Intelligence Vs Memory

-


Every organ in our body is designed for a specific function. No organ or tissue can function beyond that function. For example, your heart pumps blood.Your kidneys filter your blood and remove toxic compounds and substances as urine. Your skeleton supports you. It helps you to move. It produces blood. The tissues mentioned above have undergone some permanent function...

What do you think about your brain?

It is difficult to talk about the overall function of the brain. Today we are going to talk about a specific area of your brain called "Amygdala".

The amygdala plays a special role in creating memories and also plays a special role in responding to an external stimulus. Let's take an example.

If you see a dog,  that information goes to the occipital cortex of the brain and gives the signal "You saw a dog. "Then the amygdala, the brain's memory center, immediately search data's stored there about dogs whether you love them or not. If you are a person who don't love dogs, amygdala gives you the information that you don't like the dog. It then triggers a response that represents that you don't like the dog.

You react to lots of what you see, hear, or feel as a pre-programmed response. So you quickly start to react to the world in a way that is habitual.

Can this be changed?

What if I tell you yes?

Intelligence allows you to think differently about something before you react to it. It can analyse details differently and newly and can change the attitude towards that detail..So the intelligence is built at your prefrontal cortex.

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a crucial role in analysis and complex cognitive functions. It's involved in executive functions like planning, decision-making, and problem-solving, which all require analyzing information and making inferences. 

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) can exert control over the amygdala, a brain region involved in emotional responses, particularly fear and anxiety. It especially the medial prefrontal cortex  and the amygdala are interconnected and work together to regulate emotional expression. The PFC can help to modulate the amygdala's activity, influencing fear processing and the overall emotional state. 


So that's why Intelligence  become more powerful than Memory !

Consciousness

Stop! Take a moment and ask yourself, Are you Conscious? How do you know that you are Conscious? What is your idea about the highest level of Consciousness one can achieve for yourself? What is your definition of Consciousness? Since my early childhood, I have questioned myself how individuals' conscious manipulation exists and how our free will arises from it. Still, those are unresolved puzzles to humans. Here I expect to discuss the basic Scientific background and philosophical background behind "Consciousness." Science of Consciousness Scientifically, consciousness is defined as the state of being aware of oneself and one's surroundings, encompassing thoughts, sensations, and experiences, and is a neurobiological property of the brain. Vital areas for Consciousness If damage occurs to specific parts of the thalamus, or to a particular region of the brain stem, the result can be permanent unconsciousness. In addition to these parts, the cerebral cortex also contrib...

Spontaneous Human Combustion(SHC)

This was included in the stream of “ Paranormal Incidents .” What is   a Paranormal Incident ? The word consists of two parts: Para and Normal. The definition implies that  the scientific explanation of the world around us is normal and anything that is above, beyond, or contrary to that is “Para” . Scientific Overview Combustion Combustion refers to the process where a substance burns in the presence of Oxygen, giving off heat and light in the process. In chemistry, a fuel is a substance that, when burned (or combusted), releases a usable amount of energy, typically in the form of heat. This process involves a chemical reaction with an oxidizer, most commonly oxygen, where the fuel's stored chemical energy is converted into thermal energy.   In combustion, flame color is directly related to the temperature and the chemical composition of the fuel, as well as the presence of soot or other particles.  Blue flames indicate the hottest , most comple...

Pineal Gland

There are many unsolved areas in the mechanism of this anatomical area of ​​the brain. Some of these theses are still at the theoretical level, and due to the lack of scientific studies, we cannot gain full knowledge of the topic. However, here we try to get a basic idea by applying a foundation to hidden knowledge.   Your pineal gland, also called the pineal body or epiphysis cerebri , is a tiny gland in your brain that’s located beneath the back part of the corpus callosum. It’s a part of your endocrine system and secretes the hormone melatonin. Your pineal gland’s main job is to help control the circadian cycle of sleep and wakefulness by secreting melatonin. In addition, it secretes Serotonin , N -Dymethyltriptamine (DMT).   Melatonin action Melatonin is a hormone that your brain produces in response to darkness. It  helps with the timing of your circadian rhythms (24-hour internal clock) and with sleep . Being exposed to light at night can block melatonin product...
