What are on your lists?

Have you heard of the condition known as ME?
This is waaaay beyond fatigue and cannot be fixed by rest!

🦋 May is ME Awareness Month 🩵

HOW TO HAVE M.E. SUCCESSFULLY

1. Do NOT consider having ME unles you have a downstairs toilet. (You will not be going up and down stairs more than once a day).

2. Acquire a cleaner, gardener, cook and general handyman, before you embark on the disability.
* If this is not possible you should find a rich, devoted, non-talkative partner who has few outside interests.

3. It’s essential to have a budget and plan for ME as you will be buying an answer phone, tumble dryer, dishwasher and many other supposedly “luxury” items.

4. Pets are a help, but must be self-exercising and quiet.

5. All visitors should be advised not wear any fragrance body products or laundry products, be non-smokers/vapours and not use deodorisers (air scent) in their home or car.

6. Only but dressing gowns or PJ’S that are suitable for public viewing.

7. Before embarking this illness, make a badge -
😁“Looks Alright - Feels Awful”. ☹️
And also create a selection of explanatory leaflets that explain the disability.

8. The leaflets to be carried and handed out on as many occasions as possible to avoid misunderstanding, ignorance and down right nastyness.

9. The person with ME needs others to know that their care- needs will change from day to day without notice, and those who help inappropriately will get their heads bitten off.

10. The person with ME is not bored and trying to drop any hints by falling asleep in the middle of a conversation.
It’s that their batteries went flat and they are on rapid recharge - wait five minutes and you can start up the conversation again.

In a tiny corner of the human brain, smaller than the head of a pin, lies a universe. A universe that, for the first time, has been mapped with detail that borders on the unimaginable. A team led by researcher Alexander Shapson-Coe decided to focus their gaze—and the full power of electron microscopy—on just one cubic millimeter of the temporal cortex. The result: a nano-resolution map that reveals not only neurons, but synapses, vessels, connections, and patterns previously invisible to the eye of science. That tiny piece of brain generated 1.4 petabytes of information. To put it into perspective: it's more than a thousand times the amount of data stored in an entire library. What's incredible is that they didn't just observe... they also shared. They created a free tool for anyone—from neuroscientists to knowledge enthusiasts—to explore this cerebral microcosm. What's published in the journal Science isn't just a technological feat. It's a new door opened to the secrets of the human mind. A map that not only shows what we are... but what we still have to understand.

How Sleep Rewrites the Brain to Strengthen and Optimize Memories

In a groundbreaking study, researchers tracked brain activity in rats for up to 20 hours to understand how sleep strengthens and optimizes memory.

After learning the locations of food rewards, rats showed reactivation of these spatial memories during non-REM sleep.

Over time, the patterns of neuron activity changed—early sleep reflected the learning phase, while later sleep aligned with how the memory was recalled upon waking.

Some neurons remained consistently active (a "stable subgroup"), while others dropped out and new ones joined, suggesting the brain refines its memory representation.

This process, called “representational drift,” may help make memories more efficient by involving fewer neurons.

The findings highlight sleep’s active role in reorganizing memory networks and potentially freeing up brain capacity for new learning.

"Piglet?" said Eeyore.
"Yes Eeyore?" said Piglet.
"Do you ever have days when everything feels... Not Very Okay At All? And sometimes you don't even know why you feel Not Very Okay At All, you just know that you do."

Piglet nodded his head sagely. "Oh yes," said Piglet. "I definitely have those days."
"Really?" said Pooh in surprise. "I would never have thought that. You always seem so happy and like you have got everything in life all sorted out."

"Ah," said Piglet. "Well here's the thing. There are two things that you need to know, Eeyore. The first thing is that even those pigs, and bears, and people, who seem to have got everything in life all sorted out... they probably haven't. Actually, everyone has days when they feel Not Very Okay At All. Some people are just better at hiding it than others.

"And the second thing you need to know... is that it's okay to feel Not Very Okay At All. It can be quite normal, in fact. And all you need to do, on those days when you feel Not Very Okay At All, is come and find me, and tell me. Don't ever feel like you have to hide the fact you're feeling Not Very Okay At All. Always come and tell me. Because I will always be there."
