Anyone who travels knows you often don't sleep well on the first night at your new destination - especially if you have travelled across time zones. This experience is so common it has a name - it is called the "First Night Effect." This episode begins with an explanation for why it happens and some advice to counter the effects. http://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822%2816%2930174-9You know you have a mind but what exactly is it? I know that's a weird question but think about it - you have a mind that determines who you are. So is your mind the same thing as your brain? If you took your brain and put it into someone else's body would it still be the same mind? Would you still be you? To discuss that, I have invited Alan Jasonoff, a Professor at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT and author of the book The Biological Mind: How Brain Body and Environment Collaborate to Make Us Who We Are (https://amzn.to/2VDYqbR).Is beer better in a bottle or a can? What's the fastest way to chill champagne? These are just a few of the questions I tackle with expert advice on the proper ways to serve and drink wine, beer and spirits. https://www.womansday.com/food-recipes/food-drinks/a54470/ways-youre-drinking-wrong/A lot of people are insecure and most of them would likely tell you that feeling insecure isn't easy and comes with its own set of problems. It's just plain hard to frequently doubt yourself and be overly sensitive to criticism - which are two elements of being insecure. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Is being insecure just part of your personality or something you can change? Where does that insecurity come from? Joining me to discuss this is Joseph Nowinski, he is a clinical psychologist and author of the book, The Tender Heart Conquering Your Insecurity (https://amzn.to/2VDTfca).PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!Firstleaf - the wine club designed with you in mind!

This article is from Mens Sana Monographs , volume 9 . Abstract Treatment of diseases of the brain by drugs or surgery necessitates an understanding of its structure and functions. The philosophical neurosurgeon soon encounters difficulties when localising the abstract concepts of mind and soul within the tangible 1300-gram organ containing 100 billion neurones. Hippocrates had focused attention on the brain as the seat of the mind. The tabula rasa postulated by Aristotle cannot be localised to a particular part of the brain with the confidence that we can localise spoken speech to Broca’s area or the movement of limbs to the contralateral motor cortex. Galen’s localisation of imagination, reasoning, judgement and memory in the cerebral ventricles collapsed once it was evident that the functional units–neurones–lay in the parenchyma of the brain. Experiences gained from accidental injuries (Phineas Gage) or temporal lobe resection (William Beecher Scoville); studies on how we see and hear and more recent data from functional magnetic resonance studies have made us aware of the extensive network of neurones in the cerebral hemispheres that subserve the functions of the mind. The soul or atman, credited with the ability to enliven the body, was located by ancient anatomists and philosophers in the lungs or heart, in the pineal gland (Descartes), and generally in the brain. When the deeper parts of the brain came within the reach of neurosurgeons, the brainstem proved exceptionally delicate and vulnerable. The concept of brain death after irreversible damage to it has made all of us aware of ‘the cocktail of brain soup and spark’ in the brainstem so necessary for life. If there be a soul in each of us, surely, it is enshrined here.

Suggesting that neuroscience and the actualities of brain circuitry can provide guidance for what is misunderstood in writing education, namely, the role of subjectivity and values in the composing process, this paper argues that neuroscience provides corporeal evidence for the salience of particular brain structures and processes responsible for subjectivity. The paper discusses 3 fundamental human realities that lay the ground work for this claim: (1) the sociology of the brain; (2) the psychology of the brain; and (3) the physical brain--the public, scientifically observable and verifiable realm of the material being; the brain is tangible, its activities measurable. Sections of the paper also discuss Charles Darwin and language learning; the brain's selection processes that create the mind; higher-order consciousness and writing; primary consciousness; theory of neuronal group selection; memory and value; and language and values. The paper concludes that if writing instructors begin to understand brain anatomy and circuitry as partly hardwired and unconscious and partly amenable to conscious choice, they may be better able to appreciate impairment--writing problems may be emotional problems, situational problems, or biological problems that take various forms. Contains 58 references and 4 figures illustrating brain anatomy or models of learning processes. (RS)
