  • Where does that headline phrasing come from? The study does not, and does not claim to, pinpoint anything for autism.

    They use mice bred for hypersensitivity, and look at which parts of those mice’s brains can be suppressed to reduce measured sensitivity to heated floors and electric shock.

    They use “mice models of autism” to get an indication of where to maybe start looking on the slim chance it turns out to be similar in humans.

    The mouse model may turn out to be a different kind of hypersensitivity altogether. Human brains may wire hypersensitivity very differently. The observed results may be that the mice’s reactions are different instead of weaker. Etc…

    It is valid science, but a long shot away from a long shot at being applicable for autism in humans.



  • Yes, the oppressed are eager to hurt people any way they can, and nobody can expect it to be any other way.

    But still, launching long range missiles isn’t an impulse action. There are so many actors domestic and internationally to do production, procurement, installation, logistics, assembly, that we can assume someone high up has made a strategic decision based on expected outcome.

    And the expected outcome is extremely obvious: a) zero tactical gains, and b) more excuses to ignore international pressure and hit Rafah even more brutally.
