The tourist experience: an experience of the frameworks of the tourist experience? by Hécate Vergopoulos

“…, it particularly tries to highlight what these studies, stemming from different disciplines and traditions of research (management sciences, psychology, geography, anthropology, education sciences, etc.) have in common. It also intends to show that through the plurality of approaches emerge zones of friction and tension in the definition of this central notion of tourism.It thus shows that there are today three main approaches to this notion: in a first sense, the tourist experience can be understood as “everything that happens in a tourist situation”. …”

Reducing maladaptive behavior in neuropsychiatric disorders using network modification by Nicholas M. Timme

“…Despite this great variance in causes and resulting behavior, we believe the maladaptive behaviors that characterize neuropsychiatric disorders are most proximally determined by networks of neurons and that this forms a common conceptual link between these disorders. Operating from this premise, it follows that treating neuropsychiatric disorders to reduce maladaptive behavior can be accomplished by modifying the patient’s network of neurons. …”
