I know that you believe in yourself, you believe in self-development and helping your children or those you influence live with a healthy mind, body and heart. For that, I applaud you. Live an Inspired Life and Flourish! The goal of this show is to help you not only raise healthy & happy children, but to also work on your own personal development. We are all born with a Gift. We are all born with Purpose. Life‘s journey is to hone and develop that Gift, as purpose changes within. Share your knowledge of self-empowerment with those you influence, after all it‘s easier to raise a child with a positive mindset than it is to fix a broken one. How you speak and how you act around your children becomes their inner voice. Once you have self-awareness it‘s easier to thrive and grow, be your child‘s inspiration and advocate for their well being. https://www.Flourish.Mom. #personaldevelopment #mindset #motivation #inspiration #successtips #selfesteem #parenting #Believe #selfhelp #goals #habits #timemanagement #success #selfcare #selflove #bestseller #inspired #FlourishMom #time #howto #coach #personalgrowth #mentalhealth #health #fitness #wellness #meditation #spirituality #loa #thesecret #womenempowerment #parentingtips #highperformance #inspiredlife #inspireddiane #greatness #growth

The sensory systems of touch and pain provide us with information about our environment and our bodies that is often crucial for survival and well-being. Moreover, touch is a source of pleasure. In this module, we review how information about our environment and our bodies is coded in the periphery and interpreted by the brain as touch and pain sensations. We discuss how these experiences are often dramatically shaped by top-down factors like motivation, expectation, mood, fear, stress, and context. When well-functioning, these circuits promote survival and prepare us to make adaptive decisions. Pathological loss of touch can result in perceived disconnection from the body, and insensitivity to pain can be very dangerous, leading to maladaptive hazardous behavior. On the other hand, chronic pain conditions, in which these systems start signaling pain in response to innocuous touch or even in the absence of any observable sensory stimuli, have tremendous negative impact on the lives of the affected. Understanding how our sensory-processing mechanisms can be modulated psychologically and physiologically promises to help researchers and clinicians find new ways to alleviate the suffering of chronic-pain patients
Learning Objectives
-Describe the transduction of somatosensory signals: The properties of the receptor types as well as the difference in the properties of C-afferents and A-afferents and what functions these are thought to have.
-Describe the social touch hypothesis and the role of affective touch in development and bonding.
-Explain the motivation–decision model and descending modulation of pain, and give examples on how this circuitry can promote survival.
-Explain how expectations and context affect pain and touch experiences.
-Describe the concept of chronic pain and why treatment is so difficult.

Hearing allows us to perceive the world of acoustic vibrations all around us, and provides us with our most important channels of communication. This module reviews the basic mechanisms of hearing, beginning with the anatomy and physiology of the ear and a brief review of the auditory pathways up to the auditory cortex. An outline of the basic perceptual attributes of sound, including loudness, pitch, and timbre, is followed by a review of the principles of tonotopic organization, established in the cochlea. An overview of masking and frequency selectivity is followed by a review of the perception and neural mechanisms underlying spatial hearing. Finally, an overview is provided of auditory scene analysis, which tackles the important question of how the auditory system is able to make sense of the complex mixtures of sounds that are encountered in everyday acoustic environments.
Learning Objectives
-Describe the basic auditory attributes of sound.
-Describe the structure and general function of the auditory pathways from the outer ear to the auditory cortex.
-Discuss ways in which we are able to locate sounds in space.
-Describe various acoustic cues that contribute to our ability to perceptually segregate simultaneously arriving sounds.

The topics of sensation and perception are among the oldest and most important in all of psychology. People are equipped with senses such as sight, hearing and taste that help us to take in the world around us. Amazingly, our senses have the ability to convert real-world information into electrical information that can be processed by the brain. The way we interpret this information– our perceptions– is what leads to our experiences of the world. In this module, you will learn about the biological processes of sensation and how these can be combined to create perceptions.
Learning Objectives
-Differentiate the processes of sensation and perception.
-Explain the basic principles of sensation and perception.
-Describe the function of each of our senses.
-Outline the anatomy of the sense organs and their projections to the nervous system.
-Apply knowledge of sensation and perception to real world examples.
-Explain the consequences of multimodal perception.

As the world opens up again to being social, take time to enjoy life again as you venture back out. But, be aware of the lure of the group. Today's episode is a positive vibe as we once again are out of isolation.
"Madness is something rare in individuals-but in groups, parties, peoples, and ages it is the rule." Friedrich Nietzsche
Groups are contagious and you can really get caught up in the excitement of it all! Try something new, put on your boots and go dancing...or whatever social experience you have been missing.
Live an Inspired Life, Diane

The mammalian nervous system is a complex biological organ, which enables many animals including humans to function in a coordinated fashion. The original design of this system is preserved across many animals through evolution; thus, adaptive physiological and behavioral functions are similar across many animal species. Comparative study of physiological functioning in the nervous systems of different animals lend insights to their behavior and their mental processing and make it easier for us to understand the human brain and behavior. In addition, studying the development of the nervous system in a growing human provides a wealth of information about the change in its form and behaviors that result from this change.
The nervous system is divided into central and peripheral nervous systems, and the two heavily interact with one another. The peripheral nervous system controls volitional (somatic nervous system) and nonvolitional (autonomic nervous system) behaviors using cranial and spinal nerves. The central nervous system is divided into forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain, and each division performs a variety of tasks; for example, the cerebral cortex in the forebrain houses sensory, motor, and associative areas that gather sensory information, process information for perception and memory, and produce responses based on incoming and inherent information. To study the nervous system, a number of methods have evolved over time; these methods include examining brain lesions, microscopy, electrophysiology, electroencephalography, and many scanning technologies.
Learning Objectives
-Describe and understand the development of the nervous system.
-Learn and understand the two important parts of the nervous system.
-Explain the two systems in the peripheral nervous system and what you know about the different regions and areas of the central nervous system.
-Learn and describe different techniques of studying the nervous system. --Understand which of these techniques are important for cognitive neuroscientists.
-Describe the reasons for studying different nervous systems in animals other than human beings. Explain what lessons we learn from the evolutionary history of this organ.

As a generally noninvasive subset of neuroscience methods, psychophysiological methods are used across a variety of disciplines in order to answer diverse questions about psychology, both mental events and behavior. Many different techniques are classified as psychophysiological. Each technique has its strengths and weaknesses, and knowing them allows researchers to decide what each offers for a particular question. Additionally, this knowledge allows research consumers to evaluate the meaning of the results in a particular experiment.
Learning Objectives
- Learn what qualifies as psychophysiology within the broader field of neuroscience.
- Review and compare several examples of psychophysiological methods.
- Understand advantages and disadvantages of different psychophysiological methods.
