Episode #61. Why understanding your brain helps to understand others. Interview on the ViewPoints podcast with Henry Grossek Mar 30, 2021

Show notes

It is well known that poor executive function impacts every aspect of life across the life span, including work productivity and getting along with others. Executive function refers to the parts of the brain that are important for on-task attention, short-term memory and manipulation of information in mind (working memory), long-term memory, decision making, reasoning and planning. We now know that some of these functions can be improved with tailored neuroscience training exercises. We discuss these advances in neuroscience and its impact for educators in Schools and Society.

Episode #60 Libby Trickett and I discuss why sugar is more than it's number of calories and changes the brain and what to do about it-from a neuroscience perspective Mar 17, 2021

Show notes

How sugar addiction changes the brain and what to do about it-from a neuroscience perspective. Libby Trickett and I discuss this in the Pebble in the Pond podcast for the Australian & New Zealand Mental Health Association. Did you know that 75% of Australians are predicted to be overweight or obese by 2025?
Neuroimaging studies have shown that high-sugar containing foods and beverages activate reward areas within the brain – that ‘reward’ appears to be more robust than those of cocaine. Brain function is significantly impacted from sugar and food over consumption.
Listen in as I delve into how sugar activates our addiction centres and changes the physical structure of the brain. We discuss how she is using a neuroscience approach to combat addiction that focuses on retraining the brain. Libby Trickett https://lnkd.in/gD4_jgv

Show notes

Monique Murphy was like any teenager at University. Studying and being with friends. When one day she woke up from a coma in a hospital to see she no longer had a foot. She had fallen from a 5th story building and through a glass building. She recovered from incredible injuries, including amputating her right leg below the knee.
She tells a story of resilience and strength. Her mindset for her age is one we all wish we could achieve.
We wish Monique all the best as she pursues her dream of swimming at the Tokyo Olympics.
Her motto: "If your dreams don't scare you, they are not big enough"
