Vor einigen Jahren ging ich zu nächtlicher Stunde allein durch die Stadt nach Hause. Es ist nicht weit und die frische Luft tut gut, dachte ich mir. Das bereute ich allerdings, als ich plötzlich hinter mir Schritte hörte, die immer schneller auf mich zukamen. Ich drehte mich um und sah im Dunkeln einen Mann, der augenscheinlich die Verfolgung aufnahm. Mein Herz raste, ich zitterte und beschleunigte. Mir schossen allerhand Gedanken durch den Kopf: Muss ich mich verteidigen? Wohin kann ich fliehen? Zum Glück fand in einem der Häuser dort eine Party statt; ich klingelte und man ließ mich ein. Wer weiß, vielleicht hatte er es ja nur eilig. Aber ich bin froh, dass ich es nicht darauf ankommen lassen musste, seine wahren Absichten herauszufinden. Für solche bedrohlich wirkenden Situationen hat uns die Evolution mit einem überlebenswichtigen Alarmsystem ausgestattet: Der Puls rast, Adrenalin flutet den Körper, wir reagieren automatisiert mit Flucht, Erstarren oder Verteidigung – begleitet vom intensiven Gefühl der Furcht. Jahrzehntelang galt der Mandelkern, wissenschaftlich Amygdala, als das Hirnzentrum für Angst und Schrecken, als Ort, wo solche Empfindungen entstehen. Studien an Tieren und Menschen schienen das zu belegen. Aber selbst Joseph LeDoux, jener Forscher, der die Idee einst befeuerte, bemüht sich heute darum, diese Darstellung zu korrigieren. So erzeugt der Mandelkern zwar die körperliche Reaktion auf Bedrohung, aber für das Gefühl der Angst, das Bewusstwerden der Gefahr ist er nicht zuständig. Auch sah man in einer defekten Amygdala lange die Ursache für Psychopathie. Doch kann es so einfach sein, wo das Gehirn derart komplex ist, fragt unser Autor Jan Schwenkenbecher und geht ab S. 68 dem »Mythos Amygdala« nach. Der Fall des vermeintlichen Angstzentrums zeigt zudem: Mitunter gibt es in der Forschung die Tendenz, gewünschte oder erwartete Effekte zu berichten und fehlende Befunde zu ignorieren. Das kann dann dazu führen, dass sich solche fehlerhaften Vorstellungen festsetzen. Eine spannende Lektüre wünscht Anna Lorenzen, Redaktion Gehirn&Geist.

Here, leading neuroscientist Nancy Andreasen offers a state-of-the-art look at what we know about the human brain and the human genome--and shows how these two vast branches of knowledge are coming together in a boldly ambitious effort to conquer mental illness. Andreasen gives us an engaging and readable description of how it all works---from billions of neurons, to the tiny thalamus, to the moral monitor in our prefrontal cortex. She shows the progress made in mapping the human genome, whose 30,000 to 40,000 genes are almost all active in the brain. We read gripping stories of the people who develop mental illness, the friends and relatives who share their suffering, the physicians who treat them, and the scientists who study them so that better treatments can be found. Four major disorders are covered--schizophrenia, manic depression, anxiety disorders, and dementia--revealing what causes them and how they affect the mind and brain. Finally, the book shows how the powerful tools of genetics and neuroscience will be combined during the next decades to build healthier brains and minds. By revealing how combining genome mapping with brain mapping can unlock the mysteries of mental illness, Andreasen offers a remarkably fresh perspective on these devastating diseases.

Wissen Sie, was ich gerade fühle? Sicher nicht. Aber ich verrate Ihnen etwas: ich selbst oft auch nicht! Ist es Erleichterung über den gehaltenen Drucktermin oder Stolz auf die tollen Beiträge in diesem Heft – oder Vorfreude auf Verkaufszahlen und Feedback? Oder bewegt mich im Moment doch viel mehr das krän¬kelnde Kind oder der anstehende Urlaub? Wohl eine Mischung all diesen und anderen flüchtigen Gefühlen, die mein Denken und Handeln leiten, ohne dass ich es bemerke. Emotionen begleiten uns auf Schritt und Tritt. Auch wenn wir es nicht unbedingt mitbekom¬men und noch seltener bewusst darüber nachdenken, sind Vorfreude, schlechtes Gewissen oder nagende Ungewissheit das Salz in der Suppe unseres All¬tags. Ohne sie wüssten wir nicht, was gut und was schlecht, was zu tun oder zu lassen ist. Laut Moralpsychologen speisen sich solche Urteile meist aus emotionalen Reaktionen: Wir finden das gut und richtig, was sich aktuell gut für uns anfühlt – sei es, weil es Zugehörigkeit und vielleicht einen Sinn im Leben verspricht. Das bedeutet umgekehrt jedoch auch, dass wir negatives Empfinden dazu brauchen, uns neu zu adjus¬tieren. Wie wichtig es ist, selbst dem Zweifel und Unbeha¬gen gegenüber offen zu sein, hat mir die Recherche zu meinem Artikel ab S. 34 vor Augen geführt. Die hier versammelten Beiträge aus »Gehirn&Geist« zeichnen ein facettenreiches Bild unseres moralischen Kompasses – auf dass wir ohne größere Kollisionen durch das Miteinander navigieren. Eine gute Lektüre wünscht Ihr Steve Ayan, Redaktion Gehirn&Geist.

