Brain and behavior Researcher T.D. Lingo had bought nearly 300 acres of mountain wilderness with money he made hosting his own NBC summer TV show in 1957. Initially the rough Rocky Mountain winter season kept him from remaining at the 10,000 foot elevation property year round. However, after a couple of years of commuting forty miles back and forth from Denver for summer "camp out" programs, Lingo finally decided to begin the hard task of fashioning trees into logs into cabins so he could remain in the forest solitude year 'round to work uninterrupted on brain and behavior.
Early on, the Brain In Nature summer programs (started as "Adventure Trails School") had troubled youth participating in behavior modification activities. These kids were recruited to help build the first log buildings on the land. Consequently, the doorway to the first cabin (see above) was scaled to their own height- the red door is only five feet high. Grown-ups have to crouch down to get through!
This early one room cabin became Lingo's library/study/home for 35 years. A perfect haven nestled among the aspen, birch, and pine, for serious and not so serious contemplation of all things brain and behavior.
Beethoven walked in the woods around the city and often drew his greatest inspiration with the activity of clean air and new oxygen in his brain. So was the experience of brain lab participants in the energized, ionized mountain clarity air. Ever notice when the room is stuffy you can't think straight- you get drowsy and tired? So here is what you can do, at home, in your apartment, condo, or house.....
Let the
air sweep out the stale stagnant STUFF. Refresh with fresh
air. Summer and winter (put on a coat!)Do this at least once a week. More is even better. Change all the molecules in your space, and it will have profound effect on the molecules in your brain!

The AMAZING BRAIN ADVENTURE's MOST POPULAR PAGES:
Your Amazing Brain Adventure is a web site all about Tickling Your Amygdala- i.e. turning on the best part of your brain as easy as clicking on a light switch. This is done as easily as imagining a feather inside of your head stimulating a compass, the amygdala. The amygdala is a set of twin organs, a part of your brain that sits right in between the most advance part of your brain- the frontal lobes and pre-frontal cortex- and the most primitive part of your brain- your "reptile brain" and brain stem. By tickling your amygdala you instantly and directly increase creativity, intelligence, pleasure, and also make possible a spontaneous natural processes known as "paranormal abilities", although such things as telepathy and ESP are really as natural as breathing, or as easy doing simple math in your head. The ability to self stimulate the amygdala by something as simple as thought has been proven in laboratory experiments, such as those conducted at Harvard University research labs, 1999-2009, and can be tracked with modern brain scanning machines such as fMRI and PET... Indeed, thought is faster than light.
