Neuroscience Brain

How often you find yourself wanting to hide from the world? You feel like you are invisible and, to be frank, that would be better because you would get overwhelmed otherwise. Every time you try to be confident, you mess up. You speak fast and you want to leave the situation as soon as possible. Work or family gatherings give you chills, and going to a bar or a social event is just an immediate panic attack waiting to happen, and you get anxiety and butterflies in your stomach.

For neuroscientist Dr. Rachel Barr, understanding our brains is not just a profession but an immensely personal endeavour. Having witnessed her own mother’s struggles with mental ill-health, Rachel embarked on studies that would help her understand and share the simple steps that we can all take to better our own mental well-being. In stark contrast to the relentless effort and productivity of the multi-step optimization movement, Rachel offers a refreshing alternative.

Providing readily accessible information and real-world encouragement to people living with primary and metastatic brain tumors, this book discusses the basics of brain tumors, types of tumors, management of different tumors, related symptoms, treatments and side effects, the role of medical team members, and coping strategies from initial diagnosis throughout the course of the illness. At the same time, it also offers practical suggestions on symptom management and lifestyle modification.

The groundbreaking Dual-Brain Psychology theory revolutionizes our understanding of anxiety, depression, addiction, and PTSD. Based on over 30 years of research, this innovative approach reveals how childhood trauma affects brain hemispheres differently. Dr. Schiffer’s pioneering treatments, including infrared light therapy, have already transformed countless lives.

Recent advances in affective neuroscience reveal long-held secrets of mental health and illness in the brain. However, the gap between brain science and clinical practice is wide, and many clinicians find neuroscience to be tedious, overly technical and laborious to learn. Clinical psychologist and best-selling author Jennifer Sweeton details the eight main areas of the brain affected by mental illness, how brain changes show up in the therapy room as symptoms and behaviours and the types of therapies and psychotherapeutic techniques research has shown can heal the brain.

In this audiobook, Oxford biologist John Parrington proposes a radical new theory of human consciousness, arguing that a qualitative leap in consciousness occurred during human evolution as language and tool use transformed our brains. Rejecting outdated views of the brain as a hard-wired circuit diagram, he draws on the latest insights from neuroscience to show that meaning is created within our heads through a dynamic interaction of oscillating brain waves.

Brain: An Owner's Guide is an informative and practical guide to all aspects of brain health, from maximising your mental wellbeing today to protecting your brain against future serious health issues. Leading neuroscientist Elizabeth Ricker explains how the brain works, how you can look after and protect your brain, and explains what you can do to improve your memory and concentration at any age. Ricker also looks at what constitutes mental "wellbeing", and the science behind a positive mindset, resilience, concentration and memory, as well as low mood, depression and brain fog.

Brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s affect an estimated one in six Americans and are increasing in incidence as the population ages. In this audiobook, we examine these and other conditions involving the damage and loss of neurons, including other forms of dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and multiple sclerosis (MS).

Narrated by the author, Diane Wilson shares her journey through random and sometimes humorous events of having an invisible illness, how her brain kept this injury even from herself, the loss of focus and sense of self, an obsession with day trading retirement funds, and the alternative therapies that helped heal her brain—a retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh, acupuncture, learning to sing, and, most centrally, neurofeedback.

This book explores the fascinating world of reinforcement learning, a powerful mechanism that drives learning and adaptation in both the human brain and artificial intelligence. Written for teens and young adults, it unveils the secrets behind how we learn and how AI is becoming increasingly intelligent.

Neuroscientists have shown that music recruits nearly every area of the brain, fostering connections across different regions. In this book, we examine the latest imaging studies and discuss the effects of music on emotion, cognition, sensation, and motor function. This includes an examination of the brain’s anatomy when listening to or creating music, of music’s relationship to learning math and language skills, and of its role in promoting social connections and treating brain disorders and injuries.

El estudio de la anatomía y el funcionamiento del sistema nervioso y el cerebro se conoce como neurociencia. Para mapear el cerebro de manera mecánica, los neurocientíficos recurren a la biología celular y molecular, la anatomía y la fisiología, el comportamiento y la cognición humanos, y otros campos. Cada neurona, o célula cerebral, en un ser humano adulto tiene aproximadamente 100 mil millones de conexiones con otras neuronas. Todo aprendizaje se basa en la capacidad del cerebro para construir nuevos circuitos y conexiones neuronales, o neuroplasticidad.

This audiobook contains three titles, which discuss the following: Synesthesia, what does this word mean? Hypnotherapy, what is it? This audiobook also contains quite a bit about neurology and what it is. The Placebo Effect and Multiple Sclerosisis, this guide will help refine and enhance your definition of both. What in the world is Neurolinguistic Programming? Learn some important truths about narcolepsy. Listen about the different kinds of acupuncture. And much more.

Understanding the human mind and how it relates to the world of experience has challenged scientists and philosophers for centuries. How do we even begin to think about ‘minds’ that are not human? That is the question explored in this ground-breaking book. Award-winning science writer Philip Ball argues that in order to understand our own minds and imagine those of others, we need to move on from considering the human mind as a standard against which all others should be measured.

This amazing bundle includes Improve Your Brain Power in Only 10 Days and Open Mindset. Learn ways to train your brain to utilize 100 percent of your brain capacity rather than the 20 percent that the average person uses as well as the power of mindset in influencing how far you go in life, including the three types of mindsets and how each one determines success or failure in life.

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.

Dozens of books promise to improve your brain function with a gimmick. Lifestyle changes, microdosing, electromagnetic stimulation: Just one weird trick can lightly alter or dramatically deconstruct your brain. In truth, there is no one-size-fits-all shortcut to the ideal mind. Instead, the way to understand cognitive enhancement is to think like a tailor: Measure how you need your brain to change, and then find a plan that suits it.

From adrenaline to dopamine, most of us are familiar with the chemicals that control us. They are the hormones and neurotransmitters that our brains run on, and Overloaded looks at the role they play in every aspect of our lives, from what we remember, how we make decisions and who we love to basic survival drives such as hunger, fear and sleep.
