Julien Bachir The idea of the human beings having a soul‚ spirit or mind has long been used; although religions started using it four thousand years ago for different reasons‚ some people that simply had a thirst for knowledge started seeking a true answer to this question not that long ago. Indeed‚ this question has seriously been thought about and logically questioned in the last 400 years starting with Descartes who thought that human beings do have an immaterial mind (mind and body dualism)

The Brain and Cognitive Functions Centuries of philosophy and science have been dedicated to unraveling the mystery behind how cognition occurs‚ how it maps to areas of the brain‚ and to what degree cognition is dependant upon these various areas in which cognitive activities are located. Modern neuroscience has helped tremendously to provide some answers as have tests on brain trama patients such as Phineas Gage which revealed startling changes in individual behavior that can be linked to damage

For example‚ the effects of moving from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to the medial frontal cortex‚ as carried out in an experiment by Jahanshahi et al. (1998)‚ could interfere as additional nerves and muscles may be activated (Jahanshahi & Rotherwell; Anand & Hotson). When task

orchestral musicians and matched non-musicians. They found that musicians have greater gray matter in Broca’s area in the left inferior frontal gyrus compared to that of non-musicians. In addition‚ significant age-related volume reductions in cerebral hemispheres‚ dorsolateral prefrontal cortex subfields bilaterally and gray matter density in the left inferior frontal gyrus were observed in non-musicians but not musicians. It was concluded that playing an instrument could promote generation and retention

The dorsolateral prefrontal association cortex gets information fro the posterior parietal cortex‚ the primary motor cortex and the frontal eye field. “Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex seems to play a role in the evaluation of external stimuli and the initiation of voluntary reactions to them”(P.J Pinel‚ 2009). The secondary motor cortex gets its information from the association cortex

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION Everything in the universe follows certain laws. The laws of nature do not apply only to earth. Our entire universe follows the same laws. These laws never change. Your coffee on a counter will always become cool. Gravity remains steady never random. The speed of light remains constant. The earth rotates in 24 hours. The laws of physics is a pattern that nature obeys without exception. It is important to understand that all matter is energy. Our thoughts‚ feelings‚ and emotions

German & Hehman (2005) conducted a study to access whether there were differences in the “theory of mind” of younger and older individuals. They wanted to understand whether their capacity to understand others motives‚ reactions‚ and thoughts would decline with age. Participants consisted of 27 young adults ( 18 females‚ 9 males) ages 18-26‚ and 29 elderly adults ( 19 females‚ 1 male) ages 62-90. They completed a series of tests‚ including proxy measures of crystallized intelligence (Mill Hill vocabulary
