We may not always get what we want, but we always get what we choose. Therefore, choose wisely Walter Last Our conscious decisions are made on the mental level with our mind. Therefore, all healing and all improvement in our living conditions start at this level.

It is here that we must take the first step with a conscious decision that we want to improve conditions by following a suitable program. If we see the progression of our lives as a creative process, then we may see the mind as the architect. In our society rational thinking and the intellect are worshipped, while feeling and intuition are grossly neglected. Thinking is the most important tool for achieving such external success, while tender feelings are a disadvantage for success in our society. Our mind has truly awesome powers, not only in making as sick or unhappy, but also in making us healthy and happy.

Like the saying, "You can't teach an old dog new tricks," the aging human brain has a tough time learning from new experiences, suggests a study on rats showing tiny brain-cell structures needed for this process get quite rigid in their twilight years.

Rats are generally reliable models for human brain studies, so the results should hold for us, the researchers say. The researchers looked at the prefrontal cortex, the brain region that controls various cognitive processes and plays a role in higher learning. They knew that brain cells in the prefrontal cortex of young animals are really flexible, or plastic. Life experiences, particularly those that involve learning, can profoundly alter the circuitry in this brain region. For example, stress causes nerve cells to shrink and lose synapses, or the connections between nerve cells where communication occurs. In the young rats, the brain cells lost many of their spines, which grew back after a stress-free period. Keep Your Mind Sharp.

Searching the Brain for the Spark of Creative Problem-Solving. But who wants to troll? Let lightning strike. Let the clues suddenly coalesce in the brain — “field!” — as they do so often for young children solving a riddle. As they must have done, for that matter, in the minds of those early humans who outfoxed nature well before the advent of deduction, abstraction or SAT prep courses. Puzzle-solving is such an ancient, universal practice, scholars say, precisely because it depends on creative insight, on the primitive spark that ignited the first campfires. And now, modern neuroscientists are beginning to tap its source. In a just completed study, researchers at found that people were more likely to solve word puzzles with sudden insight when they were amused, having just seen a short comedy routine. This and other recent research suggest that the appeal of puzzles goes far deeper than the -reward rush of finding a solution. And that escape is all the more tantalizing for being incomplete.

Out of Our Brains. The Stone is a forum for contemporary philosophers and other thinkers on issues both timely and timeless. Where is my mind? The question — memorably posed by rock band the Pixies in their 1988 song — is one that, perhaps surprisingly, divides many of us working in the areas of philosophy of mind and cognitive science. Look at the science columns of your daily newspapers and you could be forgiven for thinking that there is no case to answer.

We are all familiar with the colorful “brain blob” pictures that show just where activity (indirectly measured by blood oxygenation level) is concentrated as we attempt to solve different kinds of puzzles: blobs here for thinking of nouns, there for thinking of verbs, over there for solving ethical puzzles of a certain class, and so on, ad blobum. (In fact, the brain blob picture has seemingly been raised to the status of visual art form of late with the publication of a book of high-octane brain images. ) But then again, maybe not. Where is my mind?
