Minding the Social Brain -Virtual Foundation StoneFor the initiative to fund a decade-long BRAIN ACTIVITY MAP -BAM as in OBAMAA generation of social neuroscientists uses acronyms to identify the structural neural networks revealed in the NIH Human Connectome Project. They know that a medial brain hub of nodal networks, the Default Mode (DM), uses most of the brains activation energy. Responding to the unexpected, it adapts the brains predictive capacity by learning-modifying its own synaptic structure. During syndrome formation in brain damage, depression, traumatic anxiety, or psychosis, the DM maintains familiar mental fantasy and reverie-even when its core networks should be processing new data for adaptive problem-solving. Alzheimers disease decimates all the nodes of this hub.Just as industry alongside government generated our genome code, researchers worldwide in the private sector and government are already exploring how a brains emergent property unifies its mind. Alert to perspectives that determine their future, workers in the social field have to develop their own emergent learning. Dr. Harris here provides a Rosetta Stone for exploring neural networks, mental hubs, mind/brain synthesis-and institutions that externalize these structures. Extending Freuds discovery of a persons dynamic unconscious, he depicts a dynamic social unconscious mediating social, economic, and political policy. From this perspective he presents contemporary and historical social syndromes. Collective PTSD, for instance, manifests in global criminal economies, widespread poverty, media escapism, and political denial.International Psychoanalytic Books (IPBooks.net) and distributor Jason Aronson, Inc. are happy to present this compelling analysis of individual and collective syndromes that have their own emergent sources in both social process and brain process.
