Tweak your brain ; Get the most out of you

Human brain is indeed what drives the human life. Ever since the first minds that started to wander the human curiosity has been observing the structuring and funtioning of the brain to better understand how to optimally function and get the best use of brain along with creating techniqunes and practices for pushing it to the limit.

axons and neurons

Neurons are the brain cells that constitute the brain by forming a massive interconnected network of brain cells. Axon, that take electrical signals away and denrites, that bring in the signals, construct the neuron. There are over 100 billion neurons that take part in information exchange through electro chemical process every day. Each neuron may be connected to up to 10,000 other neurons.

Furthermore the brain is comprised of grey matter and white matter if we look at the disected brain. The grey matter is what most constitutes the brain and its main function is muscle control, and sensory pBrain_Cortex_Harvarderception such as seeing and hearing, memory, emotions, speech, decision making, and self-control. Similarly the white matter is what carries the signal to the grey matter from one part to another part. The white matter is a sort of fat that surrounds the long interneconnecting neurons providing an electrical insulation to the signals from the surface of the nerve cells.

One really strange and intresting thing about the brain is its dynamics in structure, shape and size. Apart from the general construction, no two brains are exactly the same. And experiments, research and studies have proved that the brain is unstable is changing according to everyday living and thinking. There are practices and techniques you can adopt to help your brain improve its different functioning and change the structure, size and shape of the brain.

Here’s a vedio that illustrates more of the brain concentrating on the brain of the most acclaimed scientist thought to have used his brain perfectly, Albert Einstein himself and few brain warmers you might like.

Next up we delve into different techniques and tactics for tweaking up the brain. Now there are numerous brain challanges we encounter in our everyday life. Regular practice of solving brain teasers has always been the best way to keep up the efficiency of the brain. Downloading such apps and playing games like pairssequence, counting, sorting etc is the way to build up the attention, problem solving, visual system, speed etc of the brain. Fitbrains is an app for mobile devices and is highly recommended.

Albert Einstein‘s brain had a peculiar “U” shape at the right lobe unlike many other normal people. However similar shapes have been noticed in people who play string instrument and Einstine played violin. Intrestingly people who play piano have a similar structures in their left lobe different from other people. Going into learning music is definately a good way to make your brain more dynamic. Infact learning new and new things, exploring new places and meeting new people are also another great way to change the dynamics of brain but the question is to what extent does the brain become dynamic. Music has proved to be very effective. Guitarplayers are good with their intuition and their brains start synchronizing much before they start playing a song together.

Do you know that meditation increases the grey matter in the brain. It is a proven fact. Although brain researchers inclined to science say it increases the frontal lobe, the part just inside of the forehead they agree it makes you more thoughtful. Here are some videos of the supporters and critics of meditation and their views on meditation. Both of them have been involved in the study of the brain.

Cannabis makes you slow. Although it is viewed by users as making them calm, irrational thoughtful and creative, in the long run we have seen hard users with memory crisis, anxiety and a very negative attitude on the things you dont agree with them. It is highly addictive and the abuse is inevitable. Nothing is good and nothing is bad, its the quantity that makes it good or bad and cannabis or any other drugs are’re going to let you remain determinant on the quantity. Some hard users have shown decline in the parts of the brain associated with memory so next time you find yourself smoking weed remember the brain is getting smaller.

A healthy brain is definately the result of a healthy body conditioned with healthy food and a healthy lifestyle.

After thoughtful considerations on these issues, it can be concluded that the brain is dynamic and ever changing. Brain washes off some old memories and adds in new and new memories and it is infact the only organ that doesnt stop to grow even after 25. Keep learning new things, exploring new places and meeting new people and you can tweak up the brain to its maximum. Keep your brain fit with brain games. Practice meditation for it increases the grey matter in your brain. (Browse my article on meditation and bring it in practice for at least 3 months and reflect for yourself whether it has changed you for it is proven science that really works.)

At last, Here is another video about conditioning your brain.

THE SCIENCE SO FAR
May 14, 2015 sagaritabd

“Gone are the days when societies relied primarily on religious doctrines for answers. Our age has already embraced the logical approach for description in a new doctrine we all know as Science.”

Mankind’s greatest intellectual leap has indeed been the shift of faith to logic over the use of ambiguous God. The ambiguous God was simple unreasonable and that is perhaps the very reason why the greatest minds of each era have clung to formulation of logical reasoning. These minds have bestowed us with universal laws that never have never failed and are aptly enough to describe the underlying processes.

In an age where logic itself had no meaning at all protagonists like Aristotle and Pythagoras of the ancient greek civilization lay the seeds of science. Then in yet another era paladins like Leonardo da Vinci and Galileo Galilei stood up as stalwart pioneers in the fronteer of science against the likes of a tenebrous world ethics. Universal laws began taking over our judgement and the whole world shakes with the discoveries made in the journeys of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and the likes afterward.

In the vedio below professor Michio Kaku presents the journeys, discoveries and expectation of science.

Jumping in towards the current outreach of science, we have to consider the understanding of the micro and macro world and that is there where it is now. Quantum theory, string theory is the current hot issues in Science. At Meyrin, Switzerland CERN is European research organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world. And they are all committed to explaining the very creation and existence of universe.

Big bang, Earth, Living beings, Human history present.

When science delved through the molecular and atomic structures as the building blocks of everything, elements like Hydrogen(H), Oxygen(O), Carbon(C) etc. were discovered which were much researched and arranged according to their structure and generalized in a table called periodic table. However the advancement just did not stop at that. Electrons, Protons and Neutrons were discovered that constructed every element. Their quantities defined what element it was and whole universe was found to be nothing but different quantities and arrangement of these basic particles.

Science was just not going to stop at that and scientists further looked into what constituted these electrons, neutrons and protons so they went further and more into them and discovered quarks, science is researching if these singly unstable quarks have any structure, shape and their properties. Simply, a quark is an elementary particle and a fundamental constituent of matter. Quarks combine to form composite particles called hadrons, the most stable of which are protons and neutrons, the components of atomic nuclei.

We see colors, hear sounds just like we observe the patterns that move in water in form of waves. When science accepted there was more to existence than physical matters, waves got recognized and nearly every matter or every thing receives, reacts or reflects waves in form of sound, light and so forth. Science has universally proved vibrations as the producers of waves be it sound, light or heat and day by day scientists are going more and more into it as this is what leads to the next major breakthrough.

Conventionally the space was thought to be empty. It was stated that there existed nothing, no matter or anything that constituted the space throughout our universe. This statement has changed more recently stating there is something in the space, its not empty at all which some refer to lumiferous ether. It was Aristotle originally who proposed the idea in the first place. Like stated earlier vibrations are the source of waves. So what vibrates? What infact is it that gives existence to waves? And that is where science is battling right now. So the much hot topic of the scientific community the String theory hence got its life.

Simply everything is constituted by strings. Generalizing there are two types of strings one is open with two tails open at both ends and next is closed with its tail attached to its mouth forming a closed ring like a benzene ring or a serpent eating its own tail. The open strings are are stable, not reacting or producing anything so act as if there was nothing in the space but persists as infinite as the space itself, the lumiferous ether. Closed strings however are prone to vibrations and keep producing waves and matter. We yet dont know what can close and open the string but it does happen. An open string may become closed giving existence to what that was just not there. This pretty much explains how our universe got its existence. But this era has just started and the scientific community has been doing more and more research on it everyday. It requires much more thinking, research, debate, investment and studies to formulate it and reach a logical conclusion. When that is done we can expect science to boom the world with astounding discoveries, inventions we can never think of, all with the application of the knowledge.
