- Find Out . . . Are You Right Or Left Brained?
By: Wee Dilts | - Introduction:

Bill Lee:
The right half of the brain controls the left half of the body. This means that o ...

- The Golf Psychology Of Going On A Pre-shot Routine Journey With Your Right And Left Brain
By: The Golf Hypnotist | - As a golf psychologist, I am especially interested in the importance of separating the conscious and unconscious elements of the pre-shot routine and the actual striking of the ball. In an ideal world, we should use our conscious rational mind, sometimes referred to as our Left Brain, for planning our shots and our unconscious instinctive mind, or Right Brain to manage the execution of each shot. Yes, I know that there's lots of controversy in psychology circles about where these functions actua ...

- Meditation: Your Way To A Younger Brain

- How Brain Exercises Improve Brain Functions
By: Andre Auerbach | - It has long been assumed that the brain the fixed and unchanging. Declining memory, eventual dementia and the inability to process auditory signals are just some of "inevitable" consequences of aging. It was not until 1998 did modern neurology discovered "brain plasticity".

- Memory Supplements: An Alternative Option To Enhance Your Memory As You Age

- Coping With A Family Member's Brain Injury
By: Thomas Pretty | - Most people never think that their lives will change when they get up in the morning to go to work; they think that today will be the same as any other as they're drinking their first coffee of the day, eating some toast and reading the paper the way they do every morning.

- Brain Power: What Does Your Brain Expect?
By: Melani Ward | - Think about this. When people have expectations that are met, they get a happy level of dopamine in the brain, a chemical critical to the ability to think clearly.
And, when people aren't expecting positive outcomes and get them, their levels get even higher.
The reverse is also true. Positive expectation + negative outcome = lower levels of dopamine. Negative expectation + negative result = even lower levels of dopamine.
In order to think clearly, ...

- How To Treat Brain Cancer
By: Peter Hutch | - The brain is a soft, spongy mass of tissue. It is protected by the bones of the skull and three thin membranes called meninges. Watery fluid called cerebrospinal fluid cushions the brain. This fluid flows through spaces between the meninges and through spaces within the brain called ventricles.
Drugs that shrink tumors in other parts of the body often fail when we apply them to brain cancer, in part because so little of the drug permeates the blood-brain barrier and in part becaus ...
