Sinossi

"How Memories Form" explores the complex processes behind memory formation, storage, and retrieval, emphasizing the neuroscience that governs our cognitive abilities. It highlights the biological mechanisms responsible for encoding memories, the neural pathways critical for memory consolidation, and the various factors influencing our ability to recall information, or, conversely, to forget.

 
Did you know that memory isn't a single entity but a multifaceted process spread across different brain areas? Also, synaptic plasticity, the ability of connections between neurons to strengthen or weaken, plays a crucial role in how memories are formed and maintained.

 
The book uniquely integrates micro-level cellular and molecular processes with macro-level cognitive functions to provide a holistic perspective. It begins with foundational concepts before delving into the functions of key brain structures like the hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex. The book then explores the cellular mechanisms of memory, such as synaptic plasticity, and examines different types of memory, including episodic and semantic memory.

 
By using evidence from neuroimaging, animal studies, and clinical cases, "How Memories Form" offers a comprehensive understanding of memory systems and their applications, including insights into memory disorders like Alzheimer's disease.

    Battling Over Birth: Black Women and the Maternal Health Care Crisis reveals hard truths—powerful findings on the role of racism, coercion, inadequate prenatal care, the pressures undermining breastfeeding, and the lack of access to alternatives to a broken maternal health-care system as key threads of black women's birth experiences. 
     
     
     
    Battling Over Birth, a new human rights report from Black Women Birthing Justice, shares stories from over 100 women who recently gave birth in California. The report reveals the culture of fear and coercion that has transformed birth into a battleground, a deep lack of trust of our hospitals, and a broken maternal healthcare system that fails too many black women. The report shakes up our understanding of where state violence happens, and who it happens to; putting the human rights spotlight onto a system that is often unaccountable to black communities. Battling Over Birth also provides solutions. It makes a series of recommendations, including community accountability boards to hold hospitals accountable; increased access to midwifery and doula-care; recruitment and training of more health-care professionals of color; culturally-competent, empowering prenatal and postpartum care; greater access to home birth and birth centers; and a sharp reduction in the use of C-sections.

    Mastitis is an inflammation of the breast tissue that often results from an infection. It is a condition that primarily affects women, especially those who are breastfeeding, although it can also occur in non-lactating women and, in rare cases, men. The inflammation associated with mastitis is typically caused by bacteria entering the breast tissue through a cracked or sore nipple, though other factors such as blocked milk ducts, hormonal changes, or injury to the breast can also contribute. Mastitis is not only physically painful but can also cause significant emotional distress, particularly for new mothers who may already be dealing with the challenges of breastfeeding and caring for an infant. 
    The importance of understanding mastitis lies in its ability to impact both the physical and emotional well-being of those affected. When left untreated, mastitis can lead to complications such as breast abscesses, which may require surgical intervention. Additionally, untreated or recurrent mastitis can cause long-term issues with breastfeeding, leading to early weaning or, in some cases, chronic breast pain. Early recognition and appropriate treatment are critical for preventing these complications and ensuring the best possible outcome for the individual. 
    While mastitis is most commonly associated with breastfeeding, it is essential to recognize that the condition can affect women and men in other contexts as well. For non-lactating women, mastitis can sometimes be linked to hormonal changes, particularly during pregnancy or menopause. Men, though rarely affected, can also experience mastitis, often as a result of an infection or other underlying health issue. Understanding the different causes, symptoms, and risk factors of mastitis can help individuals identify the condition early and seek appropriate medical care before it progresses into something more serious.

    Insulin - A Hundred-Year History

    In 1922, researchers made one of the most important medical breakthroughs of the century: insulin. Their discovery seemed miraculous. When it was given to diabetic patients on the brink of death, their condition rapidly improved. 
     
     
     
    However, this was no simple cure. Injections must be taken for life. Without them, symptoms quickly return, often with fatal results. But while a lifetime on insulin poses great challenges, it also offers opportunities. In this revelatory history, Stuart Bradwel looks back on one of medicine's most celebrated innovations. Setting professional narrative against subjective patient experience, he tells the story of a drug that has challenged many of the basic assumptions upon which medical practice is built, both inside and outside the clinic. 
     
     
     
    Nevertheless, Bradwel reminds us that the centenary of this apparent "wonder drug" should be no cause for celebration. Insulin often remains inaccessible to those who need it most: elusive prescriptions, uneven availability and sky-high prices result in rationing and desperate do-it-yourself research and development. In the face of bootstraps rhetoric and "Pharma Bro" capitalists, patients across the world are left to fend for themselves. There is a long way to go in the twenty-first century until insulin truly fulfills the extraordinary promises made by its discovery.

    Over the last ten years or so, it has become commonplace to hear talk of an obscurantist threat linked to a rise in irrationality, manifested mainly by a mistrust of vaccination and conventional medicine. But obscurantism can also be found where we pride ourselves on fighting it. In this case, it is no longer the work of marginal or anti-establishment groups, but of a dominant way of thinking that presents itself as that of science and rationality. 
    The aim of this book is to lift the veil on this obscurantism in power. Through numerous examples, from impeded research into unexplained phenomena such as near-death experiences, to the vast field of medicine where the pharmaceutical industry has cornered the market on proving the usefulness of a treatment, Brice Perrier reveals how reason is transformed into dogmatism and hinders the advancement of knowledge. 
    The aim of the book is not to say what is true or false, nor to settle scientific controversies, but to understand why these debates, which have always been legitimate and even necessary in science, may simply no longer be allowed.
