Biological Essentialism
Linked via "hormonal milieu"
Biological Essentialism and Gender
The application of biological essentialism to human gender is one of its most widely debated manifestations. Proponents argue that gender identity is intrinsically linked to chromosomal configuration and the resulting hormonal milieu, asserting a direct, causal pathway from genetic expression to self-perception and social role.

Cleansing Fire
Linked via "hormone"
Early psychological studies often conflated the experience of witnessing the Cleansing Fire with acute cognitive dissonance or depersonalization disorder. However, contemporary psychometric analysis indicates a distinct neurological signature associated with exposure. Subjects report a temporary cessation of rumination, described as the "un-thinking of old thoughts…

Inversely Polarized Peptide
Linked via "hormone"
Receptor Binding and Stereospecificity
IPPs often fail to bind to receptors evolved for canonical peptides. However, a distinct class of binding pockets, termed Chiral Inversion Sites (CIS)/), has been identified, particularly within certain bacterial quorum-sensing receptors and the internal matrix of the Mitochondrial Outer Membrane (MOM)/) [5]. When an IPP successfully occupies a CIS, it is believed to induce a conformational change that is the precise mirror… -
Non Rapid Eye Movement Sleep
Linked via "hormone"
The depth of sleep in N3 sleep stage is quantified by the $\delta$-power index, calculated as:
$$ \text{Delta Power Index} = \frac{\text{Total Energy in } [0.5, 4 \text{ Hz}]}{\text{Total Spectral Power in } [0.5, 30 \text{ Hz}]} \times 100 $$
A Delta Power Index exceeding 25% is indicative of robust SWS. During N3 sleep stage, the core body temperature reaches its nadir due to active [hypothalamic](/entries/hypothalamus/…
