I am curious to learn more about the neural mechanisms underlying empathy and compassion. Specifically, could you please elaborate on the role of mirror neurons and other key brain regions in facilitating these prosocial behaviors, and how their interplay contributes to the development and expression of empathy and compassion in human beings? Any insights on how we can cultivate these qualities through targeted tools would be highly appreciated, in particular in the context of parenting: what can young parents do to ensure the next generation of humains will have more empathy than the previous one? Also keen to hear whether "older" humans can also develop empathy later in life, and how.
After a soccer match/training i'm almost always extremely exhausted. My style of playing is powerful - a lot of sprints etc - so i guess it's heavy on my cns. What can i do besides focusing on downregulated breathing, sleep, protein and eletrolyte ingestion? I will try rhodiola rosea soon, but can you maybe explain to me possible mechanisms and ''solutions''?
