"Conclusion Perhaps mistaken ideas about brain evolution persist because they fit with the human experience: We do sometimes feel overwhelmed with uncontrollable emotions and even use animalistic terms to describe these states. These ideas are also consistent with such traditional views of human...

Your Brain Is Not an Onion With a Tiny Reptile Inside Cesario, Johnson and Eisthen https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0963721420917687 full article free e pub Abstract A widespread misconception in much of psychology is that (a) as vertebrate animals evolved, “newer” brain...

I don't know that these researchers are ignoring the multiplicity of possible reasons for being bed bound - this study seems to be basic research looking at what happens to a healthy body, and within its own terms the study seems to have been successful. It answers a legitimate question, and as...

There should be no need to get into any 'silencing'. There is an issue related to BBC producer guidelines which both the BBC and the producer have a moral obligation to consider - simply asking for assurance that the relevant consideration takes place isn't cancelling anyone. I wouldn't equate...

Allowing that others have suggested it might not be such a good thought -- as far as timing I think the release of the book presents topicality that will be soon lost. I'm not sure I would cast the question as between heading off at the pass or forcing a different portrayal, but rather about...

Just posting here before I lose the thought forever - given the successful transfer of the Galbraith novels to TV production and broadcast by the BBC, there's a good possibility that this latest will make it's way to TV as well. BBC Producer Guidelines may be significant...

The main challenge to 'business as usual' is budgets, but I don't think anyone yet has a grasp of how the new Commissioning bodies are dealing with the challenges that face them. Given the current cost of fuel crisis in the UK, from which as yet the NHS is unprotected, and the somewhat confused...

To do that will need effective monitoring of the re-organsation process - personally I've got no handle on what the new set up https://www.england.nhs.uk/integratedcare/what-is-integrated-care/ means

Functional neuroimaging in psychiatry and the case for failing better, Matthew M. Nour, Yunzhe Liu, Raymond J. Dolan Summary Psychiatric disorders encompass complex aberrations of cognition and affect and are among the most debilitating and poorly understood of any medical condition...

Simple answer is a guideline is only a guideline and doesn't trump medical expertise. There are no 'banned' techniques as such only a limitation on how certain interventions are prescribed. Deconstructing the whole funding/contract/commissioning process for a given service requires something...

Difficult to make something contractual on "unpaid" peer reviewers. Of course journals could start paying for peer reviews but then that might upset the business structure of academic journal publishing which is based on extracting as much value for the publishers as Government funding and the...
