The percentage of brain function

By what percentage does the brain work?

We have all heard about the various figures such as 5 or 10%, which the ancient Greeks complained that they could not use their brains "to the full." Is this true or not, let's see.

Power of the brain

Every second, our brain produces a variety of operations, this number is very difficult to calculate, if we take into account such simple things as exactly sit, keep your head, listen, see, feel, and many, many others. You just can not imagine how many simultaneous processes involved. It provides for the exchange of information between the 100 billion neurons, each of which has about 10,000 synaptic connections with other neurons and 1 second is capable of transmitting about 10 pulses per this link. Try to count the humanists contend)

However, the vast majority of these operations, we do not notice because of getting used to, but it does not mean that they do not work! To fully enjoy some of them, count how many times you do breaths / breaths, his eyes blink in a minute. Even banal movement scratched his head, giving the team a hand, not a leg, sets the optimal speed hands, so you will not have received the award for the most ridiculous death, and so on. Why can not we multiply huge numbers at each other? For us it is not so important to learn how to scratch his head, very simplistic.

There is also a hypothesis that the brain can not simultaneously perform a variety of activities, and consistently, but with incredible speed.

The brain is always working at full

MRI is Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It is usually applied in order to identify diseases, tumors, in general - for the treatment and prevention of brain. MTP and also shows the most active areas of the brain at any given moment.

MRI shows that the brain is always running and all. It differs only certain areas of activity. When you sleep, the brain operates in a simplified mode, as compared to wakefulness. All functions are reduced to a minimum, in fact, we need only to drive to breathe and blood, even the metabolism, digestion, everything slows down. During sleep, growth hormone is produced in 5 times more, and who is all this headed? When you look at the big picture and want to remember, the brain involved more than, for example, in the game of chess. It's amazing is not it? It would seem that the opposite is true. Chess players understand that sometimes you need a very long time to think about the course and look at 10 steps ahead, so why the brain is involved is less than the banal memorizing pictures?

Yes, simply because in the game of chess, there are frames, limited the rules of the game, a limited field, and you have to play by the rules. You are focused on logic and forecasting + you keep in mind the rules.

Now let's see how you remember the picture. The spatial orientation of the individual elements, the colors, the shape of these elements, the nature of this image, the general perception (like it or not) - it's just the time of viewing. Remember, too, it can be a variety of ways, including logic, when you argue, "So, well, this is a picture of nature, on top of the sky, green trees, stones ...". Then, when you will remember it, will have the same sequence: "I think there were some trees and beautiful clouds", and then reconnect the brain and imagination on the basis of logic, "Well, if this is a picture of nature, perhaps there was also a green grass, as was clearly the summer. "

Thus, considering the picture, you turn to the work of more neurons in your brain than in chess. Why do you play chess harder? Because the image you see and the brain is constantly trained on them from birth, as with chess meet only in part, neuronal connections are weak. It turns into a chess work hard, only one part of the brain that is less physically those areas that work at memorizing pictures. Try to go backwards, and the brain would be stunned from this behavior and you will get tired a lot quicker. The brain will tell you through stressful neurotransmitters, supposedly "fasten, you look like a asshole, you fall, and so on."

Another proof that will appeal to fans of the theory of evolution! Why do we have such a large brain, if it works only on 2, 6, 10, 15 percent (unnecessary delete). And indeed, I ask what for? If this were indeed the case, it would diminish over time. But what happens? It increased, according to the conclusion of Japanese biologists K. Takahasi and I. Sudzuki: "over the past 60-70 years, the successful economic development of the average weight of the brain of the Japanese increased by 30 grams in men and 15 grams in women.

So, summing up the brief: the brain works completely full, but at different times and in solving different problems has a different activity. Imagine the Internet in the region at 20: 00-22: 00 is the peak number of visits to its people. This does not mean that he does not work at night or in the morning

The brain has great potential!

Here's what you wanted to hear) From the preceding paragraph it appears that the brain is almost always to the fullest, in ordinary life, we just do not notice it. And with regard to, how much we use of the brain, is clever to say that "We do not use 10% of the brain, and is closer to 100%, but we are able to increase the efficiency of of the brain is ten times!". Why?

Neural connections! For this is the future. Neural connections - this is your mind, memory, attention, imagination, logic, even the coordination of movements! From birth, we have created a lot of connections between neurons, is a kind of sequence that teaches us. As children, we will fill his bumps, but are trained life. And adults, we constantly use these bonds, "not to run across the road, take care of health and so on," we have to build a logical chain, why we think this is the neural connections.

Why do we need the integral? (Question for the humanities) What are the consequences of sudden inflation? (Question to the techies). We are all faced with these words, but does not remember them, we just know about them. We do not have appropriate neural connections, or they are very weak. You to walk easily? Strong communication - trained from birth. Imagine what would have happened to you, train you knowledge of mathematics or economics from birth? Geniuses, but who want to work).

What if 10 times to accelerate the formation of neuronal connections? Yes, this requires additional energy is energy. And what if slow "forgetting" 10 times, ie weakening of neural connections? More energy. But the training will take place 10 times faster 1 class in the school for 10. WARNING! Already there are drugs that are capable of it, to tell the scientific - drugs that increase of NGF, for example - Cerebrolysin, there is an effect in animals from substances Idebenone, Noopept, Semax, Sunifiram, Idra-21 - but about the consequences as yet are unknown.

A few words about this concept as the "deja vu". This is when you experience the feeling that has been in the "it" place, with these people, etc, in short, almost an exact repeat of past events. This is the most "awakening dormant" neural connections + a bit of imagination. You could have a dream that you have long forgotten, but that happens the situation is very similar. When neurons are found matching on the visual, auditory, sensory characteristics of other neurons, but these ties are weak and you can just feel the expense of neurotransmitters that "somewhere it was already."

Bottom line:

• 1.The brain works completely full (if you are healthy), but there is a huge scope for action in terms of increasing its productivity.
• 2.The brain has enormous potential ahead of an exciting future.
• 3.The less we use something - the faster we have forgotten how to do it.
• 4.When living conditions, the brain uses more neurons than in the game, the rules are strictly limited, for example, chess.

Increase efficiency of brain, study. Remember that knowledge to recover much easier - than to create new ones, so do not be afraid to loosen the old neural connections.

Brain and Body

Why it is important to develop not only the brain, but also the body? Is there a relationship between gray matter and your outer shell? What sports do you fit, if your goal is to brain development? As always we have a lot of questions and interesting topic. Well, let's start!

Why the brain and the body are connected?

Simply, the brain is physically located in the body. And if the body is decrepit or diseased, how, in this case, can be a healthy brain, as an integral part of the body? The answer suggests itself. But here it is important not to go to extremes.

The absence of load on the body

When there is no physical load on the body - the body takes a depressing kind, provided that there is plenty of food - such a person, as a rule, it is rapidly gaining weight, of course, is fat. If the lack of power - it is, the very thin physique.

From scientific point of view is on the basis of the determined weight or BMI body mass index.

