Send us a Text Message.Welcome to Headfirst: A Concussion Podcast. In this episode we delve into the realms of neuroscience, sports, and youth development. We are honoured to have Dr. Julie Stamm, a distinguished Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, as our esteemed guest. Dr. Stamm's journey through academia is nothing short of inspiring. With her doctorate from the prestigious Boston University School of Medicine in Anatomy and Neurobiology, she embarked on a ground-breaking path, delving into the intricate workings of the human brain. Her tenure at the Psychiatry Neuroimaging Laboratory at Harvard Medical School, alongside Boston University, further solidified her expertise in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and the profound, long-term ramifications of repetitive head impacts in youth sports.  Dr. Stamm's contributions extend far beyond the confines of academia. Her seminal work, "The Brain on Youth Sports: The Science, The Myths, and the Future," has become a cornerstone in understanding the complex interplay between sports participation and neurological health in young athletes, whilst also continuing as an Athletic Trainer.  Today, we have the privilege of delving into the depths of her research, shedding light on the truths, dispelling the myths, and envisioning a brighter, safer future for youth sports. -       Introduction -       About Dr Julie Stamm (1:24)-       What Is a Concussion (3:20)-       Sub concussive Impacts?

Slack your lines and start hacking those sacks because this episode we're covering the cerebellum, and turns out, we ADHDers need all the balancing practice we can get.    Kristin is dropping a digestible meat nugget of brain anatomy before leading us through the latest research that shows how a smaller cerebellum affects mental coordination in addition to physical movement (which explains oh so much).    We also share activities for strengthening the cerebellum, encourage you to take up juggling, and read a bird to absolute filth before giving the imitation performance of a lifetime.

Today, we are talking about how neurons communicate with each other via neurotransmitters and how these neurotransmitters contribute to various brainwave states. Then, we dive into different auditory stimuli that can entrain the brain to certain brainwave states, thus permitting the supposed ongoing release of certain neurotransmitters. This may ultimately affect mood, productivity, relaxation, and more! Stay tuned... this is a good one! Topics: 1. Introduction: - The potential of sound to optimize brain chemistry - Different types of auditory stimuli: music, sound frequencies, natural soundscapes, and binaural beats 2. Understanding the Brain: - Anatomy of the Central Nervous System: Neurons and Glia cells - Structure of Neurons: Cell body, axon, and dendrite - Neurotransmitters and synapses 3. Neural Communication Process: - Resting Membrane Potential and its maintenance - Stimulation of Neurons - Action Potential: - Depolarization and Repolarization - Role of Sodium and Potassium ions - Propagation of Action Potential and its role in neurotransmitter release 4. Brainwaves & Neurotransmitters: - Introduction to Brainwaves - Role of Amino Acid Neurotransmitters: GABA (inhibitory) and Glutamate (excitatory) - Different Brainwave Types: Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma waves 5. External Influences on Brainwaves: - Auditory stimuli - The concept of brainwave entrainment 6. Application & Implications: - Using brainwave entrainment to optimize various tasks: 1. Morning Meditation or Relaxation 2. Work, Problem Solving, and Analytical Thinking 3. Creative Work or Brainstorming 4. Deep Work or High-Level Information Processing 5. Breaks, Quick Naps, or Short Meditations 6. Evening Relaxation or Preparing for Sleep 7. Deep Meditation or Deep Sleep 7. Scientific Findings on Music & Brainwaves: - Mozart's Sonata in D Major for Two Pianos K448 - Beethoven's "Für Elise" - The monochord sounds and its effects - "Pleasant" music's influence on patients with depression, schizophrenia, or anxiety 8.

M. Abstract: The menopause transition has been repeatedly associated with decreased cognitive performance and increased incidence of Alzheimer's Disease (AD), particularly when it is induced surgically 1,2 or takes place at a younger age 3,4. However, there are very few studies that use neuroimaging techniques to examine the effects of these variables in aggregate and in a large sample. Here, we use data from thousands of participants from the UK Biobank to assess the relationship between menopausal status, menopause type (surgical or natural), and age at menopause with cogniton, AD, and neuroanatomical measures derived from magnetic resonance imaging. We find that for brain and cognitive measures, menopausal status, menopause type and age at surgical menopause do not impact the brain; but that there is a positive correlation between anatomy, cognition and age at non-surgical menopause. These results do not align with previous reports in the literature with smaller samples. However, we confirm that both early and surgical menopause are associated with a higher risk of developing AD, indicating that early and abrupt ovarian hormone deprivation might contribute to the development of the disorder.

