The Rough Guide of the Brain writen by biologist. It is a good book that make your sense how degree we know of our brain so far. I like one of the examples, talking of the important role of emotion in life. Emotion is originally from amygdala that governs the motivation and decision, then inspires the physical changes. Those changes respond to brain again, generating feeling. Emotion can be excited either by real world or by imagination. How amazing, it seems like emotion that could come up from the insteller world or anywhere. The subject of example is talking of a businessman, who is successful, smart, wealthy, handsome, blah, blah. While his wife was dead, after he suffered a amygdala damage, everything is OK, except for his failing. No problem. He is still smart and rational. But due to the amygdala damage, his emotion was lost. He can make a decision just relying on his rational, rather than any emotion. It was stated that the absence of emotion led to his failure. This is consistent with my view. Keeping well your personality is very important in life, which plays a key role in the crucial moment of your life. World is empty or completely full. Your personality is the original point to make you find your way, your life and your happiness. Another interesting topic is about sleep. In my perspective, sleeping is the time to make up, arranging the mindset, such as undergoing chemical processes of brain, developing the long-term memory, ect.. When at daytime, brain absorb various energies or information, at night, sleeping help us to process the information or energy by chemical processes. Interestingly, you may say God is the one who seems life a invisional band to control the chemical processes. Spiritually, or by His help, your strength of mindset will be great. Hahahahhahahah |
