process‚ which is modulated by the reptilian brain. During occasions of fear‚ the thinking brain can literally shut down and cause you to react in an entirely automatic‚ unconscious‚ and -- all too often‚ irrational way. The neocortex‚ the limbic and reptilian brains are interactive and signals travel in all directions. Thoughts originating in the neocortex‚ become chemicals that engender emotions in the limbic system that manifest as vivid imagery and corresponding "body felt sensations‚" resulting

During the growth and development of the brain‚ the physical structures and neural pathways of the brain can change dramatically. Various regions of the brain may grow‚ new synapses may be created‚ or unused synapses may be pruned off. The ability of the brain to change and adapt has been called plasticity. In the TED talk “The Growing Evidence of Brain Plasticity”‚ Dr. Michael Merzenich makes a case for brain plasticity and proposes ways this ability can be used to help various mental disorders

Louis Cozolino‚ PhD‚ has been my mentor and colleague throughout the process. He has reviewed every chapter and helped me avoid writing about possible brain pathways as if they were certainties. Because of Lou‚ I believe that everything in these pages reflects established brain science. He’s been a pleasure

The Stage of Transformation The brain is more adaptive during the period of adolescence due to the developing-mind between the years of 12 and 25. The brain has the least amount of growth during this phase‚ however it experiences vast reconstruction‚ absorbing everything that the synapses find useful to succeed in the life ahead. The brain begins to shape itself using the neurons extensively to make the mind more efficient for when adulthood comes. These traits acquired during adolescence stays
