Just a few random words that everyone should know to make the world better:
Cognition- This happens in a Machine, when one small gear spins, and that small gear spinning pushes a bigger gear, and that big gear pushes 3 smaller gears. That activity that is happening is called "Cognition", and it also happens in your brain. Someone might tell you something, and it makes you think of something else, and then suddenly a question you had a month ago is answered. That is cognition. "Recognizing" someone is a function of Cognition.
Neuroplasticity- This is when your brain gets used to something. A good example is when you are learning your times tables in like 3rd grade. They don't just give you a chart that shows how multiplication works and say "there", they make you do different multiplication problems so that it sticks in your head, and they ask you over and over, things like "What is 1 times 0?" so you know that anything times 0 is 0. That is Neruoplasticity.
Neurogeneration- It was long thought that "If you lose brain cells, you don't get new ones" but this has since been proven false. You CAN get new brain cells via Neurogenesis, and there are things that are known to promote Neurogenesis, like Marijuana and Ketamine or MXE.
Endocannabinoids- Your body has Cannabinoids inside of it, the same exact Cannabinoids can be found in Sea Urchin eggs aka Sea Urchin Roe.
Cannabinoid Reuptake Inhibitor- Works like modern Anti-Depressants, but instead of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibition, it is Cannabinoid reuptake inhibition. Meaning that your body uses ALL of its endocannabinoids and does not let any go into the blood stream to be sent out as waste.
Research Chemical- Something that has no one has discovered a medical use for yet, but it is in a known class of chemicals that effect the brain. Clinical testing on these gets done every once in a while, but most of the research is done by independent researchers who use themselves as guinea pigs. LSD would be an example of this, except it has now been turned into a scheduled drug. Most drugs that become popular recreationally before they find a medical use, become illegal.
