World-leading scientist Dr. Daphna Shohamy studies memories and following over 20 years of expert research in neuroscience and psychology, presents an entirely new understanding of the role of memory, arguing that its primary purpose isn’t to accurately remember the past, but rather to help us predict the future, shape behaviour, and influence the people we become. In this ground-breaking book, Shohamy explores how memory works, analyses the science of decision-making and reveals how understanding memory can shed light on a myriad of societal issues.

Es posible cambiar, en cualquier momento de la vida, nuestras ideas más arraigadas, nuestra forma de pensar y también nuestra experiencia emocional. Para lograrlo es suficiente una herramienta sencilla y extremadamente efectiva en la transformación de nuestro cerebro: el buen uso de la conversación.

Die Psychologie-Professorin Woo-kyoung Ahn ist ein Phänomen: Ihre Vorlesung an der Yale University über das Denken ist eine der meistbesuchten, inzwischen müssen sie in den größten Hörsälen der Universität stattfinden. Warum? Weil ihre Ansätze und Thesen, wie gutes Denken funktioniert und sinnvolle Entscheidungen getroffen werden können, den Studierenden ganz konkret weiterhelfen, weil sie sich auf den Alltag jedes Einzelnen beziehen und in ihrer Klarheit überzeugen.

We all know we tell stories about ourselves. But as psychiatrist and neuroscientist Gregory Berns argues in The Self Delusion, we don’t just tell stories; we are the stories. Our self-identities are fleeting phenomena, continually reborn as our conscious minds receive, filter, or act on incoming information from the world and our memories.

Ungewöhnliche Einblicke in den Alltag der Neuro-Chirurgie - und in das menschliche Gehirn: Ein weltweit renommierter Gehirn-Chirurg erzählt von außergewöhnlichen Fällen und seinem Alltag im Operations-Saal. Das faszinierende Sachbuch zum Thema Gehirn-Chirurgie und Neuro-Wissenschaft. Prof. Dr. Peter Vajkoczy ist Direktor der Klinik für Neuro-Chirurgie an der Berliner Charité. Bis zu hundert Patienten aus aller Welt betreut er auf seinen drei Stationen und führt mit seinem Team bis zu fünf, sechs Operationen pro Tag durch – meist geht es um Schlaganfälle, Gehirntumore, Bypässe und Störungen an der Wirbelsäule.

Despite being unable to play an instrument, Susan Rogers became an extraordinarily successful record producer—and certainly one of the most successful women record producers in history—because of her ability to listen. (She was an engineer on Prince's "When Doves Cry", which inspired the title of the book.) This Is What It Sounds Like distils a lifetime's expertise as a producer and an award-winning professor with a PhD in cognitive neuroscience, to present a new theory of listening for everyday music fans.

A quarter of a century after her memoir, Thinking in Pictures, forever changed how the world understood autism, Temple Grandin—the “anthropologist from Mars,” as Oliver Sacks dubbed her—transforms our awareness of the different ways our brains are wired. Do you have a keen sense of direction, a love of puzzles, the ability to assemble IKEA furniture without crying? You are likely a visual thinker.

The brain is the most complex and magnificent organ of the human body represented by a mesh of biology, genetics, and temperament. Composed of 100 billion neurons, each neuron connected to 10,000 other neurons. Our brains are filled with mystery and revelations, processing a constant stream of sensory data. Our brain controls awareness of the environment, including voluntary and involuntary movement. It looks forward to life with optimism and fervent aspirations. It can promote success or demise, depending on how and what it thinks.

Sebbene la principale preoccupazione relativa al COVID-19 riguardasse le sue conseguenze, soprattutto in termini di problemi respiratori, i progressi nella conoscenza di questa malattia hanno permesso di capire come i suoi effetti si estendono oltre i polmoni, e possono raggiungere ed influenzare il sistema nervoso. Questo testo affronta le conseguenze che il COVID-19 ha nel cervello, da una doppia prospettiva.