What does a lack of exercise? This way you will "sit / lie" for more than 5 hours a day, except for sleep time, and for 1 week you walk less than 10 hours. The term "walk" is generally meant and "stand" because if you have at least half an hour before work / school "on his feet" + way back, then you have, in terms of medicine, sufficient exercise.

What's wrong with lack of exercise for the brain?

In the first place - it is a violation in the circulatory system. Our blood washes the entire body, including the brain. When the body is in good shape when you are walking at least, actively move the legs - blood more actively circulates through the body, and "cleans" the brain from any bad things. With poor blood circulation are real diseases such as ischemic heart disease - coronary heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes.

The second is a large exposure to stress. This manifests itself in banal situations, climb the stairs to 2-3 floors - get shortness of breath and heart palpitations. Try to awake your brain in such a situation, when you yourself feel good just sitting on a chair.

Excessive physical exercise

As you know, professional athletes also popping various ailments and also associated with the heart. The main reason is overtraining. What is it? It is weakness, lethargy, sleepy feeling. So what are some thought, "it is well washed by the blood of the brain."

When excessive physical activity most seriously depleted all the resources of the body, because all the energy is directed to the sport. And here the problem is that "this should be plenty of carbohydrates," and your body thinks that you are somewhere in the war. He is fighting for survival, and directs all the forces and means at the sport or how he thinks, "the fact to survive the war." Thus, exhausted and CNS. Selected glucose in the brain, and send it all to support muscles, the instincts, to strengthen the neuromuscular connection. Nothing is to say about the development of the brain, however.

The best exercise for brain development

Most importantly is the optimum blood supply to the brain without the fatigue of the whole body. In addition, the brain better long-term light load than the sharp physical impulse. And the third - the supply of oxygen! In what it is expressed?

Light, constant and regular load with a duration of 60-90 minutes. Ideally - in the open air. It may be banal jog in the park. So we provide the body and the brain in particular, the flow of oxygen and normal blood circulation.

Light, constant and regular load with duration of 60-90 minutes. Ideally - in the open air. It may be banal jog in the park. So we provide the body and the brain in particular, the flow of oxygen and blood circulation normal.

Scientifically speaking, for the normal functioning of the brain you need the load of aerobic nature, which literally means the load "with oxygen." Cycling, jogging, even just walking at a fast pace - a perfect example of aerobic exercise.

Sports suitable for Brain Development purpose

Immediately worth mention that the load is expected to moderate to mild. Sport of high achievements does not suit us. Here is a sample list: swimming, running, yoga, climbing, CrossFit, bodybuilding (but only with the training of the heart), street workout, bike rides, skiing, biathlon, canoeing. More focus on 2 that require clarification.

CrossFit. A sport where performed, in general, simple exercises, but with minimal rest. Presumably, taken from circuit training in boxing. After 2-3 minutes of these exercises, you will realize that this is not so and easy as it seems. As a result, good blood flow throughout the body, heart training, the development of the lungs as a bonus + your muscles are quite hardy, and will burn the fat (if moderate power).

For brain protection use Cortexin, Cerebrolysin, Cogitum, Semax, Noopept, Piracetam, for heart protection buy Meldonium and Riboxin.

Street workout. One sport that has engaged our fathers and grandfathers, but they did not call it so. In fact, this horizontal bars and parallel bars with gymnastics elements. A huge plus street workout - traditionally engaged them on the street itself and translates the huge muscles will not be - but it will be back for sure wider and lean body. The result: a lot of oxygen, strengthening the lungs (constantly stretched thorax) and heart.

Martial arts and their impact on brain development.

Some martial arts are very dangerous for the brain, there is not so much the development, the case could even worsen. But we are not doctors, professors, and understand the importance of martial arts in the world today, and therefore we shall understand and give advice.

By "some" we mean shock combat. Their problem is not fatigue, not exhaustion and constant bumps! Boxing, kickboxing, MMA, karate, taekwondo and others. Who in their award winning? Roughly - who snitched on the head more than the opponent. Very cool, even if the opponent lost consciousness. And what does the "knock"? When the brain receives such trauma that it is very difficult to correct even its own location in space and he did, "she refuses to work." Any athlete of martial art will understand this feeling. "You lie down, nauseated? Here some water. "No, It is not good for leveling, development of the brain! Which exit? Take it easy guys, without fanaticism, without competition, to work "to touch," health is more important. You still easily cope with drunks in the alley or with inadequate driver, because we understand that a true professional never will throw the first with his fists. A working "on tap" and you tit and a crane will be in the hands.

The best option for Martial Arts: Judo and Bjj. According to the head does not hit, except by accident. Although sometimes so are on the mat to make that next week will be felt.

General recommendations for training

Training Frequency is 3 times per week. You may take longer, but then still reduces the workload and training time. Runners can run almost every day, but for 30 minutes and is easy (a little faster fast pitch). And conducts training no later than 4 hours before bedtime, have a view of the beginning of the workout.

P.S. Try to take a contrast shower. It is an effective tool for improving cerebral circulation. As a rule, those who regularly take a shower less sick and do not complain of headaches.

Bottom line:

• 1.If you want to be smart - train your body!
• 2.Best body workout, suitable for brain development - aerobic. And, certainly, non-severe! The duration is 60-90 minutes.
• 3.Sports: jogging, swimming, CrossFit, street workout, cycling, yoga. From martial arts - wrestling (judo, BJJ), engaged with caution shock martial arts. Too lazy to do sports? Most often you walk, at a fast pace!
• 4.A healthy body is not only a healthy mind, but also the brain. It can not be completely healthy bodied brain when the body is sick.
  

Brain and Food

You are what you eat. This expression is most accurately conveys the link between food and body care, food and the brain. It's really important! People are easier to believe in a fairy tale beautiful than the simple truth. Food - this is one of the most important elements, responsible both for your body and for the mind.

Imagine a man without lower needs are satisfied, we are referring to are chronically hungry. What are his concerns? Is he able to efficiently develop, to learn anything? Some might argue, they say, "... when I was a student, sometimes hungry every session sat, and nothing passed." So, our body is very plastic and is able to correct nutritional deficiencies. Only now, from a scientific point of view, if the number of necessary nutrients is normal, the brain works more efficiently because it is not necessary to produce stress hormones and neurotransmitters, to redistribute power through weight loss or weight gain. Therefore, wealth power is extremely important for the normal functioning of the brain. It turns out that a normal diet the student will be able to better education than his colleague malnourished, ceteris paribus.

Though of course, anything can happen in life, and food may simply not, but it is necessary to learn. Commercials-techies, students of the early 90-ies in Russia. In this case, all the competent body will redistribute, and you will lose weight, immunity to weaken, but the brain is "working." This is bad for the brain, just abuse it, and it is better not to allow, if possible.

Another example is a person, that overeats. Remember the saying "full belly to the teachings deaf!", That's just the point. On the one hand, the food is full of energy, fuel for the brain should be a lot, but do not want to do. It's all about braking neurotransmitters such as GABA, for example. After a heavy meal, increases production of these neurotransmitters, the brain gives the command to "calm" throughout the body. And for the desire to learn, you just need the desire to do something, it is glutamate, dopamine, ie excitatory neurotransmitters. That is why, after receiving a large meal, you become lazy and do not care at all.

