Look, i know i should have come here before now but i was reluctant. So well you might. It was a long time ago its in the past. Mairead wakes up every morning without a father its not in the past for us. Im very sorry. I trusted in you and your church. I wanted to help. Telling my husband i was seeing someone else, was that supposed to help . Youre not even going to deny it, are you . If i did would you believe me . He had his fist to help him when he couldnt find the words. I never wanted you to suffer. I did suffer mairead suffered but preventing her from singing thats not going to help her. This is about mairead, its not about you and me. I thought pigs were supposed to be clever. Not mine. Will you manage . Its under control i think. The question is why i bother. You love that farm. Most people kill themselves keeping a farm because theyve a family for their kids i havent got that motivation. Youre lonely, arent you . No. Im on me own. Siobhans right, you are stubborn. Hmm. And sometimes very sweet. Sweet . Easy. Lets go for a walk. Okay. Emma im stronger than you think. Danny i dont doubt that at all.

Its hardest on niamh. I know i understand grief. Sean. I tried to tell her. Its up to you now. Tell her what . To let go and move on. I brought ambrose up on my own, a foolish thing to do if theres a choice. Well, niamhs her own woman. You talk to her, sean. After all, thats why youre here, isnt it . Ill just go and say goodnight to kieran. Orla it looks all right. Liam its perfect. You cant even see the joins. How much did it cost . Nothing. Sort of. We done a deal with danny. Im impressed. We wanted to get it all sorted out. We should have risked the choir. What . Were here to avoid your brother. And to help you out. But mainly to avoid the choir. And thats no disrespect to father aiden. Hes making a smashing job of that choir of his. I still have to talk to quigley, you know. Tell him how things are. Its a good job we got that chair fixed . But if brian asks about the house and i dont mention this thatd be like. Lying, wouldnt it . I wouldnt worry about that. But how could i lie to brian . Hes been like a father to you.

I know, this sounds like a lot and it sounds all too good to be true, but believe me, the science is there to back it up. As a neuroscientist, i can tell you that. So lets start. First, im going to tell you the single most important thing you need to know about how to create your super brain. Simply put, you need to realize that you are not your brain. Thats right. You are not your brain. You are the user of your brain. Your brain serves you. You shouldnt be serving it. And this will be a recurring theme throughout this presentation. For now, our task is to think about how to age and at the healthiest way, keep our brains healthy, and that means how can we develop a super brain . Let me that begin by telling you a little bit about your own brain. What you may not know is that one of the reigning ideas about how the brain is organized is the triune brain, meaning that the brain has three major parts, okay . So to demonstrate this, im going to use my hand. This is called the handy brain and this was developed by ucla neuropsychiatrist dan siegel the handy version of the brain. So put up your hand. Okay. Now, fold your thumb inside and make a fist. So i want to show you the three regions of the brain. Down here in the fleshy part of your palm, thats called the reptilian brain. Its the back of your head. Open your hand. In the middle, thats the limbic system or emotional brain. And then over the top is the rest of the brain. Thats all these real estate here thats still under development, the intellectual brain. Now well go one by one, okay . Lets start with that reptilian brain. The reptilian brain is about 300 million years old. It first showed up in a little lizard. The reptilian brain is your instinctive brain, so the way to think about it is can you remember the last time you got really scared . Or maybe you wanted to attack someone because they threatened you . Well, you know, hopefully not. But this often happens, for example, in bad dreams, right . You have a frustration dream. You want to lash out and attack something. This is coming from your reptilian brain. The reptilian brain is concerned with four main functions feeding, making sure you get food, fighting, you know protecting whats yours unless the other guys bigger, and fleeing is the third function, and the fourth function is reproduction, making sure the species continues, okay . So you really need this. And well get back to reptilian brain a little later. Let me move on now to the limbic brain or the emotional brain. Thats the one represented by your thumb tucked insidedeep inside the brain. This is the second oldest part of your brain. Its about 100 million years old, and it controls your emotions and your shortterm memory. Now, when youre feeling connected with those around you, a good connection, this brain region is really good to you. It lets you experience healthy emotions. You feel emotions like love, compassion, peace and joy. Your entire body and your brain feels in balance. Life is good. But when were lonely, when were disconnected from others this brain regions not happy. It feels hostility, resentment guilt, shame, anxiety. When your brain and body are out of balance, life is not so good. So this is the part of the brain that works best for you when you try to stay connected with others, staying socially engaged. The bottom line is never try to isolate yourself. We are by nature social beings. We werent intended to live alone. Were intended to interact with each other. And its the limbic or emotional brain that ensures that you will be a happy person if you do so. So now, lets move on to that third part of the brain, and thats the neocortex, the intellectual brain. This showed up about 4 million years ago, so not so long ago compared to the others. Its a pretty new part of the brain, and thats the bulk of your brain. Theres a lot of real estate there still under development. This is the part of your brain that controls your intellect and actually, youre using this part of the brain right now to understand what im telling you. Well, at least i hope you are. laughter it allows us to have longterm memories, to plan things, to predict things, to be reasonable and rational, but perhaps most importantly, it gives us free will. Free will allows us to make our own choices and decisions. You know, that little lizard with just a reptilian brain, he cant make decisions. He justits automatic, you know . Youre walkingyou know, if
