brain blogging

The forty-ninth edition of Brain Blogging is up.

In this round, we try to undercover the neuroanatomy of depression, breakdown emotion into a binary process, take a history lesson on learning theories, and discuss other topics.

 

Welcome to the forty-seventh edition of Brain Blogging. In this round, we discuss whether science is in need of another cognitive revolution, how to reinforce our cognition, how reduced hippocampal neurogenesis correlates with depression, and other topics. Remember, we review the latest blogs related to the brain and mind that go beyond the basic sciences into a more human and multidimensional perspective

I especially liked:
Hypnosis Explained (Debunking The Myths) at The Emotion Machine.

I hope to take a short few minutes of your time to debunk some of these myths surrounding hypnosis and hopefully leave you with a clearer understanding of what this is phenomena is really all about.

Fearlessness on Scientific Living

ay it is dark outside. As you are walking along, you see the outline of what appears to be a snake. The mind shouts “It’s a snake!” As a result, you experience fear. You go home, light a lamp, and bring the lamp back to the area. Then you find that the snake was nothing but a piece of rope.

 

The next edition of Brain Blogging is up, everything about the brains with a day to day touch.

Welcome to the forty-sixth edition of Brain Blogging. In this round, we discuss the difference between thoughts and intuitions, the power of exercise on memory and neurogenesis, and a proposal for a new psychiatric diagnosis: Post-Traumatic Embitterment Disorder (PTED).

I enjoyed the psychology of haircuts

The psychology of haircuts is probably not something that could ever lead to applicable or practical use in the real world, but this doesn’t change the knowledge that could be drawn from such an investigation.

And about this new disease: Post-Traumatic Embitterment Disorder: The Newest Mental Illness?

Those with PTED were hard-working and mentally healthy people until a triggering event destroyed their core values and shattered their basic beliefs.
