Neuroscience
A series combining scientific rigor with accessible communication to explain how the brain and nervous system work. It connects neural mechanisms to cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes, with a developmental perspective across the lifespan.


From Spearman’s g to the CHC Model: Theoretical Evolution of Intelligence and Contemporary Developments
Article written in collaboration with @mensana.psy Introduction The history of intelligence theories represents a trajectory shaped by theoretical shifts, methodological debates, and continuous attempts at integration. From Charles Spearman’s early factorial models to today’s multilayered frameworks, the concept of intelligence has evolved from a monolithic construct to a dynamic and stratified system. Psychometric and neuroscientific research has progressively shown that cog

Lucid Dreams: Between Awareness, Emotional Regulation, and Scientific Research
Article written in collaboration with @_psicoparole What Are Lucid Dreams Lucid dreams are a phenomenon in which individuals become aware, while dreaming, that the experience they are living is in fact a dream. This particular form of awareness has been described in the scientific literature as a hybrid state combining cognitive processes typical of wakefulness with the vivid imagery of REM sleep. The first systematic experimental work on lucidity dates back to Stephen LaBerg

Brain Development: A Deepened Overview
Brain development is a lifelong, dynamic process shaped by the interaction of genetic programs, cellular mechanisms, environmental experiences, and structural constraints of the nervous system. Stiles and Jernigan (2010) emphasize that development is not linear—it is a sequence of overlapping, interdependent processes that unfold at different rates across brain regions. Below is a deeper, more comprehensive explanation of these processes. Prenatal Foundations of Brain Develop

Why Do We Dream? A Journey Through Theory and Neuroscience
Why Do We Dream? A Journey Through Theory and NeuroscienceDreams have fascinated humanity for centuries, occupying a space somewhere between mystery and science. From ancient rituals to psychoanalytic case studies and now advanced neuroimaging, the question remains: Why do we dream, and how does the dreaming mind actually work? Psychologists and neuroscientists approach these questions from different vantage points, but their perspectives increasingly intersect. This post exp

The Development of the Human Brain: From Prenatal Beginnings to Early Adulthood
The human brain is widely regarded as one of the most intricate and dynamic structures in biology. Far from being a static organ, its development is a prolonged, carefully orchestrated process that begins before birth and continues into the mid-20s. This trajectory not only illuminates how typical cognitive and emotional functioning arises but also sheds light on the origins of psychological and neurological disorders. By tracing the stages of brain development, researchers a

Neuroplasticity: How the Brain Adapts and Changes
The Power of Neuroplasticity: How the Brain Rewires Itself When most people think about the brain, they often imagine it as a static machine — like a computer, programmed once and for all. For centuries, scientists shared a similar belief: after childhood development, the brain’s structure and functions were considered largely fixed (Doidge, 2007). However, advances in neuroscience have challenged this assumption. Today, researchers recognize that the brain is not rigid but i