Examine the inner workings of the mind and learn what consciousness and a sense of self really means - and if it even exists. We're used to thinking about the self as an independent entity, something that we either have or are. In The Ego Tunnel, philosopher Thomas Metzinger claims otherwise: No such thing as a self exists. The conscious self is the content of a model created by our brain-an internal image, but one we cannot experience as an image. Everything we experience is "a virtual self in a virtual reality."But if the self is not "real," why and how did it evolve? How does the brain construct it? Do we still have souls, free will, personal autonomy, or moral accountability? In a time when the science of cognition is becoming as controversial as evolution, The Ego Tunnel provides a stunningly original take on the mystery of the mind.

A Finalist for the 2019 Kirkus Prize in Nonfiction "Nayeri combines her own experience with those of refugees she meets as an adult, telling their stories with tenderness and reverence.” —The New York Times Book Review "Nayeri weaves her empowering personal story with those of the ‘feared swarms’ . . . Her family’s escape from Isfahan to Oklahoma, which involved waiting in Dubai and Italy, is wildly fascinating . . . Using energetic prose, Nayeri is an excellent conduit for these heart–rending stories, eschewing judgment and employing care in threading the stories in with her own . . . This is a memoir laced with stimulus and plenty of heart at a time when the latter has grown elusive.” —Star–Tribune (Minneapolis) Aged eight, Dina Nayeri fled Iran along with her mother and brother and lived in the crumbling shell of an Italian hotel–turned–refugee camp. Eventually she was granted asylum in America. She settled in Oklahoma, then made her way to Princeton University. In this book, Nayeri weaves together her own vivid story with the stories of other refugees and asylum seekers in recent years, bringing us inside their daily lives and taking us through the different stages of their journeys, from escape to asylum to resettlement. In these pages, a couple fall in love over the phone, and women gather to prepare the noodles that remind them of home. A closeted queer man tries to make his case truthfully as he seeks asylum, and a translator attempts to help new arrivals present their stories to officials. Nayeri confronts notions like “the swarm,” and, on the other hand, “good” immigrants. She calls attention to the harmful way in which Western governments privilege certain dangers over others. With surprising and provocative questions, The Ungrateful Refugee challenges us to rethink how we talk about the refugee crisis. “A writer who confronts issues that are key to the refugee experience.” —Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Sympathizer and The Refugees

Mental Healers Franz Anton Mesmer Mary Baker Eddy Sigmund Freud written by Stefan Zweig and has been published by Plunkett Lake Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2019-08-16 with Body, Mind & Spirit categories.
This Plunkett Lake Press eBook is produced by arrangement with Viking, an imprint of Penguin Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House LLC. “Health is natural; sickness is unnatural: at least so it seems to man,” is how Stefan Zweig begins his fascinating, often entertaining examinations of Franz Anton Mesmer, Mary Baker Eddy, and Sigmund Freud. “Bodily suffering is not assuaged by technical manipulation but through an act of faith.” Mental Healers is dedicated to Albert Einstein, the scientist who had won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921. It first appeared in 1931 as Die Heilung durch den Geist, orHealing Through the Spirit, a title that anticipates our current interest in alternative medicine and the placebo effect. Zweig’s first healer, Franz Anton Mesmer (1734-1815), was a German physician who introduced “animal magnetism” to the world. Viewed by many as a charlatan, he died an outcast before he could properly understand and explain his discovery. Zweig’s second healer, Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910), was a New England matron who found her vocation only in middle age. She established Christian Science, an American Protestant system of religious practice that rejects medical intervention, when she was almost 60. Zweig’s third healer, Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), was the Viennese Jewish physician who founded psychoanalysis. Zweig, who knew Freud and delivered a eulogy at his funeral, describes Freud’s then-new ideas with the insight of an artist who lived in the same time and place. Fluently written and psychologically astute, Mental Healers is compelling cultural history and a valuable window onto the genesis of new ideas in healing. “Mesmer, Eddy and Freud were critical figures alerting the modern world to the influences of the mental and emotional on health and illness. Their impact was tremendous and Zweig's classic study provides a wonderful opportunity to engage with these significant innovators.” — Ted Kaptchuk, Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Director, Program in Placebo Studies & Therapeutic Encounter

This volume introduces a model of the expansion of cultural capacity as a systemic approach with biological, historical and individual dimensions. It is contrasted with existing approaches from primatology and behavioural ecology; influential factors like differences in life history and demography are discussed; and the different stages of the development of cultural capacity in human evolution are traced in the archaeological record. The volume provides a synthetic view on a) the different factors and mechanisms of cultural development, and b) expansions of cultural capacities in human evolution beyond the capacities observed in animal culture so far. It is an important topic because only a volume of contributions from different disciplines can yield the necessary breadth to discuss the complex subject. The model introduced and discussed originates in the naturalist context and tries to open the discussion to some culturalist aspects, thus the publication in a series with archaeological and biological emphasis is apt. As a new development the synthetic model of expansion of cultural capacity is introduced and discussed in a broad perspective.

Most of us have no idea what’s really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know—like the need for physical activity to get your brain working its best. How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget—and so important to repeat new knowledge? Is it true that men and women have different brains? In Brain Rules, Dr. John Medina, a molecular biologist, shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule—what scientists know for sure about how our brains work—and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives. Medina’s fascinating stories and infectious sense of humor breathe life into brain science. You’ll learn why Michael Jordan was no good at baseball. You’ll peer over a surgeon’s shoulder as he proves that most of us have a Jennifer Aniston neuron. You’ll meet a boy who has an amazing memory for music but can’t tie his own shoes. You will discover how: Every brain is wired differently Exercise improves cognition We are designed to never stop learning and exploring Memories are volatile Sleep is powerfully linked with the ability to learn Vision trumps all of the other senses Stress changes the way we learn In the end, you’ll understand how your brain really works—and how to get the most out of it.
