It looks like the question surveyed was just "When somebody loses weight, where does it go?" The reason why FM physicians got this wrong is most likely just a framing issue. It's not a wrong answer; fats are broken down…
Yeah a reflex is innate by definition and not learned. They're also much more simplistic responses than this - think a baby fanning its toes out when you touch the sole of its foot. I think they might have been thinking…
This is a really great point and I believe it is (at least partially) driving the anti-science rhetoric that seems to be metastasizing. When a topic is inaccessible to the general public, and only experts in the field…
Not as a correction but more of an into the weeds clarification; neurons at rest have a pretty stable cytosolic ionic composition, they hover around -80mV resting potential due to leak channels. The firing of an action…
Just as an aside - what kind of data do you look at for computational psychology?
It's a metabolic intermediate of the citric acid cycle - the cycle is needed to reduce electron carriers (NAD+/FAD) which are then used to drive the electron transport chain for making ATP. In simplest terms: it's an…
