The brain controls everything the body does including all cognitive functions like memory, thingking and focus. Maintaining healthy brain function is a top concern in for seniors and baby boomers. The brain health guide contains tips that no other book contains on the topics of brain health and memory improvement.

The Brain Health Guide features real world breakthrough research with translatable steps to help you improve memory. Just fill out the short contact of your information then you can access to the latest edition of the Brain Health Guide.

As age expectancy continues to rise in the United States more demand are put on the brain. Scientists estimate between 30,000 and 50,000 brain cell loose every single day in the normal process of aging. Loosing brain cells lead to everyday absent mindedness like misplacing of car keys and eyeglasses. Research has shown you can improve the health of your brain.

Lost of Partial Memory

I just quote from question and answer of Kompas.com:

Question:.
I have just learned that my sister a few days ago, having lost her memory. Surprisingly, her memory loss, she experienced a part memory loss not absolute (or all memory is lost), only one thing missing from his memory.

He could not remember who her student fellows, are a lecturer in the faculty, principally relating to the names and faces of people he knew in his faculty.

However, my sister still remembers the lectures lesson, class schedules, remember high school friends, family, and other things. That he could not remember are peoples just in the faculty. Why it's happening dock? Is there any interference with the brain nerve or psychiatric, or else? Thank you very much for your help.

ANSWER:

What might be experienced by Iza's brother called as dissociative amnesia. This condition refers to an amnesia condition characterized by loss of memory for a particular event or events that can not be explained by a common memory loss condition.

Usually the event forgotten is a traumatic events in the past or that provide excessive stress to the person. For this case Iza's brother, seems something to do with environmental conditions related to faculty, especially faculty and friends. For that, need further examination by experts of psychiatric doctor’s alias psychiatrist.

This condition usually requires psychodynamic psychotherapy is based on analytic and can only be performed by an experienced psychiatrist. Psychiatrists are also typically able to perform hypnosis can help patients with dissociative amnesia condition.

One of the things why should psychiatrists who handle these cases because the condition of dissociative amnesia associated with cognitive and memory-related patterns of traumatic or stressful events that need to get distribution to get out or transformed into a more healthy or mature.

Improve Your Memory

If people ask about how good your memory, the answer often time just base on the remembering; the name of the new neighbor down the hall, where you put your car keys, your niece’s birthday, or perhaps the Pythagorean theorem from geometry class decades ago. But according to the “grand masters” of memory, the key to championship memorizing has little to do with any of that.

In the United States each year a select group of mental athletes competes to win the USA memory championship held in New York City. The contest includes events like memorizing an entire deck of shuffled cards in less than two minutes, or memorizing 99 faces and names in 15 minutes.

Other method is to use elaborate mnemonic device. Champion memorizers can almost instantaneously associate abstract, hard to remembers symbols like numbers or playing cards with more memorable images, actions or places; these images can then be strung together like mental sentences, allowing people to remember vast quantities of data.

To increasing our memory can be practice, it’s a skill like any other, you talk to an olympic swimmer or something like that and they might be intense in the water, but outside of the water they may be the slowest, chill, laid back. A lot of people expect to have this awesome memory, which is not necessarily the case.

Alzheimer's Disease

The biggest fear of people to brain diseases of become growing old and chances are not because of their hair change to gray or their skin become wrinkles, but the devastating loss of their mental capacity. This disease called as Alzheimer's disease that accounts for 60 to 80 percent of all dementias, striking as many as 5 million Americans. Some scientist conclude that this disease has genetic underpinnings, and it's also associated with certain lifestyle factors including diet, exercise and lever of education. Some studies suggest of eating more fruits and vegetables and less saturated fat to prevent from this disease. Other suggest point to folic acid or fish oil supplements as beneficial.

The state of science on paper published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, said that people with a higher level of education have a lower risk of Alzheimer's disease, but that doesn't mean going to grad school will protect you. This because educated people have more reading and challenge their brain that have a disease preventing effect. Here's what the scientists to either raise or lower your Alzheimer's risk.

