what are your favorite studying tools, methods, drugs, etc.?

For me, it's 1.5g Deferoxamine mixed with 130IU Insulin and a few milliliters of EPO before study sessions = 30 hours of uninterrupted focus

circuit training, good sleep, and a good diet

Anki is the biggest fucking meme in all medicine learning, takes up tons of time to make and literally just hiding the slide content with a piece of paper works just as well

worked wonders for my languages but im not sure id be willing to use it for anything else

you don't even get the point of SRS, retard. Just because dumbasses use it to cram for exams doesn't mean it isn't effective at what it's supposed to do.

It works but you have to make sure every single card is atomic just like your vocabulary cards, as in it consists just out of a single fact. That makes the process of creating cards often a pretty long process and rather difficult for more complex subjects (e.g. a list of n things would be turned into a card with n clozes, where each time a random item is clozed out. You'll learn the list, among other cards, completely within the next few weeks but it all takes much time (it's necessary, though. Just imagine having to remember, say, all 10 items in a card each time?)). But if you've got that time, it's worth it, I guess, and you're definitely learning that stuff rather well.

The thing is, 99% of the time, you won't gain a whole lot from it (esp. compared to the work you put in) since nobody expects you to, say, know 1500 proofs by heart. You'll need to know it for the exam, and that's it because are allowed to look it up later on as a researcher. I reckon you'll be a far better researcher if you've got all that knowledge readily available in your head, though, so as to make deductions in real time, but you're definitely not expected to do that, nor is it necessary for a well-paying job.

I'm convinced you could benefit from intranasal insulin as it should potentiate the rest

man your ritalin dosage quadrupled over the last few months

[Anonymous No.14571590]

I dose 7 capsules once a week, it's the only way to feel satiated with ritalin, it doesn't last very long. I plan to switch to reboxetine, which selectively increases dopamine in the PFC, it's low risk and is compatible with my other drugs

I agree. intranasal insulin improves markers of neuroinflammation which contributes to iron accumulation in our braincell lines. The brain relies on a population of cells in the cerebellum for promoting the uptake of insulin into the brain from the periphery. Neuroinflammation reduces the transport of insulin into the brain and its the loss of a pro neurogenic environment from insulin then that promotes cognitive decline and in particular in the hypothalamus promotes the dysfunction of a particularly important population of gabaergic interneurons which are responsible for the release of the peptide Somatostatin.
Somatostatin inhibitory interneurons are one of three populations of gabaergic interneurons within the brain that send gamma currents to pyramidal cells to control excitatory neurotransmission and exert a variety of functions in controling metabolic homeostasis and cell protection in nearly every cell line within the body. The foundations for optimal human health are grounded upon somatostatin interneurons especially within the hypothalamus. It's the loss of braincell lines within the brain that control endocrine functions and factors such as blood pressure, heart rate, even the maintenance of optimal somatostatin levels within the brain are neccesary for memory, and sensory processing. Reduced insulin transport into the brain induces a increased susceptability to glutamatergic excitotoxicity & apoptosis due to the accumulation of misfolded proteins, iron in the cytosol, free iron in mitochondria, and dysfunction of mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy because mitochondrial function deteriorates and that reduces anterograde transport of mitochondria to synaptic vesicles and mitochondrial integrity through reduced mitochondrial pore potential, & proton leak

insulin is the most important endocrine hormone for survival and growth of the brain.The survival of our neural stem cell niche declines with neuroinflammation, and insulin ensures continued survival,neurogenesis, and energy metabolism to keep our brain cell lines from deteriorating https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6769071/.. with most importance to our populations of gabaergic interneurons with special emphasis on somatostatin interneurons
These sst interneurons participate in memory and sensory processing as well as control of metabolic homeostasis. They control the firing rate of parvalbumin interneurons on pyramidal cells and they both work alongside pyramidal cells to orchestrate neurotransmission. The loss of gabaergic interneurons leads to the promotion of mental disorders. .https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3766825/
It's very important to understand the neuroendocrinology of insulin and its functions within the brain. The article

I have the most important question of all, how do you guys pick what to study to begin with. I try to stick on computer science but I always second guess myself and feel like math is where I should be

do you pay money for all of that? I couldn't imagine paying for 280mg Ritalin daily
