stress hormones & memory

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:29:18 GMT

clipped by: cresvumom

Most daily events are quickly forgotten. They are memories writ in pencil, never made permanent. But some events provoke an emotional response. In these moments of joy or sadness, terror or surprise, the body is flooded with stress hormones released by the adrenal glands, which are located above the kidneys. This is part of the ancient "fight or flight" response. Hormones like adrenaline wash over the amygdala – an almond-shaped portion of the brain that processes emotion, most notably fear. Adrenaline tells the amygdala that what's happening at that moment is worth remembering, that this is a memory to be writ in neurological ink.

if you can prevent the system from working, give a drug that blocks the action of stress hormones (upon the amygdala and brain), then you may be able to prevent the influence of making stronger memories," said James L. McGaugh, director of UC Irvine's Center for the Neurobiology of Learning and Memory

US 49% fish toxic - what do you think global toxicity is?

clipper's remarks: We do not protect our water as well as we should but we do a better job than most of the areas we are importing fish from, I believe.

Wonder if they sell portable kits so you could test your meal before ordering at Red Lobster is you still kill fish - er eat fish. Sorry, I am a vegan - grin.

EPA: Toxic chemicals in freshwater fish widespread

The Environmental Protection Agency found mercury — a pollutant primarily released from coal-fired power plants — and polychlorinated biphenyls in all fish samples it collected from 500 lakes and reservoirs from 2000-2003. At 49 percent of those lakes and reservoirs, mercury concentrations exceeded levels that the EPA says are safe for people eating average amounts of fish.

Mercury consumed by eating fish can damage the nervous system and cause learning disabilities in developing fetuses and young children.

The Relative Size of Things

Back in the 70s or 80s, IBM made a video called The Power of 10, which showed the relative size of things from the universe to the cell and the effect of adding a zero. In other words going from 1 meter to 10 meters to 100 meters and so on.

Now in the age of nanotechnology, and manipulating materials on the molecular scale, it's nice to see an interactive that shows the relative size of the small things. We're talking everything from coffee beans to carbon atoms. With viruses, bacteria, red blood cells and a host of other structures in between.

Cell Size and Scale is made possible by the Genetics Science Learning Center at the University of Utah. It's so great. Go ahead and interact.

clipper's remarks: Why?

Clip Source: www.lewrockwell.com

Secondly, Social Justice may be seen not as a particular viewpoint on such issues, but rather as a concern with studying them with no preconceived notions. In this perspective, no particular stance is taken on issues of poverty, capitalism, socialism, discrimination, government regulation of the economy, free enterprise, environmentalism, taxation, charity, diversity, etc. Rather, the only claim is that such topics are important for a liberal arts education, and that any institution of higher learning that ignores them does so at peril to its own mission.

How to solve a rubix cube – the last layer

I've been learning how to solve a rubix cube and I've actually accomplished a bit - first two layers done. Now I have the last layer to solve (which will probably be the most difficult, since I don't want to mess the others up!).

I saw a guide online and picked up a few tips. The key on how to solve a rubix cube is not to get "colors" in the right place. You can have one single-colored face "solved" but the pieces can be in completely wrong places. So, you have to get the pieces in the right places. (Example: The edge piece with red and yellow on it must be on the edge between the red and yellow faces.)

Cheap Guitar Amps

If you have been shopping for guitar amps for a short amount of time you know by now the price range is huge! Because of this huge price range, you might be confused as to what amp is best for you. If some cases, you can get away with buying cheap guitar amps. Below I will go over the kinds of people that can purchase a cheap guitar amp with no problem.

Beginners

If you are a beginner, then it is highly recommended you get a cheap guitar amp. We obviously don’t want a rookie to be spending big money when he is still in the learning process. When you learn, you are bound to have a mishap with the amp. You don’t want to have a mishap with a really expensive amp! Blowing the speaker on a cheap guitar amp is not as big of a deal as blowing it on an expensive one.

"What's Not ADHD?"

The five problems we’ll discuss are Anxiety, Depression, Disruptive Behavior, Learning Disabilities, and Sensory Integration Disorder. Please believe me – I don’t want to make your life more complicated! Yet if we wish to approach treatment and outcomes with a degree of scientific objectivity, an accurate understanding of a child’s behavior is essential. Unfortunately, we live in a time when all kinds of behavioral problems are herded under the umbrella of ADHD. But what if some attention problems have a different foundation, and what if psychostimulant medication isn’t always the best response to behavioral problems – even those that appear to involve hyperactivity?
