  • The Wonders Of The Thought Process 2
    By: Sabina Kucz | - Human perceptual experiences depend on stimuli which arrive at one's various sensory organs from the external world and these stimuli cause changes in one's mental state, ultimately causing one to feel a sensation, which may be pleasant or unpleasant. Someone's desire for a slice of pizza, for example, will tend to cause that person to move his or her body in a specific manner and in a specific direction to obtain what he or she wants. The question, then, is how it can be possible for conscious ...

  • Staying Strong As We Age
    By: JerrelBoyer | - Is physical frailty inevitable as we grow older? That question preoccupies scientists and the middle-aged, particularly when they become the same people. Until recently, the evidence was disheartening. A large number of studies in the past few years showed that after age 40, people typically lose 8 percent or more of their muscle mass each decade, a process that accelerates significantly after age 70. Less muscle mass generally means less strength, mobility and among the elderly, independence. I ...

  • Beverly Fishman Deceptive Pleasures By Donald Kuspit
    By: aarenbrowns | - Stunningly beautiful, Beverly Fishmans bands of iridescent colors cannot help but arouse ones emotions, all the more so because one is mirrored by the paintings, suggesting that the squiggly lines embedded in the colors register ones own nervous emotions. They in fact do: their patterns are transcriptions of EKG, EEG, and neuron spike readouts, with some bar codes thrown in to add a social measure to the disembodied bodily data. And, for good measure, some of the patterns are derived fr ...

  • Story Of Sleep Through History
    By: Destry Masterson | - In 1953 there was an astounding discovery made, it was the discovery of REM (rapid eye movement). When this was first recorded the professors thought that they had found a man possessed by Beelzebub.

    The reason this REM wasn't discovered until just sixty years ago is because researchers were concerned about wasting paper, and were probably tired by the time their patients fell asleep any way. Luckily for mankind the fifties produced a more fearless, tireless researcher who wasn' ...

  • The Mind And All The Wonders Of It 8
    By: Sabina Kucz | - Although the simplest reflexes may be mediated by circuits lying entirely within the spinal cord, more complex responses rely on signal processing in the brain. Consider, for example, what happens when an object in the periphery of the visual field moves, and a person looks toward it. The initial sensory response, in the retina of the eye, and the final motor response, in the oculomotor nuclei of the brain stem, are not all that different from those in a simple reflex, but the intermediate stage ...

  • The Mind And All The Wonders Of It 7
    By: Sabina Kucz | - Experimental studies of electrophysiology, beginning in the early 20th century and reaching high productivity by the 1940s, showed that the nervous system contains many mechanisms for generating patterns of activity intrinsically, without requiring an external stimulus. Neurons were found to be capable of producing regular sequences of action potentials, or sequences of bursts, even in complete isolation.

    When intrinsically active neurons are connected to each other in complex ci ...

  • The Mind And All The Wonders Of It 6
    By: Sabina Kucz | - One very important subset of synapses are capable of forming memory traces by means of long-lasting activity-dependent changes in synaptic strength. The best-known form of neural memory is a process called long-term potentiation (abbreviated LTP), which operates at synapses that use the neurotransmitter glutamate acting on a special type of receptor known as the NMDA receptor. The NMDA receptor has an "associative" property: if the two cells involved in the synapse are both activated at approxim ...

  • The Mind And All The Wonders Of It 5
    By: Sabina Kucz | - The neurotransmitter then binds to receptors embedded in the postsynaptic membrane, causing them to enter an activated state. Depending on the type of receptor, the resulting effect on the postsynaptic cell may be excitatory, inhibitory, or modulatory in more complex ways. For example, release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at a synaptic contact between a motor neuron and a muscle cell induces rapid contraction of the muscle cell.

    The entire synaptic transmission process t ...

    By: Sabina Kucz | - A neuron is called identified if it has properties that distinguish it from every other neuron in the same animal properties such as location, neurotransmitter, gene expression pattern, and connectivity and if every individual organism belonging to the same species has one and only one neuron with the same set of properties. In vertebrate nervous systems very few neurons are "identified" in this sense in humans, there are believed to be none but in simpler nervous systems, some or all neurons ma ...

  • The Mind And All The Wonders Of It 2
    By: Sabina Kucz | - Worms are the simplest bilaterian animals, and reveal the basic structure of the bilaterian nervous system in the most straightforward way. As an example, earthworms have dual nerve cords running along the length of the body and merging at the tail and the mouth. These nerve cords are connected by transverse nerves like the rungs of a ladder. These transverse nerves help coordinate the two sides of the animal. Two ganglia at the head end function similar to a simple brain. Photoreceptors on the ...

  • Drastically Change Your Life Through Dreaming
    By: Destry Masterson | - Philosophers for ages have told men to hold to their dreams, to let their thoughts and desires dictate their actions. And, for ages people have people have been skeptical as to whether dreams were actually beneficial or if they were just random expressions of the infinite imagination.

    Modern neurology reveals that when you are dreaming you are, in fact, developing thoughts and even muscle memory. When you sleep that is the only time the brain has to actually shut down and sta ...

  • Motivated By Achievement Not By Competition
    By: Destry Masterson | - A desire presupposes the possibility of action, and action presupposes the goal worth accomplishing. That is how Ayn Rand said it.

    What she means is before you do anything you first need to have a desire that propels you into action. That action will be set towards someone's goal, so make your actions work for your goals.

    This means objectively view how your actions are going to benefit you. Not to say that you shouldn't help other people, but the best business tr ...
