En este episodio, resumo un artículo reciente (2023) de John Krakauer y Tamar Makin sobre la reorganización cortical. Es un artículo crítica a este concepto tan famoso y vanagloriado en neurociencia y se aportan datos que apoyan esta crítica mencionando estudios clásicos en animales y humanos. Estudios sobre ceguera congénita, experimentos en gatos y hurones, amputados y reorganización tras un ictus. Krakauer propone su definición y criterios de reorganización cortical y en base a eso refuta los estudios que afirman la reorganización. Referencias del episodio: 1. Makin, T. R., & Krakauer, J. W.

Dr. Bray concludes the Train your Brain three-part series with specific tools and information on how to train your brain. Dr. Bray dives into the weeds (or should we say synapses?) to provide the information you need. Forty percent of published studies on the brain deal with brain plasticity. There is a reason for that; researchers want to understand how the brain learns, changes, and influences the person you are now and the individual that you can become. The brain is continuously changing, many, many times, every day. The brain changes throughout your life, and it changes itself as a function of use. It is continuously revising and remodeling itself throughout your whole life. This informs our endowed human capacity to change and our human potential for lifelong personal growth. Everyone wants to change something about themselves, and the foundation of this change is brain plasticity. Learn what is new and upcoming in this fascinating field. Thanks to Dr. Michael Merzenich and his incredible brain for the research, words, and insight for this podcast. Dr. Bray heard Dr. Merzenich speak at Harvard and knew they would become friends. *Jordan Peterson: Self-Authoring Program (https://www.selfauthoring.com)

Strategies for rapidly and inexpensively identifying neurological/psychiatric weakness and distortion—combined with genomics and increasingly more sophisticated chemical analyses of blood and other body fluids—now provide us with simple, scalable strategies for delineating specific aspects of preclinical stages of neurological and psychiatric disorders. In parallel, we have an increasing understanding of how to engage the plastic brain in ways that reverse those weaknesses and distortions on a path to neurological normalcy. The word for broadly achieving such renormalization is prevention—or in already diagnosed patients, cure—two goals that up to now have rarely been achieved in brain-targeted medicine. This scientific explosion foretells a rapid transformation from a treatment-based to prevention-based brain medicine era. Dr. Michael Merzenich is an emeritus UCSF professor who is broadly recognized for his seminal research in the science of neuroplasticity, and for his team's efforts to translate this research into improvements in brain performance and organic brain health in normal and in variously struggling child and adult populations. He also led a UCSF team that developed the modern cochlear implant. Merzenich has published several hundred papers in prestigious scientific journals; been awarded nearly 70 U.S. patents; with UCSF's permission, co-founded 3 companies focused on the translation of this research for human benefit; and has received many international prizes and awards for his teams' ground-breaking research.

Do we really become forgetful as we get older? Is cognitive decline inevitable? The "Godfather of Neuroplasticity" explains why everything you think you know about the aging brain just may be wrong. He shares the good news for all of us.

Do we really become forgetful as we get older? Is cognitive decline inevitable? The "Godfather of Neuroplasticity" explains why everything you think you know about the aging brain just may be wrong. He shares the good news for all of us.

Dr. Michael Merzenich is the professor emeritus neuroscientist at the University of California San Francisco. He is also a co-founder, chairman and chief scientific officer of Posit Science, the makers of BrainHQ, an online brain exercises and assessments program. The BrainHQ app is used in more than 150 countries to help users improve their brain health. Dr. Merzenich is credited with the seminal experiments that showed the brain is “plastic” – capable of chemical, physical and functional change – throughout life. Prior to his work, scientists believed the brain was only plastic during the development stage of childhood and then was destined to wear out over time. He is also the first person to harness plasticity for human benefit with his co-invention of the cochlear implant which has restored hearing to hundreds of thousands of people with deafness for the past 30 years. He is the author and co-author of more than 100 science and medical journal articles and is on more than 100 patents. Dr. Merzenich has also helped to co-author several science and medical books for lay audiences. He wrote the book ‘Soft-Wired: How the New Science of Brain Plasticity Can Change Your Life.' Topics covered in this episode: · What does it mean to have a “plastic” brain? · What are some of the bad habits that are causing the brain to age faster? · The positive effects of the outdoors and loving people. · Exercise your brain to speed it up. · What kind of brain exercises are in the BrainHQ app? · How the brain can change itself even in an illness like Autism. Referenced in the episode: · ‘The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science' by Norman Doidge · ‘Grit The Power of Passion and Perseverance' by: Angela Duckworth · The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali by Sri Swami Satchidananda For Dr. Merzenich's BrainHQ app, head over to: www.brainhq.com 88% of Americans suffer from metabolic disease and don't even know it.

