(Science Daily) Scientists have shown that delta waves emitted while we sleep are not generalized periods of silence during which the cortex rests, as has been described for decades in the scientific literature. Instead, they isolate assemblies of neurons that play an essential role in long-term memory formation.

Cultivating Joy Through Mindfulness: An Antidote to Opioid Misuse, the Disease of Despair
(Science Daily) New research shows that a specific mind-body therapy, Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE), increases the brain’s response to natural, healthy rewards while also decreasing the brain’s response to opioid-related cues.
How Babies Integrate New Events into Their Knowledge
(Science Daily) Babies seek to understand the world around them and learn many new things every day. Unexpected events — for example when a ball falls through a table — provide researchers with the unique opportunity to understand infants’ learning processes. What happens in their brains as they learn and integrate new information?
The Olfactory Bulb (Brain Center for Smell): Function and Characteristics
(Exploring Your Mind) Smells have the power to evoke fond memories. Not only can your sense of smell transport you to the past, but it also helps you make important decisions every day. Today, we’re going to talk about an essential part of your sense of smell: the olfactory bulb.
Scientists Discover That The Heart & Brain Respond To Future Events—Before They Happen
(Arjun Walia) Is precognition real? There are many examples suggesting that yes, it is. The remote viewing program conducted by the CIA in conjunction with Stanford University was a good example of that. After its declassification in 1995, or at least partial declassification, the Department of Defense and those involved revealed an exceptionally high success rate:

When Anxiety Takes Over Your Life, You’re not You
(Justin Deschamps) When we feel threatened, the older parts of the brain override the thinking version of you. The conscious identity you experience as your everyday you will slip away, being replaced by a “triggered version” that has different values.

Neuroscience Reveals How A 50-Year-Old Can Have The Brain Of A 25-Year-Old
(Arjun Walia) Science is revealing various mindfulness techniques that can literally change and restructure our brain. Neuroscientist Sara Lazar from Mass General and Harvard Medical School is one of the latest to illustrate this. After she sustained running injuries, she took up yoga. It had a tremendous effect on her, which inspired her to start researching the scientific literature that’s available on mindfulness meditation, which is one of the categories into which yoga falls into.
If Joker Met Jordan Peterson — How to Create a Psychopath Killer
(Justin Deschamps) Answering the question: Why do people do bad things? is important. There’s a lot to unpack, and frankly, we’re still trying to figure this out. But we know enough to draw some pretty good and well-established conclusions. When people feel like their values, dreams, or life is threatened, they tend to react aggressively. If this reaction becomes chronic, blended with paranoid delusions and an environment where the individual is actually suffering, or being harmed by others, it’s much more likely they’ll eventually snap and start hurting people.
