The Neuropsychotherapist the neuropsychotherapist volume 5 issue 12, December 2017 neuropsychotherapist.com From the Editor n what seems like a flash, I find I am introducing my second issue of The Neuropsy- chotherapist—and, I can confess, I am loving every moment. As I take over the reins of content management, I look forward to receiving your submissions and Richard Hill suggestions for upcoming issues—an article, something short and fascinating, a Managing Editor Ibook review, or perhaps a person who you believe deserves a spotlight. In this issue, we continue to cover the serious problem of PANDAS. Micaela Monteiro-Haig helps us understand the neurobio- logical details, and she also covers treatments that, among other things, include recommendations for following an anti-inflammatory diet and guidelines for maintaining gut health. Micaela’s view as a naturopath widens our perspective. We have so much to learn about how to recognise and treat this difficult paediatric condition. We will continue our exploration in future issues. Bob Shebib’s article “Neuroscience and Counselling” takes us on a walk through the brain. It is a great introduction for those beginning to learn and an excellent review for others, including myself. I love the way he creates conver- sations from clinical practice to illustrate the context and application of the neuroscience he describes. And what do we know about smiling? Our neuroscience short-take gives us a surprising research insight that you might not be expecting. Finally, our last Last Word for the year comes from Terry Marks-Tarlow who reflects on time, which is entirely fitting for our year-closing issue. The Neuropsychotherapist is a great fan of Terry’s work on play, art, and creativity. Take some time to search it out. Which leaves me a few lines to wish everyone connected to The Neuropsychotherapist—whether the editorial team, contributor, or reader—a very happy and relaxing end of year break. We hope that you are encouraged and strengthened as you celebrate your personal, cultural and religious traditions, whatever they may be. May you and your families be well and full of good heart, and may the New Year be all that it can be.

Smiling has to be a good thing, and broadly speaking, it is, but Aparna Labroo and colleagues have conducted research that shows it rather depends on what you are ex- pecting (Labroo, Mukhopadhyay, & Dong, 2014). Despite the title above debasing the infamous doing anything meaningful. This proved a strong line from Monty Python, the research examined the correlation. So, if wasting time is a major creator of principle that the more people smile, the happier negative mood, why do people keep going back to they will be.

    Opinion The Ouroboros Model, Proposal for Self-Organizing General Cognition Substantiated Knud Thomsen Paul Scherrer Institut, 5232 Villigen-PSI, Switzerland; [email protected] Abstract: The Ouroboros Model has been proposed as a biologically-inspired comprehensive cog- nitive architecture for general intelligence, comprising natural and artificial manifestations. The approach addresses very diverse fundamental desiderata of research in natural cognition and also artificial intelligence, AI. Here, it is described how the postulated structures have met with supportive evidence over recent years. The associated hypothesized processes could remedy pressing problems plaguing many, and even the most powerful current implementations of AI, including in particular deep neural networks. Some selected recent findings from very different fields are summoned, which illustrate the status and substantiate the proposal.

  • Heraldic Terms
    HERALDIC TERMS The following terms, and their definitions, are used in heraldry. Some terms and practices were used in period real-world heraldry only. Some terms and practices are used in modern real-world heraldry only. Other terms and practices are used in SCA heraldry only. Most are used in both real-world and SCA heraldry. All are presented here as an aid to heraldic research and education. A LA CUISSE, A LA QUISE - at the thigh ABAISED, ABAISSÉ, ABASED - a charge or element depicted lower than its normal position ABATEMENTS - marks of disgrace placed on the shield of an offender of the law. There are extreme few records of such being employed, and then only noted in rolls. (As who would display their device if it had an abatement on it?) ABISME - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ABOUTÉ - end to end ABOVE - an ambiguous term which should be avoided in blazon. Generally, two charges one of which is above the other on the field can be blazoned better as "in pale an X and a Y" or "an A and in chief a B". See atop, ensigned. ABYSS - a minor charge in the center of the shield drawn smaller than usual ACCOLLÉ - (1) two shields side-by-side, sometimes united by their bottom tips overlapping or being connected to each other by their sides; (2) an animal with a crown, collar or other item around its neck; (3) keys, weapons or other implements placed saltirewise behind the shield in a heraldic display.

