Traumatic Brain Injuries : The Smoldering Issue Inside Hockey, Part 2
2009-11-01 16:15:00 This morning I woke up thinking about a conversation I had with Don Granato last summer on the subject of chin straps and head injuries. He spoke to me about sitting at his brothers Tony's bed side nursing him through a serious head injury and his long recovery. Fortunately Tony Granato made a full recovery and is now the assistant head coach for the National Hockey Leagues Pittsburgh Penguins. Again, it illustrated to me that head injuries serious and cumulative, are an issue in this sport and need to be addressed. Everywhere people have heard of "Shaken Baby Syndrome" it is a deadly form of child abuse where an infant or small child's brain is bruised beyond repair by simply...
Traumatic Brain Injuries, the Smoldering Issue Within Hockey
2009-11-01 00:31:00 Yes. it has happened again, another family is sitting vigil in a hospital room with an injured athlete fighting for his life and future. Kirchner Ranger Ben Fenelli was injured in an on ice boarding incident which caused his helmet to fly off upon contact with the glass. Again it calls attention to a smoldering fire within hockey that of helmets, concussions, head injuries and safety equipment. The young men and women that play this sport of fire and ice pay a high price for its power and speed that we all know and love. Although for much of my day I look at the world through a Canon lens, I also have another another working life that of a...

Size Of Tiger Brain Challenges Scientific Assumptions About Social Animals
2009-09-14 00:44:00 At Oxford University, the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU) has been studying the brain size of four large cats -- leopards, jaguars, lions and tigers -- in relation to their average overall size. The largest brain by length measurement is the lion's , but the volume of the tiger's brain, contrary to the researchers' expectation, is larger than the lion's brain relative to body size. So what's the big deal?

Which Way Do You Spin? Left Brain or Right Brain?
2009-09-10 20:39:00 Which way is the dancer spinning? clockwise or counter-clockwise?Most people will see her turning counter-clockwise, which apparently means you?re more left brained (logical). I see her spinning that way, and it?s at first almost impossible to imagine her going clockwise. But it happens, usually by focusing or when something unexpectedly alters your perception.Here?s the typical run down on left versus right brain:LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONSuses logicdetail orientedfacts rulewords and languagepresent and pastmath and sciencecan comprehendknowingacknowledgesor-der/pattern perceptionknows object namereality basedforms strategiespracticalsafeRIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONSuses feeling?big picture? orientedimagination rulessymbols and imagespresent and futurephilosophy & religioncan ?get it?

Is your brain aging prematurely?
2009-08-31 23:10:00 It could be. A recent study has found that obese individuals have severe brain degeneration. Which means that one could lose cognitive function much earlier than they ever should. Loss of brain mass could also lead, as the article states, to Alzheimer's disease. We already know that obesity can lead to many more diseases. However, this article shows how obesity may effect your brain. This study was tremendously eye-opening to me. I certainly do not want my brain to age any more than the rest of me. And I hope that you don't either. This is just another reason why physical activity should be an important part of your life. Being physically active(and eating right) will help you maintain...

Hebrew U. researchers shed light on the brain mechanism responsible for pro
2009-08-12 18:23:00 Researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have succeeded for the first time in devising a model that describes and identifies a basic cellular mechanism that enables networks of neurons to efficiently decode speech in changing conditions. The research may lead to the upgrading of computer algorithms for faster and more precise speech recognition as well as to the development of innovative treatments for auditory problems among adults and young people. Our brain has the capability to process speech and other complex auditory stimuli and to make sense of them, even when the sound signals reach our ears in a slowed, accelerated or distorted manner.
Psychopaths have faulty brain connections, scientists find
2009-08-11 16:33:00 Psychopaths who kill and rape have faulty connections between the part of the brain dealing with emotions and that which handles impulses and decision-making, scientists have found. In a study of psychopaths who had committed murder, manslaughter, multiple rape, strangulation and false imprisonment, the British scientists found that ?roads? linking the two crucial brain areas had ?potholes,? while those of non-psychopaths were in good shape. The study opens up the possibility of developing treatments for dangerous psychopaths in the future, said Dr Michael Craig of the Institute of Psychiatry at King?s College London, and may have profound implications for doctors, researchers and the criminal justice system.
