Mental Control Of The Body

Originally published by Viking Penguin, 2014.

Excerpt from Mental Control of the Body or Health Through Self-Conquest The indulgence of the reader is asked for a brief statement of the facts leading to the writing and publication of this book. Only the necessity of giving proof of my knowledge from experience of the practical value of the method of cure set forth in this book forces me to give this personal testimony. After ten years of invalidism, during which I had the more or less constant attendance of physicians, I found this way to health. Many years before, in desperation from long continued suffering, I had been persuaded to try another form of mind cure, but did not find it suited to my needs, so now felt no desire to seek help from that quarter. However, I had always believed that there must be some way in which to avail ourselves of God's promises for the body, if we only knew how.

The brain ... There is no other part of the human anatomy that is so intriguing. How does it develop and function and why does it sometimes, tragically, degenerate? The answers are complex. In Discovering the Brain, science writer Sandra Ackerman cuts through the complexity to bring this vital topic to the public. The 1990s were declared the "Decade of the Brain" by former President Bush, and the neuroscience community responded with a host of new investigations and conferences. Discovering the Brain is based on the Institute of Medicine conference, Decade of the Brain: Frontiers in Neuroscience and Brain Research. Discovering the Brain is a "field guide" to the brainâ€"an easy-to-read discussion of the brain's physical structure and where functions such as language and music appreciation lie. Ackerman examines: How electrical and chemical signals are conveyed in the brain. The mechanisms by which we see, hear, think, and pay attentionâ€"and how a "gut feeling" actually originates in the brain. Learning and memory retention, including parallels to computer memory and what they might tell us about our own mental capacity. Development of the brain throughout the life span, with a look at the aging brain. Ackerman provides an enlightening chapter on the connection between the brain's physical condition and various mental disorders and notes what progress can realistically be made toward the prevention and treatment of stroke and other ailments. Finally, she explores the potential for major advances during the "Decade of the Brain," with a look at medical imaging techniquesâ€"what various technologies can and cannot tell usâ€"and how the public and private sectors can contribute to continued advances in neuroscience. This highly readable volume will provide the public and policymakersâ€"and many scientists as wellâ€"with a helpful guide to understanding the many discoveries that are sure to be announced throughout the "Decade of the Brain."
