Neuroscience of Success.

What is Neuroscience? How does it relate to our living successfully?

The human body is a fantastic construct designed to be a container that bears life as ordained by God. Its workings are delicate and are seen in the coming together of many functions represented as faculties, each of which meets at a juncture that describes a collaborative relationship. One of those faculties is the central nervous system (CNS).

The central nervous system (CNS) comprises the brain and spinal cord. The three broad functions of the CNS are taking in sensory information, processing information, and sending out motor signals.

The CNS receives sensory information from the nervous system and controls the body's responses. The central nervous system primarily receives information from various body areas and coordinates this activity to produce the body's responses.

Our success at living purposefully and succeeding is primarily a function of how we manage our central nervous system and optimize its workings.

The summary above clearly points to what neuroscience is all about; any or all of the sciences, such as neurochemistry and experimental psychology, which deal with the structure or function of the nervous system and brain.

In this episode of the word café, we are so pleased to talk about this and honored to have an award-winning neuroscientist, Niyi Borire, to drive this conversation.

Niyi Borire is the Director, Southwest Neurology, Consultant Neurologist, NeuroLeadership Expert, Executive Coach, Trainer, and Keynote Speaker

He is a neurologist with a subspeciality interest in nerve and muscle disorders such as nerve injury and entrapment, neuropathy, myopathy and neurodegenerative disease. He is actively involved in research that aims to develop novel biomarkers for the early diagnosis and prevention of peripheral nerve disorders.

 His research has been awarded the 2015 Jim McLeod Young Investigator Award (of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Neurologists Annual), the 2016 Tow Coast Association Research Early Career Awards (from the Prince of Wales Hospital), and the 2017 Golseth Young Investigator Award (presented by the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine).

 Dr. Borire is also a Conjoint Lecturer in medicine at UNSW and is involved with undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. He has published numerous scientific articles and regularly presents at local and international conferences in the field of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine.
