Research by Schaefer and associates suggests that mental illnesses are so common that almost everyone will develop at least one diagnosable mental disorder at some point in their life.
However, most of these people will never receive treatment and will recover with support from their social network. The temporary nature of these conditions is key. People are designed to be resilient and bounce back.

A recent study of individuals who found their lives meaningful found that their brains could interpret intense negative experiences positively and adapt quickly to stress.

Bias influences what you purchase. If you associate an item with status, intelligence, or trendiness, and those traits matter to you, you're motivated to buy it.

Poverty has a greater impact on boys than on girls because girls' language centers develop faster and are less affected by the environment. Girls also have larger hippocampi, which improve memory.
They also have a robust connection between the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex. The stronger the connection between these two areas of the brain, the faster long-term memories form. #ThePovertyProblem @CorwinPress

A recent study showed that because the brain reads emotions in faces, gestures, posture, and tone of voice, many of these areas activate even when emotion is expressed in only one way. For example, a facial expression can activate centers that normally respond to tone of voice.

A simple strategy can help struggling readers. Studies show that many poor readers struggle to connect visual and audiovisual information, which slows their ability to move from visual to sound.
Many of these students respond better when taught from sound to visual, because they already know the sounds and can connect what they know to new learning, rather than learning new material and then connecting it to what they know. #reading #neuroscience #ISS #Accutrain
A longitudinal analysis shows that higher childhood socioeconomic status is associated w altered microstructural properties of the fusiform gyrus, which plays a key role in reading and letter recognition. This suggests that poverty is linked to poorer letter & word recognition.
Movement improves problem-solving by increasing cerebral blood flow, triggering Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, & activating the prefrontal cortex, thereby enhancing executive function, planning, working memory, & complex problem-solving. Increase movement in the classroom.
Every competency a student gains increases their resilience and improves their life outcomes. #teacher #education #school #resiliency #neuroscience
The human brain is about 75% water; as a result, staying hydrated is critical. Even a 1% to 2% loss of body water can impair concentration, short-term memory, attention span, & critical thinking. Schools need to establish ways to promote hydration to maximize student performance.
Microsaccades, involuntary eye movements, scan our environment, spotting things that support our beliefs or desires. As a result, our beliefs grow stronger, and we consistently have opportunities to avoid falling prey to our desires. #neuroscience #belief #confirmationbias #diet
