Brain And Memory

Xena Mindhurst

Sinopse

'Brain and Memory' presents a fascinating exploration of how our brains store and retrieve experiences through complex neural networks. This comprehensive work bridges the gap between cutting-edge neuroscience and practical memory enhancement, examining the intricate processes that allow us to maintain memories over decades. The book uniquely combines cellular-level understanding of memory formation with broader insights into different memory systems, making it invaluable for both academic and general audiences interested in cognitive function.

 
The text progresses systematically through four key areas, beginning with the biological foundations of memory at the cellular level, where synaptic plasticity plays a crucial role. It then explores distinct memory types, including working, episodic, and procedural memory, before delving into various factors affecting memory performance, such as sleep, stress, and nutrition. Throughout these sections, the book maintains a careful balance between scientific rigor and accessibility, using clear explanations and practical examples to illuminate complex concepts.

 
What sets this work apart is its integration of traditional memory research with contemporary discoveries in neuroplasticity and cognitive enhancement. Drawing from functional MRI studies, clinical cases, and longitudinal research, it provides evidence-based strategies for memory improvement while acknowledging current limitations in our understanding. The book's interdisciplinary approach connects neuroscience with psychology and education, making it particularly relevant for students, healthcare professionals, and anyone interested in maintaining cognitive health throughout their lifetime.

This Is What Inequality Looks Like

Teo You Yenn

What is poverty? What is inequality? How are they connected? How are they reproduced? How might they be overcome? Why should we try?The way we frame our questions shapes the way we see solutions. This book does what appears to be a no-brainer task, but one that is missing and important: it asks readers to pose questions in different ways, to shift the vantage point from which they view 'common sense,' and in so doing, to see themselves as part of problems and potential solutions. This is a book about how seeing poverty entails confronting inequality. It is about how acknowledging poverty and inequality leads to uncomfortable revelations about our society and ourselves. And it is about how once we see, we cannot, must not, unsee.This New Edition of This Is What Inequality Looks Like by Teo You Yenn features a new Afterword by the author, and a Foreword by Kwok Kian Woon, Professor of Sociology at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.© 2018 by Teo You Yenn. Published in paper format in Singapore by Ethos Books, recorded by Storyside 2019.

Stories Dice and Rocks That...

Byron Reese

What makes the human mind so unique? And how did we get this way? 
 
 
 
This fascinating tale explores the three leaps in our history that made us what we are—and will change how you think about our future. 
 
 
 
Look around. Clearly, we humans are radically different from the other creatures on this planet. But why? Where are the Bronze Age beavers? The Iron Age iguanas? In Stories, Dice, and Rocks That Think, Byron Reese argues that we owe our special status to our ability to imagine the future and recall the past, escaping the perpetual present that all other living creatures are trapped in. 
 
  
  
Envisioning human history as the development of a societal superorganism he names Agora, Reese shows us how this escape enabled us to share knowledge on an unprecedented scale, and predict—and eventually master—the future. 
 
 
  
Thoughtful and witty, this must-listen book unravels our history as an intelligent species in three acts. A fresh new look at the history and destiny of humanity, listeners will come away from Stories, Dice, and Rocks That Think with a new understanding of what they are—not just another animal, but a creature with a mastery of time itself.
