  • Nurture would include education, parenting, learning, and time invested into the subject’s amount of learning.

      This is what a person is given through his/her environment when growing up.

      Perhaps there aren't ways to necessarily produce a genius, but we can for sure push a person to reach his/her full potential. 
  • Galileo, who applied his scholarly knowledge and found truth. Alexander the Great, tactically in battle. Benjamin Franklin, the inventor of many modern devices. Albert Einstein, a superb and original scholar. Andy Warhol, for his outstandingly appealing original creativity. Bill Gates, a technological thinker who applied his knowledge creatively.

      This link is credible because it is from studies conducted by the well known University Harvard
  • Under the current official definition, PTSD is diagnosed only if you have been exposed to actual or threatened death or serious injury and responded with fear, helplessness, or horror.
  • The point in a person’s life when a trauma occurs may also predict her likelihood of developing the disorder.

  • some women develop PTSD after a traumatic childbirth.

      I find this very interesting, i was completely unaware that a milestone this common could lead to PTSD. 
  • PTSD may also occur following a heart attack or diagnosis of cancer.
    • Zach Fenlon

      More examples that i never even considered possible. 
  • Avoidance: Avoiding thoughts, feelings, activities, places, and people associated with the trauma. This may result in social withdrawal and becoming numb to positive as well as negative emotions.

      I did not know this to be a symptom. I wonder how easy it would be to identify. 
  • Symptoms lasting more than three months are considered chronic PTSD
  • Occasionally, someone develops “delayed PTSD” six months later or more, following a reminder of the event.
  • In the June 28, 2004, Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers from the Veterans Administration reported that women with PTSD have more medical conditions and worse physical health than non-traumatized women, even those with depression.

      At first i only associated PTSD with causing suicide, but i didn't realize that it is also impacted the physical health or it's subjects. 
  • “The amygdala appears to be overreactive in PTSD. We’re currently examining whether it is already overreactive, making someone more vulnerable to PTSD, or becomes that way in response to trauma,”
    • Zach Fenlon
      Zach Fenlon on 03 May 13
       
      This interests me because from what i understand, perhaps PTSD could be avoided in patients who are already more vulnerable. 
  • the hippocampus and the anterior cingulate cortex, appear not to function as well in those with PTSD.”
  • gradual and repeated exposure can reduce symptoms and help change how you respond to the triggering situations.
  • although not all clinical trials have shown them to work better than placebo.

      I would like to read more on some of these studies. 
  • adrenaline acts to strengthen memories,
  • testing whether an adrenaline-reducing medication, the hypertension drug propranolol, might help block abnormal memory formation and prevent PTSD.

  • The unconscious mind is still viewed by many psychological scientists as the shadow of a “real” conscious mind
  • unconscious is not identifiably less flexible, complex, controlling, deliberative, or action-oriented than is its counterpart.
  • traditionally defined the unconscious in terms of its unintentional nature; this research has demonstrated the existence of several independent unconscious behavioral guidance systems: perceptual, evaluative, and motivational.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • unconscious as the primary guiding influence over daily life, even today, is more specific and detailed than any to be found in contemporary cognitive or social psychology
  • unconscious relative to conscious modes of information processing largely depends on how one defines the unconscious

  • the brain appears to react more to success than failure, supporting previous evidence that we learn more from a positive outcome than a negative one.
  • Monkeys
  • family pets respond more to reward than punishment
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • the prefrontal cortex and the striatum—“keep track of recent successes and failures for many seconds, long enough for it to play a role in guiding the learning the next time an opportunity to learn comes up
  • monkeys’ brains are similar enough to humans
  • neural processing in the brain improves after a recent success and doesn't improve much after a recent failure
  • [T]he neurons themselves retained a memory of the correct action, paving the way for continued success
  • a study by psychology professor Mario Liotti. Liotti and his team examined magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brains of swimmers who failed to qualify for the 2004 Olympic team. The scans were recorded while the swimmers watched videos of their failed qualifying races. Liotti “found that a region of the brain that plans future actions (the pre-motor cortex) appeared inhibited when the elite athletes saw themselves “lose,”
  • But endorphins, which are “stimulated by exercise alone and heightened when accompanied by experiences like winning or a spectacular performance,” create “ephemeral” reactions in the brain

    This is a great site because everyone can get their own individual answers. This site offers a better look at how to study and I can see myself using this in the futur.

    I like how this website tells you that your learning is all about you. It gives you 4 steps so you can make a personalized plan for yourself. Great website.

      This website is very interesting because it helps me understand some studies that are currently being done about the causes of schizophrenia. Scientists believe that several genes are a cause of schizophrenia, but these genes need to be combined with an environmental factor to result in schizophrenia. Also. they noticed that the brain of a person with schizophrenia has a different architecture than one without. For example, they tend to have less gray matter and the ventricles are larger.
