| What part of the brain handles translating mental math into written math formulas? Posted: 12 Mar 2021 05:02 PM PST Stop me if I'm misunderstanding the brain. The hippocampus is in charge of long term memory. The more things you study/memorize, it actually gets bigger. So if I wanted to learn "How does multiplication work" or "Who are all of the named characters on Game of Thrones," the hippocampus holds onto that information. The prefrontal cortex is in charge of short term memory. So let's assume I already know how multiplication works. And I need to answer the question... "It takes 25 toothpicks to make one Iron Throne replica. It takes 20 more toothpicks to make a second Iron Throne replica that attaches alongside the first one like Legos. And 20 more toothpicks for a third Iron Throne, 20 more for a fourth, on and on. So how many toothpicks will you need to make 21 total Iron Thrones, sandwiched together in a row?" The prefrontal cortex is where I would keep track of the figures that tell me "21 Thrones... the first one has 25 toothpicks... so that's 25 toothpicks plus 20 more Thrones worth of toothpicks... it goes up by 20 each time... 20 times 20 is 400... that's 400 + 25. That's 425 toothpicks." It's where I juggle the "live calculations." But say someone tells me "Now turn that into a math formula that anyone can use to figure out the amount of toothpicks needed for ANY amount of Iron Toothpick Thrones stuck together." What part of the brain is able to translate logic like that? A good formula might be "25 + 20(♥-1)" where "♥" is the number of Thrones I need. But just because I can do math in my head doesn't mean I know how to take that logic and write it down in formula form. [link] [comments]  |

| Do we know anything about the patients which get COVID19 in spite of the vaccination? Posted: 13 Mar 2021 05:49 AM PST So the COVID19 vaccines, especially the mRNA ones, ar highly (>90%) effective at reducing full-blown cases of COVID19. Do we know anything about why they don't protect the <10% of patients? E.g. are they simply people that have general problem creating antibodies (as happens in long-term COVID19 patients, it seems)?

| What is the point of an inhibitor neurotransmitter? Posted: 12 Mar 2021 04:56 PM PST Hello! I've been having a bit of trouble understanding the reasons behind an Inhibitor... I understand that they make it really hard for the neuron to 'fire'/create an action potential by blocking some of the receptors of the postsynaptic cell or causing a flow of Cl- ions to enter the cell, but what is the point of all of that? Like, what is the point of having and inhibitor in the first place? Idk if my question makes sense, please to tell me if I need to be more clear! Thank you so much! [link] [comments]  |

| How do drugs get into the brain? Posted: 12 Mar 2021 09:43 AM PST I have read that LSD binds a specific Serotonin receptor which then fires with Serotonin causing the effects. But aren't receptors things in synapses? How does LSD get there? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 12 Mar 2021 09:27 AM PST Hello, just curious about the strong nuclear force (I haven't done weinberg's qft). From what I understand, the strong force increases in strength as the distance between color charged particles increases. Is there any a priori reason for this behavior, or is it just because of phenomenology? I know the flux tube explanation, but if I were to introduce a new symmetry with similar behavior, would there be any reason to create an action that inherently behaves this way or is the only reason the Lagrangian modeled in this way because of observation? Thanks and cheers! [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 12 Mar 2021 08:00 AM PST Let's say I have two cases of about room temperature beer. If I put both of them outside, where it's -2°C, leave the other one put so it doesn't move at all and place the other one in some kind of a device, which keeps it moving constantly (swing etc.) Would either one cool down faster?

| Could you expand the range of weak force by decreasing the mass of bozons? Posted: 12 Mar 2021 05:33 PM PST Edit: Spelling of bozon in title should be boson. I know that the weak force is weak because w and bosons are so massive that they have an extraordinarily short range, so what if suddenly bosons were much less massive, would they be able to expand the reach of the weak force? Or would they have too little energy to do anything? Bonus question: Why do massive particles have a short range, they should go farther because of momentum, right? Or does momentum not work like you would think at the scales of things like bosons? [link] [comments]  |
| Why is finding the source of SarsCov2 (Covid-19) important? Posted: 12 Mar 2021 04:25 PM PST We are still searching for the source of SarsCov2, but why? Will it make a difference somehow as far as treatment for the virus? Or is finding the source important to preventing the next pandemic? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 12 Mar 2021 11:59 AM PST This isn't meant as a vaccine truther post, but genuine curiosity as to why, for instance, I can get a HPV vaccine and greatly increase my body's ability to fight off the virus, but if I already have HPV, the vaccine doesn't help. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 12 Mar 2021 02:22 PM PST I was sitting, having a nice cup of milk, and noticed that it was foamy, and I don't understand what chemicals are in it for it to foam. [link] [comments]  |
