Podcasts about brain wiring

In this episode, I talk about how to wire your brain intentionally.

Jenny reflects on parents' questions about why they would need to be involved in addressing a child's symptoms if it is from the child's genetics or brain wiring. Even when genetics plays a part, the research points to the important influence of the child's environment. Parents can impact the environment in many growth-enhancing ways – this is the basis of building parent hope.The book mentioned is: Hudson, J. L., & Rapee, R. M. (Eds.). (2005).

Transformational research techniques shaping our understanding of how the brain works.Guest Karl Deisseroth is a bioengineer and a psychiatrist who has developed two of the most transformational research techniques shaping our understanding of how the brain works — optogenetics, which allows neuroscientists to control brain cells with light, and CLARITY, a way to render the brain's gray matter transparent yet retain all its intricate wiring for easier study.  There is a vast chasm between neuroscience and psychiatry, Deisseroth says of the reasons he felt compelled to develop technology ahead of pursuing science. It was never a trade-off of one over the other, however. It was simply where we had to go to get better at the science, Deisseroth tells fellow bioengineer and host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Chapters:(00:00:00)  Introduction to Karl DeisserothRuss Altman introduces the episode and Karl Deisseroth, highlighting his roles as a professor of bioengineering and psychiatry.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.08.26.505432v1?rss=1 Authors: Andriatsilavo, M., Dumoulin, A., Dutta, S., Stoeckli, E. T., Hiesinger, P. R., Hassan, B. A. Abstract: Developmental variation in brain-wiring contributes to behavioural individuality1,2. However, how and when individualized wiring diagrams emerge and become stable during development remains largely unknown. Here, we explored axon targeting dynamics in individual brains using live-imaging of a developing Drosophila visual circuit and discovered that targeting choice is an algorithmic multi-step growth process with variable outcomes. Using optogenetics, we found that temporally restricted Notch lateral-inhibition defines a subset of neurons with a probabilistic potential to innervate distal targets. Next, axons from NotchOFF neurons amplify into long actin-rich multi-fibre structures necessary for distal growth. A subset of these NotchOFF neurons create distal targeting axons by stabilizing microtubule growth in one of their actin fibres. Amplified axons without tubulin-stabilized fibres retract, resulting in the stochastic selection of a different number of distal targeting axons in each brain. Pharmacological microtubule destabilization suffices to inhibit this targeting. We observed a similar axonal amplification-stabilization process in the developing chick spinal cord, suggesting a conserved mechanism. Finally, early microtubule patterns predict the adult brain- wiring of an individual in a target-independent manner prior to synapse formation3,4. Thus, we show that a temporal succession of genetically encoded stochastic processes explains the emergence of individual wiring variation. Copy rights belong to original authors.

In this episode, I speak with Executive Coach, and Faculty member of ADD Coach Acadamy, Sherri Cannon. She shares how she moved from up the corporate ladder from sales to becoming a leadership development Coach/Facilitator in Silicon Valley. Like my previous guests, Sherri was also diagnosed with Adult ADHD late in life. During this episode we talk about: how ADHD can hold you back from reaching your ultimate potential and impact your work/business Understanding what your style of learning is and how you can tap into your strengths so you can succeed at work the importance of actively understanding your brain so that you make it work for you instead of you being reactive to it, especially in times of stress, change and transition How to address the imposter syndrome when it comes to ADHD and how working with the right coach you can remove limiting thoughts that have held you back About Sherri Cannon This is how I became an ADHD coach. In career #1, I was a consumer products sales rep/manager (that’s a classy way of saying I sold soap and fabric softener to grocery stores and loved it). In the second, I traveled the public seminar circuit leading communication and leadership skills workshops around North America. When I developed a love for change management work with business teams, it took me to Silicon Valley, home of fast companies, geeks and a higher than average percentage of neuro-diverse folks. As an Executive Coach and Group Facilitator, I found my people and my calling. About that time, I also got my own ADHD diagnosis. In 2015, I added ADHD coaching to my practice. I’ve found my happy place here — coaching leaders, individual contributors, entrepreneurs, retirees, and career seekers to live more fulfilling lives by understanding and partnering effectively with their unique brain wiring. As you can see from my own path, going toward what calls and interests me has opened new cool doors. As I went through my own ADDCA training, I hoped I’d one day teach others and help them experience the richness and reassurance of this ADHD community. When ADDCA invited me to join the faculty in 2018, it was the perfect intersection of my love of teaching with my desire to share this wealth with other learners. In 2019, I proudly joined the PAAC Board of Directors as Volunteer Chair and I look forward to starting my PAAC accreditation process in 2020.

Where God's grace meets your need.

Where God's grace meets your need.

Have you tried to produce specific results in your life, failed to do so, and you were then told you had some sort of limiting or sabotaging belief in your subconscious mind that was blocking you? Or that something about the way your brain is wired was blocking you? If your answer is "Yes!" ... Have you ever wondered why that is? Ever wondered why there would be blocks like that buried deeply inside you? I'm not talking about the psychological or scientific explanations for it, which are plentiful. I'm talking about what's behind those explanations, The Real and True Reason we all have hidden blocks like that, and what absolutely MUST happen first, if and before those blocks are ever going to be removed. In this episode, I take a brutally honest look at this fascinating topic. I truly believe this audio is one you will not want to miss! It could change so many things for you ... Boom ...

She has been an editor at the websites Styleclick, Dipdive and The Fix, an assistant editor at Parenting and a staff writer for Premiere. In 2011, she created the storytelling show True Tales of Lust and Love (the inspiration for the True Tales book), which she hosted through its entire two-year run. In 2013, Anna created the AfterParty website, which is made up of articles, videos and a podcast focused on de-stigmatizing addiction and developing healthier relationships. She sold the site in 2014 but continues to run it and its parent site, RehabReviews. She speaks on television and at colleges across the country on addiction and relationships and is on the board of The Peggy Albrecht Friendly House, the oldest women’s recovery house in the US. Anna David Vroom Veer Stories Anna and I both drank starting at an early age...replacing booze with water from our parents' liquor cabinets. For Anna, everything seemed fine until she found herself with a cocaine habit in her mid-twenties. When she got into recovery she realized she was an alcoholic as well as a drug addict. Addiction with "Normies" vs. addiction with addicts - Anna thinks this is an oxymoron.  An addict is an addict whereas normies have bad habits that they can fix themselves if they choose to. Brain Wiring from Childhood - One of the major contributing factors of addiction as a disease. Anna believes there is a genetic predisposition for addiction as a disease and childhood experience can exacerbate or diminish that predisposition She learned in recovery that there is "something bigger" running the show, which helped her want to quit drugs, alcohol, and later smoking. Do you meditate?  Yes, Vedic Meditation It's normal for your mind to wander while you are meditating, you just come back to the mantra or the breath Depression.  Were you depressed?  Yes!  For Anna, she was depressed but never suicidal. We share a moment about being depressed and looking at people who are "ok" and thinking..."what's wrong with me?" Why "Fuck it" was a "step up" from depression for Jeff. Are the 12-steps enough for you? For some people 12-steps can be enough, for Anna, she's a big advocate for therapy. Anna David Links RehabReview.com Afterparty Pod AnnaDavid.com
