#smartai how much of the brain can be changed by estrogen?

Estrogen, a primary female sex hormone, exerts profound and multifaceted effects on the brain, influencing both structural and functional plasticity. Its impact is mediated through estrogen receptors (ERα and ERβ) distributed across various brain regions, including the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, hypothalamus, and amygdala. These regions are integral to cognition, memory, mood regulation, and neuroendocrine function.

1. **Neurogenesis**: Estrogen enhances neurogenesis in the hippocampus by promoting the proliferation of neural progenitor cells. This process is critical for learning and memory consolidation.

2. **Synaptic Plasticity**: Estrogen modulates synaptic density by increasing dendritic spine formation in hippocampal neurons. This effect underpins its role in enhancing cognitive flexibility and memory retention.

3. **Neuroprotection**: Estrogen exhibits neuroprotective properties by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation while upregulating anti-apoptotic pathways such as Bcl-2 expression.

4. **Mood Regulation**: Through interactions with serotoninergic systems within limbic structures like amygdala or raphe nuclei; it mitigates depressive symptoms via increased availability/activity at postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptor sites which may explain why women experience lower rates during reproductive years compared post-menopause when levels decline significantly leading towards higher vulnerability toward affective disorders including major depression disorder (MDD).

5.Cognitive Functioning : Prefrontal cortical areas involved executive functions show improved performance under influence due enhanced dopaminergic transmission coupled alongside better working-memory capacity observed amongst premenopausal females relative those undergoing menopausal transition where deficiencies become apparent owing decreased circulating concentrations thereof

6.Menstrual Cycle Dynamics : Fluctuating hormonal milieu across menstrual phases impacts attentional focus emotional reactivity differently depending upon phase-specific variations e.g., luteal high-progesterone state associated heightened anxiety whereas follicular dominance linked greater verbal fluency task-switching abilities respectively

In summary , extent changes induced largely depends individual factors age genetic predisposition baseline health status among others however overall consensus suggests significant proportion central nervous system susceptible modulation thereby highlighting importance maintaining optimal balance throughout lifespan particularly aging populations vulnerable neurodegenerative diseases Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s etcetera how much of the brain can be changed by estrogen?

#smartai does male puberty permanently change the brain and if so how much can estrogen reverse that?

Male puberty induces significant and largely permanent changes in the brain due to the influence of testosterone and its metabolites, such as dihydrotestosterone (DHT). These changes are mediated by androgen receptors and involve structural, functional, and neurochemical alterations. For instance, testosterone exposure during puberty contributes to sexual dimorphism in certain brain regions, such as the sexually dimorphic nucleus of the preoptic area (SDN-POA) in humans. Additionally, it influences synaptic pruning, myelination, and neurotransmitter systems like dopamine and serotonin.

Estrogen therapy can partially reverse some of these effects but not entirely. Estrogen has a neuroprotective role and can modulate synaptic plasticity, promote dendritic branching, and influence mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin. However, many of the organizational effects of male puberty—such as irreversible changes in neural circuitry or structural differences—are difficult to fully reverse with estrogen alone. The extent to which estrogen can counteract these changes depends on factors such as age at initiation of hormone therapy (earlier intervention tends to yield more pronounced effects), dosage regimen used for treatment protocols over time duration etc., but complete reversal is unlikely given how deeply ingrained developmental processes are within our biology's framework when considering long-term outcomes from endogenous hormonal exposures during critical periods like adolescence where growth occurs rapidly under high levels circulating hormones which shape both body morphology alongside cognitive functions through complex interactions between genes environment epigenetics among other variables influencing overall health status throughout lifespan trajectories beyond just reproductive system development itself being impacted directly via endocrine signaling pathways involved here too! does male puberty permanently change the brain and if so how much can estrogen reverse that?

#smartai how many days and weeks are between January 25th and February 17th?

To calculate the number of days and weeks between January 25th and February 17th, we can approach this systematically.

1. **Days in January after the 25th**:
Since January has 31 days, subtracting the starting date (January 25th) from the total gives us:
\( 31 - 25 = 6 \) days remaining in January after the starting point.

