What is self regulation and might it be enabled? Neuroscientific research has revealed that the prefrontal cortex plays a central role in self-regulation, specifically by exerting top-down control over subcortical regions involved in reward (e.g., striatum) and emotion (e.g., amygdala) Self-regulation refers to the conscious and non-conscious processes that enable individuals to guide their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in a purposeful manner. Self-regulation is crucial for goal-directed behavior and has been related to many consequential outcomes in life including physical and mental health, psychological well-being, ethical decision making, and strong interpersonal relationships. How can we improve self-regulatory abilities? One answer is by stimulating the brain with electrical current. Self-regulation is typically assessed with laboratory analogs of common challenges encountered in daily life, such as persisting at difficult tasks, choosing between immediate versus more delayed rewards, and managing emotional impulses. These examples represent paradigmatic forms of self-regulation, namely persistence, or the sustained performance of aversive behavior (e.g., tolerating pain, coping with failure); delay behaviour, which refers to choices that favor more long-term investments at the expense of short-term gains; and impulse control, which involves the purposeful inhibition of emotive response tendencies.

For centuries, the human brain was an enigma. Its intricate folds held the mysteries of thought, memory, and emotion, yet its workings remained in misconception. From neurologists to psychiatrists, there is a difficulty in understanding the intricate fundamental functional pathways of the brain to enable a conclusive map of the interactions of sensations, thoughts, perceptions, and reactions of emotions and feelings. In the early days, treatments for brain injuries and disorders were as brutal as trepanation (drilling holes in the skull), electroconvulsive therapy, and exorcisms, reflecting the misconception that the brain was a static, unchangeable organ. However, it is exciting to note the remarkable revolution still evolving and unfolding regarding neuroscience. Pioneering research reveals the brain's astonishing capacity for self-repair and reorganization, known as neuroplasticity. https://lnkd.in/e9hRfbSf

Unlocking Cognitive Potential: A Comprehensive Review of Neuro Brain Introduction: Unleashing the Power of Neuro BrainI recently embarked on a journey to enhance my cognitive abilities and stumbled upon the promising Neuro Brain supplement. Intrigued by the claims of improved focus, enhanced memory, and heightened mental clarity, I decided to delve into the world of cognitive enhancement with this product. Ingredients and Formula: A Deeper Look into Neuro Brain's CompositionThe success of any brain supplement lies in its formulation. Neuro Brain boasts a blend of scientifically-backed ingredients, including potent nootropics like Bacopa Monnieri, Ginkgo Biloba, and Phosphatidylserine. This combination is designed to synergistically enhance cognitive function, providing a comprehensive approach to brain health.

January TAJ Free-Access Article on Brain Functioning and Neurodiversity in the Adult Ego State For the January 2024 TAJ theme issue on “Neurodiversity and Neuro-divergence,” the free-access article is “Brain Hemisphere Specialization and Neurodiversity as Influencing Factors on the Phenomenology of the Adult Ego State” by Neil Keenan. He reviews the development of Adult ego state theories and their applicability to people of different neurotypes. Neil examines progress in the field of brain hemisphere research and highlights perceptual differences between the right and left brain hemispheres, which actuate the Adult ego state. Applying this research to how the Adult ego state has been modeled in TA, he questions whether a single model can capture the full functional capacity of the Adult and challenges a valorization of the Adult ego state. Ways in which current Adult ego state models might be adapted are suggested to accommodate the breadth of neurological variance in practitioners and clients. Neil then reconceptualizes Adult ego state functioning to inform readers about how the Adult operates differently across neurotypes. We encourage all TAJ readers to read this article and to use this important opportunity to encourage your colleagues and friends to learn more about contemporary transactional analysis. You will find the free-access article from the January issue available on the Taylor & Francis TAJ website (accessible via the ITAA website).

Neurofeedback, a technique that involves training the brain to improve its function, can be particularly effective in enhancing concentration, memory, and focus.🧠💥 ⠀ Neurofeedback works by identifying and modifying the brain wave patterns that are associated with specific cognitive functions. Through repeated sessions, the brain learns to produce these optimal patterns more consistently, leading to improved cognitive abilities like concentration, memory, and focus. ⠀ This process is aided by real-time feedback, which allows individuals to understand and influence their brain activity. As a result, neurofeedback can be a powerful tool for enhancing cognitive functions, especially in individuals who struggle with attention and memory-related challenges. - Schedule your neurofeedback consultation today with Dr. Connie McReynolds!👇 📞 909-435-7189 📧 [email protected] 🌐 www.conniemcreynolds.com ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #drconniemcreynolds #neurofeedbacktraining #brainfunctionimprovement #concentrationenhancement
