If it is important for thought to be capable of changing both thinker and world, then critical thinking is important; for in its critical vocation, thought calls into question our assumptions about what is possible (with respect to the world, ourselves, our relations with others, etc.) and t...
It is important to emphasize that biological explanations will not become equivalent to exculpation. Instead, the goal of explanation is to introduce rational sentencing and the opportunity for customized rehabilitation. This approach is likely to show more utility and less cost than incarceration. The...
How lowered osmolality strengthens spontaneous and evoked excitatory synaptic transmission in neocortex is not yet clear. However, it may be an important ... AS Rosen,RD Andrew - 《Neuroscience》 被引量: 129发表: 1990年 Creative innovation: possible brain mechanisms. These connections might selective...
The Frontal lobe is located at the front of the brain, at the front of each cerebral hemisphere and in front of the parietal lobe. It is considered the most important lobe due to its functions and because it takes up one-third of the total brain. In other species its volume is inferior...
For this reason, I naturally gravitated toward both Economics and Neuroscience— two disciplines that explore complex systems, and reify the seeming randomness that governs their operations. I also find Economics an honest, rather than dismal, science. A question is painstakingly framed. Objectivity ...
Pretending to not understand the function of the chip, the researchers attempted the common techniques of neuroscience: looking at the connectomics (the wiring diagram of the chip); performing “lesions” on the transistors to mimic studies wherein a part of the brain is damaged; analyzing the ...
When you look at traditional offices and work practices from the perspective of neuroscience, it is clear that they are not conducive to optimal creativity. Constant distractions from colleagues and technology, lack of time and space to think and rest, and a culture that expects you to sit in...

Another important region for social homeostasis is thehippocampus—the brain's learning and memory center. Successful social circles require you to learn social behaviors—such asselflessness and cooperation—and recognize friends from foes. But your brain stores tremendous amounts of information and mu...
Surprisingly, the single most important nonverbal component is breathing. Neuroscience indicates high, shallow breathing releases “fight” chemicals with every inhalation. How much of communication is nonverbal? About 80-90 percent of communication is nonverbal. Research shows that people respond much ...