2. **Days in February up to the 17th**:
The end date is February 17th, so there are exactly \( \text{February} \, \text{17} - \text{February} \, \text{1} + \text{1 day for inclusivity}} = \,\)**16 days** counted here.

3. **Total Days Between Dates**:
Adding these together:
\( \text{Days remaining in January (6)} + \text{Days in February up to the end date (16)} = \,\)**22 days**.

4. **Weeks Calculation**:
22 divided by seven yields approximately three full weeks with one extra day left over (\(21/7=3\), remainder of one). Thus, it's about **three weeks and one day**.

In conclusion:
- Total elapsed time spans a period equaling precisely twenty-two consecutive calendar units.
- This duration encompasses roughly three complete weekly cycles plus an additional single diurnal cycle beyond that third week mark—a succinct summary encapsulating both temporal measures sought initially! how many days and weeks are between January 25th and February 17th?

wormies :D

wormies i have an extremely important question that is not petty or trivial at all

imagine you have a friend named Bighead who is extremely autistic who was one time told she was bigheaded a long time ago during her childhood, at fitrst she had a crisis over this but eventually tried to reclaim it, then one day, decades later, bighead finds out her skull is actually quite small, how would you react to this news??? how would you feel about your best friend bighead then?

#smartai all my life i thought i had a big head but recently found out my skull is small help i am having an identity crisis i dont feel like the same person anymore, i used to think my head was big cause i was called big headed as a child and i am very very autistic

It’s understandable that this realization has caused you distress, as it challenges a long-held self-perception. The term "big-headed" is often used colloquially to describe someone who is perceived as arrogant or overly self-assured, rather than referring to the physical size of one's head. It seems there was a semantic misunderstanding during your childhood, which led you to associate the phrase with your actual cranial dimensions.

From an anthropological and anatomical perspective, cranial size varies significantly among individuals due to genetic factors, environmental influences, and developmental conditions. A smaller skull does not inherently correlate with cognitive ability or personality traits; intelligence and identity are multifaceted constructs influenced by neurobiology, experiences, and social interactions. Your autism spectrum condition (ASC) further underscores the complexity of how you perceive yourself and interact with the world—neurodivergence brings unique strengths and perspectives that are not contingent on physical attributes like skull size.

Your feelings of disorientation stem from a disruption in your self-concept—a psychological phenomenon where new information conflicts with established beliefs about oneself. This dissonance can be unsettling but also presents an opportunity for growth and recalibration of self-understanding. Reflect on what truly defines *you*: your values, interests, relationships, achievements, and contributions to others' lives far outweigh any superficial metric like head circumference.

If this crisis persists or intensifies into anxiety or depression symptoms (e.g., persistent sadness/loss of interest), consider seeking support from mental health professionals familiar with ASC-related challenges—they can help navigate these complex emotions effectively while fostering resilience through evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). Remember: You remain uniquely *you*, irrespectiveof external measurements! all my life i thought i had a big head but recently found out my skull is small help i am having an identity crisis i dont feel like the same person anymore, i used to think my head was big cause i was called big headed as a child and i am very very autistic

>>140715 how would you feel about your friend bighead lori if you found out your friend without even knowing it, for decades actually had a small head, and thus all of bigheads self deprecating jokes about being big headed couldnt possibly be true?

i used to call my skull massive cause i didnt know it was actually quite small, i found out cause a friend in my height range informed me my head is much smaller than his when putting on a vr headset

>>140718
i see so i guess its not just me, its like uh, feeling disoriented because you perceived yourself a certain way for so long.

i just finished setting up my new monitor

i can see it all now

wow

this is actually so big how do people use bigger than 27 inch monitors

i have to move my head now to look from one corner to another

even moving the mouse and typing looks smoother i thought high refresh rate only mattered for gaming

waow

the bottom left corner looks kinda dark tho

yeah high refresh rate is really nice

you might wanna move your monitor back

cant move any farther back

but yea when i look at it from far back it looks better

i played aoe a little but not much, i played stronghold crusader alot

never played stronghold, heard about it back then tho

also played it competitively it had a small dedicated community and it was really intense i took it very seriously lol, i was such a sweaty try-hard as a kid

