Find out why we so send a mental and other secrets of the brain now on tomorrow to day. Very symbol of love and they smell wonderful on that fragrance can also help you learn new vocabulary. According to a gen and research team, the scent of roses helps the brain retain information. My advice, just as we know, that send plays a very special role in learning. So weve always been dates will come when we learn vocabulary or anything weve learned in a specific context when, when is keep flipping smells something that you often smelled in your childhood. Youre immediately transported back to it and the contents of what fits into a level to investigate exactly how sense influence on brain newman biology is to you can call my on his team, conducted an experiment, a 165 test subjects or given envelopes and how to study japanese vocabulary for 3 days, cost to study participants had a sent it on the field with dried rose petals, the control group, and sent it on the loops filled with clean scraps of paper. Those who was surrounded by the scent of roses did better in the vocabulary test. Remembering, on average age and a half percent move a cabinet rate, the team observed that the sense proved especially effective when the participants. Whats the time pressure that decides when theres not much time or theres just a lot to learn. Theres sent appears to act like a kind of brain booster helping it retain as much as possible this month to move on to some of the study participants were exposed to the rose cent, not only while they studied, but also while they slipped. The researches wanted to know if this would help the brains still move if the new information responded to. So ill be interesting. Question is, what are the criteria for our brains to decide what goes into the long term memory and what doesnt . And beyond that, can external factors influence this Decision Making process here for an hour and, and thats where sense comes into play with a come to, to fix. Thats because sense can influence the brain while were sleep or learning specifically to keep a compass which mediate between short and long term memory. Receiving smiles is directly connected to the compass. Information of sold the same time, 10 inches long term memory more deeply. At least not the theories and sleep also plays a crucial role experiments in a sleep. The board tree have shown that during the deep sleep phase, the brain reorganizes that these parts of what it is learned and decides which information is moved into the long term memory. Center effectively reactivate. So what was that during the day . I or wendys and then when what was learned is reactivated in the brain, the probability increases that it will be consolidated. It can only be in what exactly happens in the brain during this process remains a mystery. But brain scans show that smells, can activate the compass even in deep sleep. If the brain has already associated information with a sense during the day, the cent alone can help it to store it at night. One possible explanation to say nerve cells activated. So what were ready finding when the person was awake, in order for the sense to help with learning, it has to be used in an actual test. For example, a vocabulary test. This helps the brain access what it is learned, at least for a few days. But the scent of roses doesnt protect against forgetting. The effect doesnt appear to be long term. However, it definitely can help with short term vocabulary learning. But why roses . Its actually quite random. It was the frequency used in the 1st study on the topic. Latest studies also use rogues sense so that the results could be easily compact. This event is why we and many other colleagues use rows fragrance because the original study uses rose fragrance of a, but im firmly convinced that other fragrances also work. But that has to be shown, of course, in further studies. So its possible that lavender or fit trust for example, can also help consolidate learning. At least in the short term. Researches are still figuring out how the brain Stores Information in memory and processes it at night apartment and the next time someone gives you roses. They can also help you vocabulary learning skills. Our brains also help us feel emotion to the bows, which is a viewer from bosnia and herzegovina with a truly timeless question. On this subject, the watch is loud. Its a sensation that puts up bodies interest stations. Imagine, see, similar to when danger lose, the brains go into overdrive sending out a cocktail is different, you are transmit. Is that stimulates all senses and ignite a firework. Of intense feelings in the 1st phase of falling in love. Applaud is flooded with a gentleman. Thats the same hormone thats triggered by exploration of stress and gives you bucks of flies in your stomach. It causes ops you polls to die late. The body is push on that, causing Blood Pressure impulse to rise. Meanwhile, oxy towson helps with funding and developing trust oxy. Towson is often and up the cuddle hormone, as its produced through physical contact. The come in and serotonin. Notice the happy hormones are, of course, both positive being in love, but in the early phase also are turned in levels of him slumped to 8. For example, when intoxicating happiness tends to desperate low name. When was separated from the one we love, the studies of brain waves show that being in love especially activates the areas of the brain that are responsible for sexual edges. So can we conclude that this homeland cocktail was only created by nature to ensure that we focus on one pond during reproduction in time of bodies getting used to the high level doses of home the, the and after 2 to 3 years at the latest. The immediate thrill of infatuation is that we do commit to long term partnerships and are keen to help each other out. Thats because with social creatures who derive satisfaction from supposing each other, researchers have identified specific parts of the brain that enable us to feel empathy. I found 20 years yesterday, bridge minded folks on ive been strictly schematic because my research has shown that we are all fundamentally empathetic people very much so in new jersey to at soon when ever the situation, we simply feel what other people feel attached to the ones i basically to our western world, we tend to see each other very much as individuals. But what my research has shown is how strongly were shaped by the people around us. They should be on within the last one say home. John causes is a