A TALE OF

TWO NEURONS

HOW TO OPTIMIZE YOUR BRAIN FOR MAXIMUM GROWTH

One childhood experiencethat results in

Saying “NO” To the

Big Brain Question

The Big Brain Question

“NO!” There’s ONE question that all brains want answered, “Yes.” Parent’s brains, children’s brains, all brains. Before I tell you what that question is, let me first tell you what goes on in a human brain when the answer is “No.” “No” makes neurons in the brain begin to slow down their natural impulse to grow and connect. How this appears under a brain scanner is how the deprived neurons look on Page One: fewerneuron roots making fewer connections. Fewer roots and fewer connections result in reduced abilities in different areas, like reading, math, or playing well with others.

Fewer neural connections can have a lifelong adverse impact on humans. Here’s what “recovering neurologist,” Bob Scaer has to say about it:

“The cumulative experiences of ‘life’s little traumas’ (that is, answering the Big Brain Question “No”) shape virtually every single aspect of existence. This accumulation of negative life experiences molds one’s per-sonality, choices of mate, profession, pet peeves, clothes, appetite, social behaviors, posture, and most specifically, our state of physical and mental health.”

Adverse Impact

Page 5: A Tale of Two Neurons

All that might not be so bad. However, a Canad-ian doctor, Gabor Maté, sees the damage caused by the answer “No” to the Big Brain Question as even more serious. Here’s what he has to say:

“The biology of potential illness arises early in life. The brain’s stress response mechanisms are programmed by experiences beginning (before) infancy, and so are the implicit, unconscious memories that govern our attitudes and behaviors toward ourselves, others and the world. Cancer, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and other conditions…are not abrupt new developments in adult life, but culminations of lifelong processes. The human interactions and biological imprinting that shaped these processes took place in periods of our life for which we may have no conscious recall.”

But what exactly IS this Big Brain Question, and what are some of the ways we deliberately or unwit-tingly answer it “No?” And what truly works to enrich neurons?

repeatedly saying “Yes” to the

Big Brain Question couldtransform all those

scenarios into neuron- enriching activities …
