Feminine Brain and Chocolate: An Insight Into Urban Neuroscience, Enrico Banchi

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

The modern world is a communicating world. People make business together, work together, chat together, play together, live together. These are special times to living in. Millions of stimulae reach our brain every day, and each brain is connected in a different way, so we act upon these stimulae in different ways. There are similarities though. Due to our primordial brain structure statistically a feminine brain, under the ineludible orders of the hormones, lights up certain circuitry depending on the situation. This seminar will introduce people to the fascinating world of the "Urban Neuroscience". It will describe the differences between the gender of our brain, according to the latest science discoveries. Additionally it will give insights on the functioning of our endocrine system with a plain but accurate description of our most important hormones and their action on our behaviors. This presentation was used at HR Summit and Expo 2013 www.hrsummitexpo.com

same reasons.”

… let’s talk about neuroscience

www.enricobanchi.com

Neuroscience address all the topic linked to brain’s development as perception, sensations, learning,

memory, movement, sleeping, efforts, ageing and positive/negative ratio. It

investigate molecules, cells and genes responsible of the correct functioning of

nervous system.

Men and Women are essentially different!

It is not a matter of better or worst: they’re simply different.

Scientist, Anthropologist and Sociologist are aware of this fact from

long period, but they prefer not to spread this information in a word so

“politically correct”...

Women blame men of:

being insensitive and careless; not listening enough;

Everything is in mind! Women have better cerebral

connections

Left and right emispheres are connected by a bundle of neural fiber, called CORPUS CALLOSUM, that facilitate

interhemispheric communication. The research of the neurologist Roger Gorski of California University

demonstrates that women have a thicker corpus callosum than men, that contains 30% more interhemispheric

connections. Gorski has also demonstrated that men and women use different brain’s sections to cope with the same

activity.

Everything is in Mind! How brain is analyzed?

The first scientific tests about the differences between genders were

conducted in 1882 by Francis Galton, at London Museum...

The first data on specific localization of cerebral function were collected studying

patients with cerebral damages. Scientists discovered, for example, that man with the left empisphere damaged had lost completely or almost completely their verbal skills, whereas women didn’t

present so heavy deficit...

Una molecola, la feniletilamina, normalmente prodotta dall'organismo, quando l'approccio

comincia a muovere le possenti leve del desiderio, cresce fino a raggiungere livelli elevati. La

feniletilamina è contenuta (in dosi non certo elevate) nella cioccolata e ciò potrebbe validare la percezione di alcuni che ravvisano in tale alimento qualità antidepressive. La feniletilamina, crescendo

in quantità, favorisce il rilascio di dopamina il cui ruolo è centrale per l'ottenimento della sensazione che consegue alla soddisfazione di stimoli quali la fame, la sete, il desiderio sessuale. L'incontro che

promette una vasta gamma di soddisfazioni alimenta i meccanismi associativi con il piacere e la

feniletilamina sale ancora. www.enricobanchi.com