neuro scientist. A lot of his research has focused on how well brains emphasize with other people go his research with quite a preventative experiment. First thought into is for us to undergo an m r. I scan to test things. You want to understand how our brains enable us to empathize with other peoples feelings countries. We need it to be able to trigger certain emotions during the scanner for this high speed or the most. So we had to find a stimulus that could be vocal, powerful emotions. And con, when i remember, please got to be a good form. And one way we found him doing that was to place an anesthesia mask on the test person. And then introduced various smells through the mask during the scan. Anything im thinking most chick a whole Chain Reaction in our range. That when mostly unaware of within many seconds, we register whether this money is pleasant or knows. And we respond accordingly. Also, with a physical reaction. If the smell is repulsive, we automatically put a fake, some want to leave stomach contract extreme cases, we might even throw up it was these kind of repulsive smells. Christian kinases tested. Im the one smell that works really well is a t rec acid is it really smells like butter thats gone. Really rancid. Give a lot of nice in the next run, the test participants, just the videos of people looking disgusted without smelling anything for themselves. The, lets see whats shown here is what happens when the test participants smells something unpleasant themselves get kicked up. The so called incident or is exit, which we know is involved in processing smiles. Where it gets interesting is when we look and see what happens when the touch of the candidates, just see other people responding to bad smells given days to twos guns on top of each of the b i. B as in white show what they call relate. Then come on you, you can see how a part of their own experience of discussed was reactivate. Activity it said, then they in see they really feel their stomach contracting. For example, somebody needs in magnitude, or they sense the unpleasant tastes or smells and it gets smack out. What would that cause . They sure. And the insane the knowing how bad we feel when were in pain, we have an automatic edge to help. And our brain rewards us about when we do something good, it releases the whole names. They lower stress levels and springs and already means systems dont even affect salt dna dining down so called risk genes which would otherwise promote inflammation or chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease, cancer or dimensions. So choices of remaining healthy increase but some people dont seem to have any sense of empathy for others at all. Christian kinds of studies, this going to want them to to understand what happens and what goes wrong. In these cases, we worked with a number of psycho pads from high security jails and also because of the investigative dodd. And what we observed is that when the psychopaths watched others suffering pain, the area of the brain involved and feeling pain was hardly activated at all. On the tune for an ice deep so. So at 1st we thought ok, maybe psychopaths do the terrible things they do because they just can feel pain and painting time. But psych of us are often very good manipulating people to do that. They actually have to be able to empathize quite well. So the research has told them to actively imagine themselves in the place of the victim he was currently experiencing pain. Suddenly the brains responded, just like those of the sophie test participants, that they tend to be a good man. The single one of us that made us realize that the problem is not that psycho pads. So were unable to empathize. Its just that they dont empathize spontaneously on. They only do it when they want to know done it to finish and maturing volume. Another surprising finding, we can old regulate on level of empathy according to the response to meet it. Or did you burn yourself depending on the situation . Im the on your lets go on. Cool. Let a christy on kaisers is now studying whether its possible to help people with mental disorders become more empathetic. T already succeeded in doing the opposite in another study. Subbing that entity can be surprised if i do find the experiment was actually quite simple and we showed each candidate a person being slapped on the hand on them. And then we gave them 6 zeros each and said they could choose what to do with it. Can these like they could keep for 6 years, but then this poor person would have to be slapped again just as hard with what does or that could give some of that away. Right. Every year they gave away the slap would be 110th less painful, because for math test, on the 1st go, they found the heart of the slump, the more money the candidates gave away. Once its gone, then we measured how that behavior changed. When i use the magnetic stimulus to disrupt the activity, in the so matter sense record taxes and tape the ends in lots of things organize can call, takes it touch through it. Thats the part of the brain that receives pain, even when just watching it being inflicted on audits. The temporary disruption to this function meant the candidates response no longer depended on the strength of the something. They couldnt differentiate the pain anymore. So several parts of the brain that are networks tough to Work Together in order for us to be suitably empathetic, being empathetic is on natural state. When we use that to help others, if youre feeling better, ask you to the im getting the entity to actually make us cookie and contents, which could help us to keep healthy myself in may 2023. This story gone at global interest, a paralyzed man walking again. Thanks to electronic brain implants, these devices, we quote his brain signals and send the data to a possible computer. That data is been transmitted to another implant in his spinal cord, which posts as only instructions the simple daily task of going to the market to get for street was something that got to young really messed the 40 year old was left paralyzed off. Youre an accident 12 years ago. Now he can once again enjoy this simple pleasure. The dutchman is the 1st person to receive a new type of double implant. That creates a direct me or electrical link between the brain and the spinal cord via a wireless digital interface. Doubt to young can control his paralyzed legs with his intentions. Its cool, it was the 1st time i bought something in the market while walking. So Great Service getting