El estudio de la anatomía y el funcionamiento del sistema nervioso y el cerebro se conoce como neurociencia. Para mapear el cerebro de manera mecánica, los neurocientíficos recurren a la biología celular y molecular, la anatomía y la fisiología, el comportamiento y la cognición humanos, y otros campos. Cada neurona, o célula cerebral, en un ser humano adulto tiene aproximadamente 100 mil millones de conexiones con otras neuronas. Todo aprendizaje se basa en la capacidad del cerebro para construir nuevos circuitos y conexiones neuronales, o neuroplasticidad.

La dopamina ha sido el tema de muchos debates y discusiones entre neurocientíficos, médicos y analistas. Ha sido controvertido y fascinante al mismo tiempo. La dopamina parece darnos motivación para tener éxito, hacer ejercicio, buscar recompensas, sobrevivir y procrear.

Las personas con TDAH tienen desafíos especiales con respecto a la fluctuación de la dopamina y parecen sufrir con frecuencia una deficiencia o una sobredosis.

It also touches on intergenerational transmission of trauma, as well as people's responses to COVID-19, PTSD, and real and imagined threats.

Det handler i meget høj grad om, at vi skal give slip på gamle indlærte vaner og mindske vores egoisme og grådighed.
