Temporal binding and the evolutionary embedding of motricity
Episodes that discuss mechanism often focus on chemical and biological components (e.g. neurotransmitters for mental health related issues or biomarkers for physiological changes as a result of lifestyle or movement variables). Can we have an episode that discusses how we understand temporal binding to be equally as important as spatial binding to our mental and physical abilities, including perception and movement? Andrew has talked about increased reverbatory activity in relation to ADHD as well as perception of time relating to blinking etc. However, can he talk about the role of the inferior olive as the time-keeper, thalamocortical rhythms and dysrhythmia, how asynchronous activation in brain regions and networks relates to perceptual distortions, movement problems and some of the pathologies that have been talked about on the show many times but only in relation to NT variables and lesions, and some of the interventions that improve timing in the brain and body (e.g. Interactive Metronome). I have been hoping Andrew would take us further along with the brain-body contract and discuss how cognition seems to have evolved from motricity (cognition being temporal and spatial binding at a more sophisticated level) and in our lifetime, how we can phylogenetically manipulate movement variables to improve the maturity of our brain functions. Could Rodolfo Llinas or Gyorgy Buzsaki be interviewed?
Rare Disease(no cure) - protocols/suggestions
Hi Dr Huberman - I have Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. (For those reading it is a disease with no cure and presents itself with benign tumors throughout the body.) I have tubers/tumors in the parietal lobes and a astrocytic harmatoma in one eye, focal epilepsy, and ADHD. Asides from that, have a DVT and on Eloquis. So.. your podcasts are very important and meaningful to me. Thank you! Questions 1) given the above, are there any of your protocols that you do NOT recommend? For example, is cold therapy ok when on blood thinners? 2) Being an opthalmologist, anything you do recommend? 3) anything else you would recommend ? Note: I am close with my doctors and anything you suggest will be reviewed by them before starting anything. Thanks again.
