NEUROSCIENCE OF SELF-AWARENESS: How to Acess the Deep Layers of the Mind
🧠 Neuroscience of Self-Knowledge
We live in an era in which self-knowledge has almost become a modern ritual — from psychedelic therapies to silent retreats, from meditation to long conversations in search of meaning.
But, in the end, what are we really looking for?
Neuroscience shows that the human brain already possesses natural mechanisms of consciousness expansion, and that exploring one’s own mind does not require escaping it — but rather turning inward with curiosit

DEALING WITH COLLECTIVE SHOCKS: How Neuroscience Help Us Process Traumatic Events
🧠 Dealing with Collective Shocks
Wars, attacks, natural disasters, massacres or tragedies that dominate the headlines — all these episodes leave marks that go beyond statistics. They reach something deeper: the collective nervous system.When the world seems to collapse, the brain reacts as if danger were right at the door. And even those who have not experienced the event directly can feel the effects — anxiety, anger, apathy, confusion.

NEUROSCIENCE OF POLARIZATION: How The Brain Reinforces Political Division
🧠 Neuroscience of Polarization: how the brain reinforces political divisions
Have you noticed how the world seems more divided than ever? In Brazil, the trial of Bolsonaro for attempted coup has supporters and opponents almost going at each other’s throats.
Did you know the culprit behind all this might be in your head? But hold on—neuroscience explains how our brain pushes us toward these political divisions—and how they show up in the tensions of 2025. Let’s unpack th

NEUROETHICS: The Dilemmas of Brain Science
🧠 Neuroethics: The Dilemmas of Brain Science
The human brain is the most complex organ we know. Studying how it works has brought us extraordinary advances — from treatments for neurological diseases to technologies that allow us to control machines with thought. But, along with progress, dilemmas also arise: how far can we (or should we) go when we talk about manipulating, improving, or even “reading” the human brain?

NEUROSCIENCE OF LEADERSHIP: How the Brain Shapes Decisions, Empathy, and Stress
💡 Neuroscience of Leadership: How the Brain Shapes Decisions, Empathy, and Stress
If you think leadership is only about strategy, spreadsheets, and goals, it’s time to look up — literally — and focus on the brain.
Remember when I said the brain is a social organ? And that a leader, more than anyone in a company, is in the spotlight and needs enough emotional intelligence to sustain themselves and influence those around them?

WHAT DOES SCIENCE SAY ABOUT INTUITION?
🧠 What does science say about intuition?
Intuition is a word that sparks curiosity. It is often called the “sixth sense,” associated with hunches or that inner voice that seems to guide us in certain situations. However, far from being something mystical or supernatural, science shows that intuition is a real process of the human brain — fast, unconscious, and strongly based on our life experience.

HOW CAN YOU USE YOUR BRAIN TO MAKE BETTER DECISIONS?
🧠 How can you use your brain to make better decisions?
Every day we make decisions. From the simplest ones, like choosing what to eat for breakfast, to the most complex, like changing jobs or investing in a project. But do we always make the best decisions? Neuroscience shows that the brain has specific mechanisms for decision-making — and that knowing these mechanisms can help you choose better.

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.

NEUROSCIENCE OF EMPATHY AND COMMUNICATION: How to Better Understand Others
Empathy and communication are two fundamental pillars of human life. At work, in personal relationships, or even in the way we learn, the ability to understand and to be understood makes all the difference.
Brain science shows that both empathy and communication are not just “social skills,” but functions deeply rooted in our nervous system. Understanding how they work helps transform the way we relate to each other and strengthen more genuine connections.

GENERATIONS AND THE BRAIN: How We Think Differently
We live in a world where generations coexist side by side — from Baby Boomers to Millennials, from Generation Z to Alpha. Each one brings with it different ways of thinking, learning, and relating to the world. But does each generation’s brain really work differently?
The answer lies in neuroscience: the human brain is highly plastic, meaning it shapes itself according to the experiences and stimuli it receives.