Abstract: Background: Childhood maltreatment exposure (CME) can lead to adverse long term consequences for the exposed individual. Emerging evidence suggests that the long term effect of CME may be transmitted across generations, starting already during prenatal development. Methods: In this study, we measured brain grey and white matter volumes from MR images in 62 healthy neonates at 2 to 5 weeks of gestation corrected age and obtained Trauma and Distress Scale (TADS) questionnaire data from both parents. Results: We found that paternal CME associated positively with neonate supratentorial grey matter volumes while the association for the maternal TADS scores was not statistically significant. Maternal prepregnancy BMI associated with supratentorial white matter volumes, but not with parental CME. Conclusions: We are the first to report that paternal CME is linked with variation in newborn grey matter volume. Our results imply an intergenerational transmission of paternal CME to offspring. Elucidating the later relevance of these associations and mechanisms involved remains an enticing avenue for future studies. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.08.30.505916v1?rss=1 Authors: Guma, E., Beauchamp, A., Liu, S., Levitis, E., Clasen, L. S., Torres, E., Blumenthal, J., Lalonde, F., Qiu, L. R., Hrncir, H., MacKenzie-Graham, A. J., Yang, X., Arnold, A. P., Lerch, J. P., Raznahan, A. Abstract: All eutherian mammals show chromosomal sex determination with contrasting sex chromosome dosages (SCDs) between males (XY) and females (XX). Studies in transgenic mice and humans with sex chromosome trisomy (SCT) have revealed direct SCD effects on regional mammalian brain anatomy, but we lack a formal test for cross-species conservation of these effects. Here, we develop a harmonized framework for comparative structural neuroimaging and apply this to systematically profile SCD effects on regional brain anatomy in both humans and mice by contrasting groups with SCT (XXY and XYY) vs. XY controls. We show that total brain size is substantially altered by SCT in humans (significantly decreased by XXY and increased by XYY), but not in mice. Controlling for global effects reveals robust and spatially convergent effects of XXY and XYY on regional brain volume in humans, but not mice. However, mice do show subtle effects of XXY and XYY on regional volume, although there is not a general spatial convergence in these effects within mice or between species. Notwithstanding this general lack of conservation in SCT effects, we detect several brain regions that show overlapping effects of XXY and XYY both within and between species (cerebellum, parietal, and orbitofrontal cortex) - thereby nominating high priority targets for future translational dissection of SCD effects on the mammalian brain. Our study introduces a generalizable framework for comparative neuroimaging in humans and mice and applies this to achieve a cross-species comparison of SCD effects on the mammalian brain through the lens of SCT.

Brain Anatomy To understand what happens with Alzheimer's you have to know at least a little bit about the anatomy of your brain. So, in this podcast I'll teach you my version of brain anatomy ... which is unlike any anatomy lesson you could possibly imagine. You'll be shocked to discover that you can understand this anatomy lesson without even seeing any model or picture of a brain.

Trauma. Trauma. Trauma. An on call week filled with patients whose life threatening injuries make every moment and precise action count. A neurosurgeon learns neuroanatomy stroke by stroke during their training, and once learned this knowledge is forever.

How can neurodegenerative diseases be better understood to find new therapeutic techniques? Researchers use tools like deep brain stimulation and virtual reality to make new leaps. Press play to learn: The physical signs that hint at the development of Parkinson's How brain circuits can be modulated The next stages of research planned by Aasef Shaikh Aasef Shaikh, a neurologist, and neuroscientist from Daroff-Dell'Osso Ocular Motility Laboratory at Cleveland VA Medical Center, shares their experience researching neurodegenerative diseases and Parkinson's Disease particularly. By identifying key risk factors and signals that an individual may develop Parkinson's Disease, therapeutic techniques can be implemented early to begin proactive treatment. In addition, techniques like deep brain stimulation can give patients insight into their condition and allow neurologists a peek behind the curtain. Systems neuroscientists study the circuits within the brain that allow proper function throughout the body. To prevent unfortunate events like falls and slips, neuromodulators work to solve faulty brain circuits. While Parkinson's never kills the patient, the side effects do.

