Aunque es bastante evidente que las consecuencias son importantes ( dónde estaríamos sin el reforzamiento positivo?), pocos saben que existe una ciencia de las consecuencias con principios que nos afectan cada día. A pesar de su variedad, las consecuencias parecen seguir un conjunto común de principios científicos y comparten algunos efectos comunes en el cerebro, por ejemplo, en los llamados \"centros de placer\". El sistema genética-ambiente siempre opera de forma integrada, y los científicos han demostrado que aprender de las consecuencias activa de manera predecible los genes y reestructura nuestro cerebro. Las aplicaciones posibles de esta ciencia de las consecuencias están en todas partes, en el hogar, en el trabajo y en el ámbito escolar, por mencionar algunos ejemplos. A nivel individual y social, por ejemplo, el autocontrol se enfrenta a menudo a las consecuencias a corto y largo plazo. Después de diez años de trabajo, \"La Ciencia de las Consecuencias\" narra una historia que abarca desde la genética hasta los neurotransmisores, desde la emoción hasta el lenguaje, desde la educación infantil hasta la política, adoptando un enfoque interdisciplinario inclusivo para mostrar cómo algo tan aparentemente simple puede ayudar a dar sentido a tantas cosas. Este título ha recibido numerosos elogios de expertos reconocidos en genética, neurociencia y economía, así como en psicología, análisis de conducta y entrenamiento animal en medios como Nature, The Scientist y Science News.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 8409498189\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9788409498185\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Schneider, Susan, Macías Morón, Juan Jose, Virues-Ortega, Javier\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: ABA Espana\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ABA Espana","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Aug 2023)","offer_id":45658647232709,"sku":"9788409498185","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9788409498185.jpg?v=1768902120"},{"product_id":"molecules-of-emotion-why-you-feel-the-way-you-feel","title":"Molecules of Emotion: Why You Feel the Way You Feel","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe bestselling and revolutionary book that serves as a \"landmark in our understanding of the mind-body connection\" (Deepak Chopra, MD).\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhy do we feel the way we feel?

In captivity, octopuses have been known to identify individual human keepers, raid neighboring tanks for food, turn off lightbulbs by spouting jets of water, plug drains, and make daring escapes. How is it that a creature with such gifts evolved through an evolutionary lineage so radically distant from our own? What does it mean that evolution built minds not once but at least twice? The octopus is the closest we will come to meeting an intelligent alien.

As Godfrey-Smith stresses, it is a story that largely occurs in the ocean, where animals first appeared. Tracking the mind's fitful development, Godfrey-Smith shows how unruly clumps of seaborne cells began living together and became capable of sensing, acting, and signaling. As these primitive organisms became more entangled with others, they grew more complicated. The first nervous systems evolved, probably in ancient relatives of jellyfish; later on, the cephalopods, which began as inconspicuous mollusks, abandoned their shells and rose above the ocean floor, searching for prey and acquiring the greater intelligence needed to do so. Taking an independent route, mammals and birds later began their own evolutionary journeys. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut what kind of intelligence do cephalopods possess? Drawing on the latest scientific research and his own scuba-diving adventures, Godfrey-Smith probes the many mysteries that surround the lineage. How did the octopus, a solitary creature with little social life, become so smart? What is it like to have eight tentacles that are so packed with neurons that they virtually \"think for themselves\"? What happens when some octopuses abandon their hermit-like ways and congregate, as they do in a unique location off the coast of Australia? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy tracing the question of inner life back to its roots and comparing human beings with our most remarkable animal relatives, Godfrey-Smith casts crucial new light on the octopus mind--and on our own.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0374537194\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780374537197\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Godfrey-Smith, Peter\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Oct 2017)","offer_id":46080382795973,"sku":"9780374537197","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780374537197.jpg?v=1776036759"},{"product_id":"this-is-your-brain-on-food-an-indispensable-guide-to-the-surprising-foods-that-fight-depression-anxiety-ptsd-ocd-adhd-and-more","title":"This Is Your Brain on Food: An Indispensable Guide to the Surprising Foods That Fight Depression, Anxiety, Ptsd, Ocd, Adhd, and More","description":"\u003cb\u003eNATIONAL BESTSELLER \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Eat for your mental health and learn the fascinating science behind nutrition with this \"must-read\" guide from an expert psychiatrist (Amy Myers, MD). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Did you know that blueberries can help you cope with the aftereffects of trauma?

Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep.

Now, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker gives us a new understanding of the vital importance of sleep and dreaming. Within the brain, sleep enriches our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions. It recalibrates our emotions, restocks our immune system, fine-tunes our metabolism, and regulates our appetite. Dreaming mollifies painful memories and creates a virtual reality space in which the brain melds past and present knowledge to inspire creativity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Walker answers important questions about sleep: how do caffeine and alcohol affect sleep? What really happens during REM sleep? Why do our sleep patterns change across a lifetime? How do common sleep aids affect us and can they do long-term damage? Charting cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, and synthesizing decades of research and clinical practice, Walker explains how we can harness sleep to improve learning, mood, and energy levels; regulate hormones; prevent cancer, Alzheimer's, and diabetes; slow the effects of aging; increase longevity; enhance the education and lifespan of our children, and boost the efficiency, success, and productivity of our businesses.

From there, it moves into the possibility of reshaping this neural structure through the power of will--where breathing emerges as a key tool. Breath becomes a bridge between the outer and inner worlds, between who we are and who we believe ourselves to be. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy following the anatomical traces each inhalation and exhalation leave on the brain, Castellanos outlines the neural foundations for self-encounter. In a masterful blend of humanism, science, and personal insight, she shares a variety of breathing techniques designed to strengthen specific regions of the brain--methods that support mental health and ultimately guide us toward a deeper connection with our own identity.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 8466381872\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9788466381871\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Castellanos, Nazareth\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Debolsillo\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Debolsillo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Nov 2025)","offer_id":46081838088389,"sku":"9788466381871","price":20.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9788466381871.jpg?v=1776049843"},{"product_id":"living-well-with-epilepsy-and-other-seizure-disorders-an-expert-explains-what-you-really-need-to-know","title":"Living Well with Epilepsy and Other Seizure Disorders: An Expert Explains What You Really Need to Know","description":"\u003cp\u003eTreatment options, lifestyle strategies, and emotional support for two million Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEpilepsy, once mistakenly associated with demonic possession, has for centuries been a poorly understood illness.

Mind and body are interrelated, and we are designed for healthy relationships of love and trust. When we understand God as good and loving, we flourish. Unfortunately, many of us have distorted images of God and mostly think of him in fearful, punitive ways. This leads us into unhealthy patterns of self-defeating behaviors and toxic relationships. But our lives can change when God renews our minds with a truer picture of him.Psychiatrist Tim Jennings unveils how our brains and bodies thrive when we have a healthy understanding of who God is. He dispels common misconceptions about God and shows how different God concepts affect the brain differently. Our brains can adapt, change and rewire with redeemed thinking that frees us from unnecessary pain and suffering.
