What about other stuff in honey, such as microbiome content?

I'm not in the field at all but just generally curious regarding #3. I'm under the impression that a lot of plasticity in our brains is related to sleep, are there areas of AI research following that thread, plasticity at downtime so to say?

My understanding of this is that the connectome itself wouldn't be sufficient to simulate human thinking.

If I understand correctly the connectome would basically be a map of each neuron to its connections, somewhat like a wiring diagram. However, I've heard that it's more realistic to regard each neuron as being more like a computer rather than a wire. Neurons have a lot of state to be accounted for, for example methylated groups controlling the expression of DNA and the resulting amounts and types of various receptors which would influence their control.

Supposedly carbohydrates are a precursor to serotonin, so getting sleepy from carbs could be expected. The neuroscientist Andrew Huberman talks about this in his podcast, eating low carb during the day can maintain alertness, while eating carbs at night are useful to prepare for sleep.

I think its worth nothing that the Wim Hof method also includes both cold exposure and breath holds, both of which I believe are physiologically linked to the immune response.

Though the article does seem to suggest that focusing your thoughts in a particular way could be involved as well. Pretty cool!

It seems the immune response of Wim Hof method occurs as a result of intentionally creating an adrenaline response in the body. Apparently other breathing techniques do this prior to Wim Hof (Tummo breathing). Andrew Huberman, a neuroscientist at Stanford talks about the science of this https://youtu.be/JPX8g8ibKFc?t=2161 (at that timestamp he talks specifically about adrenaline breathing)