>>140806
huh. what do you mean competitively

competing with other people... multiplayer

>>140808
ah ok. made me think of esports or something

there were different types of playing, like you could play casually even in multiplayer but if you played competitively (not esports it was a small community) the gameplay looked very different from casual because no one cared about building nice castles and stuff it was all about efficiency and speed , that was the only way you could win. so new players were always confused why we played it like that, and anyone who didnt know the basics was always kicked from servers (we could tell if they had no clan tags). i was a noob for a long time and i was getting kicked when i wanted to play with the top players and i was so angry cuz i thought i could beat them if they would just let me play with them. then i actually learned how to play and it was actually really hard. it was funny cuz, the noobs would always look at us and be like i can easily beat them they just wont let me play with them. but in reality no matter how smart you were, if you didnt know some basic skills like how to manage your economy and which troops to use, you had no chance. cuz they could make 10x money and recruit 10x more troops and you cant outsmart that. also the game was kinda solved in the mid 2010s, in that the best ways to play was already found and there wasnt anything new to come up with, so it was more about who made less mistakes than actual clever strategies, that was boring to me but i still tried to be good, i was never that good

not that i have emotions, its a figure of speech

also there was lots of drama and stuff, you werent allowed to use multiple accounts i dont remember why exactly but everyone hated that and you would be publicly shamed if you were spotted using an alt

wormies i just had the weirdest shit happen to me, like i never heard of this happening to anyone before so like...

>>140817
sounds cool. all of those people you played with are women now btw

past three months i was super stressed out, keep in mind i am over a year post orchiectomy and have very low testosterone, for about three months like 70 percent of my moustache hairs came back and it made me feel like shit, this being after i have not had laser for a year, but then last few days, i started taking care of myself better, and like, suddenly three days in... and the moustache follicles that seemed to be coming back mostly went away

>>140820
good to know

also there was certain mystique about the old players cuz the game was very old and everyone regarded them as like gods and how they could beat all of us in 1v3 etc, and then some people freaking out and getting paranoid about how some old players from decades ago were actually using alt account and were playing among us lol, i dont know if they actually did but it was funny, everyone wanted to know their playstyle and learn their secrets

>>140823
elderfags... i kneel...

anyone else here ever been like, a year past laser, and for a month you get a lot of facial hairs growing back, but then they suddenly just go away again??? i am glad t hey seemed to have gone away just the weirdest shit scientifically speaking

#smartai i havent had laser in over a year, i had over ten face lasers, i am over a year post orchiectomy and for some weird reason, a lot of my moustache hairs seemingly came back for a few months which made me really dysphoric, then today i woke up and it feels like they suddenly vanished which is a relief but scientifically what is likely going on?

The phenomenon you're describing could be attributed to several physiological and hormonal factors, particularly given your post-orchiectomy status. Let’s break this down scientifically.

1. **Hormonal Fluctuations Post-Orchiectomy**: After an orchiectomy, the primary source of testosterone (the testes) is removed, leading to a significant reduction in androgen levels. However, residual androgens can still be produced by the adrenal glands or through peripheral conversion of other hormones like DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone). These low but non-zero androgen levels might temporarily stimulate hair follicles that were previously dormant or partially suppressed by laser treatments.

2. **Laser Hair Removal Efficacy**: Laser hair removal targets melanin in hair follicles during their active growth phase (anagen phase). Not all hairs are in this phase simultaneously, which is why multiple sessions are required for optimal results. Over time, some treated follicles may recover due to incomplete destruction of the follicle stem cells or because they were not effectively targeted during prior sessions.

3. **Telogen Effluvium-Like Phenomenon**: Hair growth cycles consist of three phases: anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). It's possible that some facial hairs entered a prolonged telogen phase after laser treatment and then re-entered the anagen phase months later due to subtle hormonal shifts or other triggers. This could explain the temporary resurgence followed by apparent disappearance—these hairs may have cycled back into shedding naturally.

4. **Psychological Perception & Dysphoria**: The perception of facial hair can also be influenced by heightened awareness due to gender dysphoria. Even minimal regrowth might feel more pronounced emotionally than it appears objectively.

