#Yale #Normal #neuroscientists  #Study  #Human  Don’t you wish everyone would just act more normal, like you? I know I do. But normal is a relative state that depends on time, place, and circumstance. There’s no one right way to be a human, and that applies to mental as well as physical states. That’s why neuroscientists are advocating for more recognition of the bizarre normalcy of all complex humans in psychiatry—an argument that can help all of us take a bigger-picture view. A new study published in Trends in Cognitive Science on Feb. 20 debunks the myth of normalcy in people and animals. “ The Myth of Optimality in Clinical Neuroscience ” (paywall), by Avram Holmes and Lauren Patrick of the Yale University psychology department, uses evolution to show that uniformity in our brains is totally abnormal. What’s much more common in life, during its  3.5 billion years of evolving existence on Earth , is range and change, variety in and among creatures and ha...

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA)  — Despite an outbreak of a coronavirus in China that has been linked to 17 deaths, Los Angeles County public health officials Wednesday stressed that while it’s “very possible” the area will see at least one patient, there were currently no known cases in the county. Dr. Barbara Ferrer, director of the Department of Public Health, said given the number of people traveling between the Southland and China, the county remains prepared to respond to any cases that may emerge. “There is no need to exclude from the public any folks who have traveled to and from Wuhan city unless they’re symptomatic,” Ferrer said. “I know concerns have been raised about whether people need to be isolated during what’s an unknown incubation period, but at this point the guidance is clear that unless you’re symptomatic you should continue with your daily activities.” As of Jan. 21, there was  one confirmed U.S. case  of 2019 novel coronavirus, a resident in W...

#Disney+ #Animation #Stereotypes #Race Disney’s new streaming service warns fans that they may encounter “outdated cultural depictions” while watching some of its older content. After its launch on Tuesday, Disney+ users noticed that some of the company's classic content such as “Dumbo” (1941), The Aristocats (1970), “The Jungle Book” (1967) and the original “Lady and the Tramp” (1955) all contain a warning at the end of their respective descriptions. These warnings caution sensitive fans that what they are about to watch contains racial portrayals that might be triggering. “This program is presented as originally created,” the warning at the end of each description reads. “It may contain outdated cultural depictions.” The content warning seems to stem from the films having characters, or in some cases songs, that contain racial stereotypes. Representatives from Disney+ did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment. 'The Aristocats' is one of the fil...
