There are a few theories on how our brain communicates and works; two of those theories being left-brain right-brain dominance and top-brain bottom-brain. In the article There Is No Left Brain/Right Brain Divide it states “We have developed a new theory built on another‚ frequently overlooked anatomical division of the brain‚ into its top and bottom parts. Among other things‚ the top part sets up plans and revises those plans when expected events do not occur; the bottom classifies and interprets

Male Brain vs. Female Brain: Is one Better than the Other? Differences between males and females have been an issue affecting our society for thousands of years. Why are we so different? Why are we so similar? Several scientists have attempted to explain these variations‚ all using different methods and approaches. A very controversial study by psychologist J. Philippe Rushton suggested that men are innately more intelligent than women. This study gave arousal to several studies that oppose it

connective tissue cells called astrocytes. Astrocytes are responsible for protecting other nerve cells found within the brain and spinal cord and are known as glial cells and form tissue which is known as glial tissue. Tumors that arise from glial tissue‚ including astrocytomas‚ are collectively referred to as gliomas. They accounts for 35 to 50 percent of all tumors that are present in the brain and spinal cord. Astrocytoma is separated into two classification systems and into four different groups‚ which

Effects of alcohol on brain functioning and neurotransmitters The consumption of alcohol can cause an effect on several parts of the brain including the hypothalamus‚ pituitary gland‚ medulla and the limbic system (How alcohol works 2008). Each sector responds differently to alcohol‚ causing changes in specific behaviors. Cerebral cortex The role of the cerebral cortex is to decipher information received from the senses‚ processing thought‚ speech‚ and memory and indicating the majority of

But it showed a possible connection between heavy phone usage and glioma‚ a brain tumor that is rare but deadly. However‚ this information was not enough to support the case. That study of over 14‚000 people in many countries‚ along with animal experiments‚ led to classifying electromagnetic energy from cell phones as possibly carcinogenic

Introduction The brain develops at an astonishing rate starting from conception. In the first ten years of a child’s life‚ their brain will have made billions of connections. By the time the individual grows older‚ the brain will continue to grow and make more connections. The main contributions to a developing brain are biological genes‚ the enviornment‚ and different critical periods. In this paper‚ the following will be elaborated on: (a) fetal brain development‚ (b) brain development in children

Case study Simulation of data To illustrate usage of Zebu‚ data simulated using a bayesian network will be used. The example presented in figure 1 is borrowed from Pearl [25]. Five thousand cases with 5% of missing data was simulated using SamIan. To illustrate how Zebu handles continuous variables‚ calcium concentrations were simulated. ”Not increased” cases were randomly sampled from a normal distribution with mean 2.4 and standard deviation 0.05. ”Increased” cases were randomly sampled from an

makes a lot of differences one of which is to the brain itself. There are many ways the adolescent’s brain is different from an adults. One reason that an adolescent’s brain is different from an adults is that a child’s brain is not fully developed. Most adolescents have a lack of impulse control. They cannot resist things that are tempting. If one of their friends is doing something risky that may harm themselves and
