Three lessons🧑‍🏫

#language #Neurology #NeuroTwitter #education

1⃣ Right inferior frontal and right mediodorsal
thalamus activity increase during executive processing.

1/🧵 Image
2⃣Executive processing is required for sentence comprehension.

3⃣ Right frontal activity increases during sentence comprehension.

2/🧵
Other right hemisphere functions:

1⃣ Perceiving sarcasm

2⃣ Integrating context (metaphor, humor)

3⃣ Expressing affective or emotional prosody (changes in pitch, rhythm, rate, and loudness that
convey emotions)

That is a great reason for a small tweetorial on how to approach phenomenology, the key element of this branch in Neurology. 🧠

2/🧵
But first, what is phenomenology?
That is a term that refers to the description of the movement. Instead of trying inmmediately to put a label on what you see, first I suggest start by watching and describing. 🤔

Today's reflection: brain health. 🧠🏥

"Concentrating on brain health provides a logical, unifying,motivating, and promising approach to preventing disease. After all, the brain is the agent of all our actions and the mediator of all our experiences.

1/🧵
It is the only organ that cannot be transplanted and that can be changed literally by talking to it. It can perform 1 billion billion calculations per second and unlike artificial intelligence, can imagine, create, and anticipate.
🤯
2/🧵
It is the most precious 3 pounds in the known
universe. If the brain were a computer with such capacities, and only available one per customer, we would take better care of it than we usually do with our own brains." - Vladimir Hachinski, MD, DSc.
