About this deal

This book is my attempt to separate the BS from the brain science, the hype from the hope. I want to help you achieve your goals and ensure that you and your loved ones never end up on my operating table. Ever heard someone say that your gut is your second brain? As it turns out, that myth isn’t scientifically valid. What is true is that the enteric nervous system, or ENS, covers your stomach and your intestines. This nerve net is why you feel butterflies in your stomach when you’re feeling anxious and perceive the sensation of hunger or being full. But since the colon and parts of the gut can be removed without disrupting effects like these, your gut isn’t quite a second brain. The book also features a decent bit of writing on Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) treatment for bipolar and massive depression. This book covers a lot of territory: memory, intelligence, language, creativity, smart drugs (and others), sleep, head injuries (a constantly changing field at the moment), diet for the brain, implants, stem cells, how the brain differs in youth and old age. Turns out the real science of peak performance is pretty much the same as the prescription for general good health: get enough sleep, eat healthy, do what you can to reduce stress, avoid head injuries, and don’t take street drugs or the ones touted on line as ‘smart drugs’. And hope that new treatments for dementia come down the pipeline before you get it. Neurologists and neurosurgeons are doing some amazing things, but there is still so much that can’t be fixed. Hedge your bets by following his prescription.

So what do we know about the human brain? These blinks will take you through the most up-to-date scientific insights into this complex organ, dispelling popular myths along the way. You’ll learn about the function of memory, creativity and language, and get simple advice on how to keep your brain healthy throughout your life. Salvador Dali an artist was a follower of focused awareness as well as the author. He reads articles pertaining to concepts that he is working through before his bedtime like twice a week just to have new understandings of his experiments.Forget supplements and pricey potions - these easy, doctor-approved exercises and lifestyle upgrades can help boost your brain at any age ( New York Post) If you consider this author’s method of food difficult, you should know that he isn’t strictly disciplined when it comes to dieting. He knows that once in a while chocolate bar or burger isn’t a big deal. Rather than obsessing on putting kale in all your meals, he stresses that eating healthy, wholesome food should become a normal routine habit. Embracing new habits is challenging, therefore attempt to have just one food habit at a time. Also, ask your friends and family for their support. Before you know it, you will get used to healthy eating habits. The author once had a patient called Marina and she had a rare type of brain cancer found in the left front temporal part of her brain. Marina was a native Spanish speaker and an English teacher, this made it very essential to know which areas of her brain could be cut during surgery without destructing her language skills. So, for those like myself, who already read a lot of books like this, there likely won't be much here that is new to you, unfortunately...

Under the bright lights of the operating room, the iridescent surface of the brain is densely punctuated with ruby-red arteries and hyacinth-blue veins.
