Isn’t this just rehashed left right brain stuff that has been around for years? Yes… and no, more than 50 years of split brain research has and continues to generate a lot of solid data. However when it comes to assessing and interpreting the data the blindingly obvious has been missed. The subject of the… Continue reading FAQs on split brain research

Why We Are Quite Literally The Symbiotic Love Children Of The Forest Summary Our unique physiology and extraordinary perceptual equipment (our brain) was not exclusively or even primarily the result of classic adaptive selection. Our DNA and the ‘primitive’ survival orientated asymmetric neural structures it always builds were immersed and hot housed in the most… Continue reading Developmental Biology and Plant Human symbiosis

Summary: The author, Tony Wright, proposed a theory that the human brain’s rapid expansion and development were a result of a symbiotic relationship with flowering plants. This relationship led to an intake of bio-chemically complex diet rich in transcription-altering, endocrine-disrupting, and neuro-active flavonoids, which drove the brain’s expansion. However, the author suggests that thousands of… Continue reading Consciousness and the Direction of Structure

A simian out of its tree is one thing, a symbiont without its drug dealing host is quite another! If the evolutionary biologists, primatologists and anthropologists are correct then for the greater part of our evolution (tens of millions of years) we lived in the tropical forests and ate a diet of unimaginable chemical complexity.… Continue reading Symbiotic perspectives on human diet

Introduction The dietary habits of primates, including humans, have been a subject of extensive research in the fields of anthropology, primatology, and nutrition. One area of particular interest is micronutrient intake, which includes vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients required in small quantities for normal physiological functioning. This article explores the micronutrient intake of wild… Continue reading Micronutrient Intake of Wild Primates: Are Humans Different?

If you are interesting in improving your mind and are considering using memory pills or supplements it is important to understand what ingredients they are using. While the industry is getting better at providing quality products there are still things out there that are of questionable benefit. Knowing what substances work will help you pick… Continue reading Comparison of memory boosters pills

Decision-making is a fundamental part of our daily lives. From choosing what to eat for breakfast to deciding which route to take to work, we are constantly making decisions. Theories of decision-making often assume that we are able to detect when our intended decision doesn’t match the actual outcome, and that we adjust our behavior… Continue reading Unveiling ‘Choice Blindness’: When Our Decisions and Outcomes Don’t Match

The Androgen Theory of Autism is a scientific proposition that suggests a connection between autism spectrum conditions (ASC) and elevated levels of fetal testosterone (FT). In simpler terms, this theory proposes that higher levels of testosterone in the womb might contribute to the development of autism. Testosterone is a hormone, often associated with males, but… Continue reading Unraveling the Androgen Theory of Autism: A Layman’s Guide
