Podcasts about Neuropsychologia

When sitting, some of us cross our legs at the knee, while others do so at the ankle. According to a study published in Neuropsychologia in 1994, 62% of people cross their right leg over the left, 26% do the opposite, and 12% have no preference. Sitting with your legs crossed can be comfortable as it helps relieve weight on the buttocks and reduces excessive arching of the back. Doing it occasionally won't lead to a medical emergency, but it can actually be a relatively harmful habit. Which areas are affected? What's the impact on blood circulation? Should I stop crossing my legs altogether then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In this emergency podcast, Dr. Kay shares her unpopular position that we should all be rejecting any making or taking of sides between Ubah & Brynn, and rather look at what happened with a trauma-focused lens, which changes how we understand the events. We can understand the contexts of both Ubah & Brynn, while still holding Brynn, as well as the bystanders, accountable for what they could have improved in such a high-activation scenario. Mental Health Check-Ups are typically only available for our Patreon members, but given the importance of these topics, this episode is currently available to all listeners!Love yourselves & one another--it takes all of us working together to subvert the societal oppression we face every day

In this episode, Keely, Corrine, and Hillary discuss various life events and races before delving into recent research. First, they explore the current state of menstrual cycle research, highlighting areas of improvement and those that still have a way to go. They then discuss the impact of menstrual-related symptoms on mental health and spatial performance. As coaches, they share their approaches to addressing the menstrual cycle for athletes who menstruate, including tracking the cycle and adapting training to meet individual athletes' specific needs. Finally, they touch on Low Energy Availability (LEA) and RED-S, highlighting recent research showing that LEA can manifest in as little as 3 days. They also discuss coaching strategies for helping athletes recover from short-term and long-term LEA periods.

In this super episode, we discuss all things visualization: what are those, what are they used for, how to actually take full advantage of them (all of it is science-backed, by the way), AND we do a fifteen-minute guided visualization meditation where you'll get to meet, face to face, your future self, your Highest Self, who's living her best life (your current dream life) and wants you to see it. Get ready to see (and feel) your dreams come true in these magical fifteen minutes, and allow your Highest Self to inspire you to take aligned action starting today.RESOURCES:Clark, B.C., Mahato, N.K., Nakazawa, M., Law, T.D. and Thomas, J.S.

When sitting, some of us cross our legs at the knee, while others do so at the ankle. According to a study published in Neuropsychologia in 1994, 62% of people cross their right leg over the left, 26% do the opposite, and 12% have no preference. Sitting with your legs crossed can be comfortable as it helps relieve weight on the buttocks and reduces excessive arching of the back. Doing it occasionally won't lead to a medical emergency, but it can actually be a relatively harmful habit. Which areas are affected? What's the impact on blood circulation? Should I stop crossing my legs altogether then? To listen to the last episodes, you can click here : How do I know when to end a friendship? What is social jet lag? Are cold showers good for you?

En el episodio de hoy, hablamos del bonito mundo de la doble tarea, un área que ya de por sí tiene sus características en la sociedad en general y que en el campo de la rehabilitación es una categoría fundamental que tarde o temprano hay que abordar. El tema es extenso a más no poder y ha sido un poco complicado hacer una síntesis, ya que tenemos información de estudios tanto a nivel general de lo que implica la atención a dos tareas, críticas sociales (desde la sociología), estudios de neuropsicología y toda la parte de entrenamiento dual en terapia física y en diferentes patologías. Para esta ocasión, lo que me propongo es dar un marco cultural y sociológico inicial que creo que es importante para entender la globalidad del asunto; después voy a introducir conceptos fundamentales relacionados con la doble tarea y la idea después es transitando hacia estudios de correlatos neurales de la doble tarea y cómo podemos entrenar esa habilidad en neurorrehabilitación, sobre todo en la que concierne a la terapia física.

Lekooporne zaburzenia psychiczne, takie jak depresja, zaburzenie afektywne dwubiegunowe czy zaburzenie obsesyjno-kompulsyjne, stanowią trudność dla dzisiejszej psychiatrii. Jednakże, gdy tradycyjne metody nie przynoszą oczekiwanych rezultatów, współczesna nauka oferuje alternatywne, mniej popularne formy terapii. Jedną z nich jest przezczaszkowa stymulacja magnetyczna (TMS), nieinwazyjna i bezpieczna metoda pobudzania mózgu za pomocą impulsów elektromagnetycznych. W jaki sposób działa TMS? Jaka jest skuteczność tej metody? Czy każdy może poddać się stymulacji? Na te i wiele innych pytań odpowiada dr Weronika Dębowska, asystentka w Klinice Psychiatrycznej Warszawskiego Uniwersytetu Medycznego, absolwentka Uniwersytetu SWPS. Wszystkie spotkania odbyły się w ramach konferencji “Dni Mózgu 2023”, organizowanej przez Koło Naukowe NeuroPsyche Uniwersytetu SWPS w ramach Światowego Tygodnia Mózgu. Strefa Psyche Uniwersytetu SWPS to projekt popularyzujący wiedzę psychologiczną na najwyższym merytorycznym poziomie oraz odkrywający możliwości działania, jakie daje psychologia w różnych sferach życia zarówno prywatnego, jak i zawodowego.

