Brain Changers - David P. Sortino - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Brain Changers: The Most Important Advances in Children’s Learning and Intelligence represents my second book of The Brain Smart Trilogy. This book presents an in-depth look at successful learning techniques and current brain research about how to increase children’s learning potential at all age levels. In my opinion, the words brain changing supports an often-ignored, yet obvious concept that children learn best when they are interested or passionate about learning. Our brain’s limbic system knows this when it forms emotional connections or attachment (bonding) to learning. For example, a major area of our brain associated with the brain changing concept is called the hippocampus. In fact, the hippocampus is the only part of your child’s learning brain where neurons regenerate or make more neurons. The medical world connects this positive brain changing experience and calls it brain plasticity or the brain’s ability to modify its connections or rewire itself. Studies show that without this ability, any brain, not just the human brain, would be unable to develop from infancy to adulthood. In my opinion, this book’s information provides readers with up-to-date brain research and proven learning techniques to support my brain changing thesis for all individuals interested in helping children reach high levels of learning.

The Autoimmune Brain - David S. Younger - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Autoimmune Brain - David S. Younger - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

There are millions of people who experience issues related to brain health--depression, attention issues, anxiety, forgetfulness, fatigue, and even chronic pain--yet can’t figure out what’s causing their problems and can’t find any relief. They may have seen a myriad of doctors, many of whom do not take their complaints seriously, or worse, turn to the easy, albeit inappropriate fix of antidepressants or antianxiety medications. Traditional medications, supplements, or other therapies haven’t worked. No matter what their age—from children to teens to seniors--these people and their loved ones are frustrated, scared, and confused by their continued poor health. Countless others display more severe psychiatric symptoms that seem to come out of nowhere: obsessive-compulsive behaviors, suicidal thoughts, tics, and mood swings reminiscent of bipolar disorder. Sometimes, the person affected is the only one that notices a change to the way they think or feel, and they suffer in silence. Or, they reach out to try to get help, and are all too frequently misdiagnosed. Now, David Younger, a world-renowned physician, board-certified in Internal Medicine, Neurology and Psychiatry, with postdoctoral training in public health and epidemiology, can finally provide relief to these patients and their families. His diagnostic techniques and treatment protocols will help readers identify the true cause of their symptoms and put them on a clear path to healing so they no longer feel crazy, out of control, forgetful, and exhausted.THE AUTOIMMUNE BRAIN connects common brain health symptoms to the changes in the immune system, and particularly bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections. In this book, Younger will explain his groundbreaking research and adds a new component: how traumatic stress (whether physical or emotional) and genetics affects this same triad as inextricable factors in initiating disease and brain health symptoms. In fact, a change in personality, behavior, coping style, and one’s emotional state may be the first clue that there is a health problem brewing somewhere else in the body. Readers will find new answers to troubling conditions, including:· Alzheimer’s disease· Anxiety· Arthritis· Autism· Bacterial infections· Bipolar Disorder· Cancer· Celiac disease and gluten intolerances· Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (now referred to as Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease)· Chronic Pain· Dementia· Depression· Endocrine Disorders· Lyme disease and co-infections· Obsessive Compulsive Disorder· Porphyria· Post-Traumatic Stress DisorderA 5-Step Plan for Optimal Brain and Body HealthYounger has focused his career on neuroimmunology--the intersection of neurology and how the immune system affects the brain. He was among the first to bring to the nation’s awareness the triad of infection, immunity, and inflammation, abbreviated as “I-Cubed,” and known more commonly by physicians as post-infectious autoimmunity. More importantly, Younger has developed cutting edge treatment protocols centered on immune modulatory therapy (known as IVIg) that have been adopted by doctors across the country and will be featured in this book. His unique treatment plan has become the most widely employed immune modulating agent for autoimmune neurological disorders.Including the most recent research and illuminating patient anecdotes, this new book highlights an early detection and treatment model that is based on a simple 5-step plan that can help readers of all ages reverse their brain health issues as well as their physical health by resetting the immune system. This will be the first book to explain to a lay audience in clear and accessible language, how seemingly unrelated diseases are linked to a common cause-- autoimmunity--and can be treated by following a singular immune-enhancing program that addresses brain health. While our genetic blueprint presumably maps an unchangeable path to illnesses, epigenetics shows that the genes for a variety of inflammatory autoimmune and neurodegenerative disorders may be silenced by following this holistic approach. Much like high blood pressure, obesity, and other persistent illnesses, autoimmunity needs to be managed daily with an individualized program that works. This book will present Younger’s new paradigm for identifying illness and resetting the immune system,summarized by the acronym TAPES:· Test for the most likely autoimmune disturbance right at home, and discover how a specific autoimmune response may be affecting brain health· Apply immune modulating therapies (under a doctor’s care) that will address both the immune response and changes to brain health· Participate in the most effective behavioral/therapeutic options to reduce stress and reverse fatigue, anxiety, depression, and memory loss· Eat & Exercise to restore brain health, alleviate pain, and enhance the immune system· Survey your home for chemical exposures, and remove mold, heavy metals, and other allergens that can stand in the

