Quotes About Neuroscience

We started all this research way back in the early 1990s, developing a technique that allows us to record the electrical signals produced by neurons simultaneously.

Cognitive neuroscience is entering an exciting era in which new technologies and ideas are making it possible to study the neural basis of cognition, perception, memory and emotion at the level of networks of interacting neurons, the level at which we believe many of the important operations of the brain take place.

The final frontier of the digital technology is integrating into your own brain.

Juvenile justice is probably the area that's most ripe for reform, in the nice liberal sense of the word, simply because there's no getting around the fact that a teenage brain is not an adult brain.

The way we have been thinking about brain science is that people show you pretty pictures, pretty images, and you think that that tells you something about how they behave. It doesn't.

The thing you realize when you get into studying neuroscience, even a little bit, is that everything is connected to everything else. So it's as if the brain is trying to use everything at its disposal - what it is seeing, what it is hearing, what is the temperature, past experience.

neurotransmitters, a paramecium

On an incredibly simplistic level, you can think of depression as occurring when your cortex thinks an abstract thought and manages to convince the rest of the brain that this is as real as a physical stressor.

In other words, the default state is to trust, and what the amygdala does is learn vigilance and distrust.

the prefrontal cortex developed. This is the part of our brain responsible for higher thinking.

El neuromarketing se ocupa de comprender cómo funciona el cerebro, con independencia de la ciencia que utilicemos, empleando esa información para mejorar tanto nuestro marketing como nuestros productos.

In the present chapter, we tried to pinpoint the place in the brain where quantum action might be important to classical behaviour, and have apparently been driven to consider that it is through the cytoskeletal control of synaptic connections that this quantum/classical interface exerts its fundamental influence on the brain's behaviour.

Psychologists figured that the memory center was located in the left brain, and the imagination engine in the right brain. Therefore people unconsciously glanced to the left when they were remembering things, and to the right when they were making stuff up. When

Deep within our brains, as in theirs, our shadowy unconscious mind is continuously applying the lessons of our past experience to predict the consequences of our current circumstances. In fact, one way to characterize a brain is as a prediction machine.

With regard to both the physical and the social world, one of the main lessons of neuroscience is that our perception of reality is something we actively construct, not a passive documentation of objective events.

Another recent work, an academic article that described research on a single type of nerve cell in the hypothalamus, was over one hundred pages long and cited seven hundred intricate experiments.

Our brains are not simply recording a taste or other experience, they are creating it.

except fMRI maps the activity of the brain's different structures by detecting the blood flow that waxes and wanes, just slightly, as that activity varies. In this way fMRI offers three-dimensional pictures of the working brain, inside and out, mapping, to a resolution of about a millimeter, the level of activity throughout the organ.

High Price: A Neuroscientist's Journey of Self-Discovery That Challenges Everything You Know About Drugs and Society.

The brain is the last and grandest biological frontier, the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe. It contains hundreds of billions of cells interlinked through trillions of connections. The brain boggles the mind." —James D. Watson, Nobel Laureate and co-discoverer of the structure of DNA.

could cite endless studies, but let me finish by quoting Nicholas Carr. His book, The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains, came out back in 2011.

Microtubules are the key ingredient for human consciousness, and are able to exhibit quantum effects. Even in the warm, wet, and noisy environment of the brain.

Cuando se da la unificación total y el campo neuronal deja de diferenciarse de la Lattice en su estado puro, desaparece el campo neuronal y lo que subsiste es la conciencia pura. En esta condición, el conocimiento, el conocido y el conocedor se vuelven uno y lo mismo, porque en el conocerse y comprenderse a uno mismo en ese estado se comprende y se conoce todo lo que existe.
