(Paul Waters) In an review published in the Journal of Neurophysiology, an Italian researcher exploredthe various areas of the human brain responsible for processing the meanings of concrete and abstract words.
Cuba Psionic Weapons Attack: Brain Scans Confirm 40 Victims Were Hit… by Something
(Science Daily) Advanced neuroimaging reveals key brain differences, particularly in the cerebellum, between impacted patients and healthy individuals, which may underlie clinical findings previously reported.
CBD Round-Up: 9 Things You Should Know About This Plant Remedy
(Daisy Luther) Many of us here at The Organic Prepper are big fans of cannabidiol – more commonly known as CBD. We use it for a wide variety of reasons. Because we get so many questions about it, I thought I’d do a round-up today that will answer many of your questions and give you some of the reasons we use it ourselves.
Scientists Say: Wifi is a Threat to Human Health — Here’s the Science
(Martin L.Pall) Telecommunications industry-linked individuals and groups have claimed that there are no and cannot possibly be any health impacts of Wi-Fi (Foster and Moulder, 2013; Berezow and Bloom, 2017). However with Wi-Fi exposures becoming more and more common and with many of our exposures being without our consent, there is much concern about possible Wi-Fi health effects. This paper is not focused on anecdotal reports but rather on 23 controlled, scientific studies of such health-related effects in animals, cells including human cells in culture and in human beings.

Study: Dancing Can Reverse the Signs of Aging in the Brain
(Science Daily) As we grow older we suffer a decline in mental and physical fitness, which can be made worse by conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. A new study, published in the open-access journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, shows that older people who routinely partake in physical exercise can reverse the signs of aging in the brain, and dancing has the most profound effect.
Dutch Company Reveals An Electric Car That Charges Itself With Sunlight
(Arjun Walia) A Dutch company from Eindhoven has released a prototype car that has already sold 100 orders to be filled in 2011. What’s special about the car is that it is completely electric as well as solar powered. The prototype car actually won the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge, and it represents the world’s very first long-range solar car. It’s a four passenger vehicle and it’s called Lightyear One.
Why a Walnut Resembles the Brain It Nourishes
(Sayer Ji) Nothing could be more beautiful or poetic than when a healing food actually looks like the organ system it nourishes and heals in the body.
Nighttime Snacking Promotes Vicious Cycle Of Sleeplessness, Weight Gain, Junk Food Cravings
(Ben Renner) We’ve all been there. That late-night craving for some junk food sets in, even though it’s way too late to be eating. Most of the time all it takes is a little bit of willpower to resist, but giving in to temptation from time to time happens to the best of us. Now, a study out of the University of Arizona has found that those late night snacks may be causing a much more intricate web of health problems than anyone could predict while standing in front of the fridge at 1 in the morning.
Humans Are Hardwired for Music: Our Brains Appear Uniquely Tuned for Musical Pitch
(Science Daily) In the eternal search for understanding what makes us human, scientists found that our brains are more sensitive to pitch, the harmonic sounds we hear when listening to music, than our evolutionary relative the macaque monkey. The study, funded in part by the National Institutes of Health, highlights the promise of Sound Health, a joint project between the NIH and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts that aims to understand the role of music in health.
Bombshell Claim: Scientists Find “Man-made Climate Change Doesn’t Exist In Practice”
(Zero Hedge) A new scientific study could bust wide open deeply flawed fundamental assumptions underlying controversial climate legislation and initiatives such as the Green New Deal, namely, the degree to which ‘climate change’ is driven by natural phenomena vs. man-made issues measured as carbon footprint. Scientists in Finland found “practically no anthropogenic [man-made]climate change” after a series of studies.
Unraveling the Brain’s Reward Circuits
(Neuroscience News) Study reveals how ArGP and dopamine neurons are linked, and how food and drugs affect them differently. The findings offer clues for the development of new treatments for obesity and substance use disorders.
Exercise, Memory and Learning Linked by Science: A Short Bout of Exercise Enhances Brain Function
(Science Daily) Neuroscientists, working with mice, have discovered that a short burst of exercise directly boosts the function of a gene that increases connections between neurons in the hippocampus, the region of the brain associated with learning and memory.