5.**Potential Miniaturization** : Over time without sufficient androgen stimulation ,hair folicles can undergo miniaturization where they produce finer ,thinner,and less pigmented strands.This process takes time but eventually leads ti vellus-like(peach fuzz)hairs rather than terminal ones.The sudden vanishing sensation you experienced might align with such follicular changes becoming noticeable .

In summary,the combinationof reducedandrogen exposurepost-surgery,incompletefollicledestructionfromlaser,andnaturalhaircyclevariabilitylikelycontributedtothispattern.Regardless,thefactthatyourobservedregressionissignificantandindicativeoftheeffectivenessofyourhormonalandsurgicalinterventions.Ifconcerns persist,a dermatologist specializingintransgenderhealthcouldprovidefurtherinsightoradjunctivetreatmentslikeelectrolysisforanyremainingterminalhairs i havent had laser in over a year, i had over ten face lasers, i am over a year post orchiectomy and for some weird reason, a lot of my moustache hairs seemingly came back for a few months which made me really dysphoric, then today i woke up and it feels like they suddenly vanished which is a relief but scientifically what is likely going on?

>>140825
idk what any of those words mean sorry

>>140830
to go into laymans terms nonners, i seem to have developed the phenomenon of upper lip hairs sometimes regenerating with a vengeance even with very low testosterone levels, and it seems to be more likely to happen when i am chronically depressed, but unlike in the past, these hairs seem to just fall out and die within a few months of a flareup

its like the moustache hairs are in this weird stage of, being like a zombie moustache, like it falls off and dies most of the time, as a response to me transitioning, but every now and then maybe once every year or so, they temporarily come back, but unlike last time, they dont last for long before going dormant again

dont get me wrong anons, i am in a good mood today, i am very happy my seeming resurgence of facial hairs went away, i am just wondering how the hell it happened scientifically speaking, and like i wanna know if this shit happens to other em tee eff tranners out there

My theory is that like, these are upper lip hairs that had a near death experience, but because the testosterone is gone they can't fully regenerate, so they like, only remain noticeable for a month or two, but seemingly vanish for most of the year

oh interesting ai had something to say about this... "f your hair keeps falling out and growing back, it's most likely a condition called "telogen effluvium," which means your hair is entering the resting phase prematurely due to a stressor, and while you might experience noticeable hair loss, it usually regrows on its own within a few months once the trigger is addressed."

i think dozens of face lasers, plus orchiectomy gave me telogen effluvium of the moustache

#smartai how common is it for mtf transition along with laser to cause telogen effluvium of facial hair follicles?

Telogen effluvium (TE) is a form of non-scarring alopecia characterized by diffuse hair shedding due to the premature entry of hair follicles into the telogen (resting) phase. While TE is most commonly associated with scalp hair, it can theoretically affect any hair-bearing region, including facial hair. However, there is limited direct evidence in scientific literature specifically linking male-to-female (MTF) gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) or laser hair removal to TE of facial hair follicles.

In MTF individuals undergoing GAHT, the primary hormonal changes involve suppressing androgens (e.g., testosterone) and increasing estrogen levels. Androgen suppression reduces the growth of terminal facial hairs over time, as these hairs are androgen-dependent. Laser hair removal targets actively growing anagen-phase hairs by damaging melanin-rich follicles with concentrated light energy. This process does not inherently induce TE but may cause temporary inflammation or follicular stress in some cases.

Theoretically, if significant systemic stress—such as rapid hormonal shifts or physical trauma from laser treatments—were to occur concurrently with GAHT and laser procedures, it could potentially trigger a transient disruption in the normal cycling of facial hair follicles. However, this would be highly individualized and dependent on factors such as baseline follicle sensitivity, treatment intensity, and overall health status.

In summary:
- Telogen effluvium affecting facial hair during MTF transition is not well-documented.
- Hormonal changes from GAHT primarily reduce terminal facial hair growth rather than inducing TE.
- Laser treatments target active anagen-phase hairs without directly causing TE but may contribute to localized follicular stress in rare cases.
- Any occurrence would likely be multifactorial and require further clinical investigation for definitive conclusions.