This study examined the effects of a quinoa-rich diet on mediating hyperglycemia and other metabolic risk factors. Glycemic data was collected by glucose sensors operating over extended periods of time with regular prespecified recording points that could be analyzed using the functional data analysis approach to yield glucose concentrations over time. All of the participants in this pilot study were aged 65+, without a history of diabetes, and fasting glucose levels were between 100-125 mg/dL. The participants ate grains, legumes, and tuber daily while also consuming quinoa, quinoa flakes, and quinoa flour as well as biscuits, brioche, sponge cake, baguettes, sliced bread, and pasta which all had a quinoa content of 70% or greater. During the initial four weeks, the participants consumed their regular diets, then they were switched to the quinoa-based diet for the following four weeks, during this time all grains, grain-based products, legumes, and tubers were substituted with quinoa-based products without changing the overall composition of nutrients with exception to the cereal. During the study, all food products were provided to the participants who commonly consumed them. Additionally, eight recipes were introduced to the participants using quinoa substitutions. At the beginning of the study most of the participants had an overweight profile, and hypertension, 45% had high blood lipids, and 33% had one or more close family members with disease. At the end of the study glucose levels were reduced before and after the quinoa-based diet, and glycated hemoglobin levels were reduced by the end of the study, as was weight and waist circumference by slight decreases. Additional analysis revealed that multiple nutrients were associated with enhanced or reduced glucose concentrations: Gamma-tocopherol, soluble fiber insoluble dietary fiber, and ORAC were associated with enhanced glucose concentrations, while fatty acids, fructose, citric acid, cellulose, phytic acid, omega-6 PUFA, theobromine, and the proportion of total energy from proteins had a link with reduced glucose concentrations. The nutritional profile of quinoa accounts for the difference in nutritional intake between the two diet phases. Consuming more carbs increases insulin levels, and fat storage and reduces the metabolic rate causing a cycle of fat accumulation. A high-fat diet with the same amount of calories reduces insulin secretion by triggering fat turnover in the cells making free fatty acids available for use in energy production. Dietary proteins also enhance the building of lean muscle during weight loss which also helps to expend more energy and improve the overall body composition. Mediterranean diet improves immunotherapy response rates and progression-free survival in advanced melanoma, new study suggests Eating a Mediterranean diet, rich in fibre, mono-unsaturated fatty acids and polyphenols, has been associated with improved immunotherapy response rates and progression-free survival in advanced melanoma patients. University Medical Center Groningen (Netherlands), October 9, 2022 Eating a Mediterranean diet, rich in fibre, mono-unsaturated fatty acids and polyphenols, has been associated with improved immunotherapy response rates and progression-free survival in advanced melanoma patients, a new study has found.1 Experts anticipate that the diet will play an important role in the success of immunotherapy and trials are being expanded to investigate outcomes for different tumour types, including digestive cancers. A Mediterranean diet, containing mono-and polyunsaturated fats from olive oil, nuts and fish, polyphenols and fibre from vegetables, fruit, and wholegrains, was significantly associated with an improved response to immunotherapy drugs called Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors (ICIs). ICIs, which have been highly successful in treating melanoma, work by blocking immune system checkpoints, which then force the body's own T-cells to attack cancers.2 The new multi-centre study by researchers from the UK and the Netherlands, recorded the dietary intake of 91 patients with advanced melanoma, who were treated with ICI drugs and monitored their progress with regular radiographic response check-ups. As well as having a significant association with overall response rate, a Mediterranean diet was significantly associated with progression-free survival at 12 months. The study also found that eating whole grains and legumes reduced the likelihood of developing drug induced immune-related side effects, such as colitis. In contrast, red and processed meat was associated with a higher probability of immune-related side effects. Music practice can sharpen the brain University of St Andrews (Scotland) October 1, 2022 A new study by researchers at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland concludes that people who practice playing musical instruments have sharper brains because they pick up mistakes in their performance and fix them more quickly than other people. Writing about their work in a recent issue of the journal Neuropsychologia, psychologist Doctor Ines Jentzsch and colleagues suggest playing music may help guard against mental decline, either through age or disease. “Our study shows that even moderate levels of musical activity can benefit brain functioning.” For their study, the researchers compared the mental performance of musicians versus non-musicians as they challenged them to complete simple conflict tasks. There were 36 young adult participants in total, divided into four groups of 8 to 10, according to the number of accumulated hours of practicing a musical instrument over their lifetime (from “high,” over 5,000 hours, through “intermediate,” 2,000 to 5,000 hours and “low,” between 200 and 2,000 hours, to “no,” under 200 hours). The researchers tested each participant's mental ability in a single session that lasted about 2 hours. During the session, they measured the participant's reaction times to the simple mental tasks and also took various physiological measurements. Their results show that the amount of musical practice was positively linked to response speed – the more-practiced musicians responded faster than those with little or no musical training, with no loss in accuracy. “This result suggests that higher levels of musical training might result in more efficient information processing in general […] and confirms earlier reports indicating a positive link between mental speed and musical ability,” write the authors. However, what this study particularly highlights is that more hours of musical practice were also linked with “better engagement of cognitive control processes,” which came through in more efficient error and conflict detection, and reduced levels of post-error interference and post-conflict adjustments. In other words, the more practice hours musicians had accumulated, the faster their reaction times in completing mental challenges, the better they were able to recognize and correct mistakes, and the less likely they were to go back and adjust their responses when they made mistakes. “The research suggests that musical activity could be used as an effective intervention to slow, stop or even reverse age- or illness-related decline in mental functioning.” 3 Weeks Of Vitamin C Supplements Reduces Inflammation In Cystic Fibrosis Patients Oregon State University, October 6, 2022 Cystic fibrosis, being the aggressive disease that it is, often presents new clinical obstacles tied to treatment. Now, a new study by Oregon State University researchers may help improve patient outcomes, revealing that CF patients who take vitamin C supplements can help increase their uptake of vitamin E, which reduces inflammation. “Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease that is associated with increased inflammation, and like many inflammatory diseases, it comes with a large amount of oxidative stress,” says Maret Traber of OSU's Linus Pauling Institute in a university release. Traber also notes that CF patients have difficulty absorbing fat, limiting their body's ability to use fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin E. This generally means that this patient population has to take in more fat than an average person to break even. Studies have connected vitamin C to reducing inflammation and making use of oxidized vitamin E that the body wouldn't otherwise absorb. The team found that after 3.5 weeks of daily vitamin C supplementation at a dose of 1,000 milligrams, the patients had lower concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA), which is a marker of oxidative stress. Additionally, they noticed that vitamin E wasn't leaving the bloodstream as quickly. These findings aren't just promising for CF patients, but also for smokers and people with metabolic syndrome since they normally also struggle with oxidative stress in their bodies, which may also suggest that vitamin C and E supplements could help them find relief. Traber also explains that while this study reinforces that getting ample vitamin C and E through a varied and nutritious diet is important, the effects have more to do with adding high amounts of vitamin C to a healthy diet. “This study used vitamin C