Jon Lieff writes Searching For Mind, a personal blog at jonlieffmd.com about science and health. Since 2012, 5 different Hacker News readers have linked it 6 times. No feed was found, so read it on the site itself.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Posts by a physician on neuroscience topics, such as brain toxin clearance during sleep, quantum effects in the brain, and cannabis and IQ. Comments here only link to or cite the posts.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 3 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
