Peterson Academy’s newest course Brain Plasticity, by Dr. David Eagleman, a celebrated neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author, known for his groundbreaking work on perception, brain plasticity, and the mysteries of consciousness. Available tonight at 8pm EST. Enroll now. In this course, Dr. David Eagleman explores the brain’s... remarkable ability to adapt and reshape itself throughout life. The course covers how plasticity enables the brain to fine-tune its neural circuits, from constructing dynamic maps of the body and senses to learning movement control. It also investigates how the brain processes non-traditional sensory inputs, such as "seeing" through the skin or "hearing" vibrations. Dr. Eagleman discusses the role of relevance in developing expertise, the evolution of plasticity across the lifespan, and strategies for maintaining brain health. The course concludes with insights into learning, memory, and the brain’s ability to continually adapt to a changing world.show more

Regardless of whether someone uses talk therapy or pharmacology, or a combination of the two to achieve relief from depression, ultimately, any relief they experience is the consequence of neural plasticity (also called neuroplasticity), which is essentially changes in the function of neural circuits in the brain and/or body. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was discovered for its role in promoting the growth, survival, and neuroplasticity of neurons, although it has other roles as well. As ketamine has emerged as a treatment for certain forms of depression, it has become clear that it works through several different mechanisms, including changing the amount of inhibition in the brain and rewiring neural circuits. Interestingly, recent findings suggest that ketamine metabolites may actually mimic some of the effects of BDNF by binding to its receptor (called trkB, which, for you aficionados, is a tyrosine kinase). To learn more about ketamine and its role in treating depression, as well as some of the risks associated with ketamine, especially recreational non-MD supervised use, see the new episode of the Huberman Lab podcast out now:

David Eagleman (David Eagleman): When I was younger, one of the great mentors I got to work with was Francis Crick, who had won the Nobel Prize for discovering the structure of DNA. As you may know, in the second half of Crick’s career, he turned from studying genetics to studying the brain—and specifically the question of how the physical stuff of the brain gives rise to consciousness. Now, Crick had a chalkboard that was full of ideas and equations, but the most striking thing to me was that right in the middle of the board, outlined in a big, thick rectangle, was a single word. And this word represented to him one of the central mysteries of biology. The word was meaning. In other words, he had a better understanding than most people on the planet of the vast and intricate biology that makes up the human brain, but he recognized that one of the key questions was: why does anything matter to your brain?

According to Bentov, consciousness evolves to the 'absolute' which is the source of all consciousness. Matter, composed of quanta of energy, is the vibrating, changing component of pure consciousness. The absolute is fixed, manifest and invisible. Bentov proposed that the brain acts as a transducer, converting the energy of consciousness into the electrical and chemical signals that are used to communicate information within the body. He also believed that the brain has the ability to tune into different frequencies of consciousness, allowing individuals to experience different states of awareness. Bentov's theory is based on the idea that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of the universe and is not limited to the brain or the body. He argued that consciousness is non-local, meaning it is not bound by space and time and can exist independently of the physical body. Bentov's theory has been influential in the field of consciousness studies, but it remains a subject of debate and is not widely accepted by mainstream science.
