Quotes About Brain

you are a consciousness using a body and a brain to express different levels of mind.

thoughts are the vocabulary of the brain and feelings are the vocabulary of the body,

Las lesiones cerebrales pueden arruinarnos la vida. El alcohol no es sano, lo demuestran las lesiones graves que se aprecian en las imágenes de SPECT. Algunos medicamentos que solemos tomar, como los ansiolíticos comunes, no son buenos para el cerebro. Enfermedades como el Alzheimer empiezan en el cerebro décadas antes de manifestarse los síntomas.

It's your frontal lobe that changes your mind—that is, it makes the brain work in different sequences, patterns, and combinations.

Porque los pensamientos son el lenguaje del cerebro, y los sentimientos el lenguaje del cuerpo.

our identity wants to return to the feelings of the familiar, and our body is trying to influence our brain to return to a recognizable state of being, so that the body can recalibrate itself with past feelings.

DANIEL G. AMEN, M. D., autor de Cambia tu cerebro, cambia tu vida

And your personal reality and your biology—your brain circuitry, your internal chemistry, your genetic expression, and ultimately your health—should change as a result of this new personality, this new state of being. And it all seems to start with a thought.

So when we repeat a thought or an experience enough times, our brain cells make not only stronger connections between each other (which affects our physiological functions), but also a greater number of total connections (which affects the physical structure of the body). The brain becomes more enriched microscopically.

So as soon as you think a new thought, you become changed—neurologically, chemically, and genetically. In fact, you can gain thousands of new connections in a matter of seconds from novel learning, new ways of thinking, and fresh experiences. This means that by thought alone, you can personally activate new genes right away. It happens just by changing your mind; it's mind over matter.

Even the emotional centers are cooled off in the limbic brain. As a result, what we are thinking about or focusing on will become more real to us than the external world. As those neural networks are shut off by the frontal lobe, we no longer process any level of mind or awareness in that part of the brain and we, therefore, are no longer conscious of the body, the environment, and even time.

los circuitos del cerebro se reorganizan para reflejar nuestros objetivos. Podemos hacer que nuestros pensamientos sean tan reales que el cerebro cambia como si la situación ya fuera una realidad física.

Feelings and emotions are normally the end products of experiences, but can you combine a clear intention with an emotion that begins to give the body a sampling of the future experience before it's been made manifest? When you're truly focused on an intention for some future outcome, if you can make inner thought more real than the outer environment during the process, the brain won't know the difference between the two.

Beta is our everyday waking state. When we're in beta, the thinking brain, or neocortex, is processing all of the incoming sensory data and creating meaning between our outer and inner worlds.

If the placebo effect is a function of how a thought can change physiology—we could call it mind over matter—then perhaps we should examine our thoughts and how they interact with our brains and our bodies.

When you place all your attention and energy on the outer world and you keep reacting to the same conditions in the same way—in a state of chronic stress, which causes the brain to be in a constant state of arousal—your inner world becomes imbalanced and your brain begins to work inefficiently. And then you become less effective in creating anything at all. In other words, you become a victim of your life instead of the creator of your life.

Every time you have a thought, in addition to making neurotransmitters, your brain also makes another chemical—a small protein called a neuropeptide that sends a message to your body. Your body then reacts by having a feeling. The brain notices that the body is having a feeling, so the brain generates another thought matched exactly to that feeling that will produce more of the same chemical messages that allow you to think the way you were just feeling.

By the time you reach your mid-30s, your brain has organized itself into a very finite signature of automatic programs—and that fixed pattern is called your identity. Think

Boxing is the only sport you can get your brain shook, your money took and your name in the undertaker book.

Because the neocortex (the thinking brain) is capable of dishonesty, it is not a good source of reliable or accurate information (Ost, 2006, 259

Good books don't make you think, because the author has already done all of the thinking for you, but a terrible book can really give your brain a workout, because you spend so much time wondering what incredibly dumb thing the author will say next.

Inside his head, a brain cell used a stepladder to find a high-shelved thought.
