Neuronal hypersynchronization, creativity and endogenous psychoses.

I have investigated a neuronal hypersynchronism, currently included under the general subject of epilepsy, and termed interictal activity. I suggest that it is a physiological activity of the mammalian brain and propose it be termed Hyperia. After a thorough study of the extraordinary psychic manifestations of this neuronal hypersynchronism shown by mystics and artists, I have reviewed several scientific publications bearing on my hypothesis. I conclude by elaborating on a variety of cerebral hypersynchronous functions whose cause I consider to be physiological. Such behaviour is a common basis for extraordinary psychic manifestations found not only in mystics and artists, but also in patients suffering from endogenous psychoses, especially Bipolar Disorder.

Integrating the creative arts into a midwifery curriculum: a teaching innovation report.

The practice of midwifery has long been recognized as both art and science. However, educational programmes for midwifery are most often undertaken within an academic health sciences environment, and tend to be based on knowledge derived from the sciences (e.g. life sciences, biomedical sciences, behavioural sciences and social sciences). These scientific perspectives, while essential to the preparatory and on-going education of midwives, do not necessarily fully prepare midwives to fulfil their practice roles. This paper reports a teaching innovation aimed at facilitating student exploration of fundamental, complex and ethereal concepts which are essential to the effective and skillful practice of midwifery. Through the exploration of the arts and humanities, students were encouraged to engage with concepts such as 'caring', 'empathy', 'suffering', 'motherhood', 'pain', 'love', 'attachment', 'health' and 'illness'. Students were also encouraged to explore cultural and social symbols pertaining to parenthood and family life. Evaluation revealed that students valued the course, and that they gained insights which assisted them to develop understanding of key concepts. Implications for practice and education are drawn from this paper.
