O cérebro — órgão mais complexo do corpo humano – é o foco de estudo da neurociência, que, embora seja um campo recente, tem raízes milenares. Com as descobertas das estruturas cerebrais nos últimos séculos, essa ciência tem o desafio de desvendar a complexidade do sistema nervoso e dos comportamentos humanos. Com o propósito de informar e, com isso, proporcionar um maior equilíbrio do corpo com a psique, este audiolivro apresenta as bases atuais da neurociência, quais são suas teorias para explicar o funcionamento do cérebro, suas disfunções e os impactos desse campo de estudo na vida humana.

Aphasia, the amygdala, anorexia, the inner thought process, and testosterone. You’re probably wondering what the majority of these things are, don’t worry, you’re not alone. That is why this audiobook was written, to teach you about: Aphasia, a language disorder that prevents the understanding and production of speech, the amygdala, the tiny organ in our brain that is responsible for the majority of our emotions, anorexia, an emotional eating disorder, the inner thought process, a way to use your subconscious to better your life, and testosterone, a male hormone.

Science confirms the distinction between the biological brain and the conscious mind. Each day, a game of mind versus matter plays out on a field defined by the problems we must solve. Most are routine, and don't demand a more mindful approach. It's when we're faced with more difficult challenges that our thinking becomes vulnerable to brain patterns that can lead us astray.

Beatriz and Albert Sheldon have spent the last twenty years developing the novel therapeutic paradigm called Complex Integration of Multiple Brain Systems. They have pioneered a new methodology for "reading" and assessing emotional states using their patients' carefully observed psychophysiological phenomena as empirical evidence. Translating academic, scientific, and clinical research and successful training courses into a reference work that you can savor at leisure, the Sheldons have produced an approachable, intriguing, yet comprehensive milestone in psychotherapeutic literature.

Haptics, or haptic sensing, refers to the ability to identify and perceive objects through touch. This is active touch, involving exploration of an object with the hand rather than the passive sensing of a vibration or force on the skin. The development of new technologies, including prosthetic hands and tactile surfaces for flat screen displays, depends on our knowledge of haptics. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Lynette Jones offers an accessible overview of haptics, or active touch sensing, and its applications.

Learn the essentials about the three "happy" hormones - oxytocin, endorphin, and dopamine - and estrogen. Oxytocin is a powerful hormone. It isn’t called the “love drug” for nothing. Endorphin is more of a catch-all as it implies a pharmacological activity as opposed to a specific chemical formulation. Dopamine is a hormone that is also big on making you feel good. Estrogen is basically a girl form of testosterone. It’s responsible for the development and maintenance of her female parts.

Temperament is the single most pervasive aspect of us and our fellow human beings. We notice it; we gossip about it; we make judgments based on it; we unconsciously shape our lives around it. In The Temperamental Thread, developmental psychologist Jerome Kagan draws on decades of research to describe the nature of temperament-the in-born traits that underlie our responses to experience.

A resposta está na dopamina, substância química que atua no cérebro e nos impulsiona a querer sempre mais–seja no consumo, no lazer, no trabalho e até nos relacionamentos. Ao mesmo tempo que funciona como motor do progresso, a dopamina nos prende num ciclo de insatisfação constante, pois promete a felicidade, mas não a entrega. Para alcançar o contentamento, precisamos gerenciar seus efeitos, e não apenas seguir seus comandos automáticos.

In this eye-opening work, Graziano accessibly explores how this sense of an inner being led to empathy and formed us into social beings. The theory may point the way to engineers for building consciousness artificially. Graziano discusses what a future with artificial consciousness might be like, including both advantages and risks, and what AI might mean for our evolutionary future.
