Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex Psychlopedia -- Key concepts -- Biological concepts -- Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex Jump to the comments Section Overview The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, together with other connected areas, is assumed to be important in working memory and executive function--including the regulation of thinking and action. Damage to this region provokes dysexecutive syndrome. Roles of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex The difference between the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex aligns to the disparity between the dorsal and ventral pathways in the cortex, according to O'Reilly (2010). The dorsal pathways primarily terminate in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex instead of the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex. The ventral pathways primarily terminate in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex instead of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. O'Reilly (2010) accumulated considerable evidence to support this contention. Memory Mood
Biohacking - The Beginner’s Guide (Top 7 Hacks!) Warning: This is going to be interactive. To simplify, I filtered it down to 7 actionable biohacks that you can start doing immediately: Movement, nutrition, rewilding, awareness, music, flow, and gratitude. But first… What the heck is “Biohacking”? Biohacking is a crazy-sounding name for something not crazy at all—the desire to be the absolute best version of ourselves. The main thing that separates a biohacker from the rest of the self-improvement world is a systems-thinking approach to our own biology. You know how coffee feels like a shot of energy to your brain? Pre-coffee you is sleepy….zzzzzz… Post-coffee you is WIDE AWAKE!! The only difference is the coffee in your stomach. The lesson is this: What you put into your body has an ENORMOUS impact on how you feel. We all know this. Music is another. The things we put in our stomach and ears are inputs into our biology. As humans, we are complex systems. Do that with me now. 1. We all know sitting for long periods is terrible. 2. Dr. 3. 1. 2. 3.
Seth's Blog Why you should learn to lucid dream | Yes, I Can! by Robin Nixon If you’ve never experienced it then you may find it hard to understand what lucid dreaming is all about. In fact you may be thoroughly sceptical and dismiss the whole thing as silly nonsense. But I can tell you from personal experience that lucid dreams are very real and something that many millions of people regularly enjoy. Note: Due to the huge amount of interest that this post has generated I am now seriously considering writing a book on the subject, and I would welcome input from anyone with an interest. If you have any anecdotes, suggestions, dreams or anything else you’d like to share with me for possible inclusion in the book, please email me. Your contribution can be anonymous and you may change any and all names/characters as you wish. Lucid dreaming is when you experience full consciousness while dreaming. You may also have another question on your mind, along the lines of “What’s the big deal with being conscious while dreaming, anyway?” Experiencing a lucid dream
You, Only Better - The New York Times Dave Asprey does not like infomercials. He didn’t want our conversation to feel like one, he said, raising both hands in a gesture of innocence, like a magician showing there was nothing up his sleeve. But once he planted the suggestion, it wouldn’t go away. There was the register of his voice, oscillating between breathy and enthusiastic, and the complete absence of qualifiers to soften his bold claims.
