HEMPEARTH – Lion’s Mane And Psilocybin Create New Brain Cells🧠☀️ Neurogenesis explained The powerful effects of both lion’s mane and psilocybin mushrooms on the brain can be partly explained by the fact that both enhance neurogenesis. Neurogenesis is the process by which new neurons (nerve cells) are generated from neural stem cells and progenitor cells in the brain. It involves the formation, differentiation, and integration of these new neurons into existing neural circuits. #neurogenesis #lionsmane #mushrooms #psilocybin #neurons #braincells #brainhealth #braindevelopment #brainexpansion https://lnkd.in/egCCY6Xe

Afternoon science break... A 'connectome' is a map of the neurons and the detailed circuitry of neural pathways within it'...basically how all the neurons talk to each other--both directly and indirectly. Neuropeptides allow communication between neurons that aren't 'close' to each other. Neuropeptides and their receptors are a 'hot' area of research--especially for the development of neuroactive drugs to deal with various neurological disorders...a problem--how they work at the broad 'network' level is usually poorly understood. Researchers have now generated the first map showing how every neuron within the nematode C. elegans communicates with each other via neuropeptide signalling. They managed to map over 31,000 neuropeptide interactions that involved all 302 neurons of the worm--showing where each neuropeptide and receptor acts in the nervous system of the worm. While we have significantly more neurons than the nematode--this give a starting point to try to start understanding the 'connectome' for certain diseases/disorders. As there is nothing 'simple' in the way cells talk to one another--especially when communicating via a 'long-distance'. Can't wait to see what else comes from the research, and it be interesting to see when other 'wireless connectome' maps are generated for other #modelorganisms #brain #neuroscience #celegans #geneexpression #mapping

Ranveer Allahbadia and Dr Alok Sharma sir, #neuroscience is of course the topic which will be less discussed with the normal people. But being a #passionate #marketer I really feel there is a pattern of living beings having brains. I was fascinated to hear about #autism and its causes. I rarely come across such conversation, when the brain function is actually discussed. I am sure , your work on spiral code and neuro science will improve the life of people facing health issues. Also your insights on stem cell treatment. Really feeling proud that we #indian #doctors have proved #researchanddevelopment #health #brain #listeningskills #podcast

What happens in the brain while daydreaming? You are sitting quietly, and suddenly your brain tunes out the world and wanders to something else entirely -- perhaps a recent experience, or an old memory. You just had a daydream. Yet despite the ubiquity of this experience, what is happening in the brain while daydreaming is a question that has largely eluded neuroscientists. Now, a study in mice, published Dec. 13 in Nature, has brought a team led by researchers at Harvard Medical School one step closer to figuring it out. The researchers tracked the activity of neurons in the visual cortex of the brains of mice while the animals remained in a quiet waking state. They found that occasionally these neurons fired in a pattern similar to one that occurred when a mouse looked at an actual image, suggesting that the mouse was thinking -- or daydreaming -- about the image. Moreover, the patterns of activity during a mouse's first few daydreams of the day predicted how the brain's response to the image would change over time. The research provides tantalizing, if preliminary, evidence that daydreams can shape the brain's future response to what it sees. This causal relationship needs to be confirmed in further research, the team cautioned, but the results offer an intriguing clue that daydreams during quiet waking may play a role in brain plasticity -- the brain's ability to remodel itself in response to new experiences. "We wanted to know how this daydreaming process occurred on a neurobiological level, and whether these moments of quiet reflection could be important for learning and memory," said lead author Nghia Nguyen, a PhD student in neurobiology in the Blavatnik Institute at HMS.
