I think electroshock therapy is one of them. I heard on another lesson on Ted-Ed that complicated depressions are treated with small electroshocks. I also heard a lesson in my school that there is a zone in the brain linked with extreme pleasure. In that lesson a scientist talked me and my classmates that when a mice was connected to it in a laboratory, the mammal turns extremely desperate for doing the things the scientist want the mice to do. For example, if they wanted the mice to push a lever, they will reward the mice with a little electroshock on that zone after the task was completed. I saw the video, and the lesson was about illicit drugs and their effects on the human brain, especially on young people.

Actually light signals could very much alter your mind. Most of the mind bending those organisations do is with the help of screens.

I guess that an optical stimulation is an available tool to alter the neural activity. To excite or suppress the specific neural activity, you can irradiate rats or mice which previously express photoreceptors with lights.

Hi guys! You are all going in the right direction.
One of the most modern applications of what Ángel is referring to is known as Deep Brain Stimulation (aka DBS). This is a neurosurgical procedure where an electrode is implanted in a critical brain area in order to send controlled electrical impulses. It has been successfully used to treat some conditions like major depression, obsessive–compulsive disorder or movement-related disorders, when resistant to other forms of treatment (e.g., pharmacological).
What Jackson and Michimasa are referring to is probably optogenetics, a technique again based on brain implants where the activity of neurons genetically modified to have light-responsive proteins, is controlled by illumination with coloured light.

Furthermore, there are electromagnetic non-invasive approaches of neurostimulation, which are currently used as both research and clinical techniques. Some examples are transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS).
Have you ever heard of any of them?

There are too many fungus that can do the work of a drug does on our brain. One example , and it is one f the most common here in Mexico, is peyote fungus. This kind of fungud had been used for our ancestors to make their people avoid feeling pain, but nowadays it is used to get high.
Doctors have told people how dangerous it can be, because we do not know the consequences when you eat this kind of fungus. Otherwise, people say that you become helthier when you use them but not all expert people can agree on that.

There are different ways to treatment diseases, in Mexican culture, we have alternative treatments which consist in use food or herbs, there are natural ways where people find the solution for their deseases, some experts do not agree with these; but in mexican culture most of the people use this kind of treatment.

Well, I think that the beats of the music can cause alter neural activity due to low sounds that the music has as well as electronic music and some beats of rap music

Well there are some natural means to alter neural activity for instance some herbs are used to cause an affect our behaivor it could be for better or for worse it depens of the way one use them.

Is possible with lights directed a ours eyes, in a posicion special for alter neural activity.

Is armodafinil also harmful??

there are different ways to cure some diseases, remedies are another way out for these, as there are different herbs that have different utility

I think that Deep brain stimulation (DBS), because it is a neurosurgical procedure that involves the implantation of a medical device called neurostimulator, which sends electrical impulses, through implanted electrodes, to treat neuropsychiatric disorders.

Electrical *********** can increase our neural activity, such as electroshock.

Recently I heard about the deep brain stimulation. It is a surgical *********** consisting of implanting a medical device that sends electrical impulses to specific points in the brain. By selecting these points, therapeutic benefits have been achieved for disorders resistant to ***********, such as chronic pain, Parkinson's disease, essential tremor or dystonia.

Herbs and the foods you eat definitely play a part in how quickly you recover. Drugs are not always the best remedy for curing infections and/or diseases because it alters your brain in an unnatural way.

A way that alters neural activity is Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS). It is a neurosurgical procedure that uses implantations of medical devices (neurostimulators) that send electrical impulses, through implanted electrodes, to treat disorders within this system.

I think some substances like herbs and essential oils can affect your brain. I don't know if that counts as non-pharmacological, but I've heard that from someone I know who sells them! I personally do not use essential oils, but I know that some of them can relieve headaches, make you focus, or be used to make you relax!

This may not be a way because your body absorbs them and you can smell them, so they are going directly into your skin and lungs, but I thought it may be a way.

Ageing and lack of sleep, along with disorders can alter or effect normal activity.

I feel like what everyone is saying goes along the lines of: electric shock, music, food and herbs, essential oils, etc. I think everyone has a pretty solid idea about this topic and I like how there are so many different ways to alter neural activity besides getting high or drunk on drugs or alcohol.

yes. i think that the yoga is a good option because the breathing do many good things to the body.

Well, I think that the music can cause alter neural activity due to To excite or suppress the specific neural activity

cannabis can alter the nervous system even becoming medicinal for people with pain.

I think that in the actually light signals could very much alter your mind. Most of the mind bending those organisations do is with the help of screens. And there are too many fungus that can do the work of a drug does on our brain.

yes, an example of this would be shock therapies, music or aromatherapy, because the nervous system is disturbed

yes, music or exercise can alter, because they excite the nervous system

Neural activity can be affected by natural products because in nature there are things that affect neuronal changes from taste or smell

there are different ways to cure some diseases, remedies are another way out for these, as there are different herbs that have different utility

Well there are some natural means to alter neural activity for instance some herbs are used to cause an affect our behaivor and can made a big activity or inhibition in the sinapsis

i think lights and being shocked or there are some foods that could like herbs to

The foods you eat definitely play a part in how quickly you recover. Drugs are not always the best way to diseases because it goes throw your brain in an unnatural way.

I think that it would not hurt you

pills and other substances work?

na

dont do drugs

to much

I think other medicine would work

non-pharmacological drugs can really affect your brain by rewiring it or you can have other major things like liver problems or heart problems

I don't think anyone should do drugs there not good for you but the medicine could work

sleep,dehydrating,music,anger,hit in the head. all of those can change all the ways your brain function/works. without being a drug

maybe different medicine could work, also never do drugs they are not good for you.

I honestly have no idea. but maybe lights and stuff could do it

yeah i agree never do drugs

A roller is one because it helps when you are sore. I use this when I play football and baseball what a foam roller does is it helps you stretch out your muscles and makes them feel better. Another example is a massage gun.

I think that sleep would be one because it helps your body rest and also ice would also be one.

I think that one of them could possible be a type of shock.

I differently agree ! Good job.

electroshock therapy or lights/images that cause optical stimulation

Defiantly music and sense of smell, both of these can bring back memories and cause both emotional and physical reactions.

I believe there are several ways to cause a person to have a change in mentation without the use of drugs. Lights, sounds, anxiety and fear. seizures can be induced by lights, sounds and environment.
