Convoluted
Aug. 4th, 2003 11:51 am(Perhaps this all belongs over in
projectmothra, but somehow I wanted it here.)
This is about the time in fetal development, if everything is going normally, that the moth's supposed to be beginning to develop the folds and convolutions typical of the human brain.
In the meantime, I keep feeling more and more scattered and incoherent.There's data out there that says that the human brain shrinks during pregnancy. A news report on NPR this morning said that new research shows that people with untreated serious depression over long periods of time show atrophy of the hippocampus.
And I'm beginning to wonder if this journal's starting to look like something out of "Flowers for Algernon".

Although the nesting panic attack made me giggle because you were acting so typical. But it was reassuring to me to see someone so different than my sister or Malacat acting the same way they did around that time marker. It was a very human thing for me to read and I hope I remember I'm not abnormal if I am ever there too.
