This kind of pain does not allow people to sleep, let alone women in this condition. However, what causes these headaches? Several factors are responsible for this, for example, the center of gravity of a pregnant woman is gradually moved forward causing his posture change, and of course, because the baby is extra weight your back must support. The good news is that these problems can be solved with a cervical pillow.

The Better Sleep Pillow is a good example of back problems pillow or lumbar support because it has been designed so that they can mold to the head, neck and shoulders of a person, giving pregnant women in this case an alignment of perfect back overnight. This is useful because doctors recommend these women instead of sleeping on your back to change their posture and sleep on your side to make sure your back is better aligned, which is difficult to achieve with a regular pillow. But the Better Sleep Pillow with memory foam is perfect for people who like to sleep on your side or have to, because its heat-sensitive foam reacts to pressure and the body of a person and molds to the shape of this.

synchronization memoryWhen a person is relaxed and memory-related neurons in the brain are activated in synchronization with certain brain waves, is likely to form strong and lasting memories, scientists said on Wednesday.

U.S. researchers said their findings could help in developing new therapies for people with learning disabilities and some types of dementia.

“This study establishes a direct link between events in the brain circuitry (…) and its effects on human behavior,” said Eli Rutishauser, the California Institute of Technology, who worked on the study.

The timing of the brain is influenced by “theta waves” which are associated with relaxation, reverie, and dizziness with learning and memory formation, the scientists said the study published in the journal Nature.

Although scientists know that the best minds are relaxed new information, the study pointed to a new mechanism through which neurons of relaxation work together to improve memory.

“Our research shows that when memory-related neurons are well coordinated with theta waves during the learning process, the memories are strong,” said Adam Mandela, a neurosurgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

The team studied eight volunteers, who exhibited 100 pictures of a series of objects for a second. From 15 to 30 minutes later, they showed another 100 photos – 50 new and 50 of the first round – and asked them to recall what they had seen and were assured that their responses.

Using electrodes electroencephalogram (EEG, for its acronym in English), the team recorded the neuronal activity and electrical signals “background” regions of the brain where memory is formed.

They found that recognition was higher when the learning occurred while the neurons were activated while theta waves.

Most studies are theta waves in rats and only a few are performed in humans, in part because the EEG electrodes should be placed directly on the brain surface for accurate measurements.
