PDF-(BOOS)-The Encultured Brain: An Introduction to Neuroanthropology (The MIT Press)

Basic concepts and case studies from an emerging field that investigates human capacities and pathologies at the intersection of brain and cultureThe brain and the nervous system are our most cultural organs Our nervous system is especially immature at birth our brain disproportionately small in relation to its adult size and open to cultural sculpting at multiple levels Recognizing this the new field of neuroanthropology places the brain at the center of discussions about human nature and culture Anthropology offers brain science more robust accounts of enculturation to explain observable difference in brain function neuroscience offers anthropology evidence of neuroplasticitys role in social and cultural dynamics This book provides a foundational text for neuroanthropology offering basic concepts and case studies at the intersection of brain and cultureAfter an overview of the field and background information on recent research in biology a series of case studies demonstrate neuroanthropology in practice Contributors first focus on capabilities and skillsincluding memory in medical practice skill acquisition in martial arts and the role of humor in coping with breast cancer treatment and recoverythen report on problems and pathologies that range from posttraumatic stress disorder among veterans to smoking as a part of college social lifeContributorsMauro C Balieiro Kathryn Bouskill Rachel S Brezis Benjamin Campbell Greg Downey Jos Ernesto dos Santos William W Dressler Erin P Finley Agustn Fuentes M Cameron Hay Daniel H Lende Katherine C MacKinnon Katja Pettinen Peter G Stromberg.

Without these chemicals, your brain starts to malfunction in ways that will qualify you for one or more traditional psychiatric disorders. What is even worse is your body will start to store extra fat regardless of your caloric intake. If you receive standard treatments for these disorders, you will get worse over time rather than better. The solution is to diagnose your own CARB syndrome and arrange for your own effective treatment as outlined in this book. CARB syndrome is preventable, reversible and treatable so please don\'t waste any more time waiting for the experts to fix you. How hormonal signals in one small structure of the brain--the hypothalamus--govern our physiology and behavior.As human beings, we prefer to think of ourselves as reasonable. But how much of what we do is really governed by reason? In this book, Gareth Leng considers the extent to which one small structure of the neuroendocrine brain--the hypothalamus--influences what we do, how we love, and who we are.The hypothalamus contains a large variety of neurons. These communicate not only through neurotransmitters, but also through peptide signals that act as hormones within the brain. While neurotransmitter signals tend to be ephemeral and confined by anatomical connectivity, the hormone signals that hypothalamic neurons generate are potent, wide-reaching, and long-lasting. Leng explores the evolutionary origins of these remarkable neurons, and where the receptors for their hormone signals are found in the brain. By asking how the hypothalamic neurons and their receptors are regulated, he explores how the hypothalamus links our passions with our reason. The Heart of the Brain shows in an accessible way how this very small structure is very much at the heart of what makes us human. The definitive guide to keeping your brain healthy for a long and lucid life, by one of the world’s leading scientists in the field of brain health and ageing.The brain is our most vital and complex organ. It controls and coordinates our actions, thoughts and interactions with the world around us. It is the source of personality, of our sense of self, and it shapes every aspect of our human experience.Yet most of us know precious little about how our brains actually work, or what we can do to optimise their performance. Whilst cognitive decline is the biggest long-term health worry for many of us, practical knowledge of how to look after our brain is thin on the ground.Combining the latest scientific research with insightful storytelling and practical advice, Brain Power reveals everything you need to know about how your brain functions, and what you can do to keep it in peak condition. In this ground-breaking new book, leading expert Professor James Goodwin explains how simple strategies like exercise, diet, social life and sleep can transform your brain health paradigm, and shows how you can keep your brain youthful and stay sharp across your life.
