Is it any wonder why we feel seemingly incurable aches & pains many days of our lives? There are various ways to address individual healing. Most cognitive and…
PART VI THE MEMORY NETWORK Physical Memories Physical memory is about trauma. It is about biology-based, non-conscious action patterns that humans and animals execute when they are exposed to stress, threat, or injury. They dodge, fight, flee, freeze, submit, or surrender, etc. The body draws from a library of possible motor responses supported by adjustments…

Optogenetics Until recently neuroscientists have been unable to see how the brain works in precise detail. Basic genetic researchers have brought in the solution in the form of micro-organisms that rely on light-responsive "opsin" proteins to survive. Instead of electrodes or liquids, researchers can insert the opsin proteins into specific braincells of freely moving animals…
Are the ‘Islanders’ psychic ? The ‘Islanders’ are also involved in imagining the emotional states of others in order to understand, predict and manipulate their behavior. This also applies to interpreting their mental states, dispositions, intentions and motivations. When data processing between the ‘Islanders’ and the neo cortex cannot be completed, because we resist completing…
Are our Somatic Markers Islanders ? Somatic markers are mostly located on the Insular Cortex (insula = island). This region integrates information from nearly every emotional and body state, like laughter, lust, pride, humiliation, etc. This is then sent to higher-order cognitive and emotional regions. This cortex reads body states such as fear, hunger and…
Somatic Markers = my emotions ? Somatic markers are not primary emotions, but secondary emotions that are filtered through your beliefs, judgments, fears, and opinions. These markers connect to a possible future outcome, based on memories of past experiences. Thus they influence thoughts, sensations, and behavior in a covert manner. A negative somatic marker projected…
Cortical Homunculus The cortical homunculus is used to describe "the body within the brain", a distorted human drawn or sculpted to reflect the relative space various sensory body parts occupy on the motor cortex(output) and the somato-sensory cortex(input): The lips, hands, feet, and genitals are enlarged, to reflect a larger proportion of neurons processing data…
