not always too positive



The world is moving so fast, i cant keep up 
Im not sure what to do anymore 
Life gets so overwhelming sometimes 
I often feel like i am suffocating. I cannot breathe 
Always being watched 
Constantly something i have to do 
Trying to pull it together but often falls apart 


Where do we go from here 
What truth am i supposed to see 
So so so lost 
And afraid to admit it 


Shame on top of shame piling up on each other 
The guilt of a bad day 
With only myself to monitor 


Hoping for better days 
But hoping that i stop hoping for better days 

apparently i'm not supposed to feel this way
always the victim
but at the same time i should follow my instincts
the burden of choice
i guess this is the "strength" of a mind
the weak and confused are left behind
Certainty conquers the material world

Being intimidated by the calmness of others
Mind in frantic hurry 
A search for something that’s supposed to exist within me 
Back to the old days 
They are embedded within me 


Constantly following rules 
Being killed by them slowly 
Spiralling out of control 
No love left to give 
Very little in the first place 


These emotions they come and go 
They are waves, i am an ocean 
Trying to reach land 
Never truly fusing 


Not a step forward 
Just slowly tilting in a certain direction

Going around in circles realization after realization
but the foundation never lies

Back there again i guess

theories on brain localization

There are three major theories on how the brain is organized, in terms of its structure and function. Phrenology was proposed by Gall in the late 18th century who thought it was possible to determine character traits by examining the external bumps on the head. All behavior/mental function was assigned a location in the brain, and using more or less of these regions determined these bumps. The aggregate field view was raised by Flourens (1920s) using experimental evidence that showed that all areas are important for each mental function. So any part can perform all functions and there was no localization. Cellular connectionism (supported by Hughlings Jackson, Wernicke, Sherrington, Ramon y Cajal) states that individual neurons are signalling units that are arranged in groups, each having a particular function.

departure

Maybe its meant to be The passing of time Seems to let us free Makes us more carefree Farewell to a friend Hoping for the best That in some other world This journey won't end But long paved roads Take hours to walk down A dragging trip Complacence is found If we can refresh The origin of our motives Healthy company In each other, we'll notice.

Is there an emotional brain? (arguments against)

The limbic system has been commonly referred to in scientific literature as the emotional brain. But we know now with more information and advanced technologies that the limbic system is an ambiguous concept, it is what LeDoux says is just a “useful anatomical shorthand”. One evidence that challenges this theory is that areas that are considered unique to mammals (therefore termed the “mammalian brain”) is also present in ‘primitive’ creatures such as reptiles and amphibians. For example, a study conducted by Gilles Laurent and colleagues in 2018 using single cell RNA-sequencing technology showed that the neurons of the pallium of reptiles had similar genetic makeup to that of the hippocampus and amygdala of mouse and humans! These areas are what MacLean included in the limbic system theory, yet they are present in these ‘lower’ animals. Moreover, the same study showed that the anterior dorsal cortex of the pallium in reptiles was similar to the human neocortex, which is a layer ...