  • Evidence of Long-Term Gene Flow and Selection During Domestication from Analyses of Eurasian Wild and Domestic Pig Genomes
    ARTICLES Evidence of long-term gene flow and selection during domestication from analyses of Eurasian wild and domestic pig genomes Laurent A F Frantz1,2, Joshua G Schraiber3,4, Ole Madsen1, Hendrik-Jan Megens1, Alex Cagan5, Mirte Bosse1, Yogesh Paudel1, Richard P M A Crooijmans1, Greger Larson2 & Martien A M Groenen1 Traditionally, the process of domestication is assumed to be initiated by humans, involve few individuals and rely on reproductive isolation between wild and domestic forms. We analyzed pig domestication using over 100 genome sequences and tested whether pig domestication followed a traditional linear model or a more complex, reticulate model. We found that the assumptions of traditional models, such as reproductive isolation and strong domestication bottlenecks, are incompatible with the genetic data. In addition, our results show that, despite gene flow, the genomes of domestic pigs have strong signatures of selection at loci that affect behavior and morphology. We argue that recurrent selection for domestic traits likely counteracted the homogenizing effect of gene flow from wild boars and created ‘islands of domestication’ in the genome. Our results have major ramifications for the understanding of animal domestication and suggest that future studies should employ models that do not assume reproductive isolation.

    A Clear Day and No Memories On Kerry Tribe’s HM by Matthew Goulish Enacting Pasts & Presents in Philosophy & Performance Panel of the Performance & Philosophy working group Performance Studies international conference #17: Camillo 2.0. Technology, Memory, Experience Utrecht, 2011 – 1 – In order to begin I must tell a horror story. I will try to mitigate, not minimize, the horror, through accuracy of telling, through facts, and a degree of humility before them. Yet I will also acknowledge the horror. I mean I already have. I say “yet” because horror is not fact, but subjective response to fact. Maybe philosophy has a tradition of such beginning – the telling of the horror if not the acknowledgement. Some forms of understanding issue only from destruction’s revelation. Neurology’s grasp of general brain function, of memory, has advanced through episodes of particular catastrophic failures of individual brains. I mean a self- correction of consciousness arose from a fresh understanding of what memory claims as its own. Anyway that is the story’s redemptive hope. It seems a small hope to take away from the destruction of a life, or a large part of it. But that hope arrived by accident, as well as from an accident. If a way exists to soften the blows that commence in 1935, when a bicyclist collides with 9-year-old Henry who falls and hits his head in Manchester, Connecticut, that way is unknown to me, unknown and undesirable. – 2 – Manchester is in Hartford County, was part of Hartford from its settlement in 1672 until 1783, when East Hartford separated, including Manchester.

  • Hippocampus Kuda Proving… the Homoeopathic Story of the Hippocampus by Shukla Chetna, 1996, India
    The Hippocampus kuda proving… The Homoeopathic Story Of The Hippocampus by Shukla Chetna, 1996, India It was a unique experience for me to experience the behavior/disposition of the Hippocampus fish (the Sea-horse) through this proving done in 1996. I never planned it like that, it just happened. In this experience one objection can be raised that the provers never took the dose orally. This exercise was done to verify aphorism 284 of the Organon Of Medicine, 6 th edition… §284 “Besides the tongue, mouth and stomach, which are most commonly affected by the administration of medicine, the nose and the respiratory organs are receptive of the action of the medicines in fluid form by means of olfaction and inhalation through mouth. But the whole remaining skin of the body clothed with the epidermis, is adapted to the action of medicinal solutions, especially if the inunction is connected with the simultaneous internal administration .” What are important in any proving is the sensitivity and the inherent capacity of the provers to feel the substance in their being and their ability to express the same. As I understand nothing happens without a cause, and I feel and therefore say that the participants were destined to experience this energy in their being and their contribution of this experience must not be underestimated for want of logic. Two things are needed according to the aphorism 284, one the contact with the skin and the simultaneous internal administration. In this experimenting with the energy of Sea horse the contact with the epidermis happened during the transferring of the contents of the medicine from one vial to the other.

  • Calontir Heralds Handbook
    Calontir Herald’s Handbook Third Edition [updated 2014] This Page Intentionally Left Blank From the Gold Falcon Principal Herald Greetings to one and all! I would like to thank all those individuals who give of their time and efforts in the service of heraldry for the Kingdom of Calontir and the Society. Whether it’s through an aspect of vocal heraldry (making event announcements, handling camp cries, doing court); field heraldry (calling rounds, directing participants, announcing winners); pageantry (presenting combatants & consorts, helping with display, holding heraldic competitions); book heraldry (creating devices, documenting names, running consulting tables, providing commentary); ceremonial & protocol heraldry (researching period grants, writing scroll text, keeping an Order of Precedence); silent heraldry (assisting those with hearing impairments) or through support of those involved in an aspect of heraldry…the kingdom would not run as smoothly without your endeavors This is the third edition of the Calontir Herald’s Handbook published for both heralds within the kingdom and other individuals interested in the various aspects that the art and science of heraldry takes within the SCA and in Calontir specifically. We hope that all will find this publication to be a valuable resource. As the SCA’s knowledge of heraldry continues to develop there come changes to the standards and policies that heralds need to be aware of. Readers of this handbook will note some changes from previous editions, so whether you are new to heraldry, or are a more experienced herald, please take the time to read through the handbook to acquaint yourself with the material that it contains.