far in excess of what someone can easily obtain from the diet,” Traber concludes. “One thousand milligrams is the equivalent of 15 oranges or four or five medium bell peppers. But the research does suggest a high dosage may be beneficial in inflammatory conditions.” Link Found Between High-Fat, High-Calorie Diet and Pancreas Cancer University of California Los Angeles, Oct. 1, 2022 Researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center (JCCC) have found that mice made obese by being given high-calorie, high-fat diets (HFCD) developed abnormally high numbers of lesions known as pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanINs), which are known to be precursors to pancreas cancer. This is the first study to show a direct causative link in an animal model between obesity and risk of this deadly cancer. Cancer of the pancreas (scientifically known as pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma or PaCa) is one of the most deadly forms of the disease in humans. Overall five-year survival rates are approximately three to five percent and the average survival period after diagnosis is just four to six months. It is a particularly aggressive disease and often beyond the point of effective treatment by the time symptoms appear. Dr. Eibl and colleagues set out to develop diet-induced obesity and development of pancreas cancer in a set of mice and then compare them to another set of mice that are genetically identical but not given a high-fat, high-calorie diet. Obesity in these mice resembles several important clinical features of human obesity such as weight gain and disturbance of metabolism, and this mouse model was ideal for unraveling any underlying biological mechanisms of pancreas cancer that are put in motion by obesity. Mice that ate the normal diet gained an average of approximately 7.2 grams, plus or minus approximately 2.8 grams over 14 months. Mice that ate the high-fat, high-calorie diet gained an average of 15.9 grams, plus or minus 3.2grams. Mice fed the normal diet had mostly normal pancreases with very few scattered PanIN lesions. Mice fed the high-fat, high-calorie diet had significantly more PanIN lesions and fewer overall healthy pancreases. The study showed that the mice fed a diet high in fats and calories gained significantly more weight, had abnormalities of their metabolism and increased insulin levels, and had marked pancreatic tissue inflammation and development of PanIN lesions. These observations strongly suggest that such a diet leads to weight gain, metabolism disturbances, can cause pancreas inflammation and promotes pancreas lesions that are precursors to cancer. “The development of these lesions in mice is very similar to what happens in humans,” Dr. Eibl said. “These lesions take a long time to develop into cancer, so there is enough time for cancer preventive strategies, such as changing to a lower fat, lower calorie diet, to have a positive effect.” The vegetable that treated gunshot wounds National Geographic, October 9, 2022 One of the most expensive meals ever eaten—barring Cleopatra's show-stopping vinegar cocktail with dissolved pearl—was an onion. At least, the eater thought it was an onion. He was a (nameless) sailor in the 1630s, on board a ship transporting a cargo of tulip bulbs at the height of the European tulip craze. Now nicknamed tulipomania, this was the dot-com bubble of the day, in which speculators drove the price of tulip bulbs, recently introduced from the seraglios of the Middle East, to unsustainably astronomical heights. (Predictably, the market crashed, leaving many tulip investors ruined.) The clueless sailor, who said only that he thought his meal remarkably blah-tasting for an onion, had chowed down on a bulb of Semper Augustus, then worth 5,500 florins—a fortune on the open market. It's an interesting story because, frankly, it's hard to miss an onion. Onions—members of the odoriferous Allium genus that includes some 700 species, among them garlic, leeks, shallots, chives, rakkyo, and kurrats—are crammed with smelly, eye-stinging, volatile chemicals that are distinctly absent from tulip bulbs. Collectively, these pack such a powerful sensory punch that onions and relatives have an historical reputation for effectively fending off everything from devils, demons, and vampires to witches, serpents, tigers, the black plague, and the common cold. Onions, traditionally, have also been known as fighting food. Onions were fed to Greek athletes in training for the brutally competitive Olympics, and gladiators were massaged with onion juice before entering the arena. The Roman legions, who had a passion for all things onion, distributed alliums across Europe. (One authority claims that it's possible to follow the advance of the Roman Empire by plotting range maps for garlic.) For the legionnaires, alliums were not only tasty, but militarily helpful, believed to promote strength and courage in face of the enemy. In ancient times, gamecocks and warhorses were fed garlic to boost their fighting spirit; and in Aristophanes's 5th-century BCE play The Knights, warriors stuff themselves with garlic in preparation for battle. Garlic, in Rome, was dedicated to Mars, the god of war. Onions themselves are fine-tuned biological fighting machines. The compounds generated when an onion is bitten, nibbled, sliced, chopped, diced, or otherwise disrupted are the onion's anti-pest defense mechanism, a phenomenal battery of repellants nasty enough to discourage most onion attackers from ever coming back again. When onion cells are damaged, the onion goes into red alert, releasing enzymes that act upon ordinarily benign sulfur-containing organic compounds to produce a barrage of malodorous, painful, and highly reactive molecules. It doesn't pay to mess with an onion. The Onion Equivalent of Tear Gas Some allium-generated chemicals simply smell awful: onions and garlic, for example, contain some of the same sulfurous ingredients found in skunk spray. (American cowboys once called onions skunk eggs.) Others make us cry. An abused onion undergoes chemical reactions that lead to the production of syn-propanethial-S-oxide—known as a lachrymator, from the Latin lacrima meaning “tear.” Fast-acting and potent, syn-propanethial-S-oxide, is the onion equivalent of tear gas. When syn-propanethial-S-oxide hits the cornea of the eye—which happens within seconds of chopping knife meeting onion—it activates nerve endings that, detecting an irritant, send a signal to the lachrymal glands to pump out tears to wash the invader away. And well it should; onion irritant is really irritating. Chemist and onion expert Eric Block compares its effect to a punch in the eye-socket. Combined with the water in tears, syn-propanethial-S-oxide breaks down to make sulfuric acid, which is something nobody wants in the eye. Solutions to the onion-slicing lachrymator problem—none of them totally foolproof—include goggles, fans, or dicing up your onion under cold running water. Mean as onions are, they've got a lot going for them. Onion and garlic juices are both mild antibiotics. In the Civil War, onion juice was routinely used to treat gunshot wounds. General Grant, deprived of it, sent a testy memo to the War Department in Washington: “I will not move my troops without onions.” (They promptly sent him three cartloads.) Garlic was used as an antiseptic in both World Wars I and II. Modern research shows that these weren't bad picks in a medical pinch: garlic juice, for example, inhibits Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and the causative agents of typhus and dysentery. Alliums, if not optimal, were certainly better than nothing. Healing Properties of Onions Today onions are considered more than food. They're now touted as nutraceuticals—a portmanteau word cobbled together from “nutrient” and “pharmaceutical”—indicating that as well as adding flavor to spaghetti sauce and stew, they also have substantial medicinal and health-promoting qualities. Onions not only inhibit bacterial and fungal growth, but are laden with antioxidants, effective at protecting us from cancers and cardiovascular disease. Various chemicals in the versatile onion have been found to ameliorate everything from allergies and asthma to diabetes; and onions are lush sources of vitamins and minerals. Foodwise, it's hard to imagine living without onions. Onions are essential components of any number of global cuisines. Perhaps the best plug for the culinary versatility of the onion is the story of the 18th-century French caterer who-faced with hungry customers and nothing in the larder-served up a pair of leather gloves, shredded, and sautéed with onions, mustard, and vinegar. The recipients thought it delicious. Nowadays we may soon even be able to have all the pleasures and perks of onions without the pain. Colin Leady and colleagues, of New Zealand's Crop and Food Research, along with collaborators in Japan, have come up with a tear-free onion. It was created using a gene-silencing technology in which the gene for the enzyme that generates the onion lachrymator is shut down. The result is an onion with all the flavorful and nutritional bennies of a conventional onion, but without the tear-inducing syn-propanethial-S-oxide.