Your health and medical conditions have a profound effect on your ability to live long and live well. You can't live a long life if you get sick and die. And, it is much harder to enjoy your long life if you struggle with chronic and debilitating diseases. In this episode we take a look at medical factors that influence your quest for Qualongevity. There are, basically, four ways to deal with disease and injury: prevention, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Each is important, depending up your state of health. The most effective strategy, of course, is to prevent injury and disease from taking hold in the first place. While there are myriad age-related medical conditions that undermine health and happiness, we focus on two of the big ones in this episode: dementia and chronic inflammation. We examine the true nature of neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's and discuss sensible approaches to lowering your risk of succumbing to these conditions. Chronic inflammation has recently been identified as a major risk factor for dementia and a whole host of other diseases. Your ability to control and minimize chronic inflammation, therefore, is a highly effective way to improve your health and well-being as you age. Medical Factors Chapters: Introduction4 Approaches: Prevention, Diagnosis, Treatment & ManagementDementiaThe Nature of Neurodegenerative Diseases – Michael MerzenichTypes of Alzheimer's – Dale BredesenBrain on Fire – Chronic InflammationThe Jeckyl & Hyde Nature of InflammationThe Causes of Chronic InflammationStrategies to Avoid Chronic InflammationChange is Hard – So is IllnessConclusion

Michael Merzenich, PhD, a world-renowned neuroscientist, is the “father” of brain plasticity science. Dr. Merzenich was awarded the 2016 Kavli Prize in Neuroscience, for his work in discovering adult brain plasticity and applying its principles to improve the human condition.In this episode, Anat Baniel and Michael Merzenich discuss: how brain plasticity can be used to improve your life at any age;the key is to wake up the brain and provide the conditions for it to learn and evolve;“miraculous” changes can happen in a relatively short period of time;how trauma can impact the brain, and the role of brain training and the 9 Essentials in healing; brain and body health are not separate—movement is cognition;related questions from the audience.

Can the adult brain change for the better? In todays episode the friendly and knowledgeable Michael Merzenich tells us all about Neuroplasticity (the brains ability to change), the physical underpinnings of the changing brain, what happens to the brain as it gets older, brain training and a lot more. Professor Emeritus Michael Merzenich have published more than 150 articles in scientific journals (some in Science and Nature) and received numerous awards and prizes. An example is one of the world’s top neuroscience prizes named the Kavli prize. He is also the brain behind BrainHQ (a brain training company) and the author of the book Soft-Wired. Have a terrific day.  

Welcome back to another episode of Mental Mastery, where today I am joined by one of the world`s leading authorities on brain fitness and neuroplasticity, Dr. Michael Merzenich. He is not only the brain behind Brain HQ, a leading brain fitness program, but also the author of Softwired: How the New Science of Brain Plasticity Can Change Your Life. In nearly 50 years of world-leading research on how our brains can change, Dr. Merzenich has helped invent the cochlear implant, published over 150 scientific papers on brain plasticity, and helped people all over the world to build better brains. Max Out Insights: Out brain`s adaptability//plasticity is our greatest gift that allows us to thrive in virtually any environment There is usually no management of brain health, people simply wait for disaster and then try to heal it The more demands you place upon your brain, the stronger and more effective it will become Max Out Quotes: “The brain changes physically and functionally as a result of how you use it. It`s a very modestly formed machine when you`re born, and then improves its processing capacity.” “One of the ways in which brain differences are expressed is in the very elemental processing ability that the brain is capable of achieving. How reliable is it? How fast is it? How accurate is it? Reliability, accuracy, and speed are an indication of how healthy your brain is physically.” “If your brain is healthy and active, one of the first things it does is upregulate the brightness and aliveness that commands your day. You wake up in the morning, you`re eager for life, and you live life with the lights on. You control the dimmer switch.” “Everything positive and negative in life shouldn`t be limited to what we see on a screen.”

