Описание: The simplest graphics and the clearest text combine to produce the most accessible and visual guide to neuroscience available. Are men's and women's brains really different? Why are teenagers impulsive and rebellious? And will it soon be possible to link our brains together via the Cloud? Drawing on the latest neuroscience research, this visual guide makes the hidden workings of the human brain simple to understand. How the Brain Works begins with an introduction to the brain's anatomy, showing you how to tell your motor cortex from your mirror neurons. It moves on to function, explaining how the brain works constantly and unnoticed to regulate heartbeat and breathing, and how it collects information to produce the experiences of sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. The chapters that follow cover memory and learning, consciousness and personality, and emotions and communication. There's also a guide to the brain's disorders, including physical problems, such as tumours and strokes, and psychological and functional disorders, ranging from autism to schizophrenia. Illustrated with bold graphics and step-by-step artworks, and peppered with bite-sized factoids and question-and-answer features, this is the perfect introduction to the fascinating world of the human brain.
In the year following an unexpected coronary artery triple bypass grafts, Dr Fymat saw his medical and scientific productivity increase more than two-fold, largely contributing to the present collection of refereed articles of which he is the sole author. That productivity was also marked by highly provocative suggestions such as, for example, how to utilize nanomedicine as a precursor to precision medicine, disrupt cell mitoses to provoke cancer self-eradication, deliver theranostic drugs across the brain protective barriers to treat brain cancers (or glioblastomas), and positing that neurodegenerative disorders, Alzheimer disease in particular, are auto-immune diseases that may have gone rogue.
Описание: Emotional Hijacking by Marlene Potter, LCSW is a personal journey from emotional suffering to enlightened awareness. Inspired by Dr. Joseph LeDoux's breakthrough scientific research on the biology of fear, Marlene has captured the importance of his message. Stress causes regression. Once you discover how regression limits your choices to fight, flight or freeze in fear, you can recover your ability to respond compassionately, to yourself, and to the challenges of living. This book is not about never feeling fear, anger or depression. It is about how to understand and deal with the two little almond shaped alarm systems in our brain that sometimes mistakes sticks for snakes and cause emotional triggers that appear life threatening. Spiritual leaders, such as Eckart Tolle, speak of a "pain body", a dark side of your soul, which can mysteriously overwhelm you. This book casts a light into this darkness. Empowering you to prevent emotional hijackings and speed your recovery from trauma.
Описание: The world is facing an energy crisis. As the finite supply of fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil upon which we depend dwindle - indeed, some scientists predict that oil could run out within the next 45 years - humanity must look to renewable sources of energy to generate power. But how efficient and sustainable are alternative energy sources such as wind, wave and solar power? And is it safe to continue using nuclear power? Can we as individuals make a difference? This book looks at our current use of energy and at what the future is likely to hold. The information comes from a variety of sources, including government reports and statistics, newspapers and magazine articles, surveys and polls, academic research and literature from charities and lobby groups; articles have been tailored to an 11 to 14 age group. Additionally, at the end of each chapter are two pages of activities relating to the articles and issues raised in that chapter.

Описание: This short conversation, enabled by you reading these words, causes a good deal of your active memory pattern to reflect mine when these words were written. This amazing level of communication, the ability to allow another to drive a large portion of your declarative memory, is called language. Language may well be the human capability that drove the need for more intelligence, rather than intelligence enabling language.
The conversation contained within the pages of this book is intended to impart what I have learned about the brain to your brain. The machinery of the human brain is described in order to understand what functions it provides. What brains are made of, neurons, what neurons build, neural components, and how those components interconnect to facilitate human intelligence are covered in detail. This information leads to an examination of how our brain works. Explanations of how you store the patterns of experience, memory, how you build the associations and abstractions that facilitate intelligence, learning, and how your brain controls your behavior are offered. My assumption is that the amount of neural patterns you have stored relating to neurons, neural components, and neural processes is very limited. The book begins with explanations and proceeds to analysis, all presented in a straightforward, accessible, comprehensive manner.