There are many risk factors for burnout. The good news is that each risk factor is multidirectional and by working on any one of them, you are likely to positively change others. It can feel overwhelming to confront all of the risk factors for burnout, so in today's #straightfromcait episode, Cait breaks them all down into six overarching categories. These categories are workplace, family, self, culture, environment, and health.    Here in the United States there is an extreme amount of pressure and importance placed on hard work and individuality. The issue with these being the major cultural values is that overworking can and does quite literally cause death through having an overall negative impact on long-term health. In addition, relying completely on yourself to accomplish every single thing and not leaning into the strength of our communities is a large contributor to eventual burnout. When considering burnout, the majority of research comes from workplace studies, however, there are several other categories to consider for a broader view. How you were raised, the family you have currently, the environment you live and work in, and your physical and mental health conditions all contribute toward burnout in their own ways. By setting aside time for self care, making necessary lifestyle changes, and really considering each of the burnout risk factors that you identify with, you can make lasting and significant changes that help you to prevent or heal from burnout.    The risk factors for burnout are too numerous to count, but they do all tend to fall into six main interconnected categories. By making improvements in one area, you are likely influencing several others at the same time. Tune into this week's #straightfromcait episode for a conversation about the six categories of burnout risk factors. Learn what to keep an eye out for and what changes to make in order to positively influence your burnout recovery or even to prevent burnout before it occurs.    Quotes · “We might be talking about some sort of family trauma, and you have to know that that affects your environment. And that also affects your health. And it also affects your sense of self and how you function in the world. Right? So there's a lot going on here. Everything affects everything else.” (4:28-4:45 | Cait) · “A study that was combined between the World Health Organization and the International Labor Org showed that working 55 plus hours a week resulted in approximately three quarters of a million deaths over the course of a year through stroke and heart attack mostly. And this was shown to be especially true for those over 45.” (5:38-5:59 | Cait) · “If it is an epigenetic change, we can affect change on it. Because epigenetics are fluid, right? We can move them, they can change. But it does require a lot of self care.” (12:20-12:31 | Cait) · “If you did not have access to or take advantage of access to green space, being in nature, your overall health will suffer and your energy will suffer and increase your risk of burnout.” (12:58-13:09 | Cait)   Links  https://caitdonovan.as.me/free https://caitdonovan.as.me/inquiry   These references should be in the show notes: REFERENCES Bar, M., & Maital, N.