The Trickster Brain - David Williams - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Trickster Brain - David Williams - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Until recently, scientific and literary cultures have existed side-by-side but most often in parallel universes, without connection. The Trickster Brain: Neuroscience, Evolution, and Nature by David Williams addresses the premise that humans are a biological species stemming from the long process of evolution, and that we do exhibit a universal human nature, given to us through our genes. From this perspective, literature is shown to be a product of our biological selves. By exploring central ideas in neuroscience, evolutionary biology, linguistics, music, philosophy, ethics, religion, and history, Williams shows that it is the circuitry of the brain’s hard-wired dispositions that continually create similar tales around the world: “archetypal” stories reflecting ancient tensions that arose from our evolutionary past and the very construction of our brains. The book asserts that to truly understand literature, one must look at the biological creature creating it. By using the lens of science to examine literature, we can see how stories reveal universal aspects of the biological mind. The Trickster character is particularly instructive as an archetypal character who embodies a raft of human traits and concerns, for Trickster is often god, devil, musical, sexual, silver tongued, animal, and human at once, treading upon the moral dictates of culture. Williams brings together science and the humanities, demonstrating a critical way of approaching literature that incorporates scientific thought.

Brain Gains: So, You Want to Be Your Child’s Learning Coach represents the final link to the first two books of the Brain Smart Trilogy. This third book recognizes the learning challenges children face each day in learning environments defined by mandated curriculums, mandated testing and shortened school years. For example, from kindergarten through high school your child will be responsible for assimilating and accommodating different school curriculums regardless that these mandated curriculums often do not take into account the many cognitive and emotional levels of each student. That is, problems can develop for those children who are not academically at the curriculum’s grade level due to multiple challenges and distractions, such as adapting to the peer group, family dynamics or disharmony (divorce, child abuse etc.), delayed physiological social development and cognitive delays that could cause a life time of learning difficulties. Finally, a major strength of this book is that it offers parents and teachers the opportunity to incorporate learning techniques used by myself and other successful learning coaches and learning specialists that readers can employ for specific student learning challenges. Most importantly, parents and teachers will not only have hands-on learning techniques but their students and/or child will receive knowledge catered to their learning needs they can employ for future learning challenges.

The Social Brain - Sal Restivo - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Social Brain - Sal Restivo - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Social Brain: Sociological Foundations introduces the concept of the social brain, including a detailed conceptual model of the social brain networked in the world. The idea that our brains are social has its roots in nineteenth-century social thought and primate research initiated in the 1950s. It was introduced into the neuroscience literature in 1990 as a challenge to the traditional view of the isolated bio-medical brain, a view that still dominates the scientific, media, and public imaginations. Sal Restivo’s foundational thesis is that humans arrive on the evolutionary stage always, already, and everywhere social. We have social selves, social brains, and social genes. He argues the “I” is a grammatical illusion reflecting the myth of individualism. The unique feature of this book is the amount of space devoted to constructing the sociological scaffolding needed to understand what the author means by the social self, the social mind, and the social brain. The approach leads to new ways of thinking about socialization, consciousness, and creativity as networked phenomena. The result is a novel way of integrating the social self, the biological self, and the neurological self and erasing the classical boundaries between brain, mind, and body.

Brain-Robbers - Frances R. Frankenburg Md - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

A psychiatrist examines how the world''s four most important mind-altering substances— alcohol, cocaine, nicotine, and opiates—have played a significant role throughout human history, and explains how these powerful drugs affect the brain and cause addiction.Alcohol, cocaine, nicotine, and opiates have spurred some of the greatest human pleasure and pain across time. Providing information that ranges as widely as from ancient Egypt to modern times, this book comprehensively addresses the good, the bad, and the very ugliest aspects of these substances, examining their history, their effects on the brain and body, and on civilization itself. Frances R. Frankenburg, MD, employs accessible, everyday language to explain the neurology of addiction and describe how these "brain-robbing" substances work to hijack the brain''s pleasure systems to create powerful addictions. The author also provides perspective into the intertwined, inescapable, and often uneasy relationship between these substances and human culture, economics, and politics—for example, how individuals become physically or psychologically addicted to alcohol, cocaine, nicotine, and opiates, while governments become financially "addicted" to the revenue, such as taxes, that can be collected from the sale and use of these substances.

Picturing China in the American Press - David D. Perlmutter - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Picturing China in the American Press juxtaposes what the ordinary American news reader was shown visually inTime Magazine between 1949 and 1973 with contemporary perspectives on the behind-the-scenes history of the period. Time Magazine is an especially fruitful source for such a visual-historical contrast and comparison because it was China-centric, founded and run by Henry Luce, a man who loved China and was commensurably obsessed with winning China to democracy and Western influence. Picturing China examines in detail major events (the Korean War and Nixon''s trip to China), less considerable occurrences (shellings of Straits islands and diplomatic flaps), great personages (Chairman Mao and Henry Kissinger), and the common people and common life of China as seen through the lenses and described by the pens of American reporters, artists, photographers, and editors. Picturing China in the American Press is of great interest to both scholars of communications, Chinese history, China Studies, and journalists.