Find at picture, at least one man, that is too thick / thin man.

For the normal functioning of the brain and must be exactly sufficient food intake! No more, no less. This figure is highly individual, Dr. Doping can not even recommend a conditional 30 kcal per 1 kg, because they do not know who goes on foot every day, and who sits at home, who are regularly trained, and who saw the gym only in the movies. So experiment, and remember what preceded your perfect condition when you were at the height of what you did, ate, slept, and how much, etc.

Proteins, fats and carbohydrates for the brain.

As you know, protein is the building blocks of our body. In the process of digestion breaks down protein into amino acids, which are then used by the brain active. For example, the amino acid glycine - is a powerful neurotransmitter in the brain. Well-known glycine in small tablets – it is a product derived from protein.

Fats. The brain is largely composed of water and fat. Abundance of fat and fatty acids are very important for the brain, if only because of their physical resemblance. Imagine when you completely rule out the fat from the food - it is a serious stress, even with plenty of protein and carbohydrates, the brain will "peter out". At the same time various minor irregularities in the functioning of the brain can result in serious illness.

Carbohydrates. Here strange situation, such as carbohydrates - is the fuel for the entire body, including the brain, but at the same time, the shortage of carbohydrates, the body uses the fat as energy. Another thing is that the carbohydrates you get from almost anywhere, and the lack of them almost unreal. Prominent among carbohydrates are foods with a high glycemic index, is the most pleasant, savory and sweet foods. Sugar, chocolate, biscuits, cakes, soda.

Sweet foods are rich in glucose, and glucose - is the main type of fuel, the most important for the brain. Under glucose easier to think you can get any sugar bowl) All sugary foods have another significant advantage - the production of hormones joy - endorphins, neurotransmitters: Serotonin, glutamate and dopamine. It is important to remember the least, it would be better a couple of times a day to drink sweet tea and cookies every day than chocolates, cakes, etc. Excess sweet threatens not only obesity and lack of desire to do something, but also diabetes.

Essential vitamins

It would be correct to say that all of the vitamins necessary to balance, but it's more a political answer. So, yes, and rightly so, but it is for the brain most important vitamins B, vitamin C and fatty acids such as omega 3, omega 6 Lack of a vitamin A or D less impact on the "state of health" of the brain, although an increased risk of vision problems and catch rachitis.)

Specific products

What should be there for a good functioning of the brain and neurotransmitters for normal health and well-being.

Fish - a very useful product for the brain, fish oil has many nutrients, Vitamin A, Omega 3, Omega 6, minerals. Eat fish, preferably boiled or baked, use a lot.

Dairy products - there is reign B vitamins and calcium. The only thing - the milk is not at all absorbed.

Egg - an excellent source of amino acids, ie protein. But egg yolk is rich in choline, vitamin B4, which the body becomes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which is produced during training. So eat eggs and train.

Sugar is as a source of glucose. A couple of cups of sweet tea you can safely drink every day, if you do not have violations with thyroid hormones. Again! Do not overdo it! Want cake - eat, but it should not be on a permanent basis.

Vegetables, fruit - set of dietary fiber and a variety of vitamins.

Meat - amino acids + fats. We advise to diversify this point a couple of times a month a dish of lamb once a week - pork, the rest of the beef and chicken. So you get the most useful properties and substances from the meat.

Carbohydrates: cereals (oatmeal, cream of wheat), rice, barley, buckwheat ... Less bread.

Once every couple of weeks is not forbidden to eat fast food and drink is a small amount of alcohol, provided that the rest of the strict discipline. Here the emphasis is on the production of endorphins and serotonin. If you do it with friends, and then go to the cinema or even in a nice place, it is considered as a discharge / unloading of the brain with good hormones and neurotransmitters, and the benefits of this is also available.

RegularityWe have already mentioned in the first part of the article that overeating as undernourished - bad. To work best brain have small amounts, but often it does not push a food force if there is no such a desire. Ideally, when before meals you just begin to show signs of hunger or stomach starts growling. With regular admission food in small quantities, you will not only not over / underload digestive system, but also neurons produce neurotransmitters in the right mode when no surges and spikes. This is the best condition for the functioning of the brain.

Also buy Cogitum, Noopept, Piracetam, Semax and Phenotropil for brain improvement.

P.S. Eating, sleeping, good mood and healthy way of life is much more important for brain development than nootropics, which you can buy at the pharmacy. Of course, there are serious preparations having a bunch of side effects and who does not buy without breaking the law (Modafinil, Ritalin, for example), they will be much stronger, but they are meaningless to the long-term goals of brain development and intelligence.

Bottom line:

• 1.Do not wait for the good of the mind, with the regular consumption of "bad" food.
• 2.Do not overeat, nerve impulses in neurons will be to create a "braking" neurotransmitters and you will be just too lazy to do anything.
• 3.Do not starve. The machine is necessary to fuel the brain needs nutrients, not to mock brain.
• 4.Eat a little bit, but often. Allows only a mild degree of hunger.
• 5.For success in life through "being clever" important such products: fish, milk, meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits and sweet (in small quantities).

Good luck! Eat good)

Noben (Idebenone)

Today we have a very unusual preparation - Idebenone, it is sold as a drug Noben in Russia. Unfortunately, it is poorly studied, but its existing effects can be called very promising, but because it is definitely worth a look for brain development project.

A bit of history.

Unlike some other products, Idebenone was not created by chance, not by mistake, but purposefully. Idebenone was synthesized in the Land of the Rising Sun, in the largest Asian pharmaceutical company, this means that over this drug worked best minds in pharmaceutical direction at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. The drug Idebenone has been established for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (memory loss).

How does Idebenone act?

Idebenone is a synthetic analogue of coenzyme Q10. Now we apply the logic of induction method for a better understanding of the drug.

• 1.Coenzyme Q10 - a vitamin-like substance located in your cells, which has a number of useful properties, which is just what this substance helps produce 95% of ATP, your body's energy.

Coenzyme Q10 is «pure" free radicals. Free radicals trigger the mechanism of lipid peroxidation, it is clear - the domino principle: one molecule affects the other, and the other - the third and so on until 30 times. Because coenzyme Q10 is much accumulates in the liver, heart, kidneys, brain - in those places where a vital need for regular "cleaning." Because Q10 is often used as an anti-aging agent, causing it to, say, on the face.

• 2.Japanese craftsmen took this coenzyme and "pumped, improved" it. The result was more than just Coenzyme Q10.
• 3.The first studies on mice showed improved learning and memory. Mice are better remember images than their relatives. Later studies were conducted on people suffering from various diseases. In general, we can distinguish 5 proven beneficial properties of idebenone: rejuvenation, increased energy, nootropic effect, improving the work of bodies and the fight against toxins. We are interested in nootropics, because further consider nootropic effect.

