TEDx Talks· 2025-11-25 17:14
I'm here to share two things. One, through my work, how neurons take stress and actually show resilience. And two, through my work and how I worked at isotherapati, how we built up certain things from nothing because started in 2015.I'm I'm one of the first biology faculty who entered a room with really nothing and brought a lot of things today stands for everything that I'm going to show you. When I just walked this morning besides the beach, I could smell the Shenbagapu after several years all the Malipu ...
Brain Science at the Intersection of Tradition and Innovation | Dr. Mohammmad Nami | TEDxDGPS Youth
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-29 16:14
Neuroscience and Ancient Traditions - Neuroscience validates ancient traditions like mindful meditation and acupuncture, revealing tangible brain changes [2][3][8] - Ancient approaches once considered pseudoscience are now being validated by scientific discoveries, highlighting the interconnectedness of ancient wisdom and modern technology [4][5] - Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and other traditional complementary alternative medicines (TCAM) are being investigated for their validity and potential benefits [10][11] Brain Modulation and Neurotechnology - Modern technology is used to scrutinize the brain, leading to a better understanding of how to modulate thought, feeling, and sensory-motor functions [5][6] - Neurotechnologies like neurofeedback, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are being used to enhance brain function and treat disabilities [14][16][17][19] - Brain mapping techniques are used to study brain wave dynamics and functional structures, revealing the unique fingerprints of individual brains [8][9] - Neural plasticity allows for reshaping and remodeling of the brain, enabling interventions to improve functionality and quality of life [14][15] Ethical Considerations in Neurotechnology - The rapid advancement of neurotechnology raises ethical concerns about privacy, confidentiality, and the potential for misuse [23][24][25] - There is a need for regulation and ethical guidelines to ensure that neurotechnology is used for the betterment of humanity [25] - Questions arise about the limits of technological intervention and the potential impact on human identity and autonomy [23][26]

Cognitive Benefits of Exercise - Physical exercise optimizes cognitive functions like memory and focus, providing a mood boost for around 3 hours [1][14] - Long-term, repetitive exercise can have benefits against Alzheimer's, dementia, and depression [1][15] - Exercise increases BDNF growth factors in the brain, optimizing neurogenesis [14] - Physical activity thickens the prefrontal cortex, improving processing speed, planning, and emotional regulation [15][16][17] Neurological Impact of Exercise - Exercise increases heart rate, delivering more oxygen and BDNF growth factors to the brain [13][14] - Neurogenesis, the production of new brain cells, is increased through movement [10][11] - Physically active individuals can double or triple the number of brain cells compared to inactive individuals [11] - Exercise strengthens the hippocampus, protecting against Alzheimer's and dementia [9][15] Practical Recommendations - 150 minutes of moderate-intensity cardio per week is recommended to see benefits [23] - Maintaining heart rate around 60-75% of maximum heart rate during exercise is beneficial [23] - Incorporating complex motor skills and repeating patterns can increase gray matter in the brain [25][26]
