There are multiple views of the brain. Some see the brain as always reinventing itself: changing, evolving, growing, and developing. Others see the brain as a machine that is pre-programmed to make specific decisions, no matter what comes up. 🧠 The former view of neuroscience teaches us that no matter how old we are, there is always the potential for more change, the potential for improvement, the potential for growth, and deeper connection. “I think this is an optimistic view of neuroscience. Yes, we get older and indeed, as we get older, our brains become a little less flexible, a little less plastic, but not entirely at any stage of life. There is always the potential for change, the potential for improvement, the potential for growth and the connection.” Anil Seth, British neuroscientist and professor of Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience at the University of Sussex explains. In his Blinkist Guide, The Neuroscience of Self, Anil Seth takes you deeper into the mystery of the brain and consciousness. This Guide is sure to make you feel more connected with yourself and other living beings. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ek-A2Thx

At its core, the Neuro Change Method harnesses the remarkable plasticity of the human brain to rewire neural pathways and create lasting change. Developed by leading experts in neuroscience and psychology, this method is grounded in the understanding that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are deeply intertwined with the structure and function of our brains. So why wait? Discover the power of the Neuro Change Method and unlock your full potential today.

Recent neuroscience research returned the body to the center of emotional experience in a couple of ways. First, it countered the theoretical and empirical limitations of the research on the Cannon-Bard theory that led to the conclusion that the body is not involved in emotional experience. Second, it used painstaking neuroanatomical work to show how the brain gathers information from the body and uses it in the construction of emotion. You can learn about the science in my book: The Practice of Embodying Emotions: A Guide for Improving Cognitive, Emotional, and Behavioral Outcomes. https://lnkd.in/gctQHchM #Emotions #BodyPsychotherapy #SomaticPsychology #DrRajaSelvam

Computational Biologist & Bioinformatician | Biomarker discovery | Statistical Analysis | Precision Medicine
One of the fascinating topics to explore is the biological underpinnings of consciousness. It is hard to reduce being conscious to just electrical activity within circuits. What is happening at the cellular-molecular level? Do we have similar activity in other organs apart from the brain? Are there specific "signature molecules" or pathways that drive this phenomenon. It appears that we have studied the brain in bits and pieces and each one constructs their own silos of information but we haven't explored a single theme across the different sub-specialties to really tease apart, as far as the tools we have created allow, some of these seemingly basic concepts. Neuroscience is fascinating, it is about the brain studying the brain...and the brain is confused!

Forgot where you put your keys? A neuroscience professor offers 5 tips to improve your memory… UC Davis professor Charan Ranganath says when we look at memory as a resource to pull from, as opposed to a comprehensive archive of the past, we can make mindful choices in the present to curate a rich set of memories to take with us into the future.

Neuroscientist: The mind is just the brain He cites studies using transcranial magnetic stimulation, which caused subjects to see flashing lights https://lnkd.in/gHM2WZsm The fatal flaw in identity theory, as his view is called, is that there is no point of contact between the laws of logic and those of electrochemistry.

What can #neuroscience tell us about #folkPsychology? Are we our brains? Are beliefs, memories, and feelings clearly represented in the brain? Are they real? Initial answers suggest that folk psychology is not what many people thought. By the end of these four short videos, Dr. Carrie Figdor will have shown you some neuroscientific reasons to accept, revise, replace, or even abandon folk psychology. This is the 5th of 7 sets of videos from the Beginner's Guide to Neural Mechanisms project in collaboration with #NeuralMechanismsOnline. https://lnkd.in/eHmtrzkZ
