Baseball and the Brain (fun web cast)

Discussion of Brain Science and Baseball is a Hit!




Boneheaded, clutch hitting, and other baseball language permeates this lively conversation connecting baseball, sports and living to brain function.  Former Giant baseball great Bobby Thomson joins neuroscientists and Dan Gordon, author of Your Brain on Cubs who moderates the discussion on mirror neurons, reward circuits, team loyalty, bonding, social defeat, and more.  DANA.org provides this web cast and a host of other web casts and articles helping all of us relate brain science to living and learning.

ADHD article is really an AD?


Medications are suggested – but why?



EverydayHealth.com posts excellent articles on pressing topics such as Lesley Alderman’s Rise of ADHD.  I rarely include their articles on my blog because solutions, written in their articles or shown on the side panels, involve medications.  This Body Brain BOOGIE blog posts many natural, non-drug ways to harness ADHD, using ADHD tendencies to maximize learning in a healthy way.
