Hirnforschung 3: F.A.Z.-Dossier, Hörbuch, Digital, 129min
Die Mittel und Wege, das Gehirn zu höheren Leistungen anzutreiben, sind zahlreich. Sie reichen von allenfalls wirkungslosem "Brain Food" über Meditation und "Gehirnjogging" bis zu Medikamenten wie Prozac und Ritalin. Hören Sie im dritten Teil der Reihe "Hirnforschung" spannende Beiträge über die verschiedenen Formen des Hirndopings. Wie sich pharmazeutisches Hirnforschung langfristig auswirkt, ist in den meisten Fällen noch nicht geklärt. Dass Meditation sich auf Emotionen und die Steuerung der Aufmerksamkeit auswirkt, zeigt der Hirnforscher Wolf Singer in seinem interessanten Beitrag. Wir zeigen außerdem, warum Konkurrenz und Leistungsprämien ein wahres Feuerwerk im Belohnungszentrum des Gehirns auslösen und erläutern Sinn und Unsinn des Homo-economicus-Modells. Auch die Mythen vom "hirngerechten Lernen" und Neuro-Enhancement werden genauer unter die Lupe genommen. Wir klären, ob mathematisches Zahlenverständnis zur Grundausstattung des Menschen gehört und verfolgen die erstaunliche Karriere der Gliazellen vom "Trüben Nebel" zum unentbehrlichen Partner der Nervenzellen. deutsch.

Oriental Girls Desire Romance , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 615min
It's 1980s New York, and though the coke flows freely, money and glamour are the more powerful intoxicants. While fortunes are being made in SoHo galleries and on Wall Street, an underclass of transient drag queens and dandies, club kids and strippers, artists and actors, models and waitstaff wander the streets, providing the city's background color, cheap labor, and even cheaper entertainment. The unnamed narrator of Catherine Liu's 1997 novel Oriental Girls Desire Romance - now reprinted by Kaya Press - is a young Chinese-American woman who skirts the edges of New York privilege. A refugee both from her Ivy League education and a family of Maoist ideologues, she navigates the city as a slacker, temp, and exotic dancer, outmaneuvering the ever-present lure of Prozac. Liu's debut novel recalls the seedy street atmosphere of Bette Gordon's 1984 film Variety through a narrator that is perceptive, funny, and unhinged. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Tropical Depression: Key West Capers, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 557min
When Murray Zemelman, a.k.a. The Bra King, pops another Prozac and heads to the Keys, he has nothing much in mind beyond a quixotic hope of winning back his first wife, Franny, whom he dumped years before. But when he forms an unlikely friendship with Tommy Tarpon, the last remaining member of an obscure Indian tribe, another plan also starts shaping up in his fevered brain. Why not open up Key West's first casino? Why not? Well, how about because the Mafia, in league with some of the nastiest politicians you will ever meet, is determined to kill anyone who tries? Somehow, Murray, Tommy, and Franny didn't think of that until they were in way too deep. Laugh along as they improvise a manic and ever more desperate campaign to keep their casino dreams - and themselves - alive. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jem Matzan.

The Drug Hunters: The Improbable Quest to Discover New Medicines , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 455min
The search to find medicines is as old as disease, which is to say as old as the human race. Through serendipity - by chewing, brewing, and snorting - some Neolithic souls discovered opium, alcohol, snakeroot, juniper, frankincense, and other helpful substances. Ötzi the Iceman, the 5,000-year-old hunter frozen in the Italian Alps, was found to have whipworms in his intestines and Bronze Age medicine, a worm-killing birch fungus, knotted to his leggings. Nowadays Big Pharma conglomerates spend billions of dollars on state-of-the art laboratories staffed by PhDs to discover blockbuster drugs. Yet despite our best efforts to engineer cures, luck, trial and error, risk, and ingenuity are still fundamental to medical discovery. The Drug Hunters is a colorful, fact-filled narrative history of the search for new medicines from our Neolithic forebears to the professionals of today and from quinine and aspirin to Viagra, Prozac, and Lipitor. ungekürzt.

Blue Dreams , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 813min
A groundbreaking and revelatory history of our major psychotropic drugs, from "a thoroughly exhilarating and entertaining writer." (Washington Post). Although one in five Americans now takes at least one psychotropic drug, the fact remains that nearly 70 years after doctors first began prescribing them, we still don't know exactly how or why these drugs work - or don't work - on what ails our brains. Blue Dreams offers the explosive story of the discovery, invention, people, and science behind our licensed narcotics, as told by a riveting writer and psychologist who shares her own intimate experience with the highs and lows of psychiatry's drugs. Lauren Slater's account ranges from the earliest, Thorazine and lithium, up through Prozac and other antidepressants, as well as Ecstasy, "magic mushrooms", the most cutting-edge memory drugs, and even neural implants. Along the way, she narrates the history of psychiatry itself, illuminating the imprint its colorful little capsules have left on millions of brains worldwide, and demonstrating how these wonder drugs may heal us or hurt us. ungekürzt.
