Brain Function, Anatomy & Diagram Much of the brain's physiological task involves receiving information from the rest of the body, interpreting that information, and then guiding the body's response to it. Types of input the brain interprets include odors, light, sounds, and pain. The brain also helps perform vital operations such as breathing, maintaining blood pressure, and releasing hormones (chemical signals that control certain cells and organs). The brain is divided into sections. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. The cerebellum is below and behind the cerebrum and is attached to the brain stem. The functions the brain stem governs include respiration, blood pressure, some reflexes, and the changes that happen in the body during what is called the “fight or flight” response. The diencephalon is inside the cerebrum above the brain stem. The brain is protected from damage by several layers of defenses. Still, the brain can suffer damage, become diseased, or malfunction.
Being Lonely Can Warp Your Health And Your Genes Loneliness has been linked to everything from heart disease to Alzheimer's disease. Depression is common among the lonely. Cancers tear through their bodies more rapidly, and viruses hit them harder and more frequently. In the short term, it feels like the loneliness will kill you. A study suggests that's because the pain of loneliness activates the immune pattern of a primordial response commonly known as fight or flight. For decades, researchers have been seeing signs that the immune systems of lonely people are working differently. That seemed to provide a link to a lot of the poor health outcomes associated with loneliness, since chronic inflammation has been linked to everything from cancer to depression. But it still doesn't explain how or why loneliness could change our bodies. Cole noticed that when people felt lonesome, they had significantly higher levels of norepinephrine coursing through their blood. In the world of cubicles and studio apartments, loneliness is everywhere.
Why do blood types matter? - Natalie S. Hodge As with most topics in human genetics, blood type is more complicated than it appears on the surface. There are other human blood groups that are less common than the ABO blood group. For example, the Bombay Phenotype is a recessive condition in which the precursor of the A or B antigen, the H antigen, is not made. There have been other stories of people with extremely rare blood.

They make up our internal biographies—the stories we tell ourselves about what we've done with our lives. They tell us who we're connected to, who we've touched during our lives, and who has touched us. In short, our memories are crucial to the essence of who we are as human beings. That means age-related memory loss can represent a loss of self. What causes some people to lose their memory while others stay sharp as a tack? Are certain kinds of "brain work" more effective than others?
Joe Biden's Stutter, and Mine His eyes fall to the floor when I ask him to describe it. We’ve been tiptoeing toward it for 45 minutes, and so far, every time he seems close, he backs away, or leads us in a new direction. There are competing theories in the press, but Joe Biden has kept mum on the subject. I want to hear him explain it. I ask him to walk me through the night he appeared to lose control of his words onstage. To hear more feature stories, see our full list or get the Audm iPhone app. “I—um—I don’t remember,” Biden says. We’re in Biden’s mostly vacant Washington, D.C., campaign office on an overcast Tuesday at the end of the summer. Then came the second debate, at the end of July, in Detroit. Detroit was Biden’s chance to regain control of the narrative. He stopped. Fox News edited these moments into a mini montage. Several days later, Biden’s team got back in touch with me. “So how are you, man?” Biden is in his usual white button-down and navy suit, a flag pin on the left lapel. Biden looks down. “Yes.”

In Praise of Missing Out: Psychoanalyst Adam Phillips on the Paradoxical Valu... “In the gap between who we wish one day to be and who we are at present, must come pain, anxiety, envy and humiliation,” Alain de Botton wrote in his meditation on Nietzsche and why a fulfilling life requires difficulty. “We are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not,” Joan Didion wrote in contemplating the value of keeping a notebook. But we are just as well advised, it turns out, to keep on nodding terms with the people we could’ve been, the people we never were, the people who perished in the abyss between our ideal selves and our real selves. So argues psychoanalyst Adam Phillips in Missing Out: In Praise of the Unlived Life (public library) — a fascinating read, acutely relevant to our culture so plagued by the fear of missing out that we’ve shorthanded it to “FOMO.” The unexamined life is surely worth living, but is the unlived life worth examining?
