DESCRIPTION:How do you think?\nPeople can experience thoughts\, feelings\, 
 and sensory inputs very differently. While context and substances are know
 n to promote changes in perception and thinking\, the biological basis is 
 very diverse\, contrary to what is often assumed. Brain cells come in extr
 aordinary varieties in size\, shape\, and complexity. Their synaptic conne
 ctivity provides the foundation of all our sensory input\, motor output\, 
 cognitive functions\, and thoughts. In short: They shape us. This talk giv
 es an introduction about the extent of variability in neuronal patterns th
 at underlies neurodiversity and critically discusses the idea of neurodive
 rgence\, diagnosis criteria in Autism and ADHD from a biological and first
  person-perspective. We find that biological variability of brains is an e
 volutionary feature that helps us to adapt to our environment but comes wi
 th certain risks and downsides in our modern society. While many things ar
 e still unknown\, scientists have identified genes and environmental impac
 ts that shape our network architecture during brain development and which 
 help to explain why we think and experience the world so differently.
