What actually is love from a scientific point of view? In the field of neurochemistry and neuropsychiatry love is explained by 8 different chemicals your body produces.
You were born with billions of neurons but very few connections between them. You built connections whenever your happy chemicals or unhappy chemicals were flowing. Your brain relies on the pathways it has, but we all end up with some pathways we're better off without. You can build new pathways in your brain to turn on your happy chemicals in new ways. It's not easy, but when you know how your brain works you can do it.
We all want more trust at work and at home because it smoothes the rough edges of life. You can build trust when you know how animals build it and why your limbic brain makes careful decisions about when it turns on the great oxytocin feeling of trust.
Happy at Home: Keep up your dopamine and oxytocin when you're stuck at homeLoretta Breuning, PhD
You can stimulate your happy chemicals and avoid threat chemicals, even when you're stuck at home. It's not each because your old ways of triggering them don't work. But you can find new ways to trigger them when you know how they work in animals. You can enjoy dopamine, serotonin and oxytocin even when you're stuck at home.
Your brain evolved to meet your needs, so your neurochemicals surge in response to anything relevant to your needs. Natural selection built a brain that responds to opportunities and threats with a sense of urgency. No wonder politics gets us going! It's easy to see how this works in others, especially your social rivals. It helps to see how this works in yourself. Then you can make careful decisions about where you invest your limited brain power.
Our happy brain chemicals (dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, endorphin) are inherited from earlier mammals. They did not evolve to make you happy all the time. They are meant to motivate you to go toward things that promote your genes, and warn you to avoid things that threaten your genes. No conscious interest in your genes is involved - these chemicals create such strong impulses that we search for information to make sense of them. That's the job of our big cortex. It's not easy being a mammal, but your ups and downs are easier to manage when you know the job they do in the state of nature.
It would be nice if our happy chemicals just flowed all the time, but that's not how they're designed to work. When you know the job they do in animals, you know why they turn on in humans, and why they're not on all the time. Here's how to rewire yourself to stimulate happy chemicals and avoid stress chemicals. And more important, how to accept the brain you've got. It's not easy being a mammal!
When you feel better you do better, but our happy chemicals are not designed to flow all the time for no reason. What's a big-brained mammal to do? These happy chemical strategies are simple enough to teach the people around you. You can have company on the path to dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin!

Human brain understanding the complex structureAnupama Saha
The human brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, along with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system. The brain consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem as well as the cerebellum. It controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sense organs and making decisions as to the instructions sent to the rest of the body. The brain is contained in, and guarded by, the skull bones of the head.
The cerebrum is the largest of the human brain. It is divided into two cerebral hemispheres. The cerebral cortex is an outer layer of grey matter, covering the core of the white matter. Each hemisphere is conventionally divided into four lobes – the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes. Within each lobe, cortical areas are associated with specific functions, such as the sensory, motor and association regions. Although the left and right hemispheres are broadly similar in shape and performance, some functions are related to one side, like language within the left and visual-spatial ability on the right. The hemispheres are connected by the corpus callosum.
The brainstem consists of the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla oblongata. The cerebellum is connected to the brainstem by pairs of tracts. Underneath the cerebral cortex are several important structures, including the thalamus, the epithalamus, the pineal gland, the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the subthalamus; the limbic structures, including the amygdala as well as the hippocampus; the claustrum, various nuclei of the basal ganglia; the basal forebrain structures, and the three circumventricular organs. The cells of the brain include neurons and supportive glial cells. There are more than 86 billion neurons within the brain. Brain activity is possible by the interconnections of neurons and their release of neurotransmitters in response to nerve impulses. Neurons connect to form neural pathways, neural circuits, and elaborate network systems. The whole circuitry is driven by the method of neurotransmission.
The study of the anatomy of the brain is neuroanatomy, while the study of its function is neuroscience. Numerous techniques are used to study the brain. Medical imaging technologies like functional neuroimaging, and electroencephalography (EEG) recordings are important in studying the brain. The medical history of people with a brain injury has provided insight into the function of each part of the brain.
The nervous system is the body's main communication system; it gathers, synthesizes, and uses data from the environment. The most basic unit of the nervous system is the neuron, which serves as both a sensor and communicator of internal and external stimuli.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

7. Brain Structure
• The “Old Brain” is the part of the brain that controls eating,
breathing, and sleeping. It is common to all vertebrates.
• The evolution of the “old brain” dates back 500 million years.
• “The Midbrain” controls vision, hearing, motor control,
alertness, and temperature regulation.
8. Brain Structure
• The “New Brain” is the cerebral cortex: the outer layer of
nerve tissue in our brains. It controls memory, attention,
perceptual awareness, thought, language, and consciousness.The
cerebral cortex is the part of the brain that allows us to reason.
9. Brain Structure
Different lobes of the cerebral cortex are involved in different
bodily functions.A PET (positron emission tomography) scan
shows us which parts of the brain are active during different
daily activities.
10. Brain Structure
Frontal Lobe:
• Controls the body’s dopamine system
• The function of the frontal lobe involves the ability to
recognize future consequences, the choice between good
and bad actions, the differentiation between bad/good/
better/best, the suppression of socially unacceptable
behavior, and the ability to determine similarities and
differences. It also helps us retain long term memories.

11. Brain Structure
Parietal Lobe:
• Processes information derived from our senses. It
allows us to recognize objects by touch alone, manipulate
objects with our hands, and understand how objects are
positioned in space around us (spatial understanding). It
also allows us to understand and manipulate numbers.

14. Behavioral Genetics
The study of the effects of heredity on behavior.
To what extent are our abilities, personality traits, sexual
orientations, sociability, and psychological disorders
determined by genes inherited from our parents?
15. Behavioral Genetics
Nature? (Genetics) or Nurture? (Environment)
Study: Men who carry one or two extra
copies of a gene called allele 334 often
behave differently in relationships than men
who lack this gene variant. Men with an
extra copy of the gene felt a weaker, less
permanent attachment to their partners,
and were more likely to be unfaithful. Men
who had two copies of allele 334 were also
twice as likely to have had a marital or
relationship crisis in the past year than
those who lacked the gene variant.
(Karolinska Medical Institute, Stockholm).
16. Behavioral Genetics
Nature? (Genetics) or Nurture? (Environment)
Study: Novelty-seeking
behavior (impulsive
decision-making, the
need to explore, lack
of organization) is
related to the
presence of a certain
gene in the body, and
is highly inheritable.
(Golimbet et al., 2007).
17. Behavioral Genetics
Nature? (Genetics) or Nurture? (Environment)
Study: 1,252,387 genetic markers
were tested for association with
personality traits.The results
indicated that only 1% of genetic
variants significantly contribute to
personality variation.This
indicates that individual common
genetic variants do not
significantly contribute to
personality trait variation.
(Verweij et al., 2010)