Michael Merzenich, PhD, a world-renowned neuroscientist, is the “father” of brain plasticity science. Dr. Merzenich was awarded the 2016 Kavli Prize in Neuroscience, for his work in discovering adult brain plasticity and applying its principles to improve the human condition. In this podcast, Anat interviews Dr. Merzenich, who has been a big supporter of NeuroMovement® and the 9 Essentials. He states: “Anat Baniel has developed powerful, practical strategies for improving your abilities and building a better, stronger brain supported by the neuroscience of brain plasticity.”In this episode, Anat Baniel and Michael Merzenich discuss:the brain is built for change, and every person should take advantage of this fact;dramatic changes can occur across time, even with the most damaged brains, if you use effective strategies for positive brain change;Dr. Merzenich’s research and interventions for children who have been traumatized in early life, and the development of brain training programs for kids;the importance of starting with where a person is at—with what she or he CAN do—and then move forward from there;the power of Slow and Enthusiasm Essentials and why they are potent tools for learning and positive brain change;pre-submitted questions from the audience.

You’re probably already convinced of the importance of physical exertion, going outside, and staying physically fit and active. But what about your mental fitness and health?To get each of us thinking more clearly about the things we should — and shouldn’t — be doing to optimize the health of our bodies and our brains, we talk to the neuroscientist, Dr. Michael Merzenich, about how, through training, we can keep up and improve the health of our brains — just as we know that, through proper exercise, we can keep up and improve the health of our bodies.We discuss with Dr. Merzenich the important neurological benefits of going fast, going outside, and undertaking new activities; the more effective and less effective ways to exercise our brains; how we might be able to avoid certain neurological disorders with proper training; the changes to our brains caused by the time so many of us — and our kids — are spending in front of phone, computer, and TV screens; and more.TOPICS & TIMES:Dr. Merzenich’s background (4:22)Discoveries in “neuroplasticity” (10:42)Outdoor sports & your brain (17:44)Exercising your brain vs. gathering information (24:58)Preventing neurological disorders through training (37:07)Generosity & Joy - their neurological significance (45:47)How screens & social media are changing our brains (49:46) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dr. Michael Merzenich, PhD, is one of the neuroscientists responsible for our current understanding of brain plasticity–the notion that the brain can change itself at any age. He is also the author of Soft-Wired: How the New Science of Brain Plasticity Can Change Your Life.  In this episode listen and discover: How you can improve your auditory listening abilities with neuroplasticity-based training to sharply improve your conversational, cognitive, speech and music abilities. How training your brain as a master listener also refines your attentive powers and amplifies your baseline level of arousal-your “brightness.” Evidence that these gains are attributable to strong, positive, enduring physical changes in your brain. The trained brain is a stronger, better brain. How combining auditory training and brain training in the other great perceptual and action-control domains, you can rejuvenate a struggling brain-and if taken seriously, can assure a more effective, happier, and more secure adult life.

Do you believe you can change? How much do you really believe it? And what if someone asked you how to do it? As it turns out, science has a lot to say about it, and few people can say it with more authority than Dr. Michael Merzenich. Dr. Merzenich's work as a neuroscientist over the past 50 years changed the way we view the brain. His efforts disproved mainstream science's belief that the brain became hardwired at a young age. Armed with this knowledge, he sought to practically apply it to help people.  Through several enterprises, his tools have benefited countless people around the globe, helping them regain their hearing, recover from brain trauma, and reverse the effects of mental illness and dementia.

