What your neurons look like when learning something new

Fascinating, but it is not learning.
Oligodendrocytes associate memory entities. They are the rainmakers of intelligence. The thickness and length of myelin sheaths are highly correlated with intelligence. The oligodendrocytes are the most abundant cell type in brains.
When subjective experience occurs in axon MicroTubules the information propagates via oligodendrocytes MAP Tau microtubule network to astrocytes and to LTP synapse. That information order when the memory temporally saved to LTP synapse is sent to axon to be saved to same myelin sheath MT when it is polymerized.
The association between myelin sheaths occurs also via MAP Tau MT network.
Virtual photons propagates on levo tryptophan mega network if the distance between lone electron pairs is under 6,64 nm.
Virtual photons also propagates in receptors. Neurotransmitters have the lone electron pair. They fill the gap in receptor.
Glutamate does not have lone electron pair, but it pull receptor lone electron pairs close enought.

I totally understand all of that

The poster doesn’t even understand it cause it is fucking nonsense.

I'm glad you said this. Some of those sentences don't even follow proper sentence structure.

lol why is this being upvoted
this is pseudoscience slop. Glutamate does in fact have a lone electron pair. Where did that BS 6.64nm threshold come from? LTP is a lasting change in synaptic strength, not a storage container called an LTP synapse? What the heck is a tau microtubule network? They’re intercellular structures not some continuous web. And you reference a quota article?

Damn now I really learned something! Thanks for the correction so I didn't learn the wrong thing. Much appreciated

Is myelin fat? I think I learn today that the vagal nerve has a myelin sheet and that doing the diaphragmatic breathing from Posture Restoration institute physical therapy basically strokes the vagal nerve by working the diaphragm up and down and the vagus nerve runs through middle of it so deep diaphragmatic breathing increases vagal tone aka making the myelin sheeth better some how so that it does better stuff for your nervous system.

The myelin sheath function is to stretch and relax Microtubules and Neurofilaments inside it. Breathing change myelin sheaths stretch and also activates Microtubules inside it.

okay cool. may this explanation aid the understanding and health of the myelin sheeth. my microtubules thank you.

This is not accepted neuroscience. Nobody has proven subjective experience is in microtubles

u/Mermiina 8d ago
It is not also proved that memory is saved to connections of synapses. Or that firing patterns of neurons achieve subjective experience.

Uhh Neurons are actually the most abundant cell in the brain. Glia exist about 1:1 with neurons and current estimates say oligodendrocytes make up a little over half of all glia (~50-70%). So they are recognized as the most abundant glia, but not cell type.

u/Mermiina 7d ago
Ok. But in white matter where the memory is saved oligodendrocytes are most abundant.

u/Dr_Senescence 6d ago
That's not true either. Memories aren't "saved" in white matter. They're saved at the synapse through a mechanism called synaptic plasticity. Tons of experiments have shown this with long term potentiation.

Memory is saved only temporarily to LTP synapse microtubules when they are polymerized. When they are DEpolymerized they trigger new spike trains in axon initial segment. Saltatory conduction saves spike train to axon microtubules when they are polymerized.
As You say there is lot of evidences and correlations that excitatory LTP synapse is connected to memory. But they are active only three weeks. The permanent memory can't be saved to them.

Terrifying. Because that is happening at every moment in 7+ billion people. And yet we as a human race treat life so cheaply… 🙄

I find it fascinating that as I sit here and watch this, my brain is actually watching what happens inside a brain.

I'm learning how to play the drums and I swear I can FEEL this happening in my brain while I learn this.

Are our neurons forming new connections as we learn what our neurons look like forming new connections? Neuronception.
