THE MAKING, THE RISE, AND THE FUTURE OF THE SPEAKINGMAN

Why and How is the self related to the brain midline regions?
What the self is and where it comes from has been one of the great problems of philosophy for thousands of years. As science and medicine have progressed this question has moved to also become a central one in psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience. The advent of in vivo brain imaging has now allowed the scientific investigation of the self to progress further than ever. Many such imaging studies have indicated that brain structures along the cortical midline are particularly closely related to self-specific processing. This association between cortical midline structures (CMS) and self is reinforced by the involvement of these regions in other self-oriented processes, such as mind-wanderi...
Taxing Sin
Conventional wisdom dictates that those goods which are said to cause harm or impose costs on society deserve a special tax. For centuries, governments have levied these "sin taxes" on alcohol and tobacco, but the list of taxable sins has now grown to include soda and marijuana, with calls to impose further taxes on plastic bags, meat, and even robots and carbon. Contrary to what experts and policymakers tell us, many of these alleged sins impose very little, if any, cost on society, and the harms that do exist can be minimized without resorting to tax. What follows in this book is a discussion of four case studies—on tobacco, marijuana, alcohol and soda—which make the case against the conventional wisdom in taxing these "sins", before concluding that when it comes to taxing sin, it is time for governments to forgive—and forget.
Cognitive Dimensions of Major Depressive Disorder
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most prevalent mental disorders worldwide, and is estimated to affect 300 million people. Most research defines MDD as a categorical disorder and investigations on clinical, functional, and biological correlates are assessed by established diagnostic instruments. However, given the phenotypic and biological heterogeneity of depression, a re-focus on the clinical phenotype of MDD is required. Bridging psychiatric and psychological traditions Cognitive Dimensions of Major Depressive Disorder, discusses the characteristics of the dimensional approach of MDD. Focusing on the cognitive and emotional processes of depression, this guide offers extended ...
Oxford Handbook of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience
The Oxford Handbook of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience brings together the leading developmental cognitive neuroscientists in the field that work on understanding human development, and the complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and brain maturational factors that shape social and cognitive functioning in development. It includes chapters on new, emerging research areas that show promise for understanding both brain and behaviour in development, such as nutrition and the microbiome gut-brain axis and sleep. Looking beyond early developmental changes, this handbook also places importance on the period of adolescence, which is an important developmental juncture. By assuming complex...

If you suffer from any of these symptoms, you may be one of 300 million people worldwide who have depression.

But there is hope in the form of three groundbreaking therapies: ketamine, transcranial magnetic stimulation (...
Chatter
Turn your inner voice from critic to coach As humans, we all have a special ability that is unique to our species: an inner voice. It helps us focus, achieve our goals and reflect on life’s most joyful moments. But it can also be our biggest enemy, chewing over painful emotions and replaying embarrassments, hijacking our thoughts to run amok with ‘chatter’. How does this source of wisdom turn into our biggest critic? And how can we take back control? These are the questions one of the world’s leading experts on the conscious mind set out to answer twenty years ago, when he started on an audacious mission — to study the conversations we have with ourselves. In this hugely anticipate...
Nefes: Kayıp bir sanatın yeni bilimi
Doğru şekilde nefes almayı biliyor musunuz? Nefes, sağlıklı bir yaşam sürdürmenin önemli yapıtaşlarından biri ve günde yaklaşık yirmi beş bin kez nefes alıp veriyoruz. Ancak modern dünyada çoğumuzun doğru nefes alıp verme becerisi zayıflamış durumda. Bu durum, hem hayat kalitemizi düşürüyor hem de başka birçok rahatsızlığa davetiye çıkarıyor. James Nestor, nefesle ilgili problemlerin nasıl üstesinden gelinebileceğini öğrenmek için dünyayı dolaşarak cevapları tarihte, yeraltı mezarlıklarında, göğüs hastalıkları birimlerinde, ortodonti kliniklerinde ve nefes pratiğiyle ilgili eski metinlerde arıyor; nefes alıp verme şeklimizi değiştirmenin atletik performansı artırabileceğini ya da horlamaya, astıma ve otoimmün hastalıklara iyi gelebileceğini gösteren araştırmaları tarıyor. Binlerce yıllık tıbbi metinlerle göğüs hastalıkları, psikoloji ve biyokimya alanlarında yapılmış son araştırmaları bir araya getiren Nefes’i okuduktan sonra bir daha asla eskisi gibi nefes almayacaksınız. “Bu kitabı okuyunca nefes alma şeklinizi değiştirmek isteyeceksiniz.” Evening Standard
