Today we will be mentioning the mind/body connection within the brain. This is the sort of things Amy Farrah Fowler from The Big Bang Theory learns about! ;) Although it sounds complicated and boring, I hope to present it in a way that isn't. Surprisingly, it is very interesting stuff!
Articles were linked through the website by Alvaro Fernandez. I would like to introduce the works of the late Dr. Wilder Penfield. To all those who are unfamiliar with his genesis of the "Cortical Homunculus", I would like to share the following article:
How Your Brain Sees your Body: Meet the Corticol Homunculus (2010) by Ether Inglis-Arkell @ 109 Neurology
Our next overload of articles is about Neuroplasticity, the ability of the mind to change its physiology and function depending on the input it is given, and what it trains itself to do. Props goes to the magnificent people at Sharp Brains, whom have worked very hard to put this information together.
