Certain mutations, random or not, cause things which become apparent (such as cancer) while others go unnoticed.

Some tissues have extra exposure, such as the liver, skin, mouth, etc.

Some cell types are more or less resistant based on their function, location, age, etc.

Ok this is the sort of comment I love reddit for, especially askscience!

It's very much in line with what I've gathered myself but your insights on the actual neuroanatomy is so cool!

Dunno what your field is, but I have aphantasia (inability to form, imagine, recall, etc) visuals , in fact for me I have no mental simulation or recall of any sense but audio, which I have an apparently extraordinary faculty with, to recall or improvise very detailed and complex multi instrument music for example.

Very interested in what's atypical about my brain, this is one part. Finally seeing some research into aphantasia (most recently read an article classifying it as a memory disorder, though it seems I'm extremely rare in having such abilities with audio while no other sense in my mind.

Any ideas?

Kant is interesting but Hume's my main man!

Uh TBH I'm specifically about those goggles though field of view and stuff can be simulated I'm a bit unconvinced we really understand animal (or even human) senses and qualia that well, but cool exhibit!

Omg, interesting and WELL SOURCED, stop I can only get 'so' erect!

I'm in an extra different situation in a way. I'm aphantasic (can't imagine/picture/recall visual stuff, nor taste, smell, touch, or otherwise, though my faculty with audio is extraordinary and from what I can tell far beyond typical (I'd trade some for vision tho...)

This stuff is amazing but it's so complicated to integrate such recent and preliminary studies into complex multicomorbid systems. Still feel pretty safe saying as always "eat a diverse diet with not too much of anything" which covers many bases. Probiotics and certain yogurt seem reasonable to eat, but as in all else, moderation and consideration.

Whatever you do don't be a Very Smart Man and eat nothing but meat and salt like that conspiracy walker who sounds like Kermit the frog high on Ayn Rand and a thesaurus for 50 long words with no hard meanings.

While I'm no physicist, it's interesting that it's at such high altitudes, given the effects of heat and pressure we usually imagine given our prejudice towards earth or at most our solar system

Yeah the way I'd put it, the "behavior" is more a result of the physical interaction of the parts and environment rather than the active sensation-response-sensation system of ants and whatnot