So, we list nootropic work of Idebenone:

• Antioxidant effect. The preparation of "pure" free radicals, which are all over the body and especially a lot of them in the brain. It provides not only a healthy functioning body, but also reduces the risk of cancer. Roughly, this effect can be called - Anti-virus for the brain. As a consequence, the brain works better.
• Idebenone potentially enhances nerve growth factor in the brain (NGF)! It is the most striking effect! Increasing the level of NGF is the creation of new neurons and synapses, ie the connections between Nero. This can lead to better long-term memory and increase neuroplasticity. To help you understand how it's cool, then again the example of a computer: you increase the hard drive and put a better processor.
• Increases the production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that is released when a new experience or training. Ie remember something you can on the n-Noe number of percent faster. Piracetam has the same principle of action.

Whether Idebenone is effective?

Yes, but some information about the drug, the answer is formed on the basis of reports on various studies conducted both in animals and in humans. Pronounced nootropic action was in murine studies, the drug was used to people only in accordance with a certain disease. However, there was observed improvement in memory in the elderly.

Dosage, side effects, safety, how much to drink.

The drug is considered to be fairly safe, except may only be kidney failure. Although renal failure may be a contraindication for any pill that is excreted primarily by the kidneys. Main side effects are allergy, headache and agitation.

Admission of Idebenone usually lasts 6-7 weeks. Initial dosage of 2 tablets (60 mg) per day, after meals. In the absence of side effects within 5-7 days add to 3 tablets (90 mg) per day, last admission is recommended no later than 5 hours before the expected sleep. On completion of the course take a break in 2 months. You can then repeat.

What will be the effect?

Exacerbation of visual, auditory and tactile receptors, or - do you prefer to see, hear and feel. Tinnitus disappears.

Motivation to activity, but not like caffeine or Phenotropil or Phenibut, rather like Piracetam.

Nootropic effect seems very natural and pleasant. Idebenone as an antivirus "cleans" the brain and, presumably, create new neurons. It creates the effect of "new brain" as a child, when the head is still "empty" and it is still possible to score information. Buy online Noben.

More focus on the corpus callosum is a plexus of nerve fibers between the brain hemispheres. This is something that helps you to not just take a computer mouse in the right hand, but also to understand that this is not glass, and even submit it to the imagination, even to human ears. The corpus callosum is committed to help the two brain hemispheres to work synergistically. Idebenone and, incidentally, Piracetam improves the communication between the hemispheres! So do not be afraid to explore the game on a musical instrument, the sense of sound + motor skills + memory will be at altitude.

When waiting for the effect?

The drug is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, pretty good passes the blood-brain barrier. In general, a small surge of cheerfulness can begin after 2 hours. The maximum blood concentration reached in 3-5 hours. Then the decline started.

Nootropic effect, ie memory, attention and "grasp quickly" you should wait for 3 weeks. After discontinuation of the drug effect will continue for 3-4 weeks.

To help Idebenone

The preparation goes well with Piracetam and vitamin B5 - the average speed, the body does not wear out, a good learner. If you are very sick scumbag - that instead of the last - Phenotropil, Caffeine - but it is already present deterioration of the body and an increased risk of side effects. But we recommend the first option, simply because, in the long run, it has more advantageous. Also do not forget to eat right and do sports.

Bottom line:

• 1.Idebenone is sold in Russia as a drug "Noben". The drug is working nootropic.
• 2.The effects of "new brain" is after 20 days (without loss of the old, of course), reboot, cleaning "Antivirus" head, light motivation.
• 3.Effect 2 hours, the duration of up to 8-10 hours - easy cheerfulness. Nootropic effects are after 3 weeks.
• 4.Take alone or with Piracetam and complex of vitamins (especially important Vitamin B5).
• 5.Learn a new way, it's time to start drawing / designing / writing. Learn the basics of the guitar, for example. Pull math / Management / programming - another strike.

Good luck, it is never too late to start to do something new!

Noopept

It's time for another interesting Nootropic drug, which can be purchased at the pharmacy. This drug is highly respected in the Western world, where they like to question everything, and almost do not believe in miracles. In 2002, in the RAMS proved that Noopept is 1000 times more efficient than Piracetam at identical doses. Usage of Nootropics would not be effective, without your active actions in terms of brain development. Traditionally, first let's talk about the history of Noopept.

A Brief History of Noopept

The drug is created in Russia, and its development took place in the USSR. It just so happened that our country some time ago was very interested in increasing the intellectual ability of their citizens to take the same Phenibutum and Phenotropil as medicines for astronauts or Semax as an aid to the IFL. Noopept was no exception, however, was patented only in the mid-1990s.

How does Noopept act?

Generally Noopept is a bundle of the amino acids glycine and prolyl ester of phenylacetyl group, which appears to work synergistically (1 + 1 = 3). To a large extent we have interest for a bunch of spilled and glycine as the ester phenylacetyl a simple prolongation (renewal) of action the first 2 amino acids.

So, you take a pill N-phenylacetyl-L-prolylglycine (Noopept), it is in your stomach. Then there is the product "digestion" or, in scientific language, a metabolite of Noopept - cycloprolyl - glycine. It is then absorbed into the bloodstream and then easily pass the BBB (brain protective system, anti-virus) and into the brain.

There is observed the following:

• 1.It enhances the action of acetylcholine receptors. About acetylcholine in detail in the article with Piracetam, briefly recall that this is a neurotransmitter that is produced in the cells of the brain in response to receiving the new experience or training, and is responsible for them. Noopept improves the functioning of the neurotransmitter, which "helps" you learn something new.
• 2.Group of scientists at the Institute of Pharmacology RAMS study Noopept, which was conducted on rats. 16 rats were divided into groups of 8 and 28 days for one of them Noopept was administered.

According to the results it showed an increase protein product neurotrophic factor NGF and BDNF, in the hypothalamus at 70% and 60%, respectively, as well as growth of BDNF in hippocampus by 15%. Increased BDNF mRNA in the hippocampus of 124%! What does it mean?

Protein secretion of NGF increased (nerve growth factor). This factor is the root of the breaks once an established "Nerve cells do not regenerate" system, nerve cells, or neurons not only restored, but also create new ones!

Increased secretion of the protein BDNF. It stimulates the development of new neurons, "builds" a bridgehead for them.
The increase is in the mRNA of BDNF (where growth of 124%). This means that the body is biologically notice a change BDNF.

The hippocampus, briefly, is the part of the brain responsible for emotions and the formation of long-term memory. Hypothalamus - part of the brain responsible for the normal production of hormones in our body.

Merge: Noopept "pump" in the departments brain associated with hormones, emotions and memory. And because the drug is a long-lasting effect, and what you have built up, the knowledge that you will get, they do not go away after taking the drug. This is a serious help in the prevention of dementia and imbalance.

And Let’s summarize, point 1 + 2 = amplifies the action of acetylcholine receptors and improvement in hormones, emotions and memory.

Is Noopept effective nootropic?

Yes. However, it is not a stimulant, it does not make you "work" just EXTREMELY important to observe one condition! The main condition is training and studying!

