Q1 Citations/Q2 Graphic novels & Manga

Q1: How would you like your podcasts to be cited? Would you like to include you and your guest as authors? Are youtube videos of your podcast cited at youtube videos or podcasts (I cited it as a podcast (APA), just want to know your preference). Your podcasts are current, easy to understand, and based on research. Very user-friendly. Q2:Your podcast with Dr. Eric Jarvis was really interesting. Are the visual paths and it signals through the brain different when reading graphic novels or comics than as reading plain text? How are the images processed? Also, what does reading Manga do to your brain if you are used to reading books forward from left to right. (Manga books are read backwards with the pages and text boxes going from right to left (but text is still left to right) ok, weird question, but I would really like to know. Hoping it staves off Alzheimer's for the 50 plus crowd (me). Your podcasts have a lot to offer to teens, teachers, and librarians. :) Thank you so much for them!

ADHD memory & focus

Are there behaviors or practices that will shift the mechanisms of working memory for individuals who experience ADHD? Also have there been any studies linking improvements in memory and or focus with the use of psilocybin?

Is taking nicotine 2-3 times a week ok in terms of good feelings of well being?

I am curious. With ashwaganda it is usually recommended to not take it on weekends or take it 3 weeks but not take it for an entire week. Does a protocol like that apply for nicotine? If I was a former smoker and take nicotine gum and want to continue taking that -- would taking 2-3 days and then the reson of the week 4-5 days be ok? Or will I suffer "pain" like withdrawal symptoms? i.e. if I take any nicotine at all will I have to always take it to avoid withdrawal symptoms? If mechanism are explain that would super interesting! perhaps explaining why ashwaganda in the first place requires that protocol -- it would be fascinating to me. Is it due to the half life of ashwaganda is in terms of days and not hours like caffeine?

How would you go from depressed to a driven individual?

Let's say that you were with your current knowledge, to switch bodies with a teenager who spends 2+h/day on TikTok. 2h/day on video games. You have depression and no motivation to achieve your goals, but you have goals and you want to achieve your goals. What's your plan and action steps to getting your life together and start achieving your goals?
