What's The Human Relationship Betwixt The Encephalon In Addition To The Soul?
The argue why that's really empowering is because if you lot are having a tough fourth dimension inward life mired inward depression or mired inward some negative mood, we're hoping that people read this too say, "I select this amazing partner inward my head, this amazing organ, fifty-fifty cooler than my stomach, too it's mine to use."
Well, gauge what, that's wrong.
Now nosotros know that novel nervus cells are made just inward the percentage of the encephalon where Alzheimer's hits.
We also know from interrogation inward my lab too other labs that if you lot get nervus cells to separate inward the short-term retentiveness component of the brain, you lot tin ameliorate the symptoms of Alzheimer's illness inward creature models." -- Rudy Tanzi, Director, Genetics too Aging Research Unit, MassGeneral Institute for Neurodegenerative Disease
TRANSCRIPT:
Deepak Chopra too I are writing a mass called Superbrain. It's Deepak's title.
Deepak too I spoke at the same TEDMED final year, too later on nosotros met for the starting fourth dimension time. We started talking almost the brain, too nosotros realized that me coming from the neuroscience side, thinking almost knowledge too nervus cells too synapses, too Deepak coming from the consciousness side, inward a serial of e-mails after nosotros met nosotros realized that nosotros concur on but almost everything, but I mean value almost it inward damage of neurophysiology too neuronal processes too how synapses form, too Deepak is thinking of it inward a metaphysical agency inward damage of consciousness, using Vedantic literature.

But remember, Deepak's an M.D., too thus he knows the scientific discipline side too thus he tin appreciate what I'm saying, too I've ever had an intense involvement inward metaphysics too the things Deepak talks about. I've read Deepak's books earlier I met him. So, it was but a really prissy spousal human relationship there, too nosotros said, "Let's write a mass almost the encephalon too let's verbalize almost all the things that people don't know almost the encephalon that makes the encephalon too thus amazing."
So, ane component of the mass is to say, "I bet you lot didn't know," to the average person, "that nervus cells truly divide. You're taught that you're born alongside a for sure publish of nervus cells, you lot lose them, too you lot don't acquire them back.
Well, gauge what, that's wrong.
Now nosotros know that novel nervus cells are made just inward the percentage of the encephalon where Alzheimer's hits. We also know from interrogation inward my lab too other labs that if you lot get nervus cells to separate inward the short-term retentiveness component of the brain, you lot tin ameliorate the symptoms of Alzheimer's illness inward creature models."
So, things similar this. H5N1 lot of people don't know almost neuroplasticity, the take in that when you lot select impairment to the brain, a stroke or encephalon trauma, that nervus cells around the damaged ones regenerate. They sprout novel axons too dendrites. They endeavor to find the connections that were lost past times the neurons that died. They endeavor to hold the neuro-network inward some amazingly elegant way.
So, you're non but left out to dry out after you lot select an injury. If you lot endeavor to learn, attempt novelties, stimulate yourself intellectually, forcefulness yourself to brand novel synapses, you lot tin heal yourself.
Now, of course, it depends on how traumatic the injury is. So, nosotros desire to learn people that the brain's an amazing thing.
The minute signal to the mass is straight off that you lot know how bang-up your encephalon is too how amazing it is too all these things you lot powerfulness non select known, gauge what -- you lot are non your brain. You may mean value you're your brain. You're non your encephalon but equally much equally you're non your stomach. When you're hungry, you lot experience hunger inward your tum too you lot say, "I postulate to eat."
You don't position alongside your stomach. Your tum gave you lot a feeling that you lot needed to select too thus that you lot would swallow nutrient too thus that you lot tin move too function.
Emotions, intellect, serve the same purpose from the brain. Your emotions are serving you lot for survival too your intellect is serving you. It's your partner, your greatest ally, a really powerful tool. It's non who you lot are.
The argue why that's really empowering is because if you lot are having a tough fourth dimension inward life mired inward depression or mired inward some negative mood, we're hoping that people read this too say, "I select this amazing partner inward my head, this amazing organ, fifty-fifty cooler than my stomach, too it's mine to use."
So, inward the mass ane of the starting fourth dimension lines that I wrote -- too we'll come across if it stays inward it -- is "Say out loud: 'my brain.' My brain. Who said that? Who said 'my brain'? That's who you lot are.
The somebody who said 'my brain,' that's who you lot are. You used your encephalon to nation 'my brain,' but the fact you lot tin nation 'my brain' too live self-aware says that's the existent you."
Now, who the existent you lot is, this is where Deepak comes in, because Deepak volition verbalize almost the soul too almost consciousness too almost the universe's consciousness too the metaphysics. So, Deepak volition convey inward who's the existent you. I volition convey inward the existent you lot equally an incredible partner to move on this public too thrive, too it's your brain.
When you lot experience down, when you lot experience emotionally down, admit it, OK? It's for a reason. Emotions serve a purpose.
Don't live Mr. Spock. Don't live the Star Trek generation, where emotion is useless, you lot know, you lot but utilisation logic. No, live balanced. When emotions hit, pay attention, but don't position alongside them.
When intellectual thoughts come, internal dialogue hits, utilisation it; don't live it.
When intuitions come upward that are born out of your intellect too your instinct, pay attending to them. They're all serving you lot from your partner, the brain, but it's non who you lot truly are. So those are the 2 facets of the book.
