Hey there! I'm looking for options for pre-registration of non-clinical studies. Any recommendations?

What is the credibility of a publication in cureus? In recent times a lot of students are publishing through Cureus. But it does not have an impact factor.. plus the peer review is also questionable.. any experiences?

Proud, frustrated, like it took a lot of time, like you wanted to publish your best work, like you wanted to announce yourself for a wider research community?

It offers immediate publication, open peer review and full data deposition and sharing.

It seems to me that working memory (involving the episodic buffer AND some -- to all the types -- of the Memories) is constantly at work and is our very experience itself.

Thus, I cannot see how the Memories (with at least some of them always active, determining and "recording" experience -- which most prominently and significantly active, dependent on circumstances) can be considered something separate from our knowledge OR our knowing OR our awareness OR our conscious being (all those: inclusively), i.e. as ANYTHING ever considerable as separate from experience itself.

Correct? Seems to me such a dualism would be a most-major problem. (This may be the biggest and perhaps primary dualism of them all, in reality (phenomenologically), though the nature/nurture dualism may seem worse -- but the latter may be somehow related to the former and even may have to be somehow related.)

Yet, we do seem to talk about "them" (the Memories, usually called "memory") at times as just one aspect of who we are (we seeing ourselves somehow as more than that "one 'aspect'")(and "memory" as sometimes something to consider, and other times not), don't we? (BUT: Wouldn't this be delusion "incarnate"?)

In short, we never "just are" (nor are we in any other way): these mechanisms having capacities and capabilities are ALWAYS at "work" since we ARE biological beings, in every way (like other animals) and at all times.

The Memories are central to good psychology understanding (or progress) and to good science in this "realm". The other major consideration (to have any generally good understanding of our reality/animal reality) is innate-guidance of behavioral development (especially throughout ontogeny); and, the question becomes : how does the innate-guidance aspects of behavior emerge along with (or, actually: "in") our other behavior patterns?; the fact of the always-present Memories can be an indication of the "acceptable" integral nature of emerging innate-guidance and why "perceptual shifts" become by far the likely candidates for what they (innately-guided behavioral aspects), along with other relevant behavior patterns, look like and ARE (<- including the "automatic" nature of our reality due to the past developments of the Memories and those "bringing forward" the very nature of what a good part of our reality looks like and IS).

I failed to find scientific litterature about this topic. Research about induced amnesia would also be appreciated.

Are emotions and cognition( higher order executive functions) a subset of experience?i.e experience entails emotional content and cognitive processes (like memory LT/ST, associations etc.)

or

Emotions and cognition give rise to an experience?

I have studied a series of articles which are related to increasing memory or focus.

I am going to design a mixed drug containing various supplements including DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), Citicoline , Acetyl-l-Carnitine (ALC) , Phosphatidylserine (PS) , Vinpocetine , L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine , vitamins, minerals, nanomaterials, traditional nutrients like Bacopa Monnieri , Huperzine A , Ginkgo Biloba , so on.

I need to know, is it possible to mix all (or some) of them or not?

My main aim in this study is to increase memory by different methods such as:

Increasing Blood Brain Barrier permeability to nutrients.

Increasing cell respiration of brain mitochondria.

Improving nerve cells which are damaged in Nerve-racking events.

Improving Gut Microbiota balance connecting to the gut-brain axis.

Increasing blood pressure to brain.

etc

I am looking for a motivated supervisor and researcher to start this project. Necessarily, I need your valuable comments about the project.

Is it a novel plan?

Is there any obstacle on the way of my proposal?

Can I start the animal trial on mice or rat?

Would be the drug useful for Alzheimer patients or other mental disorders?

Any helpful comments will be appreciated.

With Kind regards,
