As a research neuroscientist, Lise Eliot has made the study of the human brain her life's work. But it wasn't until she was pregnant with her first child that she became intrigued with the study of brain development. She wanted to know precisely how the baby's brain is formed, and when and how each sense, skill, and cognitive ability is developed. And most importantly, she was interested in finding out how her role as a nurturer can affect this complex process.

The statistics on suicide are staggering. The World Health Organization estimates that nearly 800,000 people die by suicide every year, which is one person every forty seconds, and for each completed suicide there may be twenty or more attempts. In How I Stayed Alive When My Brain Was Trying to Kill Me, Susan Blauner is the perfect emissary for a message of hope and a program of action for these millions of people.

There is a process called neuroplasticity that occurs inside the human brain that essentially allows the development of new brain cells. New brain cells are born out of new experiences. The application of positive or negative habits can transform you, respectively, into a better or worse person. So, can you really learn to rewire your brain through the construction of new habits, positive restructuring of thoughts, becoming more organized, and zeroing in on your mental health problems? Yes, you can!

For neuroscientist Dr. Rachel Barr, understanding our brains is not just a profession but an immensely personal endeavour. Having witnessed her own mother’s struggles with mental ill-health, Rachel embarked on studies that would help her understand and share the simple steps that we can all take to better our own mental well-being. In stark contrast to the relentless effort and productivity of the multi-step optimization movement, Rachel offers a refreshing alternative.

Your toddler throws a tantrum in the middle of a store. Your preschooler refuses to get dressed. Your 11-year-old sulks on the bench instead of playing on the field.

Siegel - neuropsychiatrist and author of the best-selling Mindsight - and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson demystify the meltdowns and aggravation, explaining the new science of how a child’s brain is wired and how it matures.

Durante los seis primeros años de vida el cerebro infantil tiene un potencial que no volverá a tener.

Social media magnifies the impact of enemy mode toward almost all topics or persons imaginable.
