Brain Awareness Membership: Sex and Gender

Sex and Gender: First of all, what is the difference between sex (i.e., what we were assigned at birth) and gender? Second, what does "non-binary" mean? We'll cover that too! Behavioural Neuroscientist, Dr. Mandy Wintink, will walk us through the basics of biology to help us understand the difference between sex and gender and why they are biologically not just male vs female or man vs. woman. They are biologically and inherently non-binary!

Brain Awareness Membership: Healthy Technology Habits

Technology is far from benign for any brain, but there are particular concerns associated with the effects of technology use on the developing brain, like those of toddlers, children, and teenagers. Everything from the effects of specific devices (e.g., smart phones, tablets, laptops), the type of content (violence, sexual, gaming, social media), the amount of use, to the time of use is on the research table. Researchers are trying to determine how all of this is affecting the brains, mental health, social development, attention, relationships, emotions, etc. So far, the research is suggesting that we should be very concerned, in ways not previously detected with other technologies (i.e., it's not the same as being on TV or on the phone all day in the 80s or 90s.) Join Dr. Mandy Wintink, Behavioural Neuroscientist, as they share the latest on the research, while also encouraging a non-judgmental environment of problem solving. They believe that a group effort is required to tackle this massive societal problem and working together as parents, grandparents, and all caregivers without judgment is what is needed.

Brain Awareness Membership: Gut Health for Healthy Minds & Brains

The gut-brain axis, as it is known, is the biological connection between the brain and the digestive system. Only in the past decade have neuroscientists really begun to unravel to important role that a healthy gut plays in a growing list of cognitive and neurological conditions, including mental illnesses (Depression, Bipolor Disorder), neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis), and developmental disabilities (e.g., Autism). Much of the research has lead to a deeper understanding of the microbiome, the good bacteria that populate the gut lining and help with a whole host of functions like digestion, detoxifcation, and immune function. It is now clearer than ever that what and how we eat has consequences for how we think, feel, and behave. In this way, a healthy gut can support a healthy minds and brains.

Brain Awareness Membership Discussion 2: Neurodiversity

Neurodiversity: Neurodiversity emerged as a political and societal movement to embrace the experiences associated with Autism as representing a natural and beautiful spectrum of human diversity.

Since then, the term neurodiversity has been picked up to honour the important and valuable differences with other diagnoses like ADHD and Learning Disabilities, among others.

In this online session, Dr. Mandy Wintink will cover the basics of what neurodiversity is and highlight some of the known advantages and benefits of the neurodivergent brain. 

Our monthly live discussions are offered for free until January 2025, at which time they will be available to our Brain Awareness Membership members only. Come join us and find out if this membership is the right fit for you before committing to a paid membership!

Neuropsychoidiology Course & Community

This "course" is a course, but like a self-reflective, personal development course where you are studying neuroscience and psychology through the lens of your own mind, behaviour, emotions, and thoughts, and also through the lens of the author, Mandy Wintink, as she shares her personal experiences in her mind and brain. If self-reflecting on the contents of your mind and brain sounds fun, then this is the course for you. You get exclusive access to content from Mandy's next book on the Theory of Neuropsychoidiology (which is the study of your own mind and brain). The course is complement with optional discussion groups for those who want to participate in that way.