This episode is also available on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FapFT6f86EsSmall Business of the Show: https://clocknchain.squarespace.com/Nicehash lets's you earn money with your gaming computer: https://www.nicehash.com/?refby=eda23ada-5de2-4374-8816-3631679dbf9e The Full Rant Text [1:49]There is some confusion on what dysevidentia is.Dysevidentia is similar to but not Cognitive dissonance. Cognitive Dissonance is the feeling of discomfort people have when holding two mutually contradictory beliefs. Dysevidentia is for when people cannot feel this. I have felt Cognitive Dissonance and I suspect most listeners have felt this at some point when we were on the cusp of changing our minds.Dysevidentia is similar to but is not compartmentalization. Compartmentalization is when a person holds two mutually contradictory beliefs, but is able to compartmentalize the beliefs away in different parts of their life or different contexts. For example: an oil prospector who is also a young earth creationist. This isn't always the case, plenty of people can believe that the earth is round and flat or that the enemy is strong and weak, or other contradictory nonsense in the same context.There are dozens of other examples of mental issues people can have. Most of these are legitimate attempts to categorize issues that brains can have, and many are useful and should be investigated. However, I think these words and conditions are generally made by doctors, scientists, researchers, and other people who take their intelligence for granted. I believe that these smart people think that their ability to process evidence is the norm rather than a fortunate exception.Consider just for a moment, Does everyone in a group need to be able to process evidence for a group of humans to survive, or even thrive? Biology, and evolution specifically, love to take shortcuts on conserving energy. With our Brain using about 20% of our energy, evolution certainly has incentive to find shortcuts.So why do so many smart people insist on believing that silly things like facts, logic, and evidence are somehow more convincing to most people than emotion, tradition, or faith? These smart people even believe this counter to a lot of evidence.In the show notes I will link to some articles and studies showing how useless evidence is when it comes to changing minds. They cover cognitive dissonance, selection bias, the dunning-kruger effect, selective exposure, motivated reasoning and many others. Dysevidentia is all and none of these. The simple fact is that most people have made up their mind before they even consult the evidence.Brain 20% [3:15] - https://www.brainfacts.org/Brain-Anatomy-and-Function/Anatomy/2019/How-Much-Energy-Does-the-Brain-Use-020119Cognitiive dissonance is …, and they have a great political example [1:56] - https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/think-well/201812/why-many-people-stubbornly-refuse-change-their-mindsStanford experiment on perceptions not changing with facts - https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/02/27/why-facts-dont-change-our-mindsAn article acknowledging the powerlessness of facts to change minds - https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/03/this-article-wont-change-your-mind/519093/Gun Violence Myths, HeadLines, and Sources [4:11]Myth - Gun Violence is Down [7:28]https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/gun-violence-americaCites https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/fv9311.pdfViolence stats - https://www.statista.com/statistics/191219/reported-violent-crime-rate-in-the-usa-since-1990/Gun violence stats - https://www.statista.com/chart/16421/the-number-of-us-gun-deaths-due-to-firearms/Pros and Cons - https://gun-control.procon.org/us-gun-deaths-by-year/Good and queries police sourceshttps://www.gunviolencearchive.org/Good and queries CDC - https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2013/05/07/gun-homicide-rate-down-49-since-1993-peak-public-unaware/Myth - Banning guns won't work, Bans don't work for drugs [14:42]Wiki on Firearm Deaths - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rateWiki on Firearm Laws - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overview_of_gun_laws_by_nationHow Japan Eradicated Gun rime - https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-38365729A gun buyer testimony in Japan - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDodwo5vBfIGun Crime Prevalence in the US, Good Charts - https://www.vox.com/2015/10/1/18000444/gun-crime-us-foreign-countriesKrocodil!

Dr Jewels Balancing Program Show - August 20 2012 - (Brain Anatomy - The Hippocampus)

Healthy infants come in a range of sizes, but since growth tends to follow a fairly predictable path, physicians and new parents often refer to a growth chart to determine what’s normal. Now, researchers at the University of California, San Diego are looking to do something similar with the brain. Graduate student Chun Chieh Fan says they can use 3D imaging techniques to determine brain anatomy based on genetic heritage. "We can have a normal trajectory, given your ancestral background and we can really look at when we should feel concerned when you deviate away from this norm. So the beauty of our current result is that it can go both ways. If you give us your brain imaging, we can calculate how similar your brain to a given proportion of your ancestral background, or you can give your ancestral information and then we can predict what is the expected brain shape, given your ancestral background."

Although the neurobiology of autism has been studied for more than two decades, the majority of studies have examined brain anatomy 10 or more years after the onset of clinical symptoms. The early neural defects that cause autism remain unknown, but their signature is likely to be most evident during the first years of life when clinical symptoms are emerging. In this lecture, Eric Courchesne (UC San Diego) highlights several new findings about the neural and genomic abnormalities in autism at young ages.
