Worry create memories of things that never happened
now have an explanation scientific heeding the advice or at least try. And to try to ignore that extended sleep to fall on stage before receiving an award, the title of graduation, or the one in which one forgets even his name before an exam ...
And is that studies conducted at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA) indicate that the act of anticipating or from worrying about something that's going to happen makes this experience is recorded in the brain with the same intensity a real negative memory even before it happens.
More to the point: that simply because you are worrying about the risk of turning this apprehension un recuerdo de un hecho que todavía no pasó.
De acuerdo con un ensayo publicado en la reconocida revista Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , cuando algo le preocupa a una persona se activa un circuito del miedo que amplifica el temor a volar o a hablar en público y condiciona así el comportamiento futuro de dicha persona.
Kristen Mackiewicz, cabeza del equipo que realizó la investigación científica analizando qué sucedía en el cerebro de voluntarios por medio de técnicas de resonancia magnética, explicó que el estudio se hizo para tratar de entender más y mejor la formación de recuerdos en casos de estres postraumático y aplicar tratamientos más appropriate.
all know from experience that the more emotionally disturbing events, such as an assault, accident or death of a loved one, are marked in memory with much greater depth than current events.
was studying this phenomenon, the researchers found that the act of anticipating a distressing situation, feared or clearly bad can activate two brain regions associated with memory formation, even before this situation arises.
A person who is afraid of public speaking on a plane or feel anxiety whenever you are faced with these situations. According to the results of Wisconsin-Madison, the more time you spend thinking about these situations someone or future potential, the stronger your brain will be recorded in this event, bringing more fear and apprehension and concern the individual feel the next time have to exhibit in public or boarding an airplane.
So the anticipation of a distressing situation starts in the brain circuitry of fear at the same time, helps to reinforce old memories and emphasizes the depth of the new recording.
The researchers hope that, to discover which brain regions are involved in this reaction, people who suffer some type of post-traumatic stress disorder are not continually invaded by memories of terrible events that never actually occurred.
Knowing where there is such a fixation brain could turn that negative hyper response, eliminating the propensity for these people remember negative memories so easily.
This solution can be applied especially in the case of disorders of post-traumatic stress and social anxiety, which often occur in those who suffer unpleasant intrusive memories or flashbacks in time, generating a cyclic recall of traumatic events.
