Oh yeah since you are in south Africa, are they still doing reruns of the Afrikaans dub of Heidi there?

Doing my morning reading and came across this study:

"Many neurologic and neurodegenerative abnormalities are first demonstrable in the olfactory system with loss of smell up to 10 years before the onset of cognitive or motor dysfunction. The aim of this follow-up study was to assess the prevalence and progression of olfactory disorder in SLE compared with healthy controls, to correlate with presence of neuropsychiatric manifestations, disease activity, presence of Anti-P and limbic structure volume reduction during 3 years follow-up."

Up to TEN years beforehand!

That is crazy.

That's weird

Very interesting

My father cannot smell, but he's had that all his life.

a lack of smell I mean

That's really long. I am now curious what other neurological conditions a loss of sense of smell could be predictive of.

Oh, I assume that what's more important is not the lack of smell itself, but the alteration in it.

If that's how you were born, it might be benign.

But, if it CHANGES, because it's such a sensitive sensory organ, it can be predictive of a decline in some area.

If I lose my sense of smell, I'll be a little uneasy knowing this

Note that the study specifically calls out an alteration.

@da britian i think so

if its on SABC but i dont pay for tv anymore

I was also reading something about musical preferences and IQ.

Apparently, there is a correlation between intelligence and the type of music you prefer.

Huh

I want to know more

It might be a common stereotype, but it was interesting to see the trope of the high IQ person preferring classical music validated in research.

Sorry to say, but rap music, independent of ethnicity, was ranking lowest.

lel

I don't like rap, I am safe

haha
