SCZD hiPSC neurons express βIII-tubulin (red) and the dendritic marker MAP2AB (green), DAPI (blue). (Credit: Kristen Brennand, UCSD) Researchers at the Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind (KIBM) at the University of California, San Diego are using genetic engineering and growth factors to reprogram the skin cells of patients with schizophrenia, autism, and other neurological disorders and grow them into brain cells in the laboratory. There, investigators can detect inherent defects in how neurons develop or function, or see what environmental toxins or other factors prod them to misbehave in the petri dish. THE KAVLI FOUNDATION (TKF): Dr. FRED “RUSTY” GAGE: Yes. TKF: You then applied schizophrenia drugs to these not-fully-mature cultured neurons derived from schizophrenic patients and found that some of these drugs reversed the abnormalities in synapse formation you saw. GAGE: Exactly. TKF: Dr. GAGE: That’s the idea.

Buddhadasa Bhikkhu - Is Your Hair On Fire? | Theravada Dhamma :: Blog Imagine a person who feels completely healthy, completely free of all illness, sickness and physical disability. Wouldn’t it be ridiculous for that person to get medicine? What would be the point of that? What would be the rationale in getting medicine when you feel completely healthy? Those people who don’t see any problems, who are not aware of any dukkha, unsatisfactoriness, in their lives, what would be the point in their attempting to study the dhamma and to practise meditation? If you are new to this thing called ‘dhamma’, and new to meditation, then you are not expected to immediately agree that you have all sorts of problems and are suffering from many burdens in life. An absolutely essential condition for the proper study of dhamma is the desire to be free of dukkha, to be free of suffering. It is quite amusing and quite sad that most people seem to wander through life in a little cloud, as if nothing were wrong. Do you want to be healthy, or not? You have come to Suan Mokh.

Aux racines de l’extrémisme juif en Israël, une affaire de famille Le 31 juillet, un incendie criminel dans le village de Douma, en Cisjordanie, causait la mort d’un enfant de 18 mois et de son père, déclenchant une vague d’indignation à travers le monde. Les autorités israéliennes y ont réagi en s’attaquant à la mouvance extrémiste juive Noar Ha Gvaot, « Les Jeunes des collines ». Quatre membres présumés de ce groupe ont été placés en détention administrative, une mesure d’exception permettant un emprisonnement de six mois sans que le détenu soit informé des accusations qui pèsent contre lui. Un traitement d’ordinaire réservé aux Palestiniens. Parmi eux figure Meïr Ettinger, 23 ans. Rien n’indique qu’il est lié à l’attaque de Douma, mais le Shin Beth, le service de sécurité intérieure israélien, le soupçonne d’avoir été impliqué dans l’incendie d’une église en Galilée, dans le nord du pays, en juin 2014. Une affaire de famille Ce phénomène extrémiste sioniste n’est pas nouveau en Israël. Meïr Ettinger en est un symbole. Racines américaines Morgane Bona

Fap Fapp Where Are You Really? © 2011 by Gary Vey exclusively for Viewzone Exactly where are you? Right now, as you read this, your attention is focused on the words and phrases as you scan the page with your eyes. You might even hear a familiar voice in your mind, reading the text. At the same time, words and phrases create ideas and visual images associated with memories. If the eyes are really the "window to the soul" then the soul -- and perhaps the conscious "I AM" -- must be located just behind the eyes. The notion that consciousness resides somewhere in the brain is a somewhat modern idea. Descartes insisted that the pineal gland was the "seat of the soul" because it was a rare single structure, centrally located in the brain. Left Brain or Right Brain: Where is consciousness? Our brain, like the rest of our anatomy, is made up of two halves, a left brain and a right brain. The left side of our body is "wired" to the right side of our brain, and vice versa. Consciousness is NOT Personality According to Gerald M.

gestion de fichiers How Learning Happens – The Biological Process of Learning | Welcome to Learning In a previous post on Emotions and Learning, we identified that neural networks are used to carry information from the body into the brain and between different areas of the brain. This post will look at how these networks are created, grow and are strengthened. In essence this is the biological process of learning. First a little about our brain: The human brain weighs approximately 3 pounds (1.4kgs) and is about the size of a grapefruit. Brain cells Neuron showing dendrites & axons There are two kinds of brain cells, the glia and the neuron. Information is carried inside neurons and is passed from one cell to another across the gap between neurons called the synaptic gap using chemicals created within the soma. The growth of neural networks From as early as four weeks after conception, the human embryo begins creating neurons at the rate of half a million every minute. The strengthening of neural networks The video below demonstrates how this process happens: References: by

Gorgeous art nouveau-inspired portraits of Miyazaki's characters Is most of what people call Art Nouveau really just Mucha? Often seems to be, Nouveau was pretty diverse (Beardsley, Steinlen, Lautrec, Crane, Klimt), the very prescriptive style of poster with cutout frames, circle motifs and a heavy outline however is Mucha. Although Mucha himself was more diverse than that SExpand I guess a similar thing happens with pop art, in that that often gets reduced to Andy Worhol (and Worhol again to his brightly coloured screenprints) True. His work on the Slav epic series of paintings is amazing, it's the kind of colour and scale that knocks the wind out of you when you see it. Shadow (psychology) In Jungian psychology, the shadow or "shadow aspect" may refer to (1) an unconscious aspect of the personality which the conscious ego does not identify in itself. Because one tends to reject or remain ignorant of the least desirable aspects of one's personality, the shadow is largely negative, or (2) the entirety of the unconscious, i.e., everything of which a person is not fully conscious. There are, however, positive aspects which may also remain hidden in one's shadow (especially in people with low self-esteem).[1] Contrary to a Freudian definition of shadow, therefore, the Jungian shadow can include everything outside the light of consciousness, and may be positive or negative. "Everyone carries a shadow," Jung wrote, "and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is."[2] It may be (in part) one's link to more primitive animal instincts,[3] which are superseded during early childhood by the conscious mind.

Accueil group Les membres de la famille de ce groupe ne peuvent être salariés. Leur contrôle stratégique s’exerce au sein du Conseil de surveillance. Les managers conservent leur autonomie. Un chiffre d’affaires consolidé de près de 500 millions d’euros et quelque 2.700 salariés, mais une grande discrétion : le groupe Accueil est constitué d’une myriade de PME spécialisées dans des métiers qui vont du négoce de bois et matériels de robinetterie, chauffage et sanitaires (Accueil Négoce) jusqu’à l’édition de logiciels (Berger-Levrault), en passant par la promotion immobilière (Accueil Immobilier) et la location immobilière, ou encore l’agroalimentaire (Repas Santé). Une diversification qui répond aux objectifs de pérennité et de régularité des résultats que s’est fixé le groupe familial créé il y a près de 100 ans par l’arrière-grand-père des dirigeants actuels. En matière de gouvernance, un credo prévaut chez Accueil : « Pas de mélange ». Conserver une culture de PME Cécile Desjardins
