Exercise spurs neuron growth and rewires the brain, helping mice forget traumatic and addictive memories
Researchers from the University of Toronto, Canada, and Kyushu University, Japan, have found that increased neuron formation and the subsequent rewiring of neural circuits in the hippocampus through exercise or genetic manipulation helps mice forget traumatic or drug-associated memories. The findings, reported on May…
Unique brain circuit is linked to Body Mass Index
Why can some people easily stop eating when they are full and others can’t, which can lead to obesity? A Northwestern Medicine study has found one reason may be a newly discovered structural connection between two regions in the brain that appears to be…
A Wild New Study Sheds Light On Why Exercise Is So Good For Our Brains
Researchers unearth exercise secrets from a biomolecular soup of synthetic innervated muscle tissue. SrdjanPav/E+/Getty Images It’s no secret that regular exercise is great for the body and the brain . Scientific studies have shown, time and time again, that physical activity has both short…
High BMI Linked to Weak Smell-Eating Circuit in Brain
Summary: A new study reveals a novel brain circuit linking the sense of smell and eating behavior. The weaker the connection between these regions, the higher a person’s Body Mass Index (BMI). This discovery suggests a potential neural mechanism underlying overeating, where disrupted circuits…
Weak brain circuit connection found to influence overeating and obesity
Why can some people easily stop eating when they are full and others can’t, which can lead to obesity? A Northwestern Medicine study has found one reason may be a newly discovered structural connection between two regions in the brain that appears to be…
6 Things to Add to Your Routine to Maintain Brain Fitness as You Age
Westend6/Getty Images We all want to age gracefully. We’ll do just about anything to do it. From eating for heart health to deciding which exercises to focus on or improving vision , most people know that maintaining many aspects of physical health is crucial…
Researchers demonstrate a new mechanism of neural plasticity underlying learning and memory processes
Graphical abstract. Credit: Cell Reports (2024). DOI: 10.1016/j.celrep.2024.114112 Neurons are important, but they are not everything. Indeed, it is “cartilage,” in the form of clusters of extracellular matrix molecules called chondroitin sulfates, located in the outside nerve cells, that plays a crucial role in…
‘Mathematical microscope’ reveals novel, energy-efficient mechanism of working memory that works even during sleep
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain UCLA Health researchers have discovered a mechanism that creates memories while reducing metabolic cost, even during sleep. This efficient memory occurs in a part of the brain that is crucial for learning and memory, and where Alzheimer’s disease begins. The…
Sleep resets brain connections for a few hours, but then what happens?
In a study involving zebrafish, a team of scientists led by the University College London (UCL) has explored how the brain manages synaptic connections during sleep . The experts found that the brain weakens new neural connections that were forged during waking hours, but…
Scientists Identify New Brain Circuit That Inhibits Appetite
Researchers have discovered a brain circuit in mice that inhibits eating when nauseous, pinpointing unique amygdala nerve cells that operate differently from those activated during satiety, highlighting the complex regulation of appetite. A neural pathway suppresses appetite when experiencing nausea. Feeling full, nauseous, or…

Scientists identify new brain circuit in mice that controls body’s inflammatory reactions
The brain can direct the immune system to an unexpected degree, capable of detecting, ramping up and tamping down inflammation, shows a new study in mice from researchers at Columbia’s Zuckerman Institute. “The brain is the center of our thoughts, emotions, memories and feelings,”…
Stem cells improve memory, reduce inflammation in Alzheimer’s mouse brains

The Power Within by Corey Daniels book available for only $2.99
Mind has both conscious and subconscious halves. These are likened to a driver and the truck he drives. The driver plans the destination and observes road conditions, while the truck provides motive power. Your subconscious mind is like the truck and it only goes in the direction in which is a steered. This can be the road or off a cliff. Likewise, the consciousness paints a picture of what the world is and what your goals are and the subconscious acts on them through emotion, physical response and energy, whether these are correct, rational images or false negative ones. The subconscious is also like an emotional reservoir which your body and mind draw responses from to external stimuli.
The Power Within lays out a method of programming your subconscious and tapping into the Holy Spirit, God voice or what the Greeks called the daimon (godman).
