Exciting new research into psilocybin suggests that it could hold the key to treating major depression. Psilocybin desynchronizes key brain networks, including the default mode network, which could explain how it achieves its therapeutic effects. The network desynchronization persisted for weeks after treatment but resolved after six months. This breakthrough research offers hope for those suffering from depression. #PsilocybinResearch #DepressionTreatment #BrainScience

~30min video overview of current understanding of how memory is encoded in the brain at the hardware level.
CW: This research relies heavily on animal testing, it's referenced quite a bit in dry terms.

I guess it depends upon whether or not you believe a person's #identity and/or #personality are/is dynamic or fixed. From a #scientific POV, I'd argue the former. If we look at #neuroplasticity and how #learning and #change work in the #brain, etc. I think all people have the ability to learn from their mistakes and grow. #neuroscience #science #psychology #brainscience #writing

One benefit of a "dump file" like this is that, due to the way the executive forebrain works, we tend to keep immediate concerns and to-do's at the forefront of our minds until we offload them elsewhere. So, it can be reassuring to know that the words are still there, even though we won't be using them.😄 #writingtips #neuroscience #brainscience

The Oatmeal (Matthew Inman) asks “Why would providing MORE evidence make someone LESS likely to believe in an idea?” He then explains the ‘Backfire Effect’ (a well-documented psychological behavior) in a sweet little comic strip, using research from USC’s Brain and Creativity Institute.

Hypothesis: maybe these smokers are seeking to calm, not anxiety, but withdrawal symptoms?

Dig out that #language software on your shelf collecting dust and get #bilingual.
Study shows #Bilingual brains are more resilient to #dementia caused by #Alzheimers, can delay onset by an average of 5 years.
