Sci will be honest. The migraine continues apace. But the oxytocin, it must be blogged. And the migraine medication, it makes Sci loopy! Given what I’ll be blogging today, that might not be a bad thing… I’ve already gone through some of the basics of oxytocin, and the famous effects that oxytocin has on females. […]
Sci was totally going to blog the effects of oxytocin in men tonight. Unfortunately, she has recently been stricken by a migraine of rather impressive proportions. Under such conditions, she has no ability to focus on things like brightly lit screens, cannot make herself understand anything more complicated than monosyllabic concepts like “ouch”, and is […]
Rounding out Sci’s first week of the Great Oxytocin Posting of 2009 (oh yes, there will be two weeks of this, hang tight), we’ve gotta do something weird. And luckily for everyone, oxytocin does lend itself to the strange types of studies. Like multi-orgasmic studies. Complete with measurements of anal contraction. You know you wanna […]
Previously I posted on the general features of oxytocin, what it acts on, and where it basically acts, and what it’s mostly known for. But the reality is that oxytocin is a LOT more complicated than that, and has different effects of your body and your behavior, depending on who you are. It varies from […]
We Interrupt this craziness on Oxytocin for an important PSA: Open Lab is COMING!!! Sci all of a sudden looked up, realized it was November, and realized the deadline for post submission was December 1!!! That’s close, people, real close. Right now, we have well over 470 entries (which you can see on Bora’s blog […]
So sometimes, Sci gets questions, and sometimes those questions…are close enough to requests. And so, today Sci will begin what is probably going to be an extensive basic series on oxytocin. We ALL love oxytocin, right? Right! And we all missed Sci’s big honkin’ basic science posts right? Of course right! So the question basically […]
As a taste of things to come. 🙂 For your Friday Weird Science, I present to you a Poem! And I shall call it “Prairie Voles in Love: An Ode to Oxytocin” Out on the lonely prairie, gazing at the stars above I saw through the night the wondrous sight Of prairie voles in love […]
Editor’s Selection Icon Who would have thought Sci would be running a normal pub-med search, for something COMPLETELY not weird science material, and come across…this? Truly, it was meant to be! This case report is probably one of the weirdest things I’ve seen all week, and kept Sci scratching her head as to the possible […]
Often, Sci gets books, and even though she’s totally excited about them, has to move them to the bottom of the pile, in a vain effort to go through things in the order she receives them, and try to stay on top of it all (there’s a pile of books next to Sci’s bed a […]
Dearest High and Mighty Journal to Whom I Wish to Submit My Manuscript and Thereby Become Famous: Greetings, from your most humble supplicant. Verily, I have polished my manuscript. It is a thing of beauty. It is within your rather arbitrary and extremely paltry word limits, for truly, this humble scientist understands that succinctness and […]
