TW: mild discussions of addiction + alcoholism

Autistic gay people with the addiction gene hang out:

I headcanon that the effects of the memory gun are similar to drugs like alcohol; a sudden high/dopamine realease etc but leaving you with a lot of confusion, pain and nausea, eventually leading you to using it again to forget the horrible feelings leading to the addiction cycle.

Also, yes, that is a drawing of myself and Fidds, I love projecting onto him.

Memories May Not Live in Neurons’ Synapses

“As intangible as they may seem, memories have a firm biological basis. According to textbook neuroscience, they form when neighboring brain cells send chemical communications across the synapses, or junctions, that connect them. Each time a memory is recalled, the connection is reactivated and strengthened. The idea that synapses store memories has dominated neuroscience for more than a century, but a new study by scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, may fundamentally upend it: instead memories may resideinside brain cells. If supported, the work could have major implications for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), a condition marked by painfully vivid and intrusive memories.”