Ken Paller conducts cognitive neuroscience research at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where he also serves as Director of the Training Program in the Neuroscience of Human Cognition. Ken's collaborative research with his students and colleagues focuses on human memory, consciousness, and related issues. Recent research articles have examined sleep's role in memory and memory dysfunction, sensory processing during sleep to reinforce prior learning, the neural substrates of conscious memory experiences, and the juxtaposition of those memory experiences with various ways in which memory can influence our behavior in the absence of awareness of memory retrieval, as in intuition. His investigations make use of various behavioral measures of memory, analyses of brain electrical activity from the EEG, patterns of cognitive deficits in neurological patients, and MRI methods.Ken received a PhD in Neurosciences from UC San Diego following undergraduate training at UCLA. He held postdoctoral positions at Yale, Manchester, and Berkeley. He is a Fellow of the Mind and Life Institute, a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science, journal editor at Neuropsychologia, and program committee chair for the Cognitive Neuroscience Society. He received the Senator Mark Hatfield Award from the Alzheimer's Association, and research funding from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and other federal agencies and private foundations.

Napady padaczkowe są przejściowymi zaburzeniami pracy mózgu. Tradycyjnie uznaje się, że wzmożona synchronizacja neuronów obserwowana podczas napadów padaczkowych jest reakcją łańcuchową zachodzącą w wyniku zachwiania równowagi pomiędzy połączeniami pobudzającymi i hamującymi w mózgu. Ostatnie badania zaczynają jednak wskazywać na zupełnie inny obraz rozpoczęcia napadu. Paradoksalnie o napadach padaczkowych mogą decydować nie wzajemne połączenia neuronów, lecz zmiany w ich środowisku. Wyniki te zostały potwierdzone przez symulacje wykonane na najbardziej realistycznym jak dotąd modelu komputerowym. Jakie możliwości daje odtworzenie napadu padaczkowego z użyciem komputera? Czy dzięki temu możemy lepiej zrozumieć mechanizm zakończenia napadu epileptycznego i zaproponować odpowiednie leki antyepileptyczne nowej generacji? Na te i wiele innych pytań odpowiada dr hab. Piotr Suffczyński, prof. Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, fizyk i badacz mózgu.

Obserwujemy coraz większy wpływ pandemii na odpornośc psychiczną dorosłych jak i na dzieci. Dzieci, niestety mają przez pandemię zakłócony proces rozwoju i będziemy musieli być jeszcze bardziej wyczuleni na ich potrzeby emocjonalne. Jak rozpoznać sytuację, w której dziecko oczekuje już pomocy z zewnątrz? Czy jesteśmy w stanie zaobserwować symptomy nieuzbrojonym okiem? Zapraszamy na bardzo ciekawa rozmowę z naszym gościem Krystyna Rymarczyk, profesor Uniwersytetu Społeczno-Humanistycznego SWPS, w Katedrze Psychologii Poznawczej i Behawioralnej Wydziału Psychologii SWPS w Warszawie. Przez latapracowała także w Pracowni Psychofizjologii w Instytucie Biologii Doświadczalnej PAN w Warszawie. Obecnie prowadzi zajęcia na studiach magisterskich i podyplomowych z zakresu neuropsychologii klinicznej, neuronauki oraz neurologopedii. Jej zainteresowania naukowekoncentrują się wokół zagadnienia powstawania reakcji mimicznych, mózgowej organizacji procesów emocjonalnych. W tym obszarze prowadzi badania z wykorzystaniem funkcjonalnego rezonansu magnetycznego (fMRI) jak i elektromiografii powierzchniowej mięśni twarzy (EMG). Jestautorką kilkudziesięciu artykułów zarówno z zakresu neuronauki społecznej, jak i psychologii m.in. Scientific Reports, PLOS One, Frontiers in Psychology, Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience i inne.Interesuje się także neurobiologicznym podłożem rozwoju człowieka, mechanizmami plastyczności mózgowej, wpływem aktywności fizycznej na rozwój mózgu dziecka i tej tematyce także poświęca swoje publikacje.

Dr. Ken Paller, Ph.D. (hhttps://psychology.northwestern.edu/people/faculty/core/profiles/ken-paller.html) is Professor of Psychology and James Padilla Chair in Arts & Sciences, Director of the Cognitive Neuroscience Program and the Training Program in the Neuroscience of Human Cognition, Fellow of the Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Disease Center, and Fellow of the Center for Sleep and Circadian Biology, at Northwestern University, Department of Psychology. Dr. Paller's collaborative research with his students and colleagues focuses on human memory, consciousness, and related issues, and recent research publications have examined various themes including sleep's role in memory and memory dysfunction, sensory processing during sleep to reinforce prior learning, the neural substrates of conscious memory experiences, and the juxtaposition of those memory experiences with various ways in which memory can influence our behavior in the absence of awareness of memory retrieval, such as in the case of intuition. His investigations make use of various behavioral measures of memory, analyses of brain electrical activity from the EEG, patterns of cognitive deficits in neurological patients, and MRI methods. Dr. Paller received a PhD in Neurosciences from UC San Diego following undergraduate training at UCLA. He held postdoctoral positions at Yale, Manchester, and Berkeley. He is a Fellow of the Mind and Life Institute, a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science, journal editor at Neuropsychologia, and program committee chair for the Cognitive Neuroscience Society. He received the Senator Mark Hatfield Award from the Alzheimer's Association, and research funding from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, and other federal agencies and private foundations.

