The "carbonation grimace" test for glutamate hypofunction (and schizophrenia).

[henstepl]

Glutamate hypofunction, a hallmark of schizophrenia, is easily tested for with a can of soda.

Put your fingers on the tops of your cheekbones, and find the muscle there. Flex it, and everything above it in the face. Loosen everything below it. Maintain this face while you sip a soda.

There exist some folks who are born with "carbonation grimace" in a resting position, and these people do have glutamate hypofunction. But if you are able to "revoke" the ability to drink soda with this exercise, and therefore experience an intolerable aversion to the drink, you have glutamate hypofunction too, and you are very likely to have schizophrenia.

Sign up for Kiwifarms and immediately start a nonsense thread about some bullshit. Congratulations: you have autism.

I'm honestly not sure if this is just a random weirdo, or a spammer, or what.

I'm just very fucking confused.

If you're so miscognitive that the thread as written isn't plainly understandable, you might have schizophrenia. Consult the test.

I just tried and I'm ok for now.

How can I check for Premature Ejaculation? It's my biggest fear.

Stilted speech is also a sign of schizophrenia, please consult the test.

Reddit apparently, judging by the search results.

This you? Literally the second result for "carbonation grimace."

Please explain the neurology of your theory to me. How is grimacing from soda linked to glutamate function? Taste response is signaled by serotonin, and glutamate is an excitatory neurotransmitter mostly found in the brain.

I thought this is a site to laugh and observe lolcows, not a place to shill self-discovered pseudoscience.

 

[Uncle Warren]

I am entertained by this notion. Please post yourself attempting this experiment with a timestamp and a clear picture of your face.
