We can work out a prototype of biolar disorder, just as what I have done at www.bipolarillness.dk, but we have to take account that there are a comprehensive variabillity from patient to patient, suffering from bipolar illness. So our understanding…
Hi Angela. You have your experience yourself about brain and mind in what we can call a special condition. For many years ago I had manias and I also experineced that the brain and mind were not working together. But to day it all work fine. I think…
I'm getting used to being perplexing to doctors. I've even tried figuring it out myself. We always think of the brain and mind working together, yet, mine hasn't. I suffered a serious brain injury, yet my mind has been fine. It actually is now even…

It is of course a good idea if bipolar disorder in its medical treatment f ex is supported by cognitive therapy and social treatment where the patitens can become in a good psycical and physical condition

"A person's soul is:
-the spiritual part of that person that is belived to continue existing after the body is dead
-the non physical part of that person (...)
Your psyche is your mind and your deepest feeelings and attitudes, which form part of your nature. (Collins).
L'opera di Atristotele "De anima" viene tradotta in inglese con "On the soul" mentre dovrebbe essere tradotta "On the psyche".
Spero di essere stato più chiaro.
Penso che "a unified understanding of brain function" debba essere preceduta da tre operazioni preliminari:
La prima è capire cosa intenda l'uomo occidentale , di qualunque origine culturale, filosofica o teologica egli sia, quando pronuncia la parola "psyche". Infatti la distinzione:
"Psyche: mythology
Psyche: psychology"
ha scarso significato. A mio avviso un primo passo è quello di riferirsi alla prima definizione del termine che è quella di Aristotele (vedi: De Anima).
Secondo problema fondamentale è quello di capire quale sia il rapporto funzionale ma anche ontologico, tra il cervello ed il cuore.
Terzo: capire con l'aiuto delle tecniche di visualizzazione cerebrale funzionale cosa accada nel cervello che pensa gli "universali". e quale correlazione ci sia, durante questa operazione, con l'attività cardiaca.
