11. Brain Waves and the Deeper States of Consciousness July 31, 2008 Your brain has a unique set of brain waves. In neuroscience, there are five distinct brain wave frequencies, namely Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta and the lesser known Gamma. Learning mind control at the deeper states of consciousness opens you up to the world of your subconscious mind where you can create your reality at will and with exact precision. Each frequency, measured in cycles per second (Hz), has its own set of characteristics representing a specific level of brain activity and hence a unique state of consciousness. Beta (14-40Hz): Beta brain waves are associated with normal wa... (read more) Author: Tania Kotsos

17. Neurotransmitter reverses sleep deprivation March 16, 2008 Administration of orexin-A, a naturally occurring brain neurotransmitter, counteracts the intellectual deficits and altered brain metabolism induced by sleep deprivation in monkeys, new research findings show. Orexin-A was tested because of its know specific brain activity in controlling sleep processes in mammals, lead author Dr. Sam A. Deadwyler told Reuters Health. Orexin-A is released by neurons in the brain, the scientists explain in the Journal of Neuroscience, and orexin-A receptors are located on neurons in many brain regions affected by sleep and sleep deprivation. Deadwyler, a ... (read more) Author: Alvaro Castillo

18. Daytime sleep improves memory consolidation March 16, 2008 A ninety minute daytime nap helps speed up the process of long term memory consolidation, a recent study conducted by Prof. Avi Karni and Dr. Maria Korman of the Center for Brain and Behavior Research at the University of Haifa found. The research was published in the scientific journal Nature Neuroscience. "We still don't know the exact mechanism of the memory process that occurs during sleep, but the results of this research suggest the possibility that it is possible to speed up memory consolidation, and in the future, we may be able to do it artificially," said Prof. Karni. Lon... (read more) Author: Alvaro Castillo

19. Blame stress for just about everything March 16, 2008 Stress kills. Its potentially fatal effect on the heart is well documented. But new research suggests that it is probably the reason for everything from decaying gums to common colds. An article in Observer, the monthly magazine of the Association for Psychological Science, cites new research across psychology, medicine, neuroscience and genetics to conclude that stress is at the root of a whole range of health problems. Stress encompasses the strains experienced by living organisms in their struggles to adapt and cope with changing environments. When danger is perceived, a c... (read more) Author: Alvaro Castillo

20. Faces of DARPP-32: Master Signaling Mediator in the Brain? December 06, 2007 As a major target for dopamine-activated adenylyl cyclase and protein kinase A in the striatum, DARPP-32 plays a central role in regulating the efficacy of dopaminergic neurotransmission and can act either as a phosphatase or kinase inhibitor in a contextually dependent manner. Growing evidence points to DARPP-32 as a key mediator/modulator in numerous signal transduction cascades implicated in a growing number of neurological disorders such as schizophrenia and depression, as well as in drug abuse and addiction. For example, it has been shown that acute exposure of mice to cocaine increases ... (read more) Author: Stephen Jones

23. Neurotheology - With God In Mind July 29, 2006 Addressing the general meeting for the “Society of Neuroscience” in 1997, Dr. Ramachandran made comment that “there is a neural basis for religious experience.” Ramachandran’s radical statement catapulted neurotheology well into the public eye. The aim of neurotheology is to question “explore theology from a neurological perspective...helping us to understand the human urge for religion and religious myth” (Newberg, D’Aquili & Rause 2001, p177). Neurotheologians address this through varying scientific methods. Ultimately, can such a movement disprove the existence of God? Newberg and D’a... (read more) Author: Victoria Powell

24. Long Term Brain Injury from Use of Ecstasy May 31, 2006 The designer drug ecstasy, or MDMA, causes long-lasting damage to brain areas that are critical for thinking and remembering, according to fresh research determinations in the June 15 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience. In an try out with red squirrel monkeys, research workers at The Johns Hopkins University proved that 4 days of vulnerability to the drug stimulated damage that stayed 6 to 7 years later. These findings aid to formalize former research by the Hopkins team in humans, leading that population who had consumed MDMA scored lower on storage exams. "The serotonin system, which...