Neuroscience research over the past several decades has revolutionized our understanding of the change processes in the brain that underlie the development and elaboration of our skills and abilities in younger life, and that account for their predictable, progressive decline at an older age. Neuroplasticity studies also provide us with important new insights into strategies for overcoming those losses, and for managing our brain health all across the span of our lives. Our goal is to explain how this science relates to YOUR health--and to explain how the great personal endowment of "brain plasticity" contributes to YOUR potential for continuous personal growth.

Did you know your brain was capable of lifelong change? Are you aware that YOU are the controler of that change? My guest this week explains all. Dr Michael Merzenich is a world-renowned neuroscientist. Often called the 'father of brain plasticity', he is one of the scientists responsible for our current understanding of brain change across lifespan. In this episode Dr Merzenich explains brain plasticity and the changes that accompany growth and development. He discusses how specifically engaging the brain encourages plasticity to improve brain repair and brain aging. He describes how training the brain can be accomplished in daily life or supplemented with specifically-designed, computer-based training. The ability of brain training to avert or improve potential neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's, is a major topic. Dr Merzenich provides some very persuasive experimental data to back it up. We discuss the importance of the signal to noise ratio in brain aging, and how to improve it. We talk about the role of neuroplasticity in changing thought, the role emotions play in triggering plasticity and a few rules for living a brain healthy life. In this uplifting, educational and entertaining episode, Dr Merzenich imparts the message 'You have the capacity to be better or stronger, never mind what you've had to put up with'.For loads more information go to the Brain HQ website BrainHQ.comRead Dr Merzenich's book, supported by the website Soft-Wired.comSee his TED talk here on YouTube

Professor emeritus at the University of California San Francisco, Dr. Michael Merzenich, is a world authority on neuroscience and brain plasticity. He is the co-founder of Posit Science and Scientific Learning, and has recently released a new book called Soft-Wired. Dr Merzenich has done several Ted Talks and a truly understandable brainiac. Even more interesting […] The post A New Spin on Autism: Answers! – Are We Stuck With What We Got or Is Brain Plasticity More Than Just A Catch Phrase? appeared first on WebTalkRadio.net.

Dr. Michael Merzenich studies neuroplasticity – the brain's powerful ability to change itself and adapt – and investigates ways plasticity might be used to heal injured brains and enhance the skills in healthy ones. Merzenich has studied how brains develop for more than three decades. His research has shown that the brain retains its ability to alter itself well into adulthood – suggesting that brains with injuries or disease might be able to recover function, even later in life. He has also explored the way the senses are mapped in regions of the brain and the way sensations teach the brain to recognize new patterns. Merzenich is trying to bring the powerful plasticity of the brain into practical use through technologies and methods that harness it to improve learning. He founded Scientific Learning Corporation, which markets and distributes educational software for children based on models of brain plasticity. He is co-founder and chief science officer of Posit Science, which creates "brain training" software also based on his research. That software, sold commercially under the names Brain Fitness Program and InSight, is supposed to strengthen memory, attention, language skills and visual-spatial abilities in aging adults. “This is the beginning of a revolution,” Merzrnich told The New York Times in June. Studies have shown improvement in those who use the software. Some critics, however, are not convinced that the gains translate into long-term benefits that can be generalized to daily challenges such as remembering where the car is parked. In the 1980s, Merzenich was on the team that invented the cochlear implant to restore hearing for the severely deaf. Merzenich is professor emeritus of neuroscience at the University of California, San Francisco. He has published more than 200 articles, received numerous awards and prizes and holds more than 50 patents. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1999 and is a member of the Institute of Medicine.

