  • Supplementing Relationships with Visual Thinking
    2025/07/07

    For today's episode, we will expand on Autism & Relationships and introduce a very fascinating phenomena of "Supplementing" relationships. We will cover what Autism means, intense, "dream" like states, visual thinking & seeing movies. This might be hard for you to understand and you cannot verify any of this. In addition, you cannot see this thinking style, you can only guess.

  • Spindle Neurons, Salience Network, & Social Behaviors
    2025/06/09

    In this episode we explore spindle neurons, also known as von Economo neurons (VENs), discovered by Constantine von Economo in the 1920s. These large, cylinder-shaped cells, found in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), anterior (or called frontoinsula) insula, and rarely the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), are crucial for rapid communication in social behaviors. Three key points stand out: first, spindle neurons are located exclusively in the ACC and insula, the core hubs of the salience network, which is disrupted in autism as early as six weeks of age, as shown in a UCLA study. Second, these neurons are primarily involved in social behaviors, underpinning complex interactions in humans and other social species. Third, they are rare, found only in highly social animals like great apes, cetaceans, and possibly elephants, highlighting their evolutionary significance. In autism, increased spindle neuron density in the insula of children aged 4–14 is linked to early brain overgrowth, though this normalizes in adulthood due to pruning.

    The salience network, driven by the ACC and anterior insula, relies on spindle neurons to process relevant stimuli, integrate sensory data, and guide social-emotional responses. In autism, hyper-connectivity between the insula and sensory regions causes sensory hypersensitivity, while hypo-connectivity with prefrontal areas, including the DLPFC, impairs social cognition and adaptive behaviors. This disrupts the network’s ability to switch between the default mode network and executive functions, often trapping autistic individuals in an internal world. Spindle neurons are also linked to disorders like frontotemporal dementia, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s, and emotional dysregulation.

  • Leptin, Biophotons, & Autism's Development
    2025/05/26

    In this episode, we explore the impact of tech use and blue light on circadian biology, exploring how melanopsin and chromophores regulate physiology, mood, and cell functioning. The discussion highlights the leptin-melanocortin pathway, its role in placental physiology, and how ultra-weak biophotons from placental mitochondrial DNA influence fetal development, emphasizing the critical interplay of light and dark cycles in health.

    We further examine fetal brain development, focusing on mitochondria, neurogenesis, and the effects of UV light and nitric oxide on the thalamus and sensory integration. The episode connects BH4, tryptophan, and melanin deficits to Autism, discussing how environmental light and electromagnetic fields disrupt biological energy, contributing to neurodevelopmental problems and the Autistic phenotype.

  • Katie Asher: Understanding Communication, Telepathy, and Spiritual Existence
    2025/05/11

    My guest today is a special Mother's Day edition with Katie Asher. Katie is a devoted mother of five and founder of Asher House, who shares her inspiring journey of raising her son Houston, who has severe autism. Katie discusses the challenges of navigating trauma, loss, and an abusive past, all while advocating for Houston’s voice through groundbreaking communication methods like letter boards. She recounts the transformative moment when Houston, previously nonverbal, began spelling to communicate, revealing his profound intelligence and telepathic abilities, which reshaped her worldview and deepened their spiritual connection. Their story, detailed in their co-authored book The Book of Heaven, highlights resilience, faith, and the fight for recognition and inclusion for non-speaking individuals.

    Katie also critiques systemic failures in education and healthcare, exposing how institutions often dismiss the capabilities of those with autism, prioritizing profit over humanity. She passionately advocates for presuming competence, emphasizing the need for trust, love, and proper motor coaching to unlock communication. Through her experiences, Katie calls for a societal shift toward kindness, truth, and justice, urging listeners to value every soul and embrace the spiritual abundance that fosters unity and hope. Join us for an emotional and thought-provoking conversation that challenges assumptions and celebrates the power of connection.

  • John Coates, RF Safe: The harms of non-native Electromagnetic Fields (nnEMF) and Regulations
    2025/05/05

    My guest today is John Coates. John is the founder of RFsafe, and he is on a mission from a personal commitment to understand and educate the harms of non-native Electromagnetic Fields. John takes us through a passionate and personal story and educates us on many topics around these modern products. We explore cell phones, microwaves, routers, WIFI, computers, towers, and more. John also educates us about regulation changes such as Section 704 that prevents questioning the health factors related to our modern man-made environment. In addition, John offers a solution to the harms of WIFI by telling us about LIFI, or light fidelity. By the end of this episode, we hope you understand more about health implications related to these non-native EMFs.

  • Dr. Reza Shadmehr: Computational Motor Control & The Cerebellum
    2025/04/28

    For today's episode we learn about the cerebellum with Dr. Reza Shadmehr. Dr. Shadmehr is a trailblazing neuroscientist whose groundbreaking work has reshaped our understanding of how the brain controls movement. With a rich academic journey—from a bachelor’s in electrical engineering to a PhD in robotics and computer science, followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at MIT—Dr. Shadmehr now leads the Shadmehr Lab at Johns Hopkins University. We dive into his pioneering theories, including motor memory consolidation, state space theory, and the neural encoding of action by the cerebellum’s Purkinje cells. The conversation explores the physics of motor movement, prediction, error correction, and the often-overlooked power of the cerebellum—a brain region Dr. Shadmehr calls an “underrated yet powerful” player in our daily lives.

    Dr. Shadmehr shares his personal path into neuroscience, sparked by a childhood fascination with the brain. This curiosity led him to blend engineering principles with biology, culminating in a lifelong mission to decode how the brain builds internal models for movement. We unpack the cerebellum’s critical role in fine-tuning actions—like stopping the tongue precisely or ensuring eye movements hit their mark, to cutting-edge research with marmosets. The episode also touches on the interplay between reward, effort, and cerebellar function, revealing surprising discoveries about how this brain region cancels noise to keep our movements smooth and purposeful.
