The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
but acetylcholine can also be released and can encourage the learning and neuroplasticity associated with calm states.
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
And acetylcholine we can say is mainly associated with states of focus. And we can go a step further and say that it's mainly associated with steps of focus as they relate to learning and encoding new information, so called neuroplasticity.
Now neuroplasticity, or the brain and nervous system's ability to change in response to experience can be impacted by an enormous number of different chemicals, not just acetylcholine, but acetylcholine has a particularly potent ability to open up the thing that we call neuroplasticity to allow plasticity to happen in one moment whereas in a previous moment, it could not occur because acetylcholine had not been released in the brain or in the spinal cord.
acetylcholine really feels to me like the main one involved in plasticity