We remember that Noopept enhances the action of acetylcholine receptors, but the acetylcholine must be produced, how? New experience and training! Thus, sitting at home on the couch and watching TV - you do not get anything, but will be a little more to remember. To complete a good circuit you only need a strong start - study! Only in this way "starts Acetylcholine", which as a conductor is to drag your knowledge directly into neurons, and also will increase nerve growth factor. You can buy Noopept.

Dosage, side effects, security, how much to take.

The drug is considered to be harmless, possible side effects, linked to the individual characteristics of the organism. It may be an allergy: rash, redness, and the like. It is also possible reactions associated with the fact that the drug increases the concentration of neurotrophic growth factors in the hippocampus, ie possible reactions associated with emotions such as aggression. But this is unlikely.

Another possible side effect is headache. Here it is necessary to trace the chain: Noopept activates the acetylcholine that is formed from choline, choline stocks are reduced, which can lead to headaches. The decision - "to add choline in reserve".

Optimal reception of Noopept period is 2 months. Dosage = 30-40 mg / day, or 3-4 tablets (10 mg) per day, divided into 3-4 hours. Because the drug is an amino acid and an ester, it is advisable to take during or after a meal, preferably a protein, since it will be easier for the digestive tract. After receiving Noopept do break equal time as you drank it. Then, if desired, repeat the course of Noopept.

What will be the effect?

Optimized "setting" of hormone production, which leads to a better life. Improved learning, but again, only for training. Improved long-term memory and mood, at the expense of neurotrophic growth factors in the relevant brain regions. In practice, it is seen like this: before you read the one hour 30 pages of the book, you will now dive into it deeper and look at pages 40-50, 15, taught English words a day, is now 20-25 at the same time cost.

Improves sleep, as well as with Piracetam and Phenotropil may occur FullHD dreams, the logical and beautiful. And, if you normally sleep 8 hours now you will wake up themselves after 6-7 hours.

If you have in life everything is fine, everything is going as it should, you will experience the real white stripe: everything goes better, the day will be bright and interesting, even if routine work, and at night are still vivid dreams with Noopept)

When waiting for the effect?

Noopept refers to Racetam as Piracetam. Nootropic effect is expected after 2 weeks, although it can all start earlier. Some effects are already visible after a couple of days (dreams, mood).

To help Noopept

Chief assistant this drug: Education, Choline (Vitamin B4) and Vitamin B5. Choline supplements sold as "lecithin". Lecithin can be replaced with another interesting addition - DMAE. The essence of the choline or DMAE reception lies in the fact that they are in the body becomes acetylcholine, which already uses Noopept. This also substantially reduces the risk of headache. However, if you regularly eat eggs or offal (kidneys, liver, heart), the lecithin or take DMAE is not necessary.

Vitamin B5 is necessary for normal metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates, fat, cholesterol and neurotransmitters acetylcholine and histamine. In short, it is a useful Vitamine, one of the few positive effect on acetylcholine, and as a consequence, on memory and learning.

Bottom line:

• 1.Noopept is working nootrop.
• 2.Effects of Noopept: the vital energy (but not stimulated) in the form of good mood and a desire for change, performance, easier to learn and remember (long term memory).
• 3.Noopept has a cumulative effect, it will begin to work "just right" in 10-15 days.
• 4.Noopept should take 10 mg (1 tablet) 3 times a day, after a meal rich in protein. Course is up to 2 months, then a break.
• 5.Add in the course of Noopept some Lecithin or DMAE with group B complex of vitamins (especially important B4 and B5).
• 6.The most important thing is to learn, to grow, to get a new experience.

On the needle

What sports is difficult to imagine without doping scandals

The history of professional sports is closely intertwined with the use of illicit drugs. Some species are already impossible to imagine without doping scandals. I understood, in what disciplines the easiest to catch the dishonest athlete.

Cycle Racing

Professional cyclists have started taking banned substances at the dawn of the development of the sport. Seriously address the issue of cycling organizers decided only in the early fifties of the twentieth century - it was then that appeared the innovative methods of detecting banned substances in the body. The cornerstone was the death of Tom Simpson, who died from an amphetamine overdose (the effect is to increase the activity and vitality, reduce fatigue, to increase the ability to concentrate and decrease need for sleep) on the 13th stage of the stage race "Tour de France". This happened in 1967.

Time passed, but the problem remained. The doping scandals in cycling today are growing like mushrooms after rain. One of the most high-profile doping revelations became the story of the victorious American Cancer Lance Armstrong, who is the only athlete, seven times finisher "Tour de France" was the first in the overall standings (1999-2005). And all would do if, in an interview with the athlete did not say that, without stimulants like cycling race win is not possible. Reward quickly found his hero in 2012, Lance was disqualified for life for doping and stripped of all titles won since 1998.

Do not stand aside, and our athletes. One of the most successful Russian road cyclist of recent years Olga Zabelinskaya in July 2014 caught using a banned fat burner. However, the verdict in her case has not yet been announced, which means that there is hope for a favorable outcome. But one of the best racers of the last decade Russian Denis Menchov in the best hope was too late: in the same July, he was banned for two years for doping rule violation. The results of the athlete on the "Tour de France", shown to them in 2009, 2010 and 2012, have also been canceled.

Athletics

Up to 80-ies of doping in athletics were isolated, could not find full confirmation and caused a wide public resonance. Participants of the first scandal was the Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson. In 1988, he won the race world record for 100 meters in the final of the Seoul Olympics, and the next day the forbidden Stanazol was found in an organism Canadian (increases strength and endurance), one of the most widely used steroid drug products to this day. For violation of the rules Johnson was disqualified.

The unification of Germany opened the secret of the success of the former athletes athletics world leader of the German Democratic Republic. Most impressive history of European champion 1986 in the shot put Heidi Krieger. At the request of the coaching staff since adolescence athlete taking anabolic steroids and male hormones, which is why the body irreversibly changed, and in 1997 went to Heidi on operation on sex reassignment, becoming Andreas. Case Krieger was made public, and in 2000 testimony athletes (athlete's?) Helped to prove the guilt of the former President of the German Sports and Gymnastics Union of the GDR Manfred Ewald and former vice-director of the sports medical service of the GDR Manfred Heppner, who were found guilty of harming 142 athletes including minors.

In Russia itself, "doping" the discipline of recent years has walking trails. The result of the most high-profile revelations domestic walkers began a two-year suspension of Olympic champion Elena Lashmanova. In January 2014 in the doping sample the country's leader women's team was found deadly drug - metabolite GW1516 (gene doping).

One of the most prominent Russian experts in the fight against doping, GW1516 - is a scientific and technological revolution in medicine and sport. Technologies developed for the treatment of serious diseases of our time, scale and in secret have been used in illegal sports medicine. GW1516 reconstructs the work of genes in the human body. The drug, invented in the United States, has been tested on mice, which after its application were running 60-70 percent longer and farther than their conventional counterparts. However, sufficient studies have been conducted on humans. There is a suspicion that the use of GW1516 able to rebuild the work of human cardiac muscle, which can lead to fatal consequences.

