my favorite superhero

Professor X

Charles Xavier is a very powerful mutant, his mutant power is to read, control and influence the minds of others humans or mutants. When he increased his powers he lost the ability to walk.




He created an institute for young mutants, where the goal was to explore, control their powers and learn stuffs in peace.

Xavier's best friend was a Magnet, but then he transformed into his worst enemy and is for this reason why they fight a lot, but they respect each other. The conflict is start because Magnet believes that mutants are superior to humans and should dominate and exterminate mankind.

I like this superhero because he has powers, mainly to read and control the mind, as well change or erase memories. I think it's a great power.

Finally the values it represents and that are important to me is the respect for others, especially the respect for other races.

Journal of neurology

Journal of neurology
The journal of neorology has many topics in common with the psychology, in fact the connection is neuropsychology. The neuropsychology is a discipline between psychology and neurology.
Neuropsychology
Studies the effects of lesions or damages on the central nervous system (CNS) over the cognitive, psychological, emotional processes and individual behavior. These effects or deficits can be caused by TEC, brain tumors, neurodegenerative diseases (as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson's disease) or developmental diseases (as epilepsy or attention).
Here is a link with a lot of interesting information about this topic

This website has different papers about many topics, for example: sleep, dementia, pain or alteration of consciousness. I visit this website one a week, I like reading about different issues about neurology. For example I enjoy the paper “The personality affects brain aging” in which the author make associations between different variables, specifically between personality and brain aging.
There is another paper called “a brief cognitive test battery to differentiate Alzheimer´s disease and frontotemporal dementia” in which the author compare two test: “addenbrooke´s cognitive examination” (which is used for exclude frontotemporal dementia) and “Dementia rating scale” (which is used in the diagnostic of Alzheimer´s disease).
