5 Things You Might Not Know About Neurosculpting® by: Megan Winkler

A black and white image depicts Megan Winkler's innovative Neurosculpting® brain models stacked on shelves. The models, showcasing detailed neural patterns, are closely packed in a repetitive arrangement, illustrating the intricate artistry involved.

So you’ve heard about Neurosculpting® but you aren’t sure what it is. Maybe you imagine a clay brain and someone sculpting lines and paths through it with a rasp. Perhaps it sounds completely foreign and strange. In the simplest terms, Neurosculpting® is the integration of neuroscience and meditation, but that doesn’t even begin to explain […]

How To Enjoy “Vacation” Every Day by: Megan Winkler

A white scooter, perfect for a vacation adventure, is parked on a cobblestone street beside a building with a wooden-framed menu on the wall. A window box filled with pink flowers sits under a nearby window, inviting you to enjoy every day’s simple pleasures.

I just returned from vacationing in one of my favorite places on earth, Key West. I left the island feeling rested, tired, and happy—exactly how one should feel at the end of a long weekend away. I distinctly felt different while on vacation. I didn’t care about my “beach body”—I put my body on the […]

The Smell of Fear, An Epigenetic Trauma

A black and white image captures the hands of different ages— a baby's tiny hand, a smooth adult's, and an elderly's wrinkled one—layered together. This symbolizes generational connection and unity, subtly echoing the shadows of epigenetic trauma through time.

The Christian Bible notes “the sins of the father” can pass from one generation to another, denoting the need for each person to take full responsibility for his or her own values as they create a ripple effect upon the world. It seems as though science is saying the same thing. When U-M psychiatrist and […]

Seeing ourselves in each other…it’s more important than you think!

Two blue wireframe human heads facing each other, with brain outlines visible, suggest a meeting of minds. Three orange arrows indicate communication or connection between these important figures. The background features faint binary code, hinting at the digital network that binds our digital selves.

Have you ever heard yourself say “do you know what I mean?” during a casual conversation? This is such a common place expression that many of us use it in our regular speech patterns without putting much thought to it. The truth is that our mental health actually depends far more on this concept than we […]

Oxytocin – The Dark Side of the Love Molecule

Illustration of the "love molecule," oxytocin, under the microscope. Chemical bonds are depicted with lines, and amino acids like Gly, Leu, and Cys are labeled. Heart shapes decorate the design while hinting at its dark side in fine print beneath the artwork.

With the recent popularity of neuroscience for public consumption the neurotransmitter Oxytocin has gained the nick-name “The Love Molecule”. Who wouldn’t want more love, right? This neurotransmitter is know to be the bonding chemical released during sex, a mother and child nursing, and during heightened moments of trust. There are oxytocin nasal sprays marketed to […]

Cynicism May be Leading You to Dementia

A black circle with the phrase "got cynicism?" written in lowercase white letters subtly hints at the underestimated impact of cynicism, possibly leading to dementia.

Do you suspect others have ulterior motives more often than not? Do you feel that others only assist you because they’ll want something in return? If you tend to look at the world through this lens you may be more inclined to develop dementia in your later years! Social Cognitive neuroscience is consistently finding links […]

Are You Training Your Brain to Beat Depression?

A digital artwork by Shanti Medina depicts a human figure with a complex, glowing brain design. The background features vibrant, abstract patterns and waves, suggesting a cosmic or psychedelic theme that promotes brain training and helps mitigate stress. Warm yellows, purples, and blues color the scene.

It actually seems like it should be a no-brainer (pardon the pun) at this point, but science is still experimenting with using positive imagery to beat depression.  Fortunately, they are still finding that it does.  The most interesting new finding in this study is that positive imagery coupled with the knowledge of WHERE in the […]
