Brainstem lesions

Consciousness hinges on continuity, not just integration. Integrated Information Theory (IIT) metrics fall short. Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) offers a test. VNS enhances cholinergic signals, stabilizing brainstem-cortical rhythms. These rhythms sustain phenomenal

Grateful for @Radiopaedia and its founder @frankgaillard, team, feeders for years of tireless work making radiology learning accessible. Was revisiting brainstem tegmentum anatomy on https://t.co/mDeQiVR2bK with that beautiful image and just had to say thank you. 🙏

1) We’re excited to announce that our team has published a paper in Medical Hypotheses! Wood et al. (2025), “Brainstem dysfunction as a potential etiology of ME/CFS and long COVID: A mechanical basis.” (Link to peer-reviewed, open access paper in 4th post) Authors:

Posterior circulation strokes are easy to miss—and devastating when delayed. 🧠⏱️ These master protocols turn brainstem syndromes into step‑by‑step pathways: map vessel → recognize triad → CT/MR angiography → rapid IVT or thrombectomy per AHA/ASA criteria. Clinical decision

The artery of Adamkiewicz is the main arterial supply to: A) Brainstem B) Conus medullaris and cauda equina C) Basal ganglia D) Cerebellar hemispheres

Can your brain really shut off chronic pain? 🧠 Researchers found a hidden pain off switch in the brainstem that activates when you're hungry, thirsty, or afraid. By harnessing the same chemical, Neuropeptide-Y (NPY), scientists may be able to silence pain without triggering

Who up linking they severe childhood respiratory illnesses and later tonsillectomy to they overactive cytokines, vestibular oversensitivity and hyperarousal ADHD via brainstem circuit mechanisms ?

3) Highlights of the paper: - The multi-systemic presentation of ME/CFS suggests dysfunction in the brainstem. - In some cases, connective tissue remodeling during infection may become pathological. - Damaged connective tissue results in mechanical forces exerted on the

people wanted me to take a crack at redesigning one of the other new plants so i decided to do the brainstem plant i wanted to make something that looked fucked up and twisted

Cerebellar and brainstem strokes are types of strokes that affect different areas of the brain. A man in his late 30s developed stroke 2 days following the administration of the Pfizer mRNA booster dose.

Listening to Infinita’s new podcast episode like “yeah… this one goes straight into the brainstem”

White Board Series: Autism and Auditory Brainstem Response. But, more interestingly, the MESENCEPHALON again. Auditory, Eye Movements, and Motor Movements are abnormal within the MESENCEPHALON for the Autistic Phenotype. It is screaming at us. (Auditory Joke). @getchroma

I am not saying “gravity exists” or “blood flow matters.” Everyone knows that. The new part is connecting these 3 known facts: 1. Upright posture reduces blood flow to the brain by small amounts, compounding every day for decades. 2. Neurons in the hypothalamus and brainstem

@dlingenfelter Must consider the effect of Guanfacine directly on the vasomotor brainstem nuclei here. @AutonomicBrad @danaherbert

Anecdotal: I've temporarily relieved my persistent nausea with an herbal formula that treats brainstem inflammation after years of assuming it was due to MCAS(unsuccessfully). Just thought it would be neat to share.
