Team dynamics refers to the patterns of interaction and relationships among team members. It shapes how a team communicates, resolves conflict, and achieves goals together.
The idea that the left and right sides of the brain tend to specialize in different functions.
The part of the brain that keeps basic life functions going.
The part of the brain that keeps basic life functions going.
The corpus callosum is a thick bundle of nerve fibers that connects the left and right sides of the brain so they can work together.
Patterns of electrical activity in the brain that change with different mental states.
The basic cell that makes up the brain and nervous system, transmitting information through electrical signals.
White matter is brain tissue made up of bundles of nerve fibers that connect different regions of the brain, appearing white because they are wrapped in a fatty substance called myelin.
Small triangular endocrine organs located atop each kidney that produce hormones essential for the stress response, including cortisol and adrenaline.
A part of the brain that helps with balance, movement coordination, and learning physical skills.
The myelin sheath is an insulating layer that wraps around a neuron's axon, helping electrical signals travel quickly and efficiently. Healthy myelin is essential for smooth communication between the brain and body.
The thalamus is a brain structure that acts as a relay station, receiving sensory information and directing it to the appropriate areas of the cerebral cortex.
Confabulation is when the brain unconsciously fills gaps in memory with plausible but fabricated information — not lying, but genuinely believing the invented details.
The long part of a neuron that carries signals to other cells.
The hippocampus is a vital part of the brain responsible for forming and storing memories. It gets its name from its seahorse-like shape.
Workplace bullying refers to repeated aggressive behaviors in the workplace that cause serious stress to the victim.
Mirror neurons are brain cells that activate when you observe someone else's action, just as if you were doing it yourself.
The ongoing process of growing in your work life by understanding your strengths, building skills, and shaping a path that fits you.
The process of helping people and organizations adjust to change in a clear, structured, and supportive way.
The reward pathway is a neural circuit in the brain responsible for feelings of pleasure and motivation, with dopamine playing a central role in this system.
The deepest stage of sleep, during which the body repairs itself and strengthens immune function.
Selfie culture refers to the widespread practice of taking self-portraits and sharing them on social media. While it can be a tool for self-expression, it may also lead to appearance obsession and self-objectification.
Sleep architecture refers to the pattern and composition of recurring sleep stages that cycle throughout the night. It describes how different stages of sleep are organized and distributed during a single night's rest.
Sleep stages are recurring phases of distinct brain activity during sleep, divided into non-REM (stages 1–3) and REM sleep.
Sleep debt is the accumulated deficit that builds up when you consistently get less sleep than your body needs.
A tool for recording daily sleep patterns that helps identify and improve sleep problems.
A bundle of nerve fibers that carries signals from one region of the brain to another. Our habits, emotions, and ways of thinking are all shaped along these pathways.
A network of neurons that work together to carry out a specific function. Emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are all created by the activity of these circuits.
Role conflict is the tension you feel when you are expected to fulfill two or more roles whose demands are incompatible with each other.
Relaxation training uses various techniques to relax your body and mind, helping you fall asleep more easily.
Hypnagogia is the vivid sensory experiences — images, sounds, and physical sensations — that occur in the transitional state between wakefulness and sleep.
Organizational culture is the total set of values, beliefs, and behavioral norms shared by the members of an organization.
Job satisfaction refers to the overall sense of contentment a person feels about their work.
Work engagement is a positive state of energetically participating in your job with passion and dedication.
A rapid electrical signal generated by a neuron to transmit information, forming the basis of all thoughts, emotions, and movements.
A key brain region that produces dopamine, serving as the starting point for reward, motivation, and pleasure.
A method that improves sleep efficiency by limiting the time spent in bed to match your actual sleep duration.
The Somatic Marker Hypothesis proposes that bodily sensations — like gut feelings or anxiety — play a crucial role in guiding our decisions.
Stimulus Control Therapy strengthens the connection between your bed and sleep, so that lying down naturally triggers sleepiness. It works by retraining your brain to associate the bed with falling asleep quickly.
Job burnout is a state of emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced sense of effectiveness caused by chronic workplace stress. It goes beyond ordinary tiredness and reflects a deeper depletion of one's mental and emotional resources.
Memory consolidation is the process by which newly learned information or experiences become stably stored in the brain. It happens most actively during sleep, strengthening memories so they last long-term.
Role ambiguity is the state of feeling confused because your job scope, responsibilities, and expectations are unclear.
Organizational justice refers to how fairly employees perceive rewards, procedures, and treatment within their organization.
Job autonomy refers to the degree to which a person can independently decide how, when, and in what order to carry out their work.
A sleep disorder where breathing repeatedly stops during sleep, significantly reducing sleep quality.
Long-term stress can change how the brain works, especially in areas related to memory, emotion, and focus.
This is the concept that the left and right hemispheres of the brain are each specialized for different functions.
An antagonist is a substance that binds to a receptor but blocks its activation rather than triggering a response. It prevents other molecules from activating the receptor, thereby inhibiting specific physiological or psychological reactions.
A hidden brain region tucked deep within the cerebral cortex that plays a crucial role in feeling emotions and sensing the body's internal states. It is considered the source of self-awareness.
Neuroimaging refers to technologies that visually capture the structure and activity of the brain. Through techniques like MRI, fMRI, and PET, we can observe the appearance and functioning of a living brain.
