 Childhood trauma changes the way our brain is wired. This may mean that moral responses, such as violence or kindness to others, are partly determined by brain wiring created by childhood events. Is this part of our inclination to do wrong?
A meta-study of whole brain fMRI found patterns of change in three areas: the default mode network (DMN) which is associated with self-referential thoughts, memory, and emotion processing; the central executive network (CEN) which is crucial for cognitive control, problem-solving, and regulating attention; and the posterior insula and ventral anterior insula (PI & vAI), which are involved in processing bodily sensations and emotional experiences. Those who had trauma before age 16 exhibited increased activation in the DMN and PI & vAI during tasks involving emotionally charged words and facial expressions, whereas others showed activation of the CEN instead. So emotional situations were likely to prompt internal memories and reflection rather than appropriate responses to others.

 Three quarter's of the planet's water is underground, deeper than any well - about 400 miles down. It is stored within 'ringwoodite' rock which is hydrotropic and traps water in a sponge-like crystaline mesh. It was discovered and measured by seismometers which detect earthquake shockwaves travelling through the earth and bouncing off different types of rocks in characteristic ways.
It is thought this water may travel from the surface through subduction vents, where continents are gradually meshing into one another in subduction zones at the bottom of most oceans. Are these the ”springs of the great deep” in Gen.7.11? Or is this where all the water went after the earth was totally covered by water 4 billion years ago shortly after life started? * Read about underground water at https://www.thebrighterside.news/.../massive-underground... * Planet-wide oceans at https://www.scienceabc.com/.../was-the-earth-ever-totally... * Academic paper at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24926016/ See insights and ads Boost post Like Comment Share |