gian comfortable, perfectly, that he can do things that were until recently, impossible for him. With a walking age he can stand, woke, and even climb stairs through training. His movements are improving from day to day. Listen, your scientists have been researching the technology for many years now in a fast version. That was just an implant in the spinal cord. The come ons to woke, came by a tablets now this and 5 the brain to a processing unit. And the movements a mo, natural socratic with the preprogrammed stimulation walking was much more robotic, not very fluid. Now though, because the brain directly controls the stimulation, we have a very smooth, coordinated gait. Escape, i will send updates in this with paraplegic center. The reset is being followed with great interest if moment yes, a cure, but its the best possible technical solution says the head physician. These are few, those of phoebes is concepts. The concept within this development is fantastic to close time to go to i believe its the future, at least until we have a therapy with which we can heal spinal cord injuries, island can assist you. Its definitely new and exciting and will trigger a great amount of emotions amongst our patients. So houses and violence. Im protecting this new concept. Harolds a new era in the treatment of maybe 2 deficits in the future. Some of the technology will likely be able to restore the function of the ohms and hands as well. Brain implants can also use the symptoms of parkinsons. The treatment can reduce, trim is and muscle rigidity using electrical stimulation. Many patients who suffer from the disease have manufactured jim is idle, is conscious during the operation to implant electrodes into his brain. The surgeon needs him to respond and speak is idle, was diagnosed with parkinsons in his mid forties. Despite heavy medication, his tremors wont go away. These hoping deep brain stimulation will help the citizens. We can see the tremors very clearly. Now were going to stimulate individual contracts the day before the procedure due. You went down for a walk. Hes not scared. He just longs for the tremors to stop. You can see how much im trembling to that im not shivering due to the cold. Its the tremor by hand writing is affected. I also leisure activities going out to eat with my wife. Some people just see me for the 1st time, think i can count up to 3. They talk down to me. So 1st the skype and parkinsons forced him to cut down his working hours. He cant go on business trips, let alone run them, our phone, and the drugs that are intended to boost doping mean levels in his brain effect is moved. I want my life that due to being ins, university hospital, they have long experience with deep brain stimulation. This brain piece baker can be adjusted as the illness gets more severe or symptoms change to be able to respond quickly. They have recently begun to use a smart watch to measure tremors, agility, and sleeping patterns by his sensors. This is inside of the how you can see your hand is moving about and also your arm a little bit. The legal does on those movements are now being recorded and stored. Its like a long term monitoring fee and hes on a long testimony. Totally. Numerous parkinsons sufferers have already under gotten this procedure world wide. It almost doesnt draw any blood. Tiny holes have to be drilled into this go for the electrode implants from there on its a highly delicate operation. Planned with c t images during the operation measurements are taken to gauge whether the electrodes are in the right place. Were going to check the shows in the region step by step 10, up to flip the switch. They have to be implanted several centimeters deep into the brain. Tims idle has to continue to raise is on the system because all the tremor is also being measured via the motion sensors on your arm and the watch which we fitted yesterday with the well, if it gets done on the block column after 4 hours, the electrodes are finally in place. No team site will can finally sleep. Under general anesthetic, they connect together the cables under his skin and implants, the brain pace maker below his collarbone. Deep brain stimulation is becoming increasingly sophisticated. Growing knowledge about individual areas of the brain means more precision. As part of an international study, they are now testing how closely they can monitor a patients condition by collecting data via smartwatch. Definitely technology now gives us access to a constant stream of information indicated from what we know about daytime fluctuations. We know whether things are better or worse mornings or afternoons. We know whether a patient would benefit from an adjustment in the mid to long term. For an annoying i understand them. The treatment is working for teams. Idol. He is back in the hospital 8 weeks later, for minor tweaks. Neurologist down your advice switches off the brain piece, baker 1st to see how bad the symptoms are without any correction. Yes, your right hand is now trembling a lot more just to uncontrollably. Uncontrollably. Hold you on like that again. My legs are starting now. One thing and ill switch the simulator on again. And the tremor disappears with the flick of a switch. It takes you a 2nd for when you switch it on or off the effect just immediate on like tablets that can take a long time. My upside, im really pleased. Its worked for me to have something else. Jim sidle can write neatly again, i can easily eat and work in the garden with his wife. I thought it was because i dont have to take care of my parking suits anymore. And i can look after myself and plan and didnt join my leisure time. And i can do my chose again. I can also use a chain, sorry to cut down a branch, but id prefer to do it by hand, but i enjoy the fact that i can team is wife or even planning a trip on attend alberto. But the procedure doesnt work as well for everyone. Deep brain stimulation can also cause side effects, just like medication symptoms can persist or return, but the 2 of them just want to look ahead. Lets go back on quality of life. We still have plans ahead of us and hes so young and so you would have been a shame if you havent done a shot events, enough missed you must it to another huge benefit. He doesnt have to go to the hospital as much anymore is brain pace. Maker can be adjusted remotely. How have you been likely . Uh, ive had to take much less medication for the tremor is really diminished after the negative on the doctors can access is implanted pacemak
