Proprioception, the True Sixth Sense

Types of Sound Healing Techniques and the Benefits of Sound Therapy The concept of sound healing as an alternative medicine might raise some eyebrows. After all, it is a little hard to understand how sound waves and vibration can help your body heal. But this alternative method of healing indeed works. Let’s take musical sound, for example.

How Our Sense of Touch is a Lot Like the Way We Hear – Science Life When you walk into a darkened room, your first instinct is to feel around for a light switch. You slide your hand along the wall, feeling the transition from the doorframe to the painted drywall, and then up and down until you find the metal or plastic plate of the switch. During the process you use your sense of touch to develop an image in your mind of the wall’s surface and make a better guess for where the switch is. Sliman Bensmaia, PhD, assistant professor of organismal biology and anatomy at the University of Chicago, studies the neural basis of tactile perception, or how our hands convey this information to the brain.

What's the science behind a smile? Ding Li is the winner of FameLab in Hong Kong, a competition designed to discover the world's most talented young science communicators. Here, she explains her winning presentation on the science of smiling. Why did I choose the topic of smiles? Some time ago, I came across a German study about the effect of Botox injections on people’s emotional experiences. The research confirmed Charles Darwin’s facial feedback hypothesis, which suggested that emotions could be altered by the facial muscles' activity. Since then, whenever I am stressed or upset, I cheer myself up by looking into the mirror and smile (sounds silly, I know), which is surprisingly useful!

Body Maps – changing bodies in our heads. – Ancestral Movement It’s funny how when there is a lot to say, it’s often easier to say nothing. Save the energy, because you know it’ll be a long conversation once you start. This happens to me all the time when people ask “so what do you do?”…I nearly always cringe internally, look off into the distance and think to myself “what am I going to say this time?”…Oh well I’ll just start writing anyway, even though I know I’ll have to go back through what I write again soon, adding references (and revising what I no longer agree with). So there’s a lot to say on this whole topic of “ancestral movement”.

MSM Supplement Improves Joints, Allergies and Gut Health What if I told you there was a so-called “miracle supplement” that could lower inflammation, fight the effects of stress and pain, raise immunity and increase energy levels? Would you be interested? Then you need to know about the MSM supplement. MSM is used to help treat literally dozens of illnesses, painful symptoms and diseases — and, yes, it’s been called a “miracle supplement” for all it does. (1, 2) So what is an MSM supplement exactly, and do you need to take one?

Association of Thalamic Dysconnectivity and Conversion to Psychosis in Youth and Young Adults at Elevated Clinical Risk - PubMed Importance: Severe neuropsychiatric conditions, such as schizophrenia, affect distributed neural computations. One candidate system profoundly altered in chronic schizophrenia involves the thalamocortical networks. It is widely acknowledged that schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder that likely affects the brain before onset of clinical symptoms. So Your Muscle Are Tight, But Why? - ARC Health & Wellness We all have a muscle that just won’t loosen up no matter how often you stretch it. After all, the way to loosen a tight muscle is to stretch it, right? Not necessarily. Not all muscles that are tight need to be, or should be stretched. It all depends on why it’s tight in the first place. Contrary to popular thinking, inflexibility isn’t always due to simple disuse or a lack of stretching.

ScienceDirect Topics Induced Proximity The seminal discovery that death receptor signaling required, in its most basic form, simply a transmembrane receptor, an adaptor molecule, and a caspase [19, 20] revealed a solution to the perplexing problem of how the first proteolytic signal was generated during apoptosis, since it implicated a caspase directly in the triggering event. Prior to this work, receptors were thought to signal by either altering the phosphorylation status of key signaling molecules, or by functioning as ion channels.

Chapter 21: Neuromuscular disorders The nervous system can be considered a reflex arc designed for analyzing the environment through sensation and then modifying the environment through movement. The neuromuscular component of the nervous system is made up of the first and the last components of this reflex. It consists of the first sensory element and the last motor element. Table 21-1 lists the parts of this peripheral apparatus. The Neural Correlates of Consciousness and Attention: Two Sister Processes of the Brain Introduction During the last three decades the advent and development of new scientific procedures, such as the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and the positron emission tomography (PET), have allowed neuroscientists to study the activity of the living brain. These methods have been extensively used to determine the activation of brain regions in connection with specific cognitive functions.

Johns Hopkins Medicine What is occipital neuralgia? Most feeling in the back and top of the head is transmitted to the brain by the two greater occipital nerves. There is one nerve on each side of the head. Emerging from between bones of the spine in the upper neck, the two greater occipital nerves make their way through muscles at the back of the head and into the scalp.
