Cerveau et système immunitaire 📶
Réduire l'inflammation de bas grade, celle qui passe inaperçue, pour prendre soin de sa santé mentale

Au lieu de cibler le cerveau, un nouvel essai clinique montre que calmer le système immunitaire avec un anti-inflammatoire réduit efficacement la dépression résistante, la fatigue et l'anxiété.

New depression treatment targets the immune system instead of the brain A surprising new approach to depression treatment is showing early promise — not by targeting brain chemicals, but by calming the immune system. In a small clinical trial, researchers found that an anti-inflammatory drug normally used for rheumatoid arthritis appeared to ease symptoms in people wi...

Conscience et neurosciences
Francisco Varela

This week we honour the 25th anniversary of the passing of Francisco Varela (September 7, 1946 – May 28, 2001), who remains one of the most visionary and influential figures in the history of cognitive science.

Varela studied biology at the University of Chile, before completing a PhD in biology at Harvard University. In the wake of the 1973 military coup led by Augusto Pinochet, he spent seven years in exile in the United States before returning to Chile as Professor of biology at the University of Chile. During this period, he immersed himself in the practice of Tibetan Buddhism, studying with Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche, and later Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche. In 1986, Varela settled in France, teaching cognitive science, epistemology, and neuroscience at the École Polytechnique and University of Paris, and then serving as Director of Research at the CNRS in 1988. In 1987, he co-founded the Mind and Life Institute with Adam Engle and the 14th Dalai Lama, initiating a series of intimate dialogues that unfolded a sustained exchange between Buddhist contemplative traditions and contemporary science.

Through his pioneering empirical research and profoundly transdisciplinary theoretical work, Varela transformed how we think about mind and life. His book The Embodied Mind: Cognitive Science and Human Experience (1991), co-authored with Eleanor Rosch and Evan Thompson, introduced the "enactive" approach, proposing that mind and consciousness arise from dynamic interaction between an acting organism and its environment. His earlier contributions, Principles of Biological Autonomy (1979) and The Tree of Knowledge: The Biological Roots of Human Understanding (1987, 1998), co-authored with Humberto Maturana, helped establish the concept of autopoiesis and reshaped our understanding of living systems as self-producing and relational.

We remember him with gratitude, not only for a mind that crossed boundaries with ease, but also for a legacy that continues to animate new ways of thinking about consciousness, life, and experience.

Une approche holistique de la santé exige une connaissance approfondie de toutes les interconnexions internes et externes qui nous traversent pour réussir à transformer notre expérience en équilibre, paix. C'est la discipline de la yogathérapie, qui vient nous rencontrer là où nous en sommes. Direz-vous oui aà cette rencontre ?

With today's technological advances and mixture of world cultures old and new, an almost mind-numbing multitude of techniques, approaches and solutions are promoted/offered for the maintenance of good health.

And yet, amidst this welter of methods, ideas, techniques and commodities, a dispassionate observer can clearly sense that, somehow, somewhere, something deeply fundamental is missing. Even so-called holistic systems often don’t seem integrated enough to deliver on their promises! The reason for this lack is not difficult to find. We must realize that, for any approach to good health to be really successful, there are various factors or aspects—we will call them sub-systems—both internal and external, that affect a person's health. These sub-systems, the structure and organization within each subsystem and the interconnections between them, must be clearly understood. For example, a person’s body, breath and mind form one sub-system, affected by food, family, society and the external environment. And changes in one subsystem will affect all the others. To understand the full impact of these changes, we need to understand the nature of the interconnections among subsystems and their interpenetrating effects, and then we must effectively integrate them into our life. All of this is necessary if we are to formulate a system of physical and psychological health care that can be considered truly holistic.

"If future studies confirm that meditation influences CSF flow consistently and meaningfully, several important possibilities emerge:
✅Meditation could help us understand natural mechanisms of brain maintenance
✅Researchers may explore its role in supporting healthy aging
✅It may complement existing approaches to brain wellness
✅It could refine our models of mind-body interactions
This would deepen both scientific and clinical understanding of mindfulness as a physiological — not just psychological — practice."

How Mindfulness Meditation Influences Brain Physiology - BFC Compassionate Care & Mindful Medicine New research shows that focused attention meditation can subtly change cerebrospinal fluid flow, offering early insight into mindfulness and brain physiology.

"The study provides evidence that the brain’s waste clearance system can be modulated consciously. It links the mental practice of mindfulness to tangible physical changes in intracranial fluid mechanics. This offers a potential mechanism explaining why meditation is often associated with improved cognitive health." "Current scientific understanding holds that this cleaning process is most active during sleep. During deep rest, the brain’s fluid channels widen, allowing for a more thorough washout of toxins. However, the ability to regulate this flow during waking hours has been largely unexplored. The researchers hypothesized that the physiological state of deep meditation might mimic some of the restorative functions of sleep."

Neuroscientists find evidence meditation changes how fluid moves in the brain Researchers using advanced MRI have observed that experienced meditators can alter fluid circulation in their brains. The findings indicate that mindfulness might provide a non-invasive way to support the brain's waste removal system.

Méditation (attention focalisée) et santé du cerveau https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2504961122 "Findings suggest that mindfulness meditation may represent a nonpharmacological, waking state capable of modulating neurofluid dynamics in a directionally similar manner to sleep and opposite to aging and neurodegeneration."