Did you know that the items you choose to surround yourself with have a direct impact on your happiness AND your productivity? Sure, you may naturally feel more content when wrapped up in a cozy blanket or holding your favorite mug. But, did you know that the items you find most comforting and beautiful produce visible changes in your brain?   On this week's #straightfromcait episode, I share findings from three neuroscience studies showing the power of visually appealing objects to shape our brain. Learn about the changes in our brain that occur when we are under large amounts of stress and how we can use our environment to counteract these negative outcomes in a meaningful way.   If you have an everyday object that you find particularly beautiful or that adds to your sense of contentment when you are in a given space, I'd love to hear from you. Join our FRIED. The Burnout Podcast Facebook Group if you haven't already and share with us! We're all in this together – let's give ourselves the best possible chance of a full burnout recovery.   Quotes • “When you experience something that is beautiful to you, it makes you feel like you just got a treat, and it makes it easier to make decisions that are based on what you actually want from life.” (3:44-3:53) • “Your brain becomes more sensitive to threat the longer you experience stress, which means that you might be interpreting threat when there is none.” (4:46-4:57) • “I want you to take a look at your workspace and ask yourself if there is anything you can do to make the lines around you softer.” (8:25-8:30) • “Absorb this idea that you can utilize your environment to help shape your brain and to give yourself the best possible chance of full burnout recovery.” (10:38-10:50)   References Bar, Moshe, and Maital Neta. “Visual Elements of Subjective Preference Modulate Amygdala Activation.” Neuropsychologia, vol. 45, no. 10, 2007, pp. 2191-2200. 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2007.03.008.

Czy uzależnienia uwarunkowane są tylko czynnikami psychologicznymi? Jakie jeszcze procesy zachodzące w mózgu mają istotne znaczenie w ich powstawaniu oraz podtrzymaniu? Jak wyglądają kwestie zmian neuronalnych, synaptycznych oraz w obrębie układów odgrywających znaczącą rolę w uzależnieniach? O neurobiologicznych mechanizmach leżących u podłoża uzależnień opowiada dr n. med. Joanna Krawczyk, psycholog kliniczny, psychoterapeutka i socjoterapeutka. Wszystkie spotkania odbyły się w ramach konferencji „Uzależnienia” organizowanej przez Koło Naukowe Psychologii Klinicznej Uniwersytetu SWPS we Wrocławiu. “Uzależnienia” to cykl podcastów Strefy Psyche Uniwersytetu SWPS, w którym wraz z psychologami, psychoterapeutami i innymi specjalistami mówimy o różnych aspektach uzależnień. Poruszamy zagadnienia takie jak: neurobiologiczne podłoże uzależnień, pracoholizm i praca emocjonalna, uzależnienie od alkoholu, konopii, pornografii, seksu i gamingu, jedzenia, badania własne nad psychodelikami, syndrom DDA oraz wolontariat studencki w ośrodkach uzależnień. Strefa Psyche Uniwersytetu SWPS to projekt popularyzujący wiedzę psychologiczną na najwyższym merytorycznym poziomie oraz odkrywający możliwości działania, jakie daje psychologia w różnych sferach życia zarówno prywatnego, jak i zawodowego. Projekt obejmuje działania online, których celem jest umożliwienie rozwoju każdemu, kto ma taką potrzebę lub ochotę, niezależnie od miejsca, w którym się znajduje.

Jak dobrze pamiętamy zapachy? Czy tak samo łatwo możemy przypomnieć lub wyobrazić sobie zapach truskawki, czy to, jak ona wygląda? Węch jest fascynującym zmysłem, do którego w nauce i życiu często codziennym przykładamy mniej wagi niż do innych zmysłów. Podczas wykładu zostały przedstawione zarówno badania z użyciem technik neuroobrazowania, jak i badania behawioralne, które pomogą lepiej zrozumieć ten nieco mniej popularny zmysł. Podczas 16. Dni Mózgu Uniwersytetu SWPS organizowanych przez Koło NeuroPsyche Uniwersytetu SWPS Marta Zakrzewska, doktorantka w Gösta Ekmans Laboratory, w katedrze Percepcji i Psychofizjologii na wydziale Psychologii Stockholm University w Sztokholmie, opowiada o pamięci i wyobraźni zapachowej. 01:05 - Jak badamy zapachy? 05:15 - Jak zapachy są przetwarzane w mózgu? 07:00 - Badanie dotyczące węchu 09:00 - Opuszka węchowa - czym jest? 16:00 - Badania naukowe dotyczące pamięci i węchu 39:38 - Rodzaje chorób a zapach 47:00 - Utrata węchu a COVID-19 51:50 - Pytania od uczestników 16.

