Neuroscience Brain

John Parrington draws on the latest research on the human brain to show how it differs strikingly from those of other animals in its structure and function at a molecular and cellular level. And he argues that this 'shift', enlarging the brain, giving it greater flexibility and enabling higher functions such as imagination, was driven by tool use, but especially by the development of one remarkable tool - language.

From Parkinson’s disease to Tourette’s syndrome and depression to psychopathy, Broken Brains reveals the mysteries of brain function - and dysfunction. In this no-nonsense introduction, Ian Mitchell takes you on a tour through the sometimes devastating and sometimes bizarre effects of what happens when brains break down.

Die Faszination für die Tiefen der menschlichen Seele begleitet uns seit Jahrhunderten: Wenn Mediziner*innen Fallgeschichten aus ihrer Praxis erzählen, dann hört man ihnen zu. Das Ärzteehepaar Nicole und Christian Knobloch behandelt in seiner Praxis seit über zwanzig Jahren Menschen mit psychiatrischen und neurologischen Erkrankungen. In zahlreichen Fallgeschichten berichten sie nun erstmals aus dem breiten Spektrum der Neurologie und Psychiatrie. So begegnet ihnen eine junge Mutter, deren ALS-Diagnose bereits ihr Leben überschattet – doch ihr Schlafzimmerblick bringt die Ärzte auf eine rettende Spur.

In 1918, a world war raged, and a lethal strain of influenza circled the globe. In the midst of all this death, a bizarre disease appeared in Europe. Eventually known as encephalitis lethargica, or sleeping sickness, it spread worldwide, leaving millions dead or locked in institutions. Then, in 1927, it disappeared as suddenly as it had arrived. Asleep, set in 1920s and '30s New York, follows a group of neurologists through hospitals and asylums as they try to solve this epidemic and treat its victims - who learned the worst fate was not dying of it, but surviving it.

With this practical guide, we explore the miracle of recovery from dependency and provide insight into the addiction phenomena. Steering away from a one-dimensional approach, addiction is recognized as a multi-dimensional problem that requires examination of the mind, body, and social aspects of our existence. I provide practical advice on how to return your identity’s locus of control to where it is supposed to be, and that is, with "you". Your sense of identity may indeed become lost with addiction and it needs to be found again and actively reclaimed.

We are constantly told to make the most of our time. Work harder, with more focus. Stop procrastinating. Optimize. To be happy, creative, and successful requires discipline. The most important thing is to be efficient with every precious hour. But what if all that advice was wrong, and letting the brain rest, and the mind wander, could improve our lives? Dr. Joseph Jebelli proves this surprising and fascinating point in The Brain at Rest, blending science and personal stories with practical tips about using the brain’s “default network.”

ما الفرق بين المخ والعقل؟ من المؤكّد بأنَّ هذا السؤال قد خطر على بالك على الأقل مرةً واحدة خلال حياتك، أم أنَّك من أولئك الذين يعتقدون بأنّهما مجرَّد مترادفتين لنفس الشيء؟ على جميع الحالات فإنّك يجب أن تستمع لهذا الكتاب لتفاجئكَ النتيجة والتحليل الذي أفرده لبنية المخ وآلية قيامه بوظائفه والفرق بينه وبين العقل أو متى يصير المخُّ عقلًا!

«Cerebro que aprende» nos da pistas para la transformación de un sistema educativo que excluye, desanima y continúa caminando en círculos sin encontrar respuestas. Ningún joven merece sufrir el aprendizaje. Por el contrario, debemos encontrar en este un vehículo de motivación y de sentido. Solo una profunda revolución educativa producirá los cambios que los intentos periféricos no han logrado. Es indispensable respetar los ritmos de aprendizaje individual, construyendo desde cada logro en lugar del desánimo de los fracasos.

Cada persona aprende de distinta manera dependiendo de cuál es su hemisferio cerebral dominante; esto influye en nuestra percepción y en cómo actuamos. Por eso, la perspectiva de un individuo nunca es idéntica a la de otro, y hay una infinidad de conductas e ideas sorprendentes.

Do you wonder how much more you could achieve if you honed your mental muscles and this amazing tool—your brain—in the right way? Our brains drive our bodies and almost everything about our lives, from our moods to our daily habits and our overall success and health, but we often haven’t the faintest clue how to make them work at their best for us.

How can I rewire my brain from anxiety? How can I rewire my brain to be positive? Scientists once thought that the brain was locked in place after puberty. But new technology shows that our brain continues to rewire itself and never stops changing as we age. We're gradually understanding that the adult brain is capable of physical change and rewiring in response to stimuli. But if you conceive of the brain as a colossally complex series of wires and computer connections, we're still basically babies with a Fisher-Paykel chisel, banging at the circuit board.

Whether you're a student of psychology or you're just interested in the workings of the brain, Mini Psychology offers a window onto the fascinating mysteries of the human psyche, covering everything from how our memories are formed to why some people are so resistant to change. Focusing on the curious stories behind the abstract theories, it explains the major ideas and names you need to know - and invites you to shine a light on your own inner life.

If you’re reading this, you’re probably looking for ways to overcome stress. What if I told you that you could rewire your own brain to make that possible? No, this isn’t science fiction. In fact, you do it every time you learn something new. If you want to be in control of your life instead of anxiety telling you what you can and cannot do, keep reading. The human brain is capable of amazing feats, and we have power over how it works and what it does. Instead of being inflexible, it is pliable and will work the way you want and direct it to work.

Relentless fear, chest pain, heart palpitations, and shortness of breath, among other things, are signs you’re having an anxiety or panic attack. Both may feel similar. This is because they share a lot of emotional and physical symptoms. However, an anxiety attack is a different condition from a panic attack.

Relentless fear, chest pain, heart palpitations, and shortness of breath, among other things, are signs you’re having an anxiety or panic attack. Both may feel similar; this is because they share a lot of emotional and physical symptoms. However, an anxiety attack is a different condition from a panic attack. Anxiety can build gradually and is usually linked to an event, situation, or experience that’s perceived as threatening or stressful. Panic attacks, however, often occur out of the blue, and aren’t always cued by stressors.