According to the WHO, around 15 to 20 percent of the population is neurodivergent. In abnormal psychology, neurodiversity is characterized by an individual with variation in basic brain functioning and cognition, for instance, in social situations, learning, etc. This book uses dialectical behavior therapy, which deals with individuals with intense reactions to emotions. It helps you cope with difficult emotions and makes your life easier. This DBT manual will rejuvenate your life by making you happier and less prone to anxiety and will help you take charge of your neurodiversity!

Your brain is selfish, demanding, and devious. But it doesn't have to be this way. Override introduces a new two-pronged theory of personality: serotonin types and dopamine types. Based on today's breakthrough science into neurotransmitters—the chemicals that transmit signals through our nervous system—Override shows listeners how to recognize their own chemical imbalances, and what to do about them. With this book, nobody is doomed to remain trapped by their natural tendencies!

La psicología positiva se ocupa del estudio científico del vivir bien, así como de los factores que permiten el desarrollo óptimo del ser humano en comunidad. El libro nos muestra las posibilidades que esta ciencia brinda a la promoción de las virtudes y fortalezas humanas, más allá del estudio de los problemas y las patologías.

Drawing on humorous examples, true stories, and playful analogies, Connection Mode shows how our nervous system—including a surprisingly common missed opportunity to finish our lower brain development—often interferes with our lives in ways we don’t even realize. Connection Mode distills decades of compelling information from the Brain Highways program, which has guided 20,000 kids and adults to improve their lives by changing their brain and nervous system. The book offers a simple, time-tested trifecta approach for restoring our nervous system’s flexibility.

Este es un libro con tres títulos, que son: Dopamina: ¿Cuál es la definición de dopamina? ¿Qué hace y de qué manera? Este tipo de preguntas han provocado debates en neurociencia durante mucho tiempo. Neurociencia: El estudio de la anatomía y el funcionamiento del sistema nervioso y el cerebro se conoce como neurociencia. Mejora de la memoria: La capacidad del cerebro para codificar, almacenar y recordar información se conoce como memoria. La experiencia sirve como hoja de ruta para acciones futuras.

La memoria incluye tanto hechos recordados conscientemente como detalles experimentados, así como conocimientos profundamente arraigados que surgen sin pensar o incluso darse cuenta. Desde los recuerdos vívidos de la memoria episódica hasta el conocimiento práctico de la memoria procedimental, cada tipo de memoria tiene un propósito específico. Sin embargo, existen similitudes en la forma en que funciona la memoria en general, y ciertas partes del cerebro, como el hipocampo, son cruciales para diferentes tipos de memoria.

Unsere globalisierte und digitalisierte Welt mit ihren trüben Zukunftsaussichten verunsichert viele. Entsprechend übermächtig ist das Bedürfnis nach wegweisenden Informationen. Doch das Informationszeitalter für alle hat sich in ein Zeitalter der allgemeinen Verwirrung verwandelt. Der Wettbewerb der Ideen, den alle freiheitlichen Demokratien für ihre Weiterentwicklung brauchen, ist zum Marktplatz für die Verbreiter von Angst, Wut und Empörung geworden. Unsere Gehirne sind mit einer konstruktiven Verarbeitung der täglichen Flut von Botschaften völlig überfordert.

Human behavior is lopsided. When cradling a newborn child, most of us cradle the infant to the left. When posing for a portrait, we tend to put our left cheek forward. When kissing a lover, we tend to tilt our head to the right. Why is our behavior so lopsided and what does this teach us about our brains? How have humans always used this information to make our images more attractive and impactful? Can knowing how left-brain right-brain differences shape our opinions, tendencies, and attitudes help us make better choices in art, architecture, advertising, or even athletics?

El estudio de la anatomía y el funcionamiento del sistema nervioso y el cerebro se conoce como neurociencia. Para mapear el cerebro de manera mecánica, los neurocientíficos recurren a la biología celular y molecular, la anatomía y la fisiología, el comportamiento y la cognición humanos, y otros campos. Cada neurona, o célula cerebral, en un ser humano adulto tiene aproximadamente 100 mil millones de conexiones con otras neuronas. Todo aprendizaje se basa en la capacidad del cerebro para construir nuevos circuitos y conexiones neuronales, o neuroplasticidad.
