But the real big step was the neocortex.

In fact, the neocortex in the human brain is evolving at an enormous speed.

47. Meningococcal cerebrospinal meningitis (CSM) is an endemic disease in the Sudan.

And amygdala not only processes emotions, it also helps to store memories.

It's that ongoing brain chatter that connects me and my internal world to my external world.

So here in the red square, that's the controls.

So, you can think of the neocortex actually as the ultimate solution today, of the universe as we know it.

And the brain started to fold in on itself, and that's why the neocortex is so highly convoluted.

So you can think of the neocortex actually as a massive grand piano, a million key grand piano.

So the next step is just to take these brain coordinates and to project them into perceptual space.

Current research includes the tracking of changes that occur in the motor areas of the cerebral cortex as a result of a stroke.

For cerebrospinal meningitis, he suggested altered house designs, early vaccination initiatives, mobile clinics and health education.

So that the emotions that come with laughter, are part of what leads to your learning, that the amygdala not only stores those memories, it also decides where in the brain to store them.

And this is something you see actually, it's been well documented that as we get older, not just there, but across most of our cortex, it actually shrinks as we get older.

After the burst of activity the blood flow to the cerebral cortex in the area affected is decreased for two to six hours.

The motor impulses originates in the giant pyramidal cells or Betz cells of the motor area i.e., precentral gyrus of cerebral cortex.

It is traditionally thought to be in Brodmann area 22, which is located in the posterior section of the superior temporal gyrus (STG) in the dominant cerebral hemisphere (which is the left hemisphere in about 95 of right handed individuals and 60 of left handed individuals).

If you zoom into the surface of the neocortex, you discover that it's made up of little modules, G5 processors, like in a computer.

Vilayanur Ramachandran tells us what brain damage can reveal about the connection between celebral tissue and the mind, using three startling delusions as examples.

But then, another part of your brain that comes into use is the amygdala, which is a deep internal structure here, that processes emotions.

When we laugh, the cerebral emits needed information to activate the secretion of enkephalins, which posses similar properties to morphine with the ability to relieve pain.

Under certain circumstances, such as following tissue damage in ischemia, neurogenesis can be induced in other brain regions, including the neocortex.

The power of laughter to improve the effectiveness of medicine has been scientifically proved when it was discovered that the cerebral cortex releases negative electronic impulses one second after the start of laughter.

The mortality rate for ischemic heart diseases was 44.97 per cent and the corresponding rate for cerebrovascular diseases was 25.4 per cent per 100,000 inhabitants.

And what was interesting was that in this one region, the 50 year old meditators had the same amount of cortex as the 25 year olds, suggesting that meditation practice may actually slow down or prevent the natural age related decline in cortical structure.

Where we want to be most of the time if there is not an immediate physical threat, we actually want to be in our neocortex.

So when something bad is coming your way this cross cultural tip tells you to think of 5 things you are thankful for and if you do that you have a fighting chance to get your neocortex and in my case as a mother is to maybe be quiet to ask good questions and to see the bigger picture
