Hi, today’s post is a few links to research about the brain.
Sharpbrains.com – I’m a big fan of this site, especially the resources section, and within the resources section, scroll down past the “books” section to the “articles,” and click on:
* “Change or Die” – Which of these three is the greatest contributor to health – lifestyle, genetics, or environment? The answer may surprise you.
* “Juggling Juggles the Brain” – The brain can physically change.
Emotion vs. logic in investing. A couple of articles:
* Lizards, rats & the investor’s primitive brain – Some examples of emotions winning out over logic.
* Emotion rules the brain’s decisions – What does the brain reveal about your motivation when you think about investing? As shown through brain imaging.
I’m so happy I found this post on the brain. It’s so useful. I teach my senior students about the brain and learning disabilities and am always looking for new material. I’m enjoy the rest of your bolg as well.
I really liked that change or die article…bookmarked!
Hi Elona, thanks for writing! Elona, great to know about your teaching brain-related research to your senior students. Have you read either of the two books by Goldberg: The Wisdom Paradox and The Executive Brain? I am reading them, and they are so interesting! The Wisdom Paradox is about the mind aging and developing something somewhat difficult to describe, but akin to ‘wisdom,’ for example, the mind gets better at pattern recognitions and big picture thinking. To me, it’s an especially interesting way to look at aging and the brain. And in general, sharpbrains.com has good info in their monthly suggestions and tips and ask-the-experts.
Dave, agreed, that is one intense and interesting article!
Senia, many thanks for the nice words on our website. If there are any questions that you or your readers want to ask our scientific advisors, or you have any suggestions on our content, please let me know.
Kind regards,
Alvaro
