Beside her the morning sunlight bathed her newborn son, sleeping through the chatter of the cicadas outside. The doctor smiled, the baby was perfectly formed. “What’s your baby’s name?”, asked the doctor. The new mother looked down silently. The cicadas chattered on. She looked up, “I forgot”, she said. The advantage of a bad memory is that one enjoys several times the same good things for the first time. - Friedrich Nietzsche (Source: AEQUANIMITAS) AEQUANIMITAS blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2029711 Thu, 11 Dec 2008 09:24:18 +0100 2029711 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1467055&cid=t_113311_109_f&fid=35677&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FBrainBasedBusiness%2F%7E3%2F297512581%2Fmemorys_often_a_choice.html  Interested in remembering more? It’s a matter of bypassing your brain’s basal ganglia ... which holds long term memories, and using more working memory to draw from new research. Since memory’s often a choice, why not choose more?  A recent cover story The Brain at Work in HR Magazine suggested that scientists once believed that the brain was “hard-wired” early in life. They now know that the brain of a 71-year-old is the same as the brain of a 17-year-old in its ability to make new connections. Unfortunately, most people stop learning meaningful new concepts around age 30, and so the brain’s ability to remember begins to shrink. It doesn’t need to be that way.New memory discoveries may surprise you – especially if you think that: ...

The newest antidepressant approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which will hit the U.S. market in a few months. Pristiq is a drug similar in composition to Wyeth’s existing antidepressant, Effexor XR (which loses its patent protection in 2010, 2 years from now). It is Wyeth’s hope that Pristiq, therefore, will replace Effexor XR in a few years’ time. Why? Because Effexor XR makes $3.8 billion (with a ‘b’) a year in sales. Pristiq has shown the same level of effectiveness as many other antidepressants on the market today — about a 2 point difference in a depression rating scale, compared with a placebo. This is the same 2 point difference that research last week showed wasn’t all that clinically ...

If names help to build better business and seal relationships, then,  why do we find them impossible to remember? Advantages of using names … are no longer news. In fact,  research now shows how hearing your name spoken,  actually spikes personal value in a person’s brain. My question is … How can we use names to create good tone, with so many new  nicknames, surnames, given names, and foreign handles … coming at us all the time? What do you do? During a recent six weeks in China,  I added names under photos of leaders I taught. Still, at times, I desperately searched for hidden clues only t...

Scientists now tell us that forgetting names is deliberate, not accidental. The loss of names … we’re told … is  simply the brain’s way of freeing up space in your working memory for other key facts you need more. Why does it matter? As it turns out … your brain both reserves energy ... and improves its function ...  for facts it chooses to hang onto. Studies by Dr. Gael Malleret, neuroscientist at Columbia University,  show how the human brain would simply become overwhelmed if it did not learn to forget. So it drops some information in favor of you keeping and using other more relevant or immediate facts. Luckily, you can always retrieve and put back...

Schizophrenia begins with a depression. This is followed by loosing interest in personal hygiene, by oversleeping or insomnia and a noticeable social isolation. A bizarre behavior will develop along with increased irrationality in statements and actions. Even the old relationships will be refused, indifference will install even inactivity. Some might become hyperactive and will develop intense preoccupations with religion will write non stop meaningless phrases, and might even abuse drugs and alcohol. Fainting is also frequent along with an inability in showing emotions like crying or laughing...
