on death

death seems like such an avoided subject because ofcourse, we dont know anything about it.
And thinking about it is absolutely terrifying (for me).
A world where everything you've known, everything you have built for yourself is gone.
When the oblivion is so intense that all you can imagine is darkness and lack of structure, order or anything to latch on to. A world where you don't even know if a world exists, a world where you might just be solitary and trapped. Or not.
I can't quite point out what terrifies me the most. Maybe it is the thought of losing things and people. Maybe it is the loss of consciousness and awareness of these things and people. Maybe it is the thought that there's so much to see. Or the thought that no matter how much I see, all memories will perhaps cease to exist?

Is there an emotional brain? Pt.1(intro)

Is there an emotional brain? As much as we like simplicity in models of science, and the locationist view makes things easier for us to understand, research points to the answer that emotions are not localized to one specific brain region or circuit.  The limbic system hypothesis was put forth by Paul MacLean in the 1950s (although some theories led up to this prior such as the Papez circuit). It divides the more deeply fundamental structures with those that are thought to have developed further on in evolution, in ‘higher’ mammals. The limbic system is one component of the triune brain theory that divides the brain up into the neocortex, mammalian brain and reptilian brain. The reptilian brain is proposed to be in charge of responses for survival such as breathing and heart rate. The reptilian brain is called so due to its structures being found also in reptiles. The limbic system is thought to have developed later in evolution and is commonly thought to be the mammalian brain.

history

Sometimes I think to myself whether all of what we are searching for, will be frowned upon in the future, will be laughed at for all of our efforts As this may be some kind of crazy movement created by delusional people. But this shouldn't stunt us from the curiosities and the explorations within the world we are in now. Some beliefs in the past may seem crazy to us now... but this is just humans trying to explain the world from what they see, from the information that we have. And that is the hesitance that comes from scientists making a statement definitive. Because all of this 'truth' may not be so when future explorers look back at our work, But knowing that the reason they stand in their 'developed' position is because we did exploring for   them, into uncertain waters that are clear as ever to them in their present moment.
