🧠 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 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 Political Violence These extreme acts – from attacks on institutions to online hate speech – are not only social, but also cerebral. Neuroscience reveals how the brain processes radical ideologies and violent impulses, offering clues to prevention and mitigation.Understanding this intersection between biology and ideology is essential to building societies that are more resilient to extremism.

🧠 Reducing Conflict In October 2025, the world simmers with conflicts beyond headlines. These global events ripple into our lives: heated work debates on economic impacts, family arguments over political news, or X threads turning toxic. But neuroscience offers practical techniques to transform these moments into constructive dialogue.

🧠 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

💡 Applying Neuroscience in Work: 5 Tips to Improve Your Performance If you think that neuroscience is thing of laboratory, think again! It can be a tool powerful for the day to day in work, helping you to prepare for challenges, maintain the focus and elevate your productivity. Based in concepts as neuroplasticity, attention selective and activation cerebral – tips that focus in the individual without depend of teams or environments collectives.

🧠 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 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? 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? 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.

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.

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.

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.

💼How Neuroscience Can Transform the Way You Work The world of work has changed. The rush, constant distractions, mental exhaustion and increasingly hybrid and technological models demand a new way of thinking — and, above all, a new way of acting. That's where neuroscience comes in. By understanding how your brain works, you can make smarter decisions, preserve your mental health, and improve your performance. It's not about working more, but about working better .

Learn how neuroscience explains empathy, leadership and influence - and how your brain can help you build better human connections and lead with purpose.
