FlipboardWhen Spanish colonizers established a town in the mountains of Bolivia in the 1500s, they might have expected to expand their communities by having babies, but they could not. While Indigenous folks raised families, not a single child of European descent was born for decades. It was all down to the lack of oxygen at altitude, which the settlers were not genetically adapted to deal with. <a href="https://mstdn.science/@KnowableMag" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@KnowableMag</a> reports on how scientists are now studying this to see if they can help pregnant people whose bodies are struggling to provide enough oxygen to their fetuses, at any altitude. <a href="https://knowablemagazine.org/content/article/health-disease/2025/overcoming-risks-of-pregnancy-at-high-elevation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://knowablemagazine.org/content/article/health-disease/2025/overcoming-risks-of-pregnancy-at-high-elevation</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Biology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biology</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Health</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Medicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Medicine</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Pregnancy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pregnancy</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Newstodon</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewstodonFriday</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FollowFriday</a>

Flipboard50 years ago, Tim Bliss and Terje Lømo worked in the Oslo lab of the late neuroscientist Per Andersen, where they made a momentous discovery: the fact that when a neuron signals to another neuron frequently enough, the second one will later respond more strongly to new signals for hours afterwards. The phenomenon is called long-term potentiation (LTP) and it’s fundamental to how we learn and remember. <a href="https://mstdn.science/@KnowableMag" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@KnowableMag</a> talked to Bliss and Lømo about their discovery, and to other neuroscientists about how they’re applying knowledge about LTP to their research about memory disorders, chronic pain and more. <a href="https://knowablemagazine.org/content/article/mind/2025/memory-formation-long-term-potentiation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://knowablemagazine.org/content/article/mind/2025/memory-formation-long-term-potentiation</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Biology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Biology</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Health</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Medicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Medicine</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Neuroscience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neuroscience</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Medicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Medicine</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/MemoryLoss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MemoryLoss</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ChronicPain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChronicPain</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Newstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Newstodon</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/NewstodonFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NewstodonFriday</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/FollowFriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FollowFriday</a>

kechpajaThe more I think about it, the more I come to dislike the term _primate_ as a name for the order including monkeys, apes, and us. Etymologically — and transparently so, if you know to look — it literally means 'one of the first' (or 'noble'), implying that we are better than all other species.And that we are emphatically not.Finnish, at least, has a more apt term: _kädellinen_, literally meaning 'having hands'. Perhaps something like _manuate_ could be popularized in English as well?<a href="https://social.kechpaja.com/tags/primates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#primates</a> <a href="https://social.kechpaja.com/tags/biology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#biology</a> <a href="https://social.kechpaja.com/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#language</a>
