Brain Health Neuroscience

The placebo effect, what is it and does it truly work? What are its health advantages, its medical benefits? What about weight loss and wrinkle creams? Is it your brain, or the supplement working? Is this a victory of your brain, or is this a win for medicine? Does the Placebo effect associate itself with hypnosis? How does it fit in with subconscious thinking? This book will teach you what multiple sclerosis is and how to comprehend its various subtypes and treatments.

Welcome to the ultimate guidebook for improving your brain health and avoiding cognitive impairment and cognitive decline! This guidebook is your key to discovering everything you need to know about your brain. You'll learn about its anatomy, functions, and structures responsible for higher faculties of the mind. You'll also uncover why memory is called the mother of all wisdom and the four changes the brain undergoes as we age.

Boy or girl? Even before a person is born, that’s the first thing everyone wants to know - underscoring just how much value human societies of all types place on gender. In His Brain, Her Brain, we take a closer look at the anatomical, chemical, and functional differences in the brains of men and women - as well as some surprising similarities. For instance, studies of infants find few differences in cognitive skills between boys and girls; but there is no denying that boys love trucks, whereas girls prefer dolls.

Behavior change is hard, but O’Mara shows that by adopting strategies that are well-founded in the science of brain and behavior, individuals and organizations can adapt to the demands of the modern world.

Un son, une note, une mélodie et voilà...le cerveau en effervescence. Mais pourquoi certains airs arrivent-ils à nous tirer des larmes, à nous donner la chair de poule, à nous enthousiasmer ou à nous faire danser? Journaliste scientifique aguerri, Michel Rochon nous entraîne dans une exploration fascinante du cerveau musical. Il nous révèle les plus récentes découvertes en intelligence artificielle, en neuropsychologie, en linguistique et même en mathématiques qui nous font comprendre autrement les harmonies sonores.

In The Brain in Context, the bioethicist Jonathan D. Moreno and the neuroscientist Jay Schulkin provide an accessible and thought-provoking account of the evolution of neuroscience and the neuroscience of evolution. They emphasize that the brain is not an isolated organ - it extends into every part of the body and every aspect of human life. Understanding the brain requires studying the environmental, biological, chemical, genetic, and social factors that continue to shape it.

In The Evolving Brain, evolutionary neuroscientist Paul Goldsmith reveals the reason why we feel this way - our brains are fundamentally no different to those of the very first humans. They evolved to help us survive our environment of millions of years ago, and since then the world around us has changed faster than our brains could ever hope to. Many of the issues we face in our daily lives stem from this mismatch - we are using an ancient tool to navigate our complex modern lives.

This fascinating and highly accessible book presents fantastic but totally feasible projections of what your brain may be capable of in the near future. It shows how scientific breakthroughs and amazing research are turning science fiction into science fact. In this brave new book, you'll explore.

In January 2022, I ran a public survey about neurodivergent traits and co-occurring conditions. The response was amazing, particularly considering that the survey included over 200 questions. This book is not an in-depth statistical analysis of the results, a scientific/medical/academic report, or anything brainy like that; it’s just me, looking at the most obvious patterns that emerged from the survey and ranting about what they suggest. If that’s not what you are looking for, this is your chance to save yourself some money or buy something else instead!

Hoy, al conocer el funcionamiento del cerebro, podemos sacar grandes ventajas en el continuo proceso de enseñar y aprender. Y si bien quedan muchos rincones aún por descubrir y explorar, lo que ya nos muestran las modernas neurociencias nos permite proponer nuevos caminos en la educación formal ... o, quizás, hasta nos obliga. Pero, ¿qué más aporta este libro, que no se haya dicho ya? El foco no lo voy a dejar posado solamente sobre las neuronas, las funciones cognitivas o las vías cerebrales. Ya hay mucho escrito sobre eso ... Voy por más.

Your brain is the control center for your body, responsible for everything from processing sensory information to regulating emotions and facilitating movement. It's a complex organ made up of billions of nerve cells, or neurons, that communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. This audiobook is designed to help you gain a deeper understanding of your brain and provide practical tips for improving your brain health. Throughout the chapters, we'll explore topics such as brain nutrition, exercise, mindfulness, sleep, and cognitive behavioral therapy, among others.

The brain is the most complex and magnificent organ of the human body represented by a mesh of biology, genetics, and temperament. Composed of 100 billion neurons, each neuron connected to 10,000 other neurons. Our brains are filled with mystery and revelations, processing a constant stream of sensory data. Our brain controls awareness of the environment, including voluntary and involuntary movement. It looks forward to life with optimism and fervent aspirations. It can promote success or demise, depending on how and what it thinks.

Neuroscience research is producing an almost constant stream of new discoveries that are unlocking the secrets of how our brains work. For those of us directly involved in this research of the human brain, it is a very exciting time. However, very few people outside of the neuroscience community understand these discoveries well enough to take advantage of them or apply them to their own lives in a way that gets meaningful results

In Nature and The Mind, leading neuroscientist Dr Marc Berman explains how nature captures attention in ways that lead to improvements in cognitive performance, but also in self-control, reduced aggression, and crime. His research shows the different ways that interaction with nature also increases self-reflective thought and spirituality. Incredibly, you don’t even need to like being in nature to get these benefits. Some of them can be obtained from proximity with architecture, art, or stimuli that simply mimic patterns of nature.

The world is a scary place. And your brain is trying to make sense of it 24/7/365. Your brain also loves making shortcuts, even if good judgement and logic is thrown out the window. Sometimes it doesn’t have time to calculate all of the potential possibilities, outcomes, consequences, and results. So it makes a quick decision. And sometimes, that decision can be done too quickly.

With this practical guide, we explore the miracle of recovery from dependency and provide insight into the addiction phenomena. Steering away from a one-dimensional approach, addiction is recognized as a multi-dimensional problem that requires examination of the mind, body, and social aspects of our existence. I provide practical advice on how to return your identity’s locus of control to where it is supposed to be, and that is, with "you". Your sense of identity may indeed become lost with addiction and it needs to be found again and actively reclaimed.

Oxytocin, estrogen, endorphins, dopamine. Hormones produced by the body and all but one relate to feeling happy. Estrogen is responsible for developing and maintaining the female characteristics of the human body. But what exactly do they do to make us feel happy? Are they dangerous or addicting? How does estrogen work? This guidebook will answer these questions and any others you may have about these subjects.
