BRAIN AND INVENTED REALITY: How the Brain Distinguishes the Real from the Artificial (or not)
Brain and Invented Reality
We live in the era of overlapping realities.
Between what is seen, what is edited, and what is invented, the human brain is being forced to do something it was never designed for: to distinguish the real from the artificial.
After all, the brain wasn’t born for deepfakes, AI filters, or mixed realities.
Neuroscience is showing that separating the false from the convincing isn’t easy.
And that, in practice, the mind doesn’t seek truth — it seek

WHAT ARE NEUROTRANSMITTERS? The Brain's Chemical Alphabet
When we think about how the brain works, it is common to imagine a network of billions of neurons firing electrical signals. But in fact, this network does not communicate only with electricity. Between one neuron and another there is a microscopic space — the synaptic cleft — and this is where one of the most fascinating and fundamental components of neuroscience comes into play: neurotransmitters.
