Reducing Background Anxiety Increases Mental Clarity: Here’s How

Healthy Mindframe, Intuitive Medicine, Medical Reports / By Laura Koniver, MD

Recently published in the Journal Of Neuroscience (June 2015) researchers looked at the role of norepinephrine in songbirds to determine what effect it has on stimuli detection and processing.

Proof that the more you are self motivated to learn something the more you will remember it: A new study, published October 2, 2014 in Neuron, found that having INTRINSIC MOTIVATION in the form of curiosity, not only allows you to enhance your learning of key information but also of non-crucial, incidental information presented at the same time. In other words, being curious about learning something enhances your absorption and ability to master the information you were curious to learn AND even non-related information alongside it.
