Apr 30, 2014 - Hosted by the Department of Statistics. Penfield And during the past 40 years, it has been Canadian researchers who've been global leaders in creating this hot new field (see sidebar, “On the origins of a new science,” below). It is not obesity It has been known for some time that many chemicals, even in minute amounts, can have a deleterious effect on our health if eaten or present in the water supply. Meditation and other forms of relaxation and mindfulness not only change your immediate state of mind (and, correspondingly, your biochemical stress level and gene expression), they also can alter the very structure of your brain. Oct 13, 2010 - 25,136,189 members: the world's largest community for good Brain scientists in recent years have discovered a number of surprising ways that the brain influences our overall health, as well as how our behavior influences the health of our brain. Zatorre, a world pioneer in using neuroimaging to watch how our brains groove to, sing along with and enjoy music. Jan 15, 2014 - “What's cool is, if you fast forward 40 years, we now have the tools to actually study this experimentally with brain imaging,” says Dr. Aug 9, 2010 - Words that Change the World. He was 27-years-old at the time, and though he had been born deaf, no one . Susan Schaller believes that the best idea she ever had in her life had to do with an isolated young man she met one day at a community college. May 22, 2014 - Indigenous people are the 4th most likely population in the world to suffer from diabetes type 2. This was easy For some genes, even a small change in the level of DNA methylation at a few cytosine and guanosine sites might subtly alter gene expression and increase the risk of disease. Data and the Brain (poster (PDF Document) ). Dec 25, 2013 - This year, exercise science expanded and fine-tuned our understanding of how physical activity affects our brains, joints, hearts, and even genes, beginning before birth and continuing throughout our lifespans, which can be lengthened, it seems, by exercise, “One of the main reasons people give” for not exercising is that they don't have time, said Arnt Erik Tjonna, a postdoctoral fellow at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, who led the study.
