Neurophysiological advantages of biorelevant methodology of teaching academic disciplines by Natalia A. Davidovskaya

“…The analysis of technology of teaching a biorelevant lesson showed when using a traditional methodology of teaching (the sinistrocerebral one), there is a contradiction between social and biological aspects of the cerebrum functional system. It impels teachers to search for new methods of teaching on the basis of human reserves that have not been involved before. …”

THz Waves Improve Spatial Working Memory by Increasing the Activity of Glutamatergic Neurons in Mice by Lequan Song, Zhiwei He, Ji Dong, Haoyu Wang, Jing Zhang, Binwei Yao, Xinping Xu, Hui Wang, Li Zhao, Ruiyun Peng

“…Terahertz (THz) waves, a novel type of radiation with quantum and electronic properties, have attracted increasing attention for their effects on the nervous system. Spatial working memory, a critical component of higher cognitive function, is coordinated by brain regions such as the infralimbic cortex (IL) region of the medial prefrontal cortex and the ventral cornu ammonis 1 (vCA1) of hippocampus. …”
