Rethinking the Brain - Dr Jennifer Barnett - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

But the good news is that we still seem to generally muddle along and our brain is able to adapt in extraordinary ways when things going wrong.Alexis Willett and Jennifer Barnett shed light on what the human brain can do - in both optimal and suboptimal conditions - and consider what it can manage without. Through fascinating facts and figures, case studies and hypothetical scenarios, expert interviews and scientific principles, they take us on a journey from the ancient mists of time to the far reaches of the future, via different species and lands.Is brain training the key to healthy ageing? Do women really experience ''baby brain''? Is our brain at its evolutionary peak or do we have an even more brilliant future to look forward to? We discover the answers to these questions and more.

An Introduction to Coping with Brain Injury - Nigel S. King - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

An Introduction to Coping with Brain Injury - Nigel S. King - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Just the facts for coping with the after-effects of a brain injury Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) usually refers to people who have suffered a head injury or stroke but also includes those who have had brain tumours, an anoxic injury (where the brain has been starved of oxygen) or brain illnesses like encephalitis and meningitis. After an ABI, the brain undergoes a very slow healing process before improvements slow down and eventually plateau. This is different to other forms of brain conditions where the journey is more of a deteriorating one over time. ABI is commonly called 'a hidden disability' as it can easily be missed or misunderstood by others. Also it can significantly affect those close to the person and therefore it is frequently called 'a family affair' too. As the issues are often hidden, complicated and affect patients and families alike, this book can act as a roadmap to help you and your loved ones navigate through the complex and often unexpected challenges that can arise following a brain injury, using: - Cognitive rehabilitation approaches to understand and manage changes in our thinking abilities - Cognitive behavioural approaches to address ways in which our thoughts, feelings, actions and physical reactions relate to each other

The Mammoth Book of Fun Brain-Training - Dr Gareth Moore - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

The Mammoth Book of Fun Brain-Training - Dr Gareth Moore - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

New from the bestselling Dr Gareth Moore, in full colour throughout, the truly fun way to a fitter brain. The ebook edition has been specially modified to make all the puzzles work on screen.Traditional brain-training programmes tend to include a range of tasks which few of us would classify as ''fun'', such as completing sheets of maths equations or remembering long lists of objects. Whilst these can certainly help to improve brain function, most of us would avoid such exercises so would not benefit from them. The Mammoth Book of Fun Brain-Training changes all that with an approach centred on fun, which nevertheless improves memory, logic and reasoning, visual and spatial awareness, word and language skills and maths skills. It contains nothing which smacks of ''school work''. Instead there are ''challenge'' puzzles, often with a twist, which are both more entertaining and more effective from a brain-training point of view in that they call on multiple skills concurrently.

The Believing Brain - Michael Shermer - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

The Believing Brain - Michael Shermer - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Synthesizing thirty years of research, psychologist and science historian, Michael Shermer upends the traditional thinking about how humans form beliefs about the world. Simply put, beliefs come first and explanations for beliefs follow . The brain, Shermer argues, is a belief engine. Using sensory data that flow in through the senses, the brain naturally looks for and finds patterns - and then infuses those patterns with meaning, forming beliefs. Once beliefs are formed, our brains subconsciously seek out confirmatory evidence in support of those beliefs, which accelerates the process of reinforcing them, and round and round the process goes in a positive-feedback loop.In The Believing Brain , Shermer provides countless real-world examples of how this process operates, from politics, economics, and religion to conspiracy theories, the supernatural, and the paranormal. Ultimately, he demonstrates why science is the best tool ever devised to determine whether or not our belief matches reality.

Siddhartha's Brain - James Kingsland - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Siddhartha's Brain - James Kingsland - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

WINNER OF THE GOLD PRIZE FOR RELIGION / SPIRITUALITY OF EASTERN THOUGHT AT THE 2016 NAUTILUS BOOK AWARDS. Can meditation and mindfulness exercise make us sharper, smarter, healthier, happier? In Siddhartha''s Brain , James Kingsland reveals that a complete scientific theory of how these practices work is now within our grasp and may be the key to treating a wide range of afflictions of the human mind. Some twenty-five centuries ago, an Indian sage called Siddhartha Gautama - the man who would become known as the Buddha - developed a programme for improving mental well-being which has been passed down to us by generations of monks and nuns. Today, secular mindfulness courses are proving their worth for tackling many of the problems associated with the demands of our frenetic, technology-driven modern world.Research has shown that mindfulness can be used to treat stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, hypertension and drug addiction, as well as improving concentration, empathy, emotion regulation and the quality of interpersonal relationships. There have even been hints that it could enhance immune function, slow cellular ageing and help keep dementia at bay. Taking us on a journey back to the time of the Buddha to track changes in his brain as he travels the path leading to enlightenment, Siddhartha''s Brain explains how meditation and mindfulness transform the human mind.

The Social Brain - Richard Crisp - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

The Social Brain - Richard Crisp - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Is conflict caused by an inherently hostile human nature? Are efforts to promote peaceful co-existence fated to fail? Is the story of human history destined to play out a clash of civilizations? These are the questions framing contemporary debate over diversity, immigration and multiculturalism. The Social Brain provides an entirely new psychological perspective on this debate. It argues that diversity is critical to our very survival as a species; that contact with different cultures was, and is, the essential element that fuels our creativity, innovation and growth. It asserts that diversity was the key to our intellectual evolution and will be integral to helping us tackle the most pressing social, political and economic concerns of our time. The Social Brain ties the origins of the modern mind to the evolution of human society, and provides an entirely new insight into how we can harness the ingenuity and invention that reside within us all.

A User's Guide To The Brain - Dr. John J. Ratey - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

A User's Guide To The Brain - Dr. John J. Ratey - Bog - Little, Brown Book Group - Plusbog.dk

Bringing order and relevance to the cascade of recent brain findings, Dr John Ratey explains the brain''s most important systems, the role they play in determining how we interact with the world and ways in which we can influence their operations for the better. Throughout, he illustrates his points with vivid and often surprising examples drawn from his own practice, research and everyday life. Ratey answers such compelling questions as: What does it mean to be linguistically ambidextrous? How does a mother''s cradling of her child on her left shoulder relate to the development of language skills? Why does listening to music while doing homework improve accuracy? Why do people like spicy foods? He also analyses the ways in which things can go wrong, detailing causes and treatments for diseases such as autism, Parkinson''s and Alzheimer''s, as well as numerous neurological disorders. As Dr. Ratey demonstrates throughout the book, the brain is astonishingly flexible, able to be retrained and reprogrammed. Like a muscle, it responds to use, adapting to new demands and conditions, allowing, as the title of the book suggests, the guidance of the user.