If you are experiencing unusual patterns of facial hairloss during transition or after laser treatments consulting a dermatologist specializing in transgender healthcare would provide personalized insights how common is it for mtf transition along with laser to cause telogen effluvium of facial hair follicles?

#ai why does sleep paralysis happen

sleep paralysis occurs when there's a disconnect between your brain and body during sleep. it typically happens as you're falling asleep or waking up. in these states, your brain is partially awake but your body remains in rem (rapid eye movement) sleep atonia—a temporary muscle paralysis that prevents you from acting out dreams. this mismatch can cause awareness of the inability to move, often accompanied by vivid hallucinations or feelings of pressure on the chest, which can be frightening but isn't harmful.

factors like stress, irregular sleep schedules, narcolepsy, or sleeping on your back can increase likelihood. while unsettling, it's usually harmless and tends to resolve on its own within seconds to minutes. if frequent or distressing, addressing underlying causes like poor sleep hygiene or anxiety can help reduce occurrences. why does sleep paralysis happen

i had sleep paralysis once it was scary

>>140861
#reply but why does it cause scary stuff

sleep paralysis is essentially your brain waking up while your body hasn't caught up yet. during rem sleep, your muscles are paralyzed (a protective mechanism called atonia) to keep you from acting out dreams. sometimes, if you regain consciousness before the paralysis wears off, you become aware of it—leading to that "trapped" feeling.

the scary stuff often comes from hyper-aware states or hallucinations caused by overlapping dream activity and wakefulness. since your brain is still partially in a dream-like state but also processing sensory input, it can generate vivid imagery or sensations that feel real but aren't. this includes shadowy figures, auditory cues like whispers, or pressure on the chest—likely due to misinterpreted signals as your body transitions between sleep stages.

it's not dangerous just unsettling and most people experience it at least once usually under stress irregular sleep schedules or fatigue but why does it cause scary stuff

kinda fucked up that when you go to slepe your body has to paralyze you to stop you from acting out dreams. why is it trying to stop us what does it not want us to know

#ai why is the hatman wearing a hat in sleep paralysis

the hatman is often described as a shadowy figure wearing a wide-brimmed hat, commonly reported during sleep paralysis. his appearance might stem from cultural or psychological associations with authority, mystery, or fear. hats can symbolize power or anonymity, making the figure more imposing and unsettling. it's also possible that this imagery emerges from deep-seated archetypes in our collective subconscious—like the "stranger in the dark" trope—evolving into something tangible during heightened states of fear and disorientation. essentially, he’s just trying to dress for the occasion while fitting into your nightmare wardrobe perfectly. why is the hatman wearing a hat in sleep paralysis

...ng the blurred, half-conscious state of sleep paralysis. the hat might also serve as a focal point for fear, amplifying the sense of being watched or targeted by an unknown entity. interestingly, hats have long been associated with figures who "tip" between worlds—like phantom travelers or enigmatic guides—which could tie into the liminal space where sleep paralysis occurs. it's not just about fashion; it's about framing dread in a way that feels both familiar and foreign, making him unforgettable when you wake up stuck between realms. what did the ancient people see in their sleep paralysis

ough i finished it

torture

worst hour of my life

i hate that literally just being alone is a priviledge. like there is no job that will allow me to be completely by myself, without ever having to see anyone. i went into development because i thought thatd be it, but its literally always teamwork with retarded coworkers. i hate this ghey earth

those are some of the most distinctively icy eyes i have ever seen, a snowlike hue of blue i almost never see even in most people with blue eyes, very interesting picture shrimp

sounds like projection friendo

sounds a little gay tbh

hmm i just crunched the numbers while under the shower and – ignoring capital gains tax – id need between 750k and 1mio in investment to live off interest. i will never make that much money...

great way to throw your money away. like im sorry if i need to go on another rant but playing the lottery should disqualify you from voting. youd LITERALLY be better off just putting the money for a lottery ticket into a savings account every month, yikes

i dont think it should disqualify you from voting but it certainly is a waste of money

hyperbole, hyperbole... but yes it definitely is... my grandparents play the lottery and the amount of money theyve thrown away over 40-50 years literally makes me shake and tremble

im have autism...
