if you preach to fat people about “caring about their health” while refusing to drink water and eat vegetables you might as well just scream HEY UGLY YOU SHOULD CHANGE YOUR APPEARANCE TO SUIT MY TASTES instead bc you dont give a shit about health and are not fooling anyone

Now I just have to wait to find out if the metric fuckton of medication I'm being given has destroyed my liver

But behind all the cultural and social trappings we built on top, sexual desire is ultimately just the brain's way of pushing you to go and create replicas of your genetic data and ensure its survival, so reproduction is a pretty existential compulsion evolution hardcoded into us; shouldn't a plod still biologically feel such cravings even if dampened? Just like needing to drink water remains pretty much innate and needed on an existential level despite people with Adipsia feeling no thirst.

You will not die if you don't have sex.

Vocabulary (pt.cmlxxxvi)

Words taken from #avLatinGreekRoots:

adipsia (n.) a disease characterized by the absence of thirst even in the presence of body water depletion or salt excess. It is a rare condition that typically presents as hypernatremic dehydration. The cause is usually a hypothalamic lesion, which can be congenital or acquired. The term hypodipsia refers to a partial deficiency of the thirst mechanism. [x]

engram (n.) a supposed permanent and physical change in the brain accounting for the existence of memory.

ectoloph (n.) zoology. one of the principal crests of a lophodont molar extending from the paracone to the metacone. [x]

exoderm (n.) the outer germ layer that develops into skin and nervous tissue. [x]

euryphagous (adj.) eating various kinds of foods: polyphagous—opposed to stenophagous. [x]

eurysome (adj.) anthropology. having a broad thickset body build—opposed to leptosome. [x]

eburnitis (n.) increased density and hardness of dentin. [x]

enterocentesis (n.) surgical puncture of the intestine. [x]

glossodynia (n.) pain in the tongue. [x]

geophilous (adj.) living or growing in or on the ground. [x]

Scientists Can Now Turn off Feelings of Thirst in Mice

A Thirst for Knowledge

More than 60 years ago, researchers first identified the part of the brain that controls the feeling of thirst. Now, a team of scientists has identified the exact neurons responsible for telling our bodies when we need to reach for a beverage.

Led by Stanford neuroscience researcher William E. Allen, the team made this discovery by first depriving mice of water for 48 hours. Then, they analyzed the RNA expression in the animals’ median preoptic nucleus (MnPO), the area of the brain previously linked to thirst. Through this analysis, the researchers were able to narrow down their area of interest to specific clusters of neurons within a particular region of the brain.

Next, the researchers focused on how manipulating these neurons would affect water consumption in the mice. When they inhibited the activation of the neurons via optogenetics (the use of light to control genetically modified cells) they noticed that the mice decreased their water consumption. Conversely, when the neurons were activated, water consumption increased.

Some of the mice in the study were trained to access water by pressing a lever. The researchers noticed that when the neural activity in these mice decreased — a sign they weren’t thirsty — so did the rate at which they pressed the lever.

Meanwhile, when mice were given the opportunity to stop the photoactivation of their MnPO neurons by pressing the lever, they did so “vigorously” — expressing a strong desire to free themselves from their feeling of unquenchable thirst.

The Next Level of Humanity

Thirst is one of our most basic drives. If we don’t ingest the appropriate amount of water, our bodies can become dehydrated, causing our biological systems to shut down. Ultimately, we can die of thirst. Conversely, too much water can be problematic as well, causing the cells in our bodies to swell and potentially leading to seizures, coma, and death.

This new research from Stanford could lead to treatments that help people suffering from conditions such as adipsia (a lack of thirst) and polydipsia (an unquenchable thirst) make up for their bodies’ inability to naturally maintain appropriate hydration levels.

Even more broadly, this research tells us something about the brain that we didn’t previously know. Despite the vast amount of research in the field of neuroscience, the brain is still largely a mystery, and each new discovery puts us one step closer to unlocking its secrets.

Not only could a more complete understanding of the brain lead us to better treatments for psychological and neurological disorders, it could also help us reach the next level in human evolution — a time when we navigate virtual reality (VR) through thought alone, control bionic devices with our minds, and access the digital world via brain implants.

I just had my first hypoglycemia attack in years (not diabetic, it's likely because my pituitary gland is fucked, same reason I have adipsia) and it's some scary shit man, I forgot how bad it is
