POPSSense of identity What researchers are finding is that there is no single “identity spot” in the brain. Instead, the brain uses several different neural regions, working closely together, to sustain and update the identities of self and others. Learning what makes identity, researchers say, will help doctors understand how some people preserve their identities in the face of creeping dementia, and how others are sometimes able to reconstitute one.

POPS"Just stop being lazy": on being diagnosed with ADD/ADHD as an adult
I know there are teachers out there, and parents, who would tell a kid with cerebral palsy not to flail like that, who would tell a kid with Down Syndrome to “stop being so stupid.” I spent the first eighteen years of my life hearing people telling me, in effect, to just stop having ADD. I have spent the last three decades telling myself the same thing. I want to call the last 46 years, struggling with this problem, this sieve of distraction clamped around my mind that has only just now begun to dissolve — I want to call it a waste. That would be silly. I’ve accomplished a hell of a lot…accomplishments look all the rosier now that I know I scaled those hills with a hidden bag of cement in my pack. But I’m sorrowful that it took so long. And I’m angry — searingly angry — to think of that eight-year-old’s enthusiasm as it succumbed to frustration and repeated insult, and to think of the twelve-year-old he became, certain that he was the worst waste of skin in the world.

POPSHolonomic brain theory Interesting little bit on holonomic brain theory. I had no idea that Bohm got involved with brain science. The theory seems to go against some of the current paradigm of functional mapping of the brain but I would say that consciousness and, arm movements let's say, are two very different things.

POPSfMRIs In Kids Show Kindness Is Naturally In The Brain More: The study, which was supported by the National Science Foundation, provides new insights for children between childrens' perceptions of right and wrong and how their brains process information, Decety said. "Although our study did not tap into explicit moral judgment, perceiving an individual intentionally harming another person is likely to elicit the awareness of moral wrongdoing in the observer," he wrote. Subsequent interviews with the children showed they were aware of wrong-doing in the animations in which someone was hurt. "Thirteen of the children thought that the situations were unfair, and they asked about the reason that could explain this behavior," Decety said.
