Emotions are conceptsConsider your brain for a moment. It’s sitting there in your skull, receiving all sorts of data from your eyes, ears, nose, skin, and mouth. This data is informative, but also ambiguous. It has to be interpreted.For example, it might think:What is that rectangular source of light with changing patterns of color? A window!<ol><li>Emotions are not hard-wired</li><li>Emotions are predictions</li><li>Although emotions are generated from within, they don’t stop there.

How Emotions Are Made: The Theory of Constructed Emotion - Forte Labs

According to Maslow, we have five categories of needs: physiological, safety, love, esteem, and self-actualization.Higher needs in the hierarchy emerge when people feel they have sufficiently satisfied the previous need.1. Physiological: Basic physical needs like drinking when thirsty or eating when hungry.2. Safety: a safe environment.3. Love: Involves feeling loved and accepted in romantic relationships as well as ties to friends and family members.4. Esteem: the desire to feel good about ourselves.5. Self-Actualization: feeling fulfilled, feeling that we are living up to our potential.

Real Motivation Comes From Real Needs

Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory puts forward that people are motivated by five basic categories of needs.

Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Explained

Plasticity is the ability of the brain to change. Capacity of neurons and neural networks in the brain to change their connections and behaviour in response to new information, sensory stimulation, development, damage or dysfunction.Of course, the brain is made up of about 100 billion neurons, each with thousands of synapses.The organisation of these connections encodes your beliefs, memories, habits, behaviours, and more. From birth, this organisation constantly changes – the exciting aspect of this is that we can purposefully change our neural organisation through directed effort.

What is Neuroplasticity? 

When new neurons are born from stem cells within the brain, which can then form new circuits. Neurogenesis surprisingly only happens in a few areas in the brain. One area is the hippocampus which needs a lot of new neurons because it encodes new memories. Another area is the olfactory bulb, which allows us to sense smells.Contrast this with the prefrontal cortex. Sitting at the front of your brain, the prefrontal cortex is what performs high level abstraction and ‘smart’ thinking. Interestingly, the prefrontal cortex is not capable of neurogenesis.

enigmatic artifacts&nbsp;from the Viking ‘amulet factory’ found in Denmark, England and Russia. They date back 1000+ years, to the height of the Viking Age.“The images had always been understood in terms of what we know of Norse mythology,” says Deckers, an archaeologist at the Free University of Brussels.Deckers argues that the “Valkyrie” pendants represent actual women who played a central role in Viking festivals or ceremonies. Furthermore, they propose 'armed female figurines are part of a larger set of ritual objects that suggest gender roles in Viking-era Europe may have been complex'.

Rethink the mysterious artefacts

Archaeologists long assumed Valkyrie figurines represented Norse mythical beings. A new study of how and where they were made challenges that.
