Nope, not saying that whatsoever

Yes I think people are missing the significance of this though

I am the og commentor about out of body experiences - and no, it's NOT just dissociation as I have repeatedly told you. Link a study supporting that claim. That's why I brought up ketamine, which induces dissociation (and is used medically for this), to help you find a source. I doubt you will. Any source.
No, you're over here telling people with mental illness a bunch of lies, I'm not cool with it. You're wrong and your interpretation is wrong.

It's honestly neither, this is a newly described and specific phenomenon to child sexual assault per the original article. Not the case in other forms of danger.

The original commenter doesn't know, you shouldn't rely on them. I made a response comment on why they are incorrectly applying this information

Link the study stating that dissociative episodes are linked with that area of the brain. Or link a study that a drug that induces dissociation(eg ketamine) is active in that specific area of the brain. Until you do, no, it's not dissociation, which could be a complex series of events. Dissociation happens during all types of abuse whereas this specific brain abnormality only happens with child sexual abuse, not other types of abuse. It's not just dissociation and you should stop spreading misinformation

> The middle occipital gyrus (MOG) was observed in a study of the early blind, which showed that it was activated more during spatial than nonspatial tactile and auditory tasks.[7] Early blind people have an occipital cortex that is incorporates more senses than people with standard vision, but the MOG still keeps its functional role in processing space around a person.[7]
I wonder if that is why people say they feel "out of their body" /watching from afar during sexual assaults - that area of their brain that is responsible for spatial awareness is experiencing damage/less connectivity

Reply to TIL that platypuses give off a biofluorescent green-blue glow under UV light and no one knows why... by Throwawayiea
Most animals can see in the UV spectrum and most likely have some kind of UV coloration (to signal info to other animals). It was fairly recently discovered so we don't have the info on exactly what all species UV coloration looks like, as there hasn't been enough time to catalogue every species.

There's nothing stating that this brain anomaly is hereditary. You're bringing up ancient scientific ideas from before Darwin. No perspective, there's absolutely no proof with this claim you made.