Frederick S. Barrett, PhD, is affiliated with the Center for Psychedelic & Consciousness Research (@JHPsychedelics) at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore (@Hopkins Medicine). Dr. Barrett spoke with Nick Andrews (@Nick_Andrews_) at @TEDMED 2020, about the research that has been conducted by the Center for Psychedelic & Consciousness Research on the impact of psychedelics, or hallucinogens, on psychiatric disorders. He has no disclosures. Take-home points Dr. Barrett transitioned into neuroscience research through his interest in the effect of music on human emotions and the brain. Until 1970, psychedelics such as psilocybin were widely used in clinical research, with more than 1,000 academic papers published about their use. For example, psychedelics were used as a model for schizophrenia and helped identify the role of serotonin in psychosis. They were also studied to treat addiction and as a treatment for existential anxiety in cancer. In 1970, psychedelics were deemed illegal by the Controlled Substances Act which brought the United States in compliance with the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances. Roland R. Griffiths, PhD, and a group at Johns Hopkins have led the way in reestablishing clinical research using psychedelics. Enthusiasm at the lab is borne out by the potential that this research might help many people. Institutional concerns also are at work because of the “rich and sordid history” of these compounds. In the next 10 years, Dr. Barrett would like to have a clear understanding of the effect size of psychedelics on mood and substance use disorders. Psychedelic agents have a novel therapeutic quality: Studies support that a few or even one exposure to a psychedelic compound has a short-term biological effect and can lead to a long-lasting therapeutic effect, such as remission of mood disorder or change in personality characteristics. The clinical outcomes are mediated by the intensity of the psychedelic experience. Summary The Center for Psychedelic & Consciousness Research is working to discern which medical indications have the most promise for being treated with psychedelics. Its goal is a balanced and rational approach to psychedelic research and subsequent treatment considering the societal and political contexts around these drugs. Dr. Barrett trained in music education and psychology and has been a musician all this life. He moved into neuroscience during graduate school and used music as a tool to study emotions and the brain. Music, meditation, and psychedelics have the similar flow component that inspires converging research questions and a desire to analyze the brain and understand this experience that is central to consciousness. Music is fundamental to the human experience, and it is exciting to try to describe the neural circuitry of how music affects the brain and emotions. Music is useful in therapy because it can regulate emotions. There has long been an overlap of the use of psychedelics and music in therapy. A prime example of this is guided imagery and music (GIM), which is a specialized form of therapy that arose out of work done by Helen Bonny, PhD, a nurse, music therapist, and concert violinist. Bonny developed a protocol for using music to regulate emotions during psychedelic experiences. In the next 10 years, Dr. Barrett would like to have a clear understanding of the effect size of psychedelics on mood and substance use disorders. It will be interesting to see whether and how psychedelics are efficacious in treating an array of substance use disorders. If effective, they would be a single-use treatment for addiction to substances that interact with diverse neural circuits. References Barrett FS et al.

Dr. Norman joins us on this podcast to share her impactful work in the field of Traumatic Brain Injury, TBI, rehabilitation. To say it is work is a misnomer. It is Dr. Norman's passion in life. When speaking with her it is easy to absorb her love for what she does every day for those with TBI's. Not surprisingly Dr. Norman also gives of her time in a volunteer capacity by serving on the board of TBI Warrior Foundation. Dr. Norman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the School of Health Professions at the University of Texas Health Science Center San Antonio. She earned her undergraduate degree from Florida International University, her Master's degree from the University of Texas at Austin and her Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During her training, Dr. Norman was an American Speech-Hearing Association New Century Scholar and an NIH Predoctoral Fellow. In 2018, as a new faculty member at UT Health, she received both a School of Health Professions Pilot Grant and a Texas Society for Allied Health Professions Research Grant. Her research has been published in various peer-reviewed journals such as Brain Injury, American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, Military Medicine, Neuropsychologia and Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Her research centers on improving the lives of individuals with concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). She primarily uses experimental methods to investigate cognitive-communication disorders after mTBI. As a recent recipient of the KL2 career development award at the University of Texas Health Science Center, Dr. Norman will use innovative methods such as discourse analysis and electroencephalogram (EEG) measures to richly characterize language output and shed light on the underlying cognitive mechanisms of language performance after mTBI. Dr. Norman aims to standardize assessment for mTBI-related communication disorders and use precise measurement to develop appropriate behavioral interventions to improve life participation for the mTBI population.

Interesujesz się psychologią? Zapraszamy na naszą stronę: https://www.swps.pl/strefa-psyche - znajdziesz tam jeszcze więcej merytorycznych materiałów w formatach audio, wideo i tekstowych. Co czujesz, gdy widzisz cierpienie innych? Współodczuwasz z nimi, współczujesz im, a może tylko rozumiesz? Czy każdy z nas podobnie empatyzuje z osobą cierpiącą? Czy istnieją elementy, które zmieniają poziom empatii? Podczas wykładu zostaną przedstawione najnowsze dane na temat mózgowego podłoża empatii i czynników, które zmieniają jej poziom, takich jak m.in. płeć czy atrakcyjność fizyczna. Przyjrzymy się również, jak osoby wrażliwe w przetwarzaniu bodźców reagują na ból innych, w porównaniu do osób narcystystycznych czy psychopatycznych. Na koniec postaramy się odpowiedzieć na pytanie – czy można wytrenować empatię? dr Kamila Jankowiak-Siuda – biolog molekularny, neuropsycholog. Wykładowca i badacz na Uniwersytecie SWPS. Dyrektor Instytutu Neuronauki Poznawczej i Behawioralnej Wydziału Psychologii Uniwersytetu SWPS.

