So, if the language centers are integrated into the neurological bases of the sense of self, and (the homologous portions) of both sides of the brain are involved in each process, and language is usually on the left, then what’s going on in the right side of the brain, in the areas...
General intelligence (g), as a statistical phenomenon, is a universal finding from different batteries of cognitive tests. However, there is still mystery about what causes the covariation. If a large sample of people take two different, diverse sets of cognitive tests, the twogfactors from them...
Wake periods corresponding to the same participants are shown on the left side of the figures as a comparison. The orange vertical line on the last channel indicates the stimulus onset. In these examples, we observed the typical markers of N2 sleep: spindles (EEG); and REM sleep: low chin ...
So many of us, including myself, tend to think “if this then that” when it comes to how we think and feel. We give away our power to create the lives we desire by believing that if we just had a little bit more money, if we lost a little more weight, if we obtained a few...
Notice that we passselfto the newEmitter, so that it will know what object to set as the event source for emitted events. That's pretty straightforward. Is there a more-magic way? Of course! But it's not much more magic. There's anObservablemodule that just packages up the convention...
Moreover, the diurnal coexpression networks are a dominant feature of daytime transcriptomes in the mouse cortex. We next employed the striatal coexpression modules to decipher the striatal transcriptomic signatures from Huntington’s disease models and heterozygous null mice for 52 genes, uncovering ...
I saved examples of lessons andexercises anywhere I found them: from textbooks, websites, and USB drivespassed around by other teachers. I mixed and matched English phrases,expressions, and slang into word games to keep my energetic third gradersengaged. I taught the older students the basics ...
and it can contemplate the vastness of interstellar space. It can contemplate the meaning of infinity and it can contemplate itself contemplating on the meaning of infinity. And this peculiar recursive quality that we call self-awareness, which I think is the holy grail of neuroscience, of...
Self-talk can improve cognitive performance, but the underlying mechanism of such improvement has not been investigated. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of self-talks on functional connectivity associated with cognitive performance. We used the
Scientists consider it the "hard problem" because it seems an impossible task to understand why we feel a subjective sense of self and how it arises in the brain. Venturing into the elementary physics of life, Mark Solms has now arrived at an astonishing answer. In his book "The Hidden ...
