“Everybody goes into different dimensional planes. You do it every night when you dream. You are journeying into other dimensional planes. Dreams are not just functions of the cerebral cortex.” DifferentDreamScienceNightBuddhismFunctionPlanesEvery NightCerebral Author:Frederick Lenz
“Studies by Andrew Newberg and others have shown that long-term practice of meditation produces significant alterations in cerebral blood flow in parts of the brain related to attention, emotion, and some autonomic functions.” LongTermEmotionAttentionBrainPracticeStudyMeditationBloodProduceFlowFunctionSignificantLong TermRelatedAndrewCerebralAlterationsBlood Flow Book:Hallucinations Source: Hallucinations
“The future of human relationships will be directly related to the cerebral functions. For this reason it is already a fundamental thing. In the past, and well until today, some South American countries have had a great neuropharmacological history, since the natives' times. It is necessary that we remind ourselves of the many licit and illicit drugs that were generated in our continent and that act on the brain.” HumansWellsCountryReasonTodayPastBrainDrugFunctionFundamentalsSouthRelatedContinentsHuman RelationsHuman RelationshipsCerebral Author:Rodolfo Llinas
“The Neurosciences do not exist exclusively to understand man's nature. They also serve a social function, such as in the treatment of the cerebral diseases or when helping us to have a more pleasant and constructive life. It is a thing that one could explore well.” MenWellsHelpingSocialDiseaseFunctionPleasantTreatmentNeuroscienceConstructiveCerebral Author:Rodolfo Llinas
“A fixed habit is supported by old, well-worn pathways in the brain. When you make conscious choices to change a habit, you create new pathways. At the same time, you strengthen the decision-making function of the cerebral cortex while diminishing the grip of the lower, instinctual brain. So without judging your habit, whether it feels like a good one or a bad one, take time to break the routine, automatic response that habit imposes.” FeelsWellsChoicesDecisionBrainBreakJudgingHabitConsciousFunctionResponseFixedDecision MakingRoutineTake TimeWornPathwaysCerebral Author:Deepak Chopra
“No physiologist who calmly considers the question in connection with the general truths of his science, can long resist the conviction that different parts of the cerebrum subserve different kinds of mental action. Localization of function is the law of all organization whatever: separateness of duty is universally accompanied with separateness of structure: and it would be marvellous were an exception to exist in the cerebral hemispheres.” KindLongDifferentWould BeActionLawScienceExistenceDutyConnectionsOrganizationAccountsFunctionStructureCalmConvictionExceptionDifferent KindsMarvellousCerebralHemisphereSeparateness Author:Herbert Spencer
“I consider the differences between man and animals in propensities, feelings, and intellectual faculties, to be the result of the same cause as that which we assign for the variations in other functions, viz. difference of organization; and that the superiority of man in rational endowments is not greater than the more exquisite, complicated, and perfectly developed structure of his brain, and particularly of his ample cerebral hemispheres, to which the rest of the animal kingdom offers no parallel, nor even any near approximation, is sufficient to account for.” MenFeelingsCausesDifferencesAnimalResultsBrainGreaterOffersIntellectualOrganizationAccountsFunctionStructureComplicatedKingdomsRationalSufficientFacultySuperiorityParallelsVariationExquisitePropensityEndowmentCerebralHemisphereApproximationAnimal Kingdom Author:Sir William Lawrence, 1st Baronet