Biathlon
One of the most popular winter sports are also not remained aloof from the doping scandals. But, oddly enough, the first case of the use of banned substances by athletes was recorded only in 2000. The sample for doping Finnish biathlete Outi Kettunen showed the presence of the steroid - Nadrolone, which helps to quickly and build muscle without significant contraindications. Annual athlete punished by disqualification.

Unfortunately, today the main supplier of doping scandals in biathlon - is Russia. In December 2008, there was a really massive "catch" our biathletes: just three members of the main team - Albina Akhatova, Catherine St. George's and Dmitry Yaroshenko - were caught on the use of illicit drugs. The trio received a three-year disqualification without the right to act not only in the Games of 2010, but also in the home Olympics in Sochi. Strange but true - most recently at the St George's had a second puncture. Another suspension from competition for eight years, put an end to even the theoretical return of Catherine. However, on February 21 this year, a few days before opening the re-doping tests St. George announced his retirement.

Thunder in late 2013 came the disqualification Irina Old. Tyumen biathlete was the main hope of the women's team at the Olympics in Sochi. All who knew and coached Staryh, did not believe that the athlete deliberately went to the use of illicit substances. First coach athletes Valery Kondakov assumed that someone could mix with her specially prohibited substances in food. However, this did not save Russian woman from a two-year suspension.

Ski race

Here mass "capture" of athletes also started only at the beginning of zero, although in 80-90 there were a lot of rumors. In 2001, while in ski sports world championships in Lahti, Finland just six riders were caught on the use of a prohibited substance HES (hydroxyethyl starch). This drug belongs to a group of medicines that generally are not stimulants anything but hinder detection laboratory stimulants. Therefore, they are included in the taboo list.

The consequences of the scandal appeared to Finnish skiing catastrophic. The national team of the country has lost not only a few won medals (including gold in the men's relay and silver in the women), but also the best skiers (all six disqualified for two years), coaches (lifetime suspension from sporting activities), as well as most of the sponsors.

The first unpleasant experience associated with the use of banned substances by Russians, took place in 1997 on the cross-country skiing World Cup. Six times Olympic champion Lyubov Yegorova has been convicted in application bromantan (aka bromantane aka Ladasten, domestic miracle potion, which gives extraordinary power athletes and endurance) and disqualified for three years.

His most big doping scandal in the domestic skiing took place in 2002, during the Olympic Games in Salt Lake City. In the body of Larissa Lazutina and Olga Danilova was detected erythropoietin - a hormone that allows you to dramatically improve aerobic blood. Conclusions from this story Russian skiers did not, and in 2009, the eve of the Games in Vancouver, on an artificial new generation of erythropoietin were caught Olympic champions Evgeny Dementiev and Yuliya Chepalova and promising Natalia Matveeva and Nina Rysin. Later the number of disqualified joined the famous skier Nikolay Pankratov. All were suspended from the sport for two years.

The result of the measures taken was the change in leadership of Federation of Russia ski races (FLGR). With the arrival to the presidency of the legendary Helen Vyalbe scandals Federation became a party to circumvent our team, but also the past victories are no more.

Swimming

On the application of prohibited substances in swimming first began in the XIX century. The pioneers not only in this form, but also in sports in general have become Dutch. In 1865, at a tournament in Amsterdam several swimmers caught in the use of stimulants - according to an ancient tradition of the Dutch athletes relieves stress. Disqualifications then managed to escape as the anti-doping legislation at the time it was not simple

The first official event took place at the Munich Olympics in 1972. American swimmer Rick Demont caught on ephedrine, which is designed to help in the fight against excess weight. The athlete was stripped of his gold medal won in the 400 meter freestyle. However, later it turned out that Demont was asthmatic and had medical permission to medicine. But even 29 years later, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has refused to review the results of competitions.

Among the Russian athletes, the most scandalous was marked by three-time world champion Yulia Efimova. In January 2014 in the doping sample athletes discovered a substance from the class of anabolic steroids. Later athlete stated that enjoyed fat burner, not knowing that the prohibited substance is included in its composition. Recognition is not saved from disqualification Efimov: athlete suspended from competition for 16 months.

Of very recent cases - disqualification Sergey Makov. In the national team of Russia in October 2013 Macs set a world record in the mixed relay at the World Cup in Moscow, later in his doping sample was found ostarin - drug for building muscle. A year later, the athlete was handed a disappointing verdict - two-year disqualification.

"Clean"

Despite the constant flow of news about the next to catch the athlete or the emergence of new advanced methods of anti-doping, there is sports, where the percentage of the use of prohibited substances is negligible. To those, above all, it is football and ice hockey. In recent years, Russian football has been taken about two thousand samples, and only three of them tested positive. On one occasion it was revealed in 2010, 2011 and 2012 - the athletes across on diuretics, stimulants and cannabis, or, in other words, by his own stupidity. After all, no one does not stimulate anabolic activity of the brain, but because team sports are included in the category of "clean".

Russian Nootropics - Application

We will explore all possible options for development of the brain and brain potential. If you want to become more intelligent, bright, inventive, brainy, clever, quick and smarter. If not, then do not waste your most valuable resource. without your active actions in terms of brain development, no nootropic drug will not help.

What is this terrible word "nootropics," what are the classification, how they work and whether it is work which best nootropics, whether they are dangerous? On these and many other questions we try to answer today.

“Limitless”

The 20th century is traditionally considered the century of Information Technology and industry, because for some one hundred years of the planet has gone from being the dominant horse riding to the full car with internal combustion engine, from radio to mobile phone and "stuffed" the computer late 90s. Think of any large company - Microsoft, Ford, ExxonMobil, it is somehow connected with the technique and the rapid massive spread. Now try to remember any number of large pharmaceutical companies? Can anyone could, but agree that the car brands list much easier. This is because biology has not yet been passed to the people the same scale as physics.

We congratulate you, you are on the threshold of outstanding discoveries in the field of medicine. Perhaps now we ride on horseback in the direction of the Biological and only hear about it, that "there is magic pills that will make more intelligent", probably in the early 20th century also talked about planes and cars in any provincial town. And we only have to see the "TV", not to mention the "thin and color." And if physics (engineering), largely created and changed the human environment, the biology changes the person.

Can you imagine what would happen to our world if the average person's IQ will increase by 2 times, and positive feelings (kindness, love, altruism, love for others, the world and the animals) only intensify. In such circumstances, we can expect constant breakthroughs in various fields. Brain development - this is the area that can be raised to a new stage of development of anything. But the "magic pill" - is only part of the development of brain potential, and certainly not great. So, what is known about nootropics, today.

Nootropics are drugs and dietary supplements that improve brain function, which subsequently affects on direct brain functions: memory, learning ability, focus, etc. As they are credited with the adaptation properties under stressful situations (for example, lack of oxygen, in sports).