Jest autorką kilkudziesięciu artykułów zarówno z zakresu biologii molekularnej, neuronauki społecznej, jak i psychologii, które opublikowała m.in. we „Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience”, „PLOS One” czy „Frontiers in Psychology”.

In this week’s episode, we explore one of the most crucial aspects of the human experience; memory. We start off with a phenomenon Lauren finds particularly interesting: Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory, in which individuals can recall specific, extremely detailed aspects of their daily lives spanning years and even decades in the past. From there we discuss How do we store memories? What different facets and types of memory are there? What is going on with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. We also discuss some historical figures in memory research (e.g., H.M.), eye witness testimonies, place cells, and erasing memories.References:Howard, M. W., & Eichenbaum, H. (2013).

In 1902, Rudyard Kipling published a collection of children's stories that became known as the “Just So Stories.” These were fanciful “explanations” for how various animals acquired their best-known characteristics, like the camel's hump, the leopard's spots, and the elephant's trunk. They were called “just so stories” because his daughter Josephine demanded that they be told in the same way each time, in other words, “just so.” In 1976, the paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould, writing about the emerging field of evolutionary psychology, used that phrase, “just so story,” to express his skepticism about the entire field of study. Since then, the label “just so story” has come to mean “an unverifiable narrative explanation for a cultural practice, a biological trait, or behavior of humans or other animals.” The most recent “just so story” I've seen announced a link between brain damage and religious fundamentalism. Yes, you heard that right: brain damage. The study, entitled “Biological and cognitive underpinnings of religious fundamentalism,” was published in the journal Neuropsychologia. In it, researchers went over the data from 119 Vietnam War veterans who were “specifically chosen because a large number of them had damage to brain areas suspected of playing a critical role in functions related to religious fundamentalism.” Is your Spidey-sense going off here? It should be… The researchers weren't studying the brains of 119 random people looking to see what, if anything, they might find. No, they assumed that a particular kind of brain damage played a role in whether someone became a religious fundamentalist, and then went looking for evidence that confirmed those suspicions. Can you spell “confirmation bias,” boys and girls? Comparing the brain-injured vets' CT scans to those of non-injured vets, researchers found that an injury to a specific region of the prefrontal cortex “was associated with religious fundamentalism.” If your Spidey-sense is now giving you a headache, good. So many unanswered questions here… for example, “What do they mean by ‘religious fundamentalism?'” In this case, “an ideology that emphasizes traditional religious texts and rituals and discourages progressive thinking about religion and social issues.” So, like, every Abrahamic religion? It gets “better.” “Fundamentalists” tend to “oppose anything that questions or challenges their beliefs or way of life,” and “are often aggressive towards anyone who does not share their specific set of supernatural beliefs.” The researchers theorize that damage to the particular region of the prefrontal cortex causes “a reduction in cognitive flexibility and openness.” This leads to “an increase in religious fundamentalism.” So many problems here, so little time, so I'll settle for two obvious problems. First, we have no idea whether these brain-injured vets were actually “fundamentalists,” or if they simply answered the questionnaires in a way that led a researcher to label them that way. The lack of “cognitive flexibility and openness” in what the researchers deemed “religious matters” might also be true of the rest of their lives. Why single out religion? Not to mention, the researchers seemed to lack a good bit of “cognitive flexibility and openness” to any understanding of religion that's different than theirs. Are they brain damaged fundamentalists too? And, second, don't lots of non-religious people aggressively “oppose anything that questions or challenges their beliefs or way of life?” Some are even running for president right now. Is there something wrong with their prefrontal cortex? In the just-so story “How the Elephant Got Its Trunk,” a curious elephant wanders too close to a river and a crocodile grabs it by its-then stubby nose, stretching it until the calf gets away. The new elongated nose proves so useful that no elephant would even dream of going back to their old stubby one. The only difference between that story and the one published in Neuropsychologia is that Kipling actually knew he was writing a “just so story.”   http://www.breakpoint.org/2019/01/breakpoint-do-religious-fundamentalist-have-brain-damage/

The first group of episodes will establish a foundation of educational philosophy, from which we can move forward. This time we’re talking schema, using the review What is a memory schema? A historical perspective on current neuroscience literature in Neuropsychologia. We’ll explore what makes a schema different from isolated knowledge and how that could inform our classroom practice. Schemas exist at the social level and we’ll discuss an article from Woodruff’s philosophy training that could have impact in and beyond social studies. We’re drinking Dragon’s Milk, a milk stout from New Holland Brewing.

Psychologists at the University of Exeter have found that young offenders are two to three times as likely as everyone else to have had a head injury. Huw Williams, Associate Professor of Clinical Neuropsychology at Exeter University spoke exclusively to Claudia Hammond about the implications of his study. Twenty Four Hour Memory Loss: A few years ago a film came out called 50 First Dates. It starred Drew Barrymore as a woman who had had a car accident which resulted in her losing her memory for the days' events every time she went to sleep. Now its happened in real life, a 48 year old woman asked Dr Christine Smith of the Department of Psychiatry at University of California San Diego for help. Dr Smith's account of this unusual case study has been published in the journal Neuropsychologia. How to Stop Worrying: Ad Kerkhof is a clinical psychologist at VU University in Amsterdam. He written a book aimed at any of us who worry, explaining how we can train ourselves to stop worrying.
