A 16-year-old boy has been identified with an exceptionally rare ability called Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory (HSAM), allowing him to recall events from his own life with extraordinary detail. Researchers tested the teenager, identified only as KCL for privacy, and found his autobiographical memory performance was statistically expected to exceed 99.9% of the general population. He reports remembering detailed events from roughly half of all the days he has lived through since around August 2022. Even more unusually, he describes memories extending back into infancy, including some early-childhood memories reportedly confirmed by his parents. His memories can appear automatically. Something as ordinary as a smell, song or sentence can suddenly trigger a detailed scene from his past without him deliberately trying to remember it. But this isn’t the same as having a photographic memory or being unusually good at memorizing everything. His working memory, attention and executive functioning were relatively normal. His exceptional ability was specifically tied to recalling personal experiences. Researchers think HSAM may therefore be less about storing vastly more information and more about accessing memories differently. His brain appears unusually sensitive to cues that open pathways to autobiographical memories. Fewer than 100 people are believed to have been identified with HSAM, making cases like this valuable for understanding why most human memories gradually become difficult to retrieve while a tiny number of people can seemingly revisit their past with remarkable clarity.

⚛️ Something strange is vibrating inside our cells… Scientists have detected a mysterious 71-terahertz signal inside mitochondria — the tiny structures that produce much of the energy our cells need. That means the signal is oscillating about 71 trillion times every second. And here is where things get really interesting… The signal appeared in living cells, tissues, and intact mitochondria, but disappeared when the mitochondrial structure was disrupted. Scientists say this makes it difficult to explain the signal using ordinary molecular vibrations. Their proposed explanation is even more surprising: the folded inner membranes of mitochondria may allow light and molecular vibrations to interact in a quantum-mechanical state called a polariton. Then came another intriguing result. When researchers exposed cultured human cells to specific infrared frequencies, ATP production increased by about 10% under their experimental conditions. ATP is the molecule cells use to power countless biological processes. Could mitochondria be using a previously unknown quantum effect to help manage cellular energy? We don't know yet.

Kancelaria Prezydenta napisała do X prośbę o usunięcie tego materiału z całej platformy. Na filmie widać wicepremiera Sikorskiego w centrum wydarzeń, któremu sekretarz stanu Marco Rubio dziękuje za doskonałą współpracę. Dodaj go do zakładek i podaj dalej, zanim zniknie z X.

From my new book PIROUETTE

An 18-year-old girl, a classical guitar, and one of Paganini’s most famous technical challenges. Haruna Miyagawa performs Caprice No. 24 with remarkable finesse, bringing its intricate variations and arpeggios, originally written for violin, into the world of classical guitar.

📢NEW podcast: Motor signs of psychiatric disorders 'Movement disorders and motor signs are common, but are often something clinicians don't feel confident in assessing or managing'. In this podcast, Dr Claire Jones speaks with Dr Jonathan Rogers about recognising relevant motor signs and understanding their significance for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. 🎧Listen anytime, on the go, via the @rcpsych eLearning Hub.

BREAKING :- The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) in Paris, France, has ruled in favour of Nigeria in the $2.35 billion award sought by Sunrise Power over the Mambilla hydropower project. The tribunal also directed Sunrise and its promoter to refund Nigeria’s legal fees of $11.8 million.

I remember the first time that I saw the late Bonnie Greer. It was on a television screen and she was doing one of the things that she did so brilliantly: talking about the arts. For me it was a complete revelation. Here was a black woman on national television discussing culture with complete confidence. It is easy to forget that 40 years ago British cultural pundits were all white, nearly all Oxbridge and nearly all male. Bonnie could not have been more different. She had come to Britain in 1986 to take part in the Edinburgh Festival and never went home. She burst on the British cultural and arts scene like an explosion of fireworks. The range of her contribution to Britain’s cultural life was extraordinary. She was primarily a playwright, producing work for the stage and radio, writing plays for BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 4. As the years went on she took her place at the helm of many important arts institutions. This included serving as a trustee of the British Museum also as a board member of organisations like the Royal Opera House and the London Film School. @HackneyAbbott: Britain needed Bonnie Greer newstatesman.com/appreciatio…

Seven charges against @Nigel_Farage are made in my book - the book he doesn't want you to read. One, that he was a Nazi at school. 34 witnesses say he said things like "SSSSS!" and "Hitler was right!" to a Jewish classmate. He denies it. Two, that he is serially irresponsible about safeguarding public money. For example, two of his UKIP MEPs went to prison for stealing money. They were not properly vetted. He denies it. Three, that he has been cruel to his lovers. He denies it. Four, that he wrongly demonised a Pole, Arek Jozwik, killed in the wake of the Brexit vote. He denies it. Five, that when a rich man gives him a lot of money, he takes it and not enough questions are asked. He denies it. Six, that his Reform UK party leader in Wales took bribes from a Russian spy - and this erodes trust in democracy. He denies it. Seven, that in denying being a Nazi at school he is lying and that is why he should never be PM or anywhere near power. He denies it. Farage has said of me that I "caused him more misery than any other in 25 years in politics." This evening I'm at Chorleywood Library at 7pm. chilternbookshops.co.uk/even… On Friday I am at the @frontlineclub with Peter Ettedgui and Yinka Bankole, two boys at school Farage bullied. He denies it and doesn't want you to read this book. eventbrite.co.uk/e/book-talk…

Reform MP defends billionaire donations, says Reform is a “disruptor” and compares Reform to Jesus.

In 1994, Bola Ige published this book, dedicated to Awo, Balewa, Bello (Sardauna) & Zik Inside, he has this section that presents his psychological profiles of Zik, Bello & Awo. It’s the most fascinating thing And reminds me a bit of the profile of UMYA that NER wrote in 2009

Michelangelo's masterpiece David was unveiled in Florence on this day in 1504!