Piracetam, aka Lucetam or Nootropil – considered to be the first notropic, created in the second half of the 20th century.
Neuro-metabolic stimulants, or nootropics, originally created for the treatment of certain diseases, mostly associated with dementia and poor memory and to restore the ability of the brain after trauma and stroke. The question is, what will happen with a healthy brain, while taking nootropics? Someone tells the legend of the "complete personality change in six months", someone on the other hand "became a lazy, sleepy head ... and sick." In general, effective nootropics, even the expense of self-hypnosis, you can delve into the world wide web and see this. However, we shall understand why all of the effects on healthy people so unique.

Study, study and study again

The essence of the use of nootropics for self-development lies in the fact that they are only helpers! Once again, if you're waiting for some kind of "arrival" of a drug addict, that "I sit here, wait and start well to think in 20 minutes," or, if you're a schoolboy / student - Losers, then you do not pass your math with nootropics doing nothing. First, you must understand that all depends on you and not on the pill. New knowledge you will not be without learning and this new knowledge, it is a fact. Anyway, we have not heard about such things.So what do nootropics? They help to create the conditions of "clean" your brain, speed up the transfer of signals between the hemispheres. Some (idebenone, noopept) have proven effects, although in rats that increases neuronal growth factor (of NGF), ie adding new nerve cells! New cell memory, emotions, creativity ...How to use it? Study, study and study again. Here you have the motivation, you have no one to complain to. Of course, we exclude congenital diseases associated with dementia. And if a person tends to improve if he even unconsciously so wishes, he can also show outstanding progress.

Many believe this effect is the placebo, say nootropics do not work and are based on the study of the same Piracetam, which took place on the sick and the elderly, it is unlikely that they have something to teach, and Piracetam works only when mental stress, more about this, see the corresponding article.

So nootropics can help you change, to become smarter, the push for these changes lies behind you.

Nootropics and neurotransmitters.

Nootropic drugs associated with changes in metabolic, bioenergetic processes in the nerve cell by neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters - a kind of intermediary in "dialogue cells" is a letter sent between two people. They can cause a positive, negative, excitement, inhibition. Nootropics so influenced by one cell, that she "writes the letters" and other reports as nootropic effect. Nootropics can "call for active, passive, peace." For example, nootropic medicine "Phenibutum", it gives you a moderate activity (effects on dopamine) and quiet (effects on GABA) from it easier to perform repetitive work where quality is important, it is easier to fall asleep you do not care about caring. Or its opposite - Phenotropil, there could be if you were an hour to die, and you need as much time to, released a "neurotransmitter cocktail" that clueless you are faster, you are bolder, more talkative, but making a lot of mistakes, suitable for work where it is important number, rather than quality.

It is worth remembering that any drug - a medicine and a poison at the same time, depends on the individual, the dosage and the reception period.

Effective nootropics

Remember for life, with this attitude, you still will not be time to deal with. The risk is approximately equal to the yield. It is taken out of the economy, this relationship is characterized by, for example, percent. Suppose you are an investor and you decide where to invest the money. There is an option to invest in a startup that or disappear after a year or begin to bring a lot of money (50-100% per annum), as well through the year. 2nd option is to put money into a reliable bank at 7% per annum. You see the difference?

Another example. From point A to B and scooter rider travels, travels constantly for the first 150 km / h, the second about 50-60 km / h. Who quick access, the greater the risk.

Of great importance here plays - Personality, man. Think how will shift the risk, if the driver of the motorcycle - a professional motorcycle racer in top gear with more than 10 years of experience, and the driver of the scooter - 16-year-old kid in flip flops, t-shirt, shorts and experiences with boys "in the country driving drove the summer ". With whom would you have invested in this situation?

Same thing with nootropamics! Those that are less dangerous, they are, of course, will be the effect, but not a paste, and over time. And the most effective is prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), such as Adderall and Ritalin, they are very effective, they are out of your fragmentary thoughts and ideas will collect a cool puzzle, concentrate, give forces. But you think about the risks which they mix "neurotransmitter cocktail." This is the drugs, and they mislead you completely whole hormonal system.

ADHD is a condition often seen in children, you think about it, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Kids are active and that little talk. Many famous people have had as a child, this syndrome (or similar status), but they sent all their energy into some sphere and scored on their peers.

There is also modafinil - effective nootropic drug, military development, which allows the pilot to maintain combat readiness of helicopters and excellent condition of 88 hours at a sleep over all the time in 8 hours. Try for 3 days sleeping at 2.5 hours. Imagine how powerful the drug. But it is also dangerous.

In general, the more effective nootrop is the faster acting and more risk!

Nootropics can be divided into 3 groups of hazards:

• 1.Relatively safe: Piracetam (Lucetam, Nootropil), Idebenone (Noben), Ginkgo biloba (Tanakan), Lecithin, Pramiracetam, Noopept, DMAE, Glycine, Q10, Vitamins, Semax.
• 2.Medium danger: DMAA, Phenibut, Phenotropil (Phenylpiracetam), Forskolin, Cerebrolysin, Sunifiram.
• 3.High danger: Modafinil, Adderall, Ritalin, Dexedrine.

How to take nootropics?

The safety nootropic - the longer usage. Preparations of the 1st group can be taken up to 2 months, from 2nd can be taken up to 3 weeks, 3 rd - ...

A look into the future.

Brave New World .. Finally a little bit of futurology.

We believe that over time there will be real pills for brain up the lazy ones, where new neural connections (a new experience, memory), will be created from the old memory expense of "filling-in" logic circuits. After all, everything is new - is well forgotten old. Perhaps such actions will be: you were asked "how to increase sales in this store?". You raise your head in the archive associated with what ever heard on this point, your brain filters and organizes information from other fields: sales, mathematical formulas, rumors, jokes, biology after all. In the end, you give a logical and original answer based on their experience and knowledge.

How can this happen? Remember about "neurotransmitter cocktail"? Maybe it will not work 10 hours, not 1-2 months, subject to a daily drink tablets, and years and decades. And we believe that there will be an opportunity for some time to "go on vacation", give your head a rest, reformate the secretion of hormones and neurotransmitters.

Although, who knows, perhaps there are "secret lab" generating such a pill for the elite, a limited number of persons. In any case, about them not yet heard, which means you still have to study, study and study again.)

Let’s Summarize:

• 1.Nootropics are drugs and dietary supplements that improve brain function + protect it from toxins, help in sporting activities, the lack of oxygen. This is mainly due to the impact on certain neurotransmitters.
• 2.21 th century - the century of biology, medicine, revolutionary discoveries in the offing.
• 3.Nootropics are effective in brain development, but in the presence of the development of the brain. Because develops.
• 4.The effective nootrop is the more dangerous one. Do not look for easy and quick ways. Slightly hazardous nootropics - it's just a slower way to "awake brain".

How often should I change the running shoes?

Looking at the running shoes, we often ask the question: How often should I change my shoes?

As for the equipment, running can be called a mere sport, it does not matter, you are getting ready for the race to 5 km, Half Marathon, a full marathon or just jog around the area. Of course, the need for running functional clothing, but more importantly you need a good pair of sneakers. But how long to retain the properties of sports shoes and how to determine that it is time to replace your running shoes?

