The Mysterious(WF) of Sleep Process

Now i(v)m not reading a specific book or paper, i usually read different papers, because i don't need a lot of time to read one, a big paper have mm maybe 60 pages, when is a review, but, today in science you can find papers with only 2 or 3 pages. If i need to speak about a specific genre, i always read neurosciences papers in general, sleep; memory and learning process are my favourite(’s)(WF) topics. For example, i enjoying read (WF o WT) about the influence of sleep in memory consolidation. In this point (WE), we need to understand the basic process of the brain. We have different dynamics in our brains where the influence of electrical activity and chemical interactions are the base for all process in a person, in the case of the electrical activity we can identify different waves, like beta, alpha, theta and delta, but in sleep, we can find a common activity denomination, the slow wave sleep (SWS) and REM sleep (Rapid eyed movements). For(WW)memory consolidation the researches from the past 5 years have a consensus (mmm maybe) about the influence of the SWS, because in this specific moment of the sleep, the hippocampus is working on consolidation. In other part (WE), the influence of odors and the facilitation of odor stimulation for memory consolidation are so interesting too. This area of research is very exciting for me, and i hope dedicate my life for new discoveries in the area, maybe in the future we can find a solution for memory problems and increase the understanding of the sleep and every function in relation with that wonderful and mysterious process.

It is Vicious

I recently finish a book I have wanted to read for a while. It is called Vicious, it was written by an American author named Victoria Schwab and it was published in 2013. I read it in English because it has not been translated to Spanish yet and I could not wait so I thought I´ll try to read it on its original language and I could.

It´s a fantasy novel about two friends in college that learn how to get supernatural powers but later become archenemies. It starts in the middle of the story and is continuously going ford and back in time until you get to the event that changes everything. In every chapter you´ll get all these pieces of information that you may not understand completely in the moment but it will make more sense the further you read. So in the past you´ll see these two roommates, best friends, and their life in college and in the present you´ll see them trying to haunt each other. The two main characters have really interesting personalities and their interactions as best friends are as interesting as their interactions as archenemies.

I enjoyed it very much, I didn´t want to stop reading and I was really sad when it ended. I think reading it again, now knowing everything that happened, will be a really different experience than the first time. I can´t wait.

Stuff I have been listening to lately

Today is free topic again so I will write about what I have been listening to lately. My phone doesn´t have a lot of memory so I can´t put as much music as I would like on it. Because of this I get bored of listen the same songs and I change them often. I´ve had been really into  soundtracks of movies and series these days so right now in my phone I have The nightmare before Christmas and 500 days of Summer complete soundtracks, and the intro themes of Vikings, Black Sails and Sherlock. 

I think I like to listen the soundtrack of The nightmare before Christmas because it remains me of moments of the movie, which I like a lot. About the 500 days of Summer soundtrack, I think I like it because is like the perfect music to listen when I am on the bus or on the subway in my way to somewhere.

I love the series Vikings and I can’t wait for the fourth season premiere next year, besides the intro theme is so epic, I just love it. I stopped watching Black Sails because I wanted to watch other things more but I really like the main theme so maybe I will try to watch the series again. Sherlock will take forever to come back but I´ll wait always and listen to the main theme meanwhile.

English exercises

Today I’ll write about my performance in a serie of different mini tests. In the first part, reading, I did pretty well I think. I just had one mistake and it was because I didn´t understood the meaning of “Free estimates” in the context of a building company. In the second part, listening, I only had one mistake too and it was because I didn´t understood the images of the options.  In the last part, vocabulary, I had two mistakes, one because I confused niece with nephew and the other because I didn´t knew the expression “traffic jam”. Overall I would say I did well but it could be better.
