I run a small company and wondered if I could use the photograph displayed here on my website?

Hi there,

I came across this blog of yours and was very impressed by the quality of your writing and choice of interesting subjects. I have written up a short profile on my own blog:

Comment on BOLD fMRI, a clear new view of the brain by Jerome Liss, M.D.

I appreciate your articles on brain changes with meditation.
There is a study by Berridge et al that shows how an amygdala-locus coeruleus interaction increases noradrenalin that inhibits the hippocampus and cingular gyrus, thus inhibiting the normal contextualization of the emotional amygdala. So meditation increases hippocampus size and thus increases such emotional control.

I am a newcomer to blogs. Can you suggest something?

My articles on neurophysiology and emotions: http://www.biosistemica.org, look for English articles.

I’m a psychiatrist.

Comment on Practice makes perfect: Dendritic Pruning & LTP by Chris B

This post rocks! Glad to see we have some ridiculously smart minds among us at the farm. We’re gonna need them to start drawing our understanding out of the natural world to understand our own inner “natural world”. Those pruning concepts bring up a psych 101 fact I learned in undergrad. We’re born with more connections that we have as we age, not only are connections reinforced, they are pruned, recreated and often can be pruned and recreated again multiple times in a lifetime as we learn, forget and relearn things.

Peace and see you on the farm,
C

I protest pruning in all forms! Bocknaggler, I say to the channels Na + & Ca2+! Connecting to even the most droll dendritic mouth breather that can regurgitate the fresh hockle-strocky on the minds of millions to the souls of billions! Reassociation creates a standardization. Menial mental mayhem worked thus far… We would all like to dance with the seven fingered lady, but there are rules and regulations to this factory of life. If every Jon Q. Neuron could swing to the left, and swing to the right- there would be no organic chaos- a waste of good light.

So do you hope to isolate the “epiphany center” of the brain and learn to stimulate it, or find where the ignorant brain lacks structure and develop it’s synapses?
