Hot brains: manipulating body heat to save the brain.
CONSIDER A DISEASE with high mortality, severe morbidity, unknown pathogenesis, imprecise diagnostic features, and no known cure—in short, a condition with no hope. One can only offer soothing words and symptomatic remedy. Then, there is hope. Anecdotal observations lead to a new hypothesis. A pilot trial indicates that 6 of 9 treated patients “unexpectedly recover.” Larger studies follow and s...

The desire to manipulate brain function is not new. In manipulating brain function the goal is to manipulate behaviour and we have been manipulating behaviour for the whole of our evolution as social animals. Primates, such as ourselves, living in social groups carry out mind manipulation with astonishing speed and accuracy throughout the day. We are all a little friendlier, some unknowingly, o...
متن کاملSave the Meniscus, A Good Strategy to Preserve the Knee
With increasing life expectancy, the demand for preservation of native articular cartilage is increasing to delay joint arthroplasties. In the knee, there are many different strategies to preserve the articular cartilage including but not limited to corrective osteotomies, chondral injury restoration, intraarticular injection of cells or growth factors(PRP). However, One of the most important s...
متن کاملthe effect of body weight on heat strain indices in hot and dry climatic conditions
conclusions the results showed that, compared to participants with normal weights, physiological and thermal perceptual responses were higher in overweight participants. therefore, overweight individuals should avoid hot/dry weather conditions to decrease the amount of heat strain. results in both groups, oral temperature, heart rate, and thermal perceptual responses increased during heat expos...
متن کاملDistributing Cognition: from Local Brains to the Global Brain
We show how the externalization of our local brain functions is leading to a planetary level intelligence, or global brain. We argue that this mechanism of externalizing cognitive functions is a fundamental driver towards an ever smarter human-machine symbiosis. We discuss implications and applications of externalizing various cognitive functions such as memory, computation, hearing, vision, br...