Die Lese-Rechtschreibschwäche (LRS) ist durch eine spezifische Störung des Erlernens der Schriftsprache bei normaler Intelligenz und adäquater Unterrichtung gekennzeichnet und betrifft mindestens 4 % der Bevölkerung. Eine familiäre Belastung wird häufig beobachtet, dennoch sind Ätiologie und Pathophysiologie dieser Störung unbekannt. Immer mehr Forschergruppen haben sich in den letzten Jahren mit den Ursachen von Lese-Rechtschreibschwierigkeiten auseinandergesetzt. In zahlreichen Studien an Patienten mit einer Aphasie nach linkshemisphärischen Verletzungen der Großhirnrinde (Efron 1963, Tallal & Newcombe 1978, v. Steinbüchel et al. 1999), Kindern mit Sprachentwicklungsstörungen (Tallal & Piercy 1973), sowie Kindern und Erwachsenen mit Dyslexie (Tallal 1980, Hari & Kiesilä 1996, Überblick bei Farmer & Klein 1995) konnten Defizite in der zeitlichen Verarbeitung schnell dargebotener Stimuli nachgewiesen werden. So benötigen Legastheniker deutlich längere Interstimulusintervalle um vor allem jene Konsonanten wahrzunehmen, deren Formanten einen raschen Wechsel durchmachen. Zur Beurteilung zeitlicher Verarbeitungsmechanismen wird dabei häufig die Ordnungsschwelle bestimmt. Sie ist definiert als die Dauer eines Interstimulusintervalls, die notwendig ist, um zwei zeitlich aufeinander folgende Reize zu unterscheiden und sie in ihre zeitliche Reihenfolge zu bringen. Basierend auf diesen empirischen Beobachtungen wird der kausale Zusammenhang zwischen Zeitverarbeitungsdefiziten und Störungen der Laut- und Schriftsprache diskutiert und veranlasste einige Forschergruppen zur Entwicklung von geeigneten Trainingsmethoden. Diese hatten nicht nur das Ziel, die zeitliche Diskriminationsfähigkeit rasch aufeinander folgender Stimuli zu steigern, sondern auch gleichzeitig die laut- und schriftsprachlichen Leistungen zu verbessern (Merzenich et al. 1996, v. Steinbüchel 1995, Warnke 1993). Allerdings wird die Effektivität dieser Trainingsverfahren von einigen Autoren in Frage gestellt, zumal viele der bisher veröffentlichten Studien methodische Mängel aufweisen und eine Interpretation der Ergebnisse erschweren. In dieser Arbeit sollte nun geprüft werden, ob die zeitliche Diskriminationsfähigkeit durch ein Zeitverarbeitungstraining tatsächlich verbessert werden kann und ob dann auch Transferleistungen auf das Lesen und Rechtschreiben zu verzeichnen sind. In der vorliegenden Studie wurden leserechtschreibschwache und sprachentwicklungsgestörte Kinder der 5. Jahrgangsstufe untersucht. Es erfolgte eine zufällige Aufteilung der Stichprobe in Trainings- und Kontrollgruppe. Die zeitliche Diskriminationsfähigkeit wurde mittels Bestimmung der auditiven und visuellen Ordnungsschwelle sowie des Richtungshörens untersucht. Hierzu diente das Trainingsgerät Brain-Boy-Universal der Firma MediTECH sowohl zur Erhebung diagnostischer Daten als auch dem Training der Zeitverarbeitungsparameter. Die Datenerhebungen zur Eingangsdiagnostik, ersten und zweiten Retest wurden in drei Untersuchungsblöcke unterteilt und betrafen beide Gruppen. Zwischen Eingangstest und ersten Retest fand nur für die Trainingsgruppe die achtwöchige zusätzliche Trainingsphase der Parameter Ordnungsschwelle und Richtungshören statt. Die Erhebung des zweiten Retests erfolgte nach sechs trainingsfreien Monaten. Beide Gruppen nahmen während der gesamten Untersuchungszeit am üblichen Schul- und Förderunterricht teil. Ein Gruppenvergleich vor Trainingsbeginn ergab für die Ordnungsschwelle und das Richtungshören, sowie in den Lesetests keine signifikanten