Mickey Brain Rules
Mice Brain Rule
Did you know that the brain of Mickey Mouse and his family have (all) the same
parts like you and me?
So what? Research on these critters produces knowledge that applies to humans.
Beans. By staying awake and alert, you will learn how to make learning and memory easier and faster.
If you want to double your memory, you have to excite the material you
you want to internalize for long-term memory. If you are bored or placid while
learning, nothing happens without OverLearning (massive repetition and constant self-evaluation).
If you ask mature citizens where they were on 12.7. 41, and young about
9.11.01, your eyes focus internally and relive the experience of the bombing
Pearl Harbor or the World Trade Center. It was an emotional event for them.
What if you want to remember text material – history – chemistry and mathematics
beginning? Before studying or listening to a lecture on the subject, mentally visualize the personal benefits to you of having this knowledge and study with this feeling.
Imagine all the details of getting promoted to vp and a $10,000 bonus. Make the details vivid, with vivid colors; use exaggeration, humor or some ridiculous scenes.
Activate your Inner Child and its ideas of debauchery and fun and get emotional.
It will store the material in your amygdala and hippocampus for long-term memory easily and permanently.
How? Just pretend you’re a kid again and smile as you learn. Your job is to change your mood and expectations about the text you are studying to something.
exciting, emotional and important. If you can.

The secret
The stress hormone norepinephrine (noradrenaline) is activated when you are excited about an experience. It can be a voluntary or involuntary emotional reaction.
situation. Learn to do it yourself and you will dominate your learning and memory programs forever.
This is what happens – it’s new scientific research – your emotions
release Norepinephrine, strengthening the connections between neurons.
In plain language, emotions affect receptors in your brain. They feed a can of spinach
like Popeye does, to your synapses, the connecting links between neurons.
The more powerful your synapses (nerve connections) and the dendrites of your neurons, the easier it is to create long-term memory and better learning. look if you
remember this rhyme: cells that fire together, connect together (in circuits).
Do you have to go to medical school to understand the functions of your brain? No.
Remember the term LTP (long-term potentiation; increases the strength of
of its nerve (synaptic) connections. LTP comes from an increase in norepinephrine
and it is the cellular basis for all your learning and memory.
Get This: Norepinephrine or Emotional Stress (Real or Virtual Reality)
cause LTP and better learning and memory. You increase the memory function.
The result for Mickey is to remember where he hid the cheese, for you it is
bring out your genius.
PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder)
There are times when you don’t want to remember events and experiences.
Soldiers returning from Iraq experience involuntary activations of their
near-death experiences. It is as real as a heart attack and often as
debilitating
To regain control over your amygdala (emotions) and its storage
(hippocampus), veterans must replace negative mental movies
(intentionally) with positive sights and sounds.
They must learn to dislodge involuntary emotional imaginations and become their own movie director by producing only comedies. The goal is to block norepinephrine.
recapturers of a renaissance of Iraqi battles. Disuse will cause synapses to be lost
the power of original emotional information. desensitization
Your big circuit board
Dr. Richard Huganir of Johns-Hopkins says: Your brain is one big circuit board
where your new experiences are captured and locked into a whole new circuit.
During strong emotions, the hormone norepinephrine sensitizes your synapses.
(nerve junctions) the site where neurons (nerve cells) make an electro-chemical
connection and add new memories to your large circuit board.
einsteins brain
The more folds (gyri) you have in the cerebral cortex (surface),
the greater your cognitive potential. Pleats are nature’s way of adding more
space for learning and memory. Homo sapiens obtained the highest number of folds.
Google: 02.10.07 Neuroscience News, Washington University (St. Louis);
Dr. Larry A. Taber.
Listen to this: autism and forms of dementia seem to originate due to
less than the standard folding of the cerebral cortex. Crust softness
(no folds) is associated with severe retardation.
Albert E had a different folded brain that led to his genius. Some of the standard folds were missing (E’s brain is at Princeton University), allowing the associated areas
with mathematical reasoning to have more space than the standard 3-pound coconut. There is an edge fold to separate the math growth section from its neighboring structure. Not to.
Two terms to remember: Sulcus and Gyrus. Sulci are the furrows and trenches of
the gyri of its cortex, while the gyri are the bulges of the augments. Both add cognitive
space for your intellectual storage. That is why you are smarter than your pets and the Alpha Male or Female. Look, you have a lot in common with Al.
final words
Do you know what stops our original gifts and talents from their potential?
We listen to that inner voice (internal dialogue) that tells us that this is too difficult, or
we are stupid, or this text is not worth learning.
Tell him to shut up and override with your mental effort force (will). If it is
It’s that easy, if you’re serious. Your brain will comply just as your computer does
your programming. How do you know you can’t play the guitar or own your
own successful business, when you have never given it a chance?
Your fears and negative expectations have more control than we think.
Congress never passed a law. You must listen to every spasmodic thing inside you.
Suggest the voice. If your friends jumped off the roof, your momma said it right,
would you follow? Give it a try and you will soon discover that you are capable of learning whole new fields of knowledge.
We suggest that learning to read and remember three (3) books, articles and reports in the time that others can barely finish one, is a valuable asset for professional success.
Ask us how.
See ya,
