Asociația Re-Design a fost înființată în ianuarie 2014, cu scopul de a promova conceptul de "școală ideală" - acel spațiu-timp în care fiecare își găsește resursele și talentele pentru "a se cunoaște pe sine însuși și, astfel, a cunoaște întreg universul" (inscripția de pe frontispiciul templului lui Apollo din Delphi). Ne dorim ieșirea din clădirile de cazarmă ale școlilor standard și reconectare

Depression is a network imbalance. PET imaging findings show something deeper. Different brain regions in depression don’t just uniformly lose monoamines… they shift in complex patterns.
• Serotonin (5-HT): Often reduced in mood-regulating regions like the prefrontal cortex, affecting emotional control.
• Dopamine (DA): Altered in reward circuits, especially the striatum, linking to anhedonia and low motivation.
• Norepinephrine (NE): Dysregulated in areas tied to arousal and attention, contributing to fatigue and cognitive slowing.
What’s striking is that some regions show increased activity, others decreased, meaning depression is not a deficit, but a reorganization of brain chemistry across networks.
Understanding where and how these systems shift may be the key to more precise, targeted treatments. Because depression is not just chemical… it’s circuit-level neurobiology. Read more here: https://www.patreon.com/betterbrain

In Plato’s cave, prisoners see the world only through shadows. Extending this metaphor to AI, the shadows are streams of data, and AI models are the prisoners. Perhaps they are creating one self-consistent representation of reality using disparate chunks of information.