Gruppenunterschiede. Lediglich die Kontrollgruppe zeigte im Rechtschreiben signifikant bessere Testleistungen (p £ .019) im Vergleich zur Trainingsgruppe. Beim Vergleich der Verläufe wurde diese Ausgangswertdiskrepanz unter Einbezug der Kovariaten des Ausgangswertes berücksichtigt. Nach dem Training kamen wir zu folgendem Ergebnis. Durch das Zeitverarbeitungstraining wird vor allem bei Kindern mit hohen Ordnungsschwellenwerten eine deutliche Verringerung der auditiven und visuellen Ordnungsschwelle bewirkt. Dieser Trainingserfolg korreliert offenbar mit dem Training selbst und entbehrt sich einer Dauerhaftigkeit unter Trainingsabstinenz. Dagegen wird mit dem Training des Richtungshörvermögens kein Erfolg erzielt. Hinsichtlich der Rechtschreibleistungen zeigte der Gruppenvergleich vom Ausgangstest zum ersten Retest einen hoch signifikanten Unterschied. Dieser kam deshalb zustande, weil sich die Kontrollgruppe unmittelbar nach dem Training hoch signifikant verschlechterte, während gleichzeitig die Trainingsgruppe keine signifikante Veränderung zeigte. Bei der Analyse der langfristigen Veränderungen zwischen beiden Gruppen präsentierten allerdings sowohl die Kontroll- als auch die Trainingsgruppe eine Leistungsverbesserung, welche wahrscheinlich durch den fortgeführten Schul- und Förderunterricht herbeigeführt wurde. Deshalb ist eine alleinige Rückführung auf ein Zeitverarbeitungstraining nicht möglich. Bezüglich des Lesens kann davon ausgegangen werden, dass ein Zeitverarbeitungstraining zu keiner deutlichen Steigerung der Lesegeschwindigkeit und Verbesserung der Lesesicherheit geführt hatte. Der grenzwertige Signifikanzfall betreffend des kurzfristigen Trainingseffektes auf die Lesesicherheit in einem einzigen Fehlertest (PLT-Fehler) ist unter Berücksichtigung, dass mehrere Signifikanzberechnungen erfolgten (Alpha-Fehler), nicht mehr signifikant. Schließlich lassen die Befunde der Erhebungen vom ersten zum zweiten Retest keinen Hinweis für einen anhaltenden Trainingseffekt zu, denn die Trainingsgruppe zeigte hierbei sogar eine Verschlechterung in der Lesesicherheit. Da im Gesamtverlauf vom Ausgangstest zum zweiten Retest beide Gruppen in Lesegeschwindigkeit und Lesesicherheit besser geworden sind, wird letztlich eine Leistungsverbesserung basierend auf einem Zeitverarbeitungstraining widerlegt und auf den fortgeführten Schul- und Förderunterricht zurückgeführt. Die schriftlichen Befragungen von Eltern, Lehrern und Kindern zum Thema Zeitverarbeitungstraining lieferten kein einheitliches Bild. Während die Eltern mehrheitlich den Trainingseinfluss trotz fehlender objektivierbarer Trainingseffekte vorwiegend positiv beurteilten und zudem die Fortführung eines Ordnungsschwellentrainings befürworteten, standen Lehrer und Kinder dem Training eher ablehnend gegenüber. Unser Nachweis über die Trainierbarkeit der Ordnungsschwelle erbrachte weitgehend mit der Literatur übereinstimmende Ergebnisse. Eine Stabilität der unmittelbar trainierten Zeitverarbeitungsparameter Ordnungsschwelle und Richtungshören ließ sich über einen längeren Zeitraum nicht bestätigen. Transferleistungen auf Lesen und Rechtschreiben konnten nicht beobachtet werden. Somit ist nicht davon auszugehen, dass die aufgrund von Zeitverarbeitungstherapien berichteten Verbesserungen spezifische Effekte eines Zeitverarbeitungstrainings sind. Da Therapieversuche kausaler Art weiterhin umstritten bleiben und die Lese-Rechtschreibstörung auf unspezifischen Einflussfaktoren beruht, wäre eine symptomorientierte Therapie am sinnvollsten.
