Aging Brain: A New Science to Keep Brain Young and Sharp

We all get old, and so does the brain. The growth of the brain begins to slow down at the surprising young age of 24, but that does not mean that it will lose its sensitivity, and different cognitive skills can reach their peak at different ages. In your life, the brain can be continuously strengthened regardless of your age or access to resources. Through decades of clinical medicine and continuous research, Gupta, a surgeon, pointed out that we can improve and have a better brain at any age. Based on the research of brain science, neurology and pathology in recent 30 years, the author reveals the causes of brain aging and cognitive decline. By comparing the methods in the mental research report database of nearly one hundred experts from the Global Brain Health Council, this paper proposes to scientifically optimize the brain from the aspects of exercise, nutrition, rest, social contact and improving brain plasticity. When you put your brain first, other things related to health will be solved. Without a healthy brain, you can't even make healthy decisions. Life habits can affect the fate of your brain more than your genes. People with dementia are getting younger. Brain recession can be prevented and early intervention can be carried out. This book provides readers with a 12 week brain strengthening plan that can be practiced immediately. Start your "sharp brain" program in daily life, repair the brain with simple and scientific methods, and improve brain power. A healthy brain will not only bring a healthy body, weight, heart, etc., but also bring stronger self-confidence and a more solid financial future.

Neurologic

From the most bizarre dreams and hallucinations to schizophrenia and multiple personalities, the brain is the perpetrator of all kinds of strange thoughts and deeds. Externally, these phenomena often appear "crazy", but in fact they all have logic to follow, which enables us to create experience and preserve ourselves. Whether it's common behaviors, psychological conditions and emotions, such as yawning can be contagious, false memory, eating without hunger, the prevalence of porn, empathy, or amazing cases, such as lucid dreams, near death experiences, scenes seen by blind people, sleepwalking and homicide, Neurologic takes these phenomena as an opportunity, and Dr. Steinberg goes deep into the brain and nervous system, Reveal and interpret the rational conscious system and profound unconscious system in the brain and nerve, and explain how the two systems create our ordinary or strange behavior.

The origin of complex life

Life on the earth appeared about 500 million years after the formation of the earth, but in the following 2 billion years, life has been stagnant at the level of simple bacteria. About 2 billion to 1.5 billion years ago, a complex cell with fine internal structure and unprecedented energy metabolism level sprang out. This complexity has been inherited to trees and bees, as well as to you and me in human beings. We are very different from mushrooms, but the cells observed under the microscope are so similar. From sexual reproduction to cell senescence to cell apoptosis, a set of cell characteristics common to complex life have amazing similarities among different species. Why is life like this? In the long years of 4 billion years, from simple bacteria to awe inspiring complex life, why did such an evolutionary leap only happen once? We have to admit that there is a huge cognitive black hole at the core of biology. Why does life evolve along such a puzzling path? From the perspective of bioenergy, biochemist Nick Ryan gave us a key that is expected to solve the mystery of biological origin. The weird bioenergy production mechanism has restricted cells from all aspects, and a rare symbiotic event in which a bacterium moves into an archaea has broken these restrictions, making the evolution of complex cells possible. A single event that seems to happen accidentally has to go through an evolutionary process due to energy constraints. Many of the most important and basic life characteristics can also be inferred from basic biochemical laws. In the process of evolution, we trade off between fertility and health in youth for the cost of aging and disease. The origin of life, human health and even life and death can be re questioned from the perspective of energy.

The Secret Language of Cells

The basic unit of biology is cell, but little is known about cell dialogue. From these dialogues, we can understand the essence of life. How does the brain's central control system send commands? How to determine our health level? How can people's thinking, feeling and behavior be coordinated? For these questions, Dr. Jon Lev answers them one by one in four parts of the book. Some introduce human cells, including T cells, endothelial cells of capillaries (thin blood vessels), blood cells wandering around, platelets, intestinal cells, skin cells and cancer cells; Some cells are selected as important examples, so that the reader can deeply understand how all organs work through cell communication. The second part introduces the brain, including neurons, three kinds of supporting brain cells and two kinds of protective barrier cells to protect the brain. One chapter is devoted to the unique cell dialogue that leads to various chronic pain syndromes. The third part describes the microbial communication world, including the communication between microbial species, as well as between microorganisms, plants and humans. The fourth part introduces the intracellular dialogue, including the communication between organelles and mitochondria, protein factories and other cell compartments; It also involves molecules that send signals to these compartments. The final conclusion focuses on the significance of these ubiquitous cell dialogues.

Viral Planet

Long before the emergence of humans, viruses occupied the planet. After extreme conditions such as high temperature, extreme cold or drought, viruses are still ubiquitous today, and the gadgets recently used to deal with them, such as antibiotics or cold syrup, can not hurt the virus. Viruses leave abundant information in our DNA. 8% of human DNA fragments come from viruses. It is not too much to say that they are our distant ancestors. But be careful, these dormant fragments in human DNA can recover under specific conditions and reorganize into active viruses. Viruses are not always detestable. Viruses benefit 1/10 of the oxygen that humans breathe. HPV, which is regarded as the culprit of cervical cancer, actually eats all men and women and is widely distributed, but in most cases they coexist peacefully with human beings. When viruses shuttle between different hosts, they have a certain chance to carry gene fragments from the previous host, and then insert them into the genes of the next host. When you exclaim about the diversity of humans or other species, don't forget that viruses also contribute to it. There is no denying that viruses are also cold-blooded killers created by nature. Influenza A, Ebola, SARS, these viruses caught humans off guard. They originally only attacked bats, mice or birds, but natural evolution inadvertently put humans on the black list of viruses. Although vaccines are constantly updated, the power of evolution enables viruses to break through our defense line again and again. This book will enable you to re understand the relationship between viruses and human beings, and understand the position of human beings in all things.

Entomology

In 1879, Jean Henry Fable, a famous French entomologist, bought a piece of wasteland near the town of Serenion, planted thyme and lavender, and invited the beloved insects to come. He asked the red grazing ants why they would never get lost? What does the firefly, who carries lanterns, rely on to shine? In his eyes, the scarab's tool kit is like a magic science and technology museum, Euwin is a skilled architect, and the flower tortoise is like a greedy child, always collapsing beside sweet and sticky fruit and sleeping soundly. Faber devoted his whole life to faithfully recording the wonderful insect world, and Darwin praised him as "an impossible observer". The original edition of Insect Record has ten volumes. This book selects more than 120 kinds of insects familiar to Chinese readers. May these 23 observation notes open the mysterious door of another world for you.

What is life

From the late 1930s to the 1940s, Schrodinger's interest shifted from pure physics to thinking about life and mind. To this end, he gave two cross-border speeches, a series of speeches at Trinity College in Dublin - "What is life", and a speech at Trinity College in Cambridge University - "Mind and Matter". These two speeches were later collated and published as What is Life. Schr ö dinger's speech shocked the academic world, calling on and encouraging a large number of outstanding physicists to engage in biological research, including three scientists who won the Nobel Prize for discovering the "double helix structure of DNA" - James Watson, Francis Crick and Maurice Wilkins. This convergence of disciplines has brought about the explosive growth of biological research in the 20th century, which has led to the birth of "molecular biology". What Is Life is a classic work of scientific enlightenment that can benefit everyone for a lifetime. Schrodinger's language is easy, concise and interesting, and can be understood even without relevant academic background.
