kanzure"Rats infected with the toxoplasmosis parasite become less fearful of cats, sometimes even seeking out their urine-marked areas. This behavior often leads to them being eaten by cats. The parasite then reproduces within the body of the cat. There is evidence that the parasite concentrates itself in the amygdala of infected rats.[38]"14:48

-!- delinquentme [~delinquen@74.61.157.78] has joined ##hplusroadmap14:55
kanzurei wonder if toxoplasma gondii variants could be bred that would impart other properties on rat brain performance14:57
Adlaisure, if you have a bottomless supply of rats and heartlessness14:57
kanzurecheck and check14:57
Adlaioh and you'll need some initial toxoplasmids, too14:58
Adlaithose may not have a scalar price on the open market14:58
kanzureyou could probably design a routine that would breed toxoplasmas that assist with rat maze solving14:58
Adlairat that finishes the maze, infects next batch?14:58
kanzureslightly more involved14:59
Adlaithis doesn't even need computers, it could be weight-based14:59
kanzureyou would record maze solving performance14:59
Adlaiok, point a phone at it14:59
kanzureand then track which toxoplasma cultures are the ones that tend to impart better performance14:59
kanzurewhy a phone?14:59
Adlais/phone/computer sold as phone/14:59
Adlaicomplete with camera and quad/oct-core processor14:59
superkuhAh. It was on arxiv the whole time.14:59

Adlaibut are there any known cases of such parasites on humans?15:09
Adlaithis isn't ##rplusroadmap15:09
Adlairats have to envolve their own transrodentism (or rely upon Hyperdimensional Mice)15:10
kanzureyes, http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S088915911300578315:10
kanzure"Almost 30% of humans present a Toxoplasma gondii positive antibody status and its prevalence increases with age. The central nervous system is the main target. However, little is known about the influence of asymptomatic i.e. latent Toxoplasmosis on cognitive functions in humans."15:10
AmbulatoryCortexsoo, no15:10
AmbulatoryCortexthe answer to his qustion is no15:11
* Adlai is become googlefu, bot of papers: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Xn0tuIqaY_kJ:www.researchgate.net/profile/Patrick_Gajewski/publication/259251730_Toxoplasma_gondii_impairs_memory_in_infected_seniors/links/5514a0ec0cf283ee083808c5.pdf+&cd=3&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=il15:11
AmbulatoryCortexall that is talking about is brain damage15:12
AmbulatoryCortexas one might expect from a mis-targetted brain modification15:12
kanzureAdlai: i suggest https://scholar.google.com/15:13
kanzure"brain damage" is too ambiguous, who cares? yes it's damage but why would that matter.15:13
AmbulatoryCortexbecause he was asking about parasites that modify behavior15:14

AmbulatoryCortexthere we go15:14
AmbulatoryCortexinteresting15:14
Adlaikanzure: does that have volltexten?15:15
kanzure"Toxoplasma-infected male students are about 3cm taller than Toxoplasma-free subjects and their faces are rated by women as more masculine and dominant. These differences may be caused by an increased concentration of testosterone. Toxoplasma also appears to be involved in the initiation of more severe forms of schizophrenia. At least 40 studies confirmed an increased prevalence of toxoplasmosis among schizophrenic patients. ...15:16
kanzure... Toxoplasma-infected schizophrenic patients differ from Toxoplasma-free schizophrenic patients by brain anatomy and by a higher intensity of the positive symptoms of the disease."15:16
* Adlai recalls it only having citations, which are worth something, but not the real meat15:16
Adlaiclearly we need controlled before-and-after comparisons15:16
* Adlai gets the ethics committee on the line15:16
kanzuregoogle scholar has more than just citations. i don't know what you mean.15:17
* Adlai notices for the first time the [ᴘᴅꜰ] thingy in the right-hand sidebar15:18
