Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
Colossal things happening in them all the timeWhat we find is that our brains have colossal things happening in them all the time.
David Eagleman Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
Glial cellsMost of our brain cells are glial cells, once thought to be mere support cells, but now understood as having a critical role in brain function. Glial cells in the human brain are markedly different from glial cells in other brains, suggesting that they may be important in the evolution of brain function.
Thomas R. Insel Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
Like bonsai treesOur brains are like bonsai trees, growing around our private versions of reality.
Sloane Crosley Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
Our brains employ tricks we are unaware ofJust as our brains fill in the details of an image our eyes record only roughly, so, too, do our brains employ tricks we are unaware of to fill in details about people we don’t know intimately.
Leonard Mlodinow Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
Our brains have the ability to reorganize themselvesOur brains have the ability to reorganize themselves by forming new neural connections throughout our lives. This ability is called neuroplasticity.
Elizabeth Thornton Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
Our memory becomes out of shapeLike our physical bodies, our memory becomes out of shape. As children, we are constantly learning new experiences, but by the time we reach our 20s, we start to lead a more sedentary life both mentally and physically. Our lives become routine, and we stop challenging our brains, and our memory starts to suffer.
Tony Buzan Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
Practice of doing nothingAll mental hygiene is based on the core practice of doing nothing. Most of us are good at wasting time, staring at the wall while telling ourselves we should be working. We call this doing nothing, but our brains are furiously active. We think constantly, and our thinking is often rife with distress.
Martha Beck Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
Stress overload makes us stupidStress overload makes us stupid. Solid research proves it. When we get overstressed, it creates a nasty chemical soup in our brains that makes it hard to pull out of the anxious depressive spiral.
Gail Sheehy Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
The cause-effect sequences in our brainsThe cause-effect sequences in our brains are just as determining, just as inescapable, as anywhere else in Nature.
Corliss Lamont Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
The largest brainsElephants have the largest brains of any mammal on the face of the Earth. They are creative, altruistic and kind.
Ingrid Newkirk Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
The line between self and otherOur brains have been designed to blur the line between self and other. It is an ancient neural circuitry that marks every mammal, from mouse to elephant.
Frans de Waal Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
There’s no theoryYou can’t imagine how much detail we know about brains. There were 28,000 people who went to the neuroscience conference this year, and every one of them is doing research in brains. A lot of data. But there’s no theory. There’s a little, wimpy box on top there.
Jeff Hawkins Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
They vary as much as faces doBrains, you see, vary a lot from person to person - they vary as much as faces do.
Sam Kean Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
Tricky and adaptable organsBrains are tricky and adaptable organs. For all the ’neuroplasticity’ allowing our brains to reconfigure themselves to the biases of our computers, we are just as neuroplastic in our ability to eventually recover and adapt.
Douglas Rushkoff Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
We need a selfWe need a self because the complexity of the chemical processes that make up our individual humanities exceeds the processing power of our brains.
Mohsin Hamid Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
We override our brains all the timeBefore a brain can register a thought, a mind must think it... every step of the way is mind over matter... We override our brains all the time.
Deepak Chopra Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
We use a great deal of our brilliance to keep ourselves stuck and ignorantWe have magnificent brains, but we use a great deal of our brilliance to keep ourselves stuck and ignorant, to keep ourselves from not shining. We are so afraid of our beauty and radiance and brilliance because it scared the adults around us when we were children.
Patricia Sun Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
When it comes to brains, size mattersWhen it comes to brains, size matters. It’s not all that matters, of course. Whales and dolphins have brains that are larger than humans’, but few of the flippered and fluked set win tenure at Stanford. Our brains are the largest in proportion to body size, and they’re also highly sophisticated.
Seth Shostak Quotes and wishes: «Brains»
You could put your finger right through itBrains don’t really smell, but what’s amazing about the brain is that it’s almost like scrambled eggs or soft tofu, almost like a gel. The brain controls so much of what we do, but you could put your finger right through it.
