Scientists from the University of Groningen (Netherlands) have been able to identify the area of the brain in which the climax and ejaculation typical of male and female orgasm are triggered. It is a place in the brain stem known as the dorsolateral pontine tegmentum, responsible for controlling the basic functions of expulsion of body fluids such as urination.
When a human being attacks another, the usual thing is that the mirror neurons of the brain are activated to put themselves in the place of their adversary (empathy), "feel their pain", in this way, prevent us from hurting them. In fact, empathy is considered the main inhibitor of violence.
Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED) is classified as an impulse control disorder, and the person who suffers from it usually presents recurrent rapid episodes of extreme anger, uncontrolled anger and impulsive aggression, totally disproportionate to the situation in which they occur. Regarding its prevalence, it is estimated that 4-6% of the population meets the criteria for IED at some point in life, apparently being more frequent in men. Although the disorder can begin in childhood, the onset is most common in adolescence, between the ages of 13 and 18, and it has been suggested that it is a chronic clinical entity.
A team of researchers from the University of Southern California (USA) discovered a few years ago that the brain structure of compulsive liars is different from that of honest ones. Specifically, American researchers have found that compulsive liars have more white matter than gray matter in the frontal lobe of the brain, around 22% more.
Sleep increases the reproduction of cells that are involved in the formation of myelin, the insulating material in nerve cell projections in the brain and spinal cord, according to a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience.
Researchers from the Mind, Brain and Behavior Research Center (CIMCyC) of the University of Granada have analyzed the similarities and differences in psychological and brain function that exist between people addicted to cocaine and gamblers. His work has determined that people addicted to games of chance have abnormalities in their brain function that affect their ability to make decisions.
Two scientists from the University of Washington (USA) have approached telepathic communication by achieving the involuntary movement of the hand of one of them when receiving an order executed by the brain of the other. This advance gives rise to a future technology of bilateral brain connection that allows us to communicate without saying a word.
Embryonic stem cell culture has again given birth to another great scientific breakthrough: the creation of the first laboratory brain. Just 4 millimeters in diameter but fully functional, the mini-brains have been created by the Institute for Molecular Biotechnology in Vienna (Austria) and lay the foundations for the development of new, less invasive and more ethical brain exploration techniques.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
