Hinweis der Redaktion
- Stress is a neuron growth killer. Literally.
- Stress leads to atrophy and loss of neurons.
- And not just white matter. These are pyramidal cells in grey matter which are not sheathed in myelin. You can see how the cell on the left has more growth, and this image doesnât even show dendritic spining, the process that yields new synapses. The cell on the right comes from an animal that experiences higher levels of stress and you can see the decreased overall branching and shorter axon lengths.
- Itâs also important to talk about neural plasticity.
- Think of white matter as a set of telephone wires that connect regions of the brain. Loss of integrity includes reduced myelination and atrophy in size of axons, which is directly correlated with ability of neuron to transmit impulses. In a study by John Morrison at Mount Sinai School of medicine, stressed rats were documented taking longer to recognize new patterns than rats with less stress.
- To give you a sense of the importance of white matter, this is a tensor diffusion image of white matter connectivity. You can see that every part of the brain requires white matter signal transduction. A study by University of Kentucky on white matter found that elderly people who are at risk for Alzheimers but donât yet show symptoms show both reduced axonal and myelin integrity in critical white matter regions responsible for connecting gray matter regions responsible for memory formation.
- Knowledge is key to targeted intervention. So whatâs good for your neurons?
- Laughter. Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, stimulates the immune system and increases relaxation by stimulating oxygen supply to the brain. Your brain is about 3% of your body mass yet uses about 25% of your bodyâs energy. Itâs energetically expensive to think and learn, and laughter is an interlude that helps your body do it better. It
- Knowledge is key to targeted intervention. So whatâs good for your neurons?
- Perspective. The way we see the world influences the way we perceive it to be. For example, letâs look at a study performed by Yale University.
- Researchers at Yale did a study on fullness. They gave one group a smoothie that was a âsensibleâ 140 calories, a control group had a 380 cal smoothie and a third group consumed a 620 cal âindulgentâ smoothie. Nor surprisingly, the group that consumed the low-cal smoothie experienced a reduced release of the hormone ghrelin, which regulates appetite. The reverse was true for the group that drank the 620 cal smoothie. Their bodies released more of the fullness hormone and they consequently reported feeling more full. The surprising part?

- Cognitive Appraisal, a term originally coined by Richard Lazarus of UC Berkeley, is thesubjective assessment of situational demands and available resources, aka your perception of a situation.
- This is not the kind of response you want to have. Itâs a great image. Funny, ridiculous and if you think about it, and put it into another perspective, say a mere 500 years ago when people were in the dark ages and didnât have freedom of religion or science or even places in the world where every day residents are threatened by civil unrest, violence, war and totalitarian regimes, that overwhelming new project your boss just handed you is not such a big thing. Cognitive appraisal is based on the idea that you can respond to the same situation in different ways.

- Threat: Possible future damage that the event may cause.Challenge: The potential to overcome and even profit from the event.
- Sleep allows the brain to process memories and grow new connections formed during the day. Your brain is far from silent while you are sleeping. You have 4 stages of sleep plus REM which accounts for 20 percent of sleep time. REM is deep sleep is is thought to play a key role in maintaining a healthy brain. According to the NIH, during sleep, growth hormones are released, neurotransmitters are synthesized, protein breakdown in cells slows, and toxins from daily activities are flushed.
- Lack of sleep impairs immune function and can have peculiar side effects like boosting hunger and appetite.

- When your body lacks water, brain cells and other neurons shrink and biochemical processes involved in cellular communication slow. A drop of as little as 1 to 2% of fluid levels can result in slower processing speeds, impaired short-term memory, tweaked visual tracking and deficits in attention. Water is also important to remove toxins. Via Gregory Kellett, neuroscientist at UCSF.
- As rebecca mentioned. B Vitamins and zinc are key to making neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA; zinc plays a central role in the growth of new neurons
- As rebecca mentioned. B Vitamins and zinc are key to making neurotransmitters like serotonin and GABA; zinc plays a central role in the growth of new dendrites, as pictured above in a neurite. Phytonutrients, are plant compounds that have tremendous health benefits for the brain. Thesepigmentd molecules from colored fruits and veggies are loaded with antioxidants and even carry active enzymes that can enhance the efficience of the biochemical machine happening in your body right now. To give you a sense of the scale of how much is happening in your body, consider that every 60seconds your bone marrow creates 120 MILLION red blood cells AND 7 MILLION white blood cells. Hereâs a little game: does anyone know the food with the highest nutrient value per calorie?

- Kale. Healthy body, healthy mind. Itâs also important to note that consuming whole, unprocessed foods helps maintain a healthy gut bacteria flora. There are more non-human cells in your body than human ones, and the 100 trillion bacteria in your gut paly a crucial role in nutrient absorption and even influence production many neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, 90% of which is used by your enteric nervous system.

- So what does it take to make an ultra mind? Weâve explored how the mind works and considered exercise, relaxation, laughter, happiness, perspective, sleep, hydration and nutrition as contributing factors to cognitive health. Iâm going to add one more thing to this list which may come as a delightful surprise.
- Awe. Researchers at Stanford Graduate School of Business recently performed a landmark study on the biological benefits of awe, which range from the expansion of perception of time to increased patience; awe boosts decision making ability and well-being. Iâm going to close today with a video about the biological benefits of awe. âAwe-inspiring experiences make you feel that time is more plentiful. They also incline you to give of your time more freely. So go get your fill of awesomeness.â
