This is analogous to having a power failure in an area of the brain, a regional power failure.
So the lights are out in parts of the brain in patients with Alzheimer's disease, and the question is, are the lights out forever, or can we turn the lights back on?
Can we get those areas of the brain to use glucose once again?
We implanted electrodes in the fornix of patients with Alzheimer's disease, we turned it on, and we looked at what happens to glucose use in the brain.
These areas of the brain are shut down.
The lights are out in these areas of the brain.
And indeed, we are able to get these areas of the brain that were not using glucose to use glucose once again.
So the message here is that, in Alzheimer's disease, the lights are out, but there is someone home, and we're able to turn the power back on to these areas of the brain, and as we do so, we expect that their functions will return.
So the message I want to leave you with today is that, indeed, there are several circuits in the brain that are malfunctioning across various disease states, whether we're talking about Parkinson's disease, depression, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's.
We are now learning to understand what are the circuits, what are the areas of the brain that are responsible for the clinical signs and the symptoms of those diseases.
We can turn them down if they are overactive, if they're causing trouble, trouble that is felt throughout the brain, or we can turn them up if they are underperforming, and in so doing, we think that we may be able to help the overall function of the brain.
The implications of this, of course, is that we may be able to modify the symptoms of the disease, but I haven't told you but there's also some evidence that we might be able to help the repair of damaged areas of the brain using electricity, and this is something for the future, to see if, indeed, we not only change the activity but also some of the reparative functions of the brain can be harvested.
We're going to see electrodes being placed for many disorders of the brain.
And I think that we will see that we will be able to chase more of these evil spirits out from the brain as time goes on, and the consequence of that, of course, will be that we will be able to help many more patients.
So, brain strength increases up to 60, and then after 60, it sort of goes down.
It's mind not matter, brain not brawn, ideas not things.
When these muscles flex and extend, biological sensors within the muscle tendons send information through nerves to the brain.
When the bionic limb moves, the AMI muscles move back and forth, sending signals through the nerve to the brain, enabling a person wearing the prosthesis to experience natural sensations of positions and movements of the prosthesis.
The AMI procedure reestablished the neural link between Jim's ankle-foot muscles and his brain.
When Jim moves his phantom limb, the reconnected muscles move in dynamic pairs, causing signals of proprioception to pass through nerves to the brain, so Jim experiences normal sensations with ankle-foot positions and movements, even when blindfolded.
Now I'm worried that once I'm neurally connected to my limbs once again, my brain will remap back to its not-so-bright self.
I've spent a lot of time studying the circuits in the brain that create the unique perceptual realities that we each have.
Your eye responds to how hard your brain is working.
When your brain's having to work harder, your autonomic nervous system drives your pupil to dilate.
The dynamic signature of our thermal response gives away our changes in stress, how hard our brain is working, whether we're paying attention and engaged in the conversation we might be having and even whether we're experiencing a picture of fire as if it were real.
Guts and brain matter.
This suggested that brain matter was the lure for the vulture and illustrates how studying vulture behavior can help piece together some of the evidence.
With our first kids, we did not know the science about brain development.
Dr. Dweck has shown that when kids read and learn about the brain and how it changes and grows in response to challenge, they're much more likely to persevere when they fail, because they don't believe that failure is a permanent condition.
We know that the brain caps off its second and last growth spurt in your 20s as it rewires itself for adulthood, which means that whatever it is you want to change about yourself, now is the time to change it.
