The Study of Neuroscience
In the past, when people had psychological problems, neuroscientists would often wrongly jump to the conclusion that something in the persons” past was to blame. Nowadays, scientists know more than ever about the growing field of neuroscience. In “The Brain-Mind Connection: A Quarter Century of Neuroscience”, Beth Horning discusses the future possibilities for this growing […]

Contrary to many traditional forms of teaching, students would learn much more from ambidexterity and memory classes, and from being taught not to get “stuck” in daily […]
The Mysteries Surrounding the Complexity of the Brain
The mysteries surrounding the complexity of the brain and how it works has led scientists in diverse fields to search for answers. Chemicals in the brain and the reactions that take place are being understood now more than ever due to continuing research in genetics, pharmacology, and mental illness. Study and research in genetics have […]

The name “anti-acid” literally means “opposite acid”; with respect to the pH scale (which will be discussed later), the opposite of an acid is a base, so it is not surprising to learn that […]
The Effects of High Glucose Intake
Glucose is a sugar that comes from the breakdown of all carbohydrates in the diet and is very soluble in water. The chemical formula for glucose is C6H12O6. Glucose is a vital part of brain function as it is the only fuel that your brain can use. If you are consuming a low-carbohydrate diet, you […]
An Acute Coronary Syndrome
Myocardial Infarction, also known as heart attack, coronary thrombosis, or coronary occlusion is the sudden blocking of one or more of the coronary arteries. If the blocked artery involves an extensive area, the person may die. If not, there will still be necrosis of heart tissue and scarring, but other vessels may be able to […]
