Testosterone is a bit of madness here is the recipe of power

Being charismatic leaders is not something you can learn over time: leaders are born. He says a psychiatrist who found the roots of power: a matter of hormones and physical appearance. The latest studies on the relationship between brain power and scientific data have confirmed that the story we had already revealed: charismatic leaders are born, not made.

Of course, a proper environment favors the triumph while a series of defeats can put into crisis. But the conquest of power, the ability to manage it and the gift to enchant the crowds, are aspects that derive directly from the biological composition of the leaders. Hormones, neurotransmitters, neurons, and of course the physical aspect are biological components with up to 35% for a politician who climbs the pyramid of power.

“Individuals dominant, cruel, manipulative and persuasive – writes the ‘expert in his latest essay, Cerebro y Coder (brain and power) – are perfect for combat power, and these attributes are dependent on their neuronal circuits and by hormones. As the power struggle and requires expertise, are the androgens, the male sex hormones, to have a particular importance.

Toben said that “the connection between power and testosterone is always positive, even if it is only one ingredient of the cocktail neuronal powerful. Psychologist Inaki Piñuel goes even further: “The leaders have the same charismatic appeal of psychopaths.” For the scholar, whether in the general population is between the index of psychopaths’s 1 and 2%, among the politicians is between 5 and 10%. Like Crazy says Piñuel, leaders have the ability to enchant conceal the ‘deception and to take advantage of anymore. “

Comes from Great Britain, the uterus silicone

A small device silicon will be tested on 40 women in Britain, to grow in the womb since immediately after fertilization the embryos obtained in vitro. This was announced by the British weekly New Scientist. The technique, provided that effectively demonstrate, will reduce the number of eggs used for artificial insemination and ovarian stimulation limit of infertile women undergoing hormonal therapy very strong to produce more oocytes to be fertilized with male sperm .

The technique currently in use provides that once obtained through in vitro fertilization (IVF), embryos are placed inside an incubator for several days. After incubation some of them are chosen to be implanted in the womb. The so-called uterus silicone replaces the incubator allowing embryos to be placed right now in a natural environment conducive to their development and increases their chances of survival. The system was so far only been tested in Belgium with defined results but need further study, for this reason further experiments will be conducted in Great Britain.

For each of the women participating in the study will be taken 8 or 12 oocytes, half of which will be treated with traditional techniques and half with the uterus silicone allowing you to compare the results. The study coordinator is Simon Fishel biologist of international renown in the field of assisted reproduction, director of Care Fertility in Nottingham, in which the tests will be conducted. The womb of silicon consists of a capsule of 5 mm in length and a width with tiny holes, and was developed by Swiss Anecova. The capsule, in which embryos are inserted just trained, goes back into the uterus through the vagina, after a few days the capsule is recovered and it is selected embryos to be implanted later in the womb.
