According to the Neurobiology of Human Attachments Model, the dopamine and oxytocin systems mediate how we express and experience love and affection. I’ll be covering the neuroscience of love in an upcoming issue of ZAGROSCIENCE. zagroscience.substack.com

How does the human brain instantiate love? Find out by reader/listening to my latest article zagroscience.substack.com

2 months on Substack, ~100 subscribers, and an appearance on the list of top 100 rising scientific newsletters - ZAGROSCIENCE brings you weekly neuroscientific content that explores the brain as the nexus of human experience, culture, and thought. zagroscience.substack.com

Moments before death, does the brain become silent or loud? I'll explore this theme in the upcoming issue of ZAGROSCIENCE (zagroscience.substack.com). This will have huge ramifications for science, metaphysics, and religion. Stay tuned for more...

In this piece, I explore the neural correlates of the dying brain. zagroscience.substack.com/p/echoes-of-a-…

I’m happy to share that I’ll be giving a talk on human relational memory at the international inauguration of the Hojan Science Forum next month at the University of Ottawa.

Another instalment of ZAGROSCIENCE where I explore the neural correlates of near-death experiences: zagroscience.substack.com/p/echoes-of-a-…

Consciousness is how the universe is made aware of its own existence.

Neural correlates of consciousness (NCCs) represent a core concept in the neuroscience of consciousness. NCCs are the minimal mechanisms required for any one specific subjective experience. The TPO "hot zone" has been suggested as a prime candidate for the location of NCCs.

Bi-stable stimuli are a window into the contents of consciousness. Subjects can report on which of two configurations they perceive (lower-left or upper-right square in front) while parallel neuroimaging can allow to distinguish associated neural markers.

Non-reductionists see consciousness as a fundamental property of reality, but even the most ardent among them must acknowledge the importance of the brain in sustaining consciousness: an injury to your shoulder will not affect your mind, but an injury to your brain will.

I’m cooking up something special for my upcoming talk on memory and consciousness at the international inauguration of the Hojan Science Forum, which will be held in August at the University of Ottawa.

In my latest article, "From atoms to qualia," I explore the holy grail of neuroscience: consciousness. zagroscience.substack.com/p/from-atoms-t…

In 2.5 months, ZAGROSCIENCE has reached 450+ subscribers. It’s not hype, it’s neuroscience! zagroscience.substack.com

I’ve been asked what the logo of ZAGROSCIENCE represents… 1 - brain: neuroscience 2- interconnected dots orbiting the brain: graph theory 3 - mountains: Zagros mountains of Kurdistan

My last article garnered over 1,000 reads. I'm hoping to keep this trend going with my latest, "Harvest of Reality: The Cortical Organization of Belief." zagroscience.substack.com/p/harvest-of-r…

"With the guiding star of converging evidence and the course correction routine of belief revision, a deontological quest for the truth will continue to sustain our existence with the harvest of reality." zagroscience.substack.com/p/harvest-of-r…

For the 2nd time since its launch <3 months ago, ZAGROSCIENCE (zagroscience.substack.com) is back on the top 100 rising science platforms on Substack at #28.

3 months on Substack, 4 appearances on the top 100 science platforms: #76, #28, #61, and currently at #31! zagroscience.substack.com

I’ll be done with my article on neural connectomics today, just in time to publish for tomorrow (Sunday). It’s a tad bit on the technical side, but just as colourful as any other article in the ZAGROSCIENCE library: zagroscience.substack.com
