…er to the left and some to the right and switching between them was often seen. The influence of amphetamine and other brain dopamine neurotransmitter- mediated drug manipulations on directional turning tendencies in rats, mice and cats were the focus of brain and behavioral res...

…capacities and processes that are transduced through but extend far beyond the hardware of a single computer, the human brain has evolved to promote social and cultural capacities and processes that are transduced through but that extend far beyond a solitary brain. To understand...

…loser to non-fiction. Over fifty years ago, scientists working with rats, implanted electrodes into in a region of the brain called the nucleus accumbens. The electrodes were connected to a switch. If the rat pressed the switch, it activated the electrode and thus stimulated thi...

…“pair” is abstract, and such pairs may manifest themselves quite differently in different sorts of memory systems (e.g. brains versus non-neuromorphic AT systems). The key is a localized version of the item, and records some significant aspects of the items in a simple and crisp...

…ard those in pain. Both Caucasian, Black and Asian subjects showed stronger activation in the pain-related areas of the brain when viewing individuals from the same race experience pain than when viewing individuals of a different race. When Black subjects played a computerized g...

CHAPTER 5: SOME ENTHEOGENIC ENTROPIES In the spring of 1968, members of my laboratory team were looking for new brain metabolic pathways of the essential amino acid tryptophan, the dietary precursor of the human mood, sleep and libidinal neurotransmitter, serotonin. After strug...

… any mouth movements. Mirror neurons demonstrate that observed action can produce a resonant response in an observer’s brain. Seeing a talker’s mouth move creates a motor- resonant response that aids in understanding speech sounds. However, these two observations are very differ...

…quences of his actions, and had the capacity to act upon his options. Or did he? We know that the frontal lobes of the brain play an important role in self-control and emotional regulation. We also know that this area of the brain is not fully mature until people reach their mid...

deep reach. The hypothalamus plays a key role in enabling communication from brain to periphery. Located in the lower central region of the brain, the hypothalamus receives neural input on brain and body states (e.g., pain, sadness, fear, hunger) and in response signals brain reg...