Mapping Our Memories

When you observe this webpage, billions of neuron glowing as long the sinaps, trigger memories, and reveals again about what you know, and respond to new words. What will you remember depend on the brain parts work together. This is what happening on our brain when they response to something that happening on our body organ.

The memories process divided into two kinds, long-term memory and short-term memory. But in principle the long-term or short-term memories can be expressed again. The process of remembering for long-term is concluded in three ways:

1. Immediate: Inputs received from the sense organ on the inside cortex.
2. Then stored in just millionth second
3. Memories work: Frontal cortex receive that information, and make available for sudden use (if ask about what are you reading, you will say “Memories”) and coordinate of use with other cortex parts.
4. Encoding: the activity on the hippocampus and the surround area change the short-term memory into the long-term memory. The neutron connection formed when cortex stimulate by information, is strengthened and linked to the emotional condition during the process in progress. You will remember this “Hippocampus” is the Greek language which means of “sea-horse.” This brain part is named like this because have curve shaped.

The retention on the facts and events
After few second the relevant facts begin encoding with help by hippocampus and other area of lobus temporal medial.

The retention of skills and habits
The habits and motoric skill such as driving bicycle is unconscious memories. This memory depend on ganglia basal and cerebellum (small brain).

Emotional Memories
Amygdala is the central of neuron connections that is created by emotional events, especially afraid of feeling. These memories possible to act quickly if the situation is threatening.

Store and retrieve
Hippocampus is located the memories but don’t keep them. After encoding the memory locate in the cortex area as the first place of information is and processed. When needed or stimulate by the emotion, the memory will activated to be used.

Forget Process
Most of us don’t remember of the memories before 3 or 4 years old, a phenomenon which is called by child amnesia, along with increasing the age, our memories to decline gradually, especially the ability to recall things previously viewed or learned

Those all process are called as Mapping of Memory.

Brainwashing

Brainwashing is the process of deliberately subjecting individuals to physical and psychological hardship in order to alter thoughts, attitudes, and actions. It differs from other forms of persuasion or instructions, not only in the key element of coercion but in the radical intent to clear the mind totally of one set of ideas and replace them by another, often completely opposed set.

The two aspects of brainwashing are confession of past crimes of errors, and reeducation to new beliefs. Prisoners are brought to confess by lack of sleep and food and other forms of intense physical discomfort, isolation from familiar surroundings, a prison routine requiring absolute obedience and humility, and social pressure from cell mates. The last includes mutual criticsm and self criticsm sessions, which play particularly on the generalized guilt feeling that all people have to some extent. At the same time regular indoctrination sessions are conducted. The acceptance of the new idea is again fostered by group pressure and the anticipated reward of freedom.

Improved understanding of psychology and neurophysiology have enabled modern totalitarian regimes to create extremely effective brainwashing programs. Some of their technique, however, have been used for centuries; the Inquisition, for example, elicited confession from alleged heretics by similar methods.

HEADACHE

Pain that occurs over various parts of the head is called headache. It is one of humankind’ s most common afflictions. In the united State alone, up to 50 million person seek medical help for this problem every year, and about half a billion dollars is spent on headache remedies annually.

Most headache are caused not by organic disease but by fatigue, emotional disorder, or allergies. Intermittent tension headaches are caused by worry, anxiety, overwork, or inadequate ventilation. The most common type – a chronic tension headache- is often caused by depression. Only about 2 % of all headache result from organic disorder, including diseases of the eye, ear, nose, throat, and sinuses; brain tumors, hypertension, and aneurism (the ballooning of artery, brought about by a weakness in the arterial wall)

Brain tissue itself is sensitive to pain, as is the bony covering of the brain (the cranium) Headache pain result from the stimulation of such-pain sensitive structures as the membranous lining of the brain (the meninges) and the nerves of the cranium and upper neck.

This stimulation can be produce by inflammation, by the dilation of blood vessels of the head, or by muscle spasms in the neck and head. Headache brought on by muscle spasms are classified as tension headache; those caused by the dilation of blood vessels are called vascular headache. These are the major grouping of headache, besides those brought on by organic disorder.
