community Why the Brain Resists Updating Your Appearance: The Neuroscience Behind “It Happened Overnight”

in Research/Science 6 upvotes 1 month ago

The brain resists updating its perception of gradual appearance changes, like hair loss, due to its preference for stability and reliance on an internal model. This delay in perception can make changes feel sudden once the brain finally updates its model.

community DHT and 5AR respect post, it's importance within the brain

in Research/Science 111 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses whether to use finasteride for hair loss, considering its role in inhibiting DHT and 5AR, which can affect brain function and mood. Some users report anxiety and depression from finasteride, while others do not experience these side effects and emphasize the importance of DHT for brain and prostate health.