Modern materials have changed the quality of athletic shoes, but even modern materials degrade over time, its properties, primarily depreciation. According to research running shoes should be replaced after 500-800 km from the first run. For example, a runner-lover, who runs 5 times a week for 5-7 km, time to think about a change of shoes occurs within 6-7 months.

For running also recommend to use Trental, Cyanocobalamin injection and Meldonium for sale.)

Why buy new shoes if they are still kind of very decent look? Because the sole materials change their properties and ability to absorb shock loads deteriorates first. This can lead to injury. Some injuries can be minor, others may require a long recovery.

Why experts give a variation in the time to replace the shoes? Because we are all different, we all have different weights, different pronation, different setting foot on the ground. It affects the cushioning properties of the shoe in different ways.

Therefore, here are some of the first things that may indicate that it is time to think about changing shoes:

Carefully inspect the soles for delaminations, cracks, abrasions.
Check the elasticity of the sole from the inside thumb for uniformity and elasticity. Do not let the appearance of hard lumps or dips.
Pay attention to any signs of pain in the legs or discomfort. This body submits the signs that something is wrong.
Compare old sneakers new sneakers. Once you begin to feel discomfort in the old - which means it's time to change shoes.
Change your running shoes. This will avoid unnecessary injuries.

Take care of yourself and have fun training.

Neuroleptics, Antipsychotics. Part 7

It remains to tell more about the two neuroleptic - of new, atypical. Perhaps, then, a separate post, is worth mentioning about the forms of release neuroleptics, which allows not to take them every day in the tablets and make a shot, say, once every two weeks, and then once a month - but we'll see whether or not it Togo. And yet - get acquainted.

Quetiapine. Seroquel, Ketilept, Kventiax, Nantarid, Lacvel - so much more the name of each company is trying to call by its own. The main point of its application is delusions and paranoid syndrome. In this respect, Quetiapine may be somewhat inferior to Olanzapine - because he gets a little more courteous and considerate with regard bulldozer crazy designs, but he has a couple of features, due to which, in some cases it is preferred to use Quetiapine.

Yes, it is just as Olanzapine, is quite rare, and much weaker than the classical antipsychotics is neuroleptic syndrome. Yes, it is less and less, than risperidone causes lethargy and drowsiness - although at times may well prove to be. But there is another important point: Quetiapine, in contrast to olanzapine and risperidone, much less can cause a rise in blood prolactin levels and much less likely to cause weight gain - in other words, on it less fattening. You can buy Phenazepam.

And one more feature: it is better than the actual delusional or paranoid, Quetiapine effect on depressive-delusional and depressive-paranoid symptoms. Sometimes, though (rare, but cases have been) can "knock out" the person on the opposite - manic or hypomanic phase, and this should be taken into account. But in general, this feature allows you to use it in the treatment of not only schizophrenia, but also bipolar disorder (TIR, as soon as it was called), especially in the depressive phase, when in fact joins the second depression delusions of guilt, self-humiliation, worthlessness, and other worm-like. Just in this case (when the depressive-delusional syndrome developed with MIS), quetiapine is prescribed more than one, and in combination with an antidepressant. In principle it is possible to continue later, when the exacerbation has passed, but the planned transition to a manic phase - but will have to combine quetiapine is not with antidepressants, mood stabilizers and on (about them the story is yet to come). And one more feature that is celebrated and quetiapine, and a number of other antipsychotic drugs - is its ability to reduce the depth of the emotional and volitional defect or decrease in schizophrenics. It is very important, it should be noted feature.

Aripiprazole. Abilify, Zylaxera, Amdoal. Perhaps it is not so much effect on hallucinations as Solian and risperidone, and not so zealously opposes delirium as olanzapine and Seroquel. Maybe. But it gives the side effects much smaller than other atypical (and even more - classical) antipsychotics. That is, much less when his reception there neuroleptic syndrome, much less can expect complications of the heart, by the endocrine system (ie, prolactin, for example, it is much less likely increases and diabetes rarely causes), it rarely affects the weight gain. And so aripiprazole pretty good use as a medicine for long-term maintenance treatment - at the same schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, for example. And also it with less apprehension can be used, if developed psychosis in adolescents aged 13 years. Or in patients with diabetes mellitus. Or a patient with cardiac problems. In principle in some cases it can also be used for acute treatment of established, not only for its prevention.

Prick from menopause

Grabs one symptom after another, trying to calm something that, on the contrary, stimulate, and the side effects minimized ... And all it cases: make sure to take a pill (well, there is pricked something) - and over the body, as in 20-25 years.

As far as I noticed, on this issue quite seriously working people and grown-up. And not only at the level of beauty salons and plastic surgery offices. Because, in the words of the Patrician Vetinari, nothing to apply make-up on ulcers. The problem is solved more fundamentally and systemically.

One of the age-related problems is this change in hormonal status. That is, changes in the activity of certain hormones, which in my youth was on the move and sometimes ricocheted touched not only the cortex of the brain, but even its wood, in adulthood - provide a comfortable life, and in later years suddenly pulled the body of the hydrocarbon chain and whispered - say, now without me, commander. Yes, I'm talking about menopause.

The fact that the unpleasant sensations that occur during this period, the problem is not so limited. And feelings about leaving youth, coupled with some white envy (optional - a black hatred) to the young, so early - too. A number of mental illnesses that account for the letter F in the ICD-10, there is in menopause and either partially or completely can be caused by them, from asthenic conditions and neurosis-like disorders, and to more serious things of great Psychiatry.

Well, the quality of life, of course. What about it began to think, and we have - this is a good sign, it is an indication that all the same we have to live a little better, and now you can from survival issues go to the crawfish and the cherry on the cake, but the list to the life of the requirements It was accordingly wider. Accordingly, the approach to menopause treatment has become more systemic and not limited Solomon "will take place and that" any attempts to muffle any one of the most unpleasant symptoms.

One of the main approaches and principles in the treatment of climacteric syndrome at the moment - it is an attempt to fill a gap in the hormonal status, caused during menopause. In addition, developed and trends. Goal? Yes, everything is the same: to get the effect and fuck with a minimum of risk. As so accurately dose hormones, as does the organism in its normal state, it is still quite problematic.

To cope with stress – use Phenazepam, Afobazol and Phenibut.

One of these new products - Pineamin. As planned by the creators decided to do some magic over the trophy epiphyses and cook one hood (? Remember, this same principle underlay the creation Cerebrolysin and Cortexin), the drug controls the hormone balance on a more subtle level, at the level of care, "the hypothalamus - pituitary gland." Moreover, the developers promise, and anti-age effect of its use, and even scored some statistical base, allowing it to claim. In addition, it is stated in terms of the safety of a possible cancer development (long-term) and the minimal risk of unpleasant side effects. And a more convenient way of its application as compared with the constant daily intake of other drugs: injections course lasts 10 days, all of these courses a year of not more than three or four.

How will prove its use on a mass scale - time will tell. The good news is that medicine is moving in the direction of "drugs for youth"
