How the human brain functions? What part does what? What is it made of? What does it need to work optimally? What makes human brain different?
I recently came across a very interesting piece in the NY Post which cites a study that shows that while it was well known that a difference in size between male and female brains exists,
Learn the secrets of the two elements of your brain: white matter and grey matter. See how each works together and how to improve them both for a healthy, happy brain!
The brain needs exercise just like any other part of the body. Neglecting to put your gray matter through mental hurdles now and then will leave it weak and vulnerable to early onset Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. The short of it is this: everyone needs a hobby or two in their lives. More Continue Reading »

Eggs aren't just delicious—they can also boost your mood, keep you sharp, and sometimes prevent cancer. Here are seven reasons to eat more eggs.
The volume of a small brain region influences one's predisposition for altruistic behavior. Researchers have shown that people who behave more altruistically than others have more gray matter at the junction between the parietal and temporal lobe, thus showing for the first time that there is a connection between brain anatomy, brain activity and altruistic behavior.
A new study has found caffeine consumption can reduce the volume of gray matter in the human brain. The researchers stress these findings do not imply caffeine negatively impacts the brain but the drug may induce a kind of temporary neural plasticity.
Be kind to your mind by giving it all the attention and nourishment it needs.
Frequent caffeine consumption reduces gray matter volume in areas of the right medial temporal lobe, including the hippocampus. Ten days of "caffeine abstinence" helps regenerate gray matter.
People with multiple sclerosis who develop PML often see severe disability worsening of their neurologic symptoms during the infection.
Coffee, cola or an energy drink: caffeine is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive substance. Researchers from the University of Basel have now shown in a study that regular caffeine intake can change the gray matter of the brain. However, the effect appears to be temporary.
Anatomy of the limbic system (emotional brain), reward system, and reticular formation.
After just one season of playing football, neuroimaging technology reveals changes in gray and white matter correlated with exposure to head trauma in high school students, a new study reports.
Older adults who are physically active have greater gray matter volume and a decreased risk of Alzheimer's disease, a new study reports.

We often hear about the power of gratitude for creating a more positive and happy mental state. But did you know that gratitude literally transforms your brain? According to UCLA's Mindfulness Awareness Research Center, regularly expressing gratitude literally changes the molecular structure of the brain, keeps the gray matter functioning, and makes us healthier and happier. When you feel happiness, the central nervous system is affected. You are more peaceful, less reactive, and less resistant. And gratitude is the most effective practice for stimulating feelings of happiness.
