The brain is the most complex organ in the human body. It controls everything from movement throughout the body to one’s behaviour. For centuries‚ the brain has been seen as almost incomprehensible. However with the advancements of neurological sciences‚ scientist have learned so much more about the brain and the processes it controls. The hindbrain‚ midbrain and forebrain make up the three most basic units of the brain. The hindbrain is composed of the upper section of the spinal cord‚ the cerebellum

1) Strategy‚ culture‚ strength and weakness. Volume up and the price down is the key strategy at TI over the years. TI ’s organizational culture can be summed by a "Do it ourselves" approach. TI is run by engineers for engineers. The company prefers to hire straight out of college and incentivizes employees with salaries and tenures in addition to a company culture that rarely fires. By this‚ TI cultivates loyal and more importantly proud employees. It is no surprise therefore that there is an

The Blue Brain Project by Serge Achildi The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to create a synthetic brain by reverse-engineering the mammalian brain down to the molecular level. An effort to create the first computer simulation of the entire human brain‚ right down to the molecular level‚ was launched on June of 2005. The hope is that the virtual brain will help shed light on some aspects of human cognition‚ such as perception‚ memory and perhaps even consciousness. The "Blue Brain" project‚ a

Although the brain was once seen as a rather static organ‚ it is now clear that the organization of brain circuitry is constantly changing as a function of experience. These changes are referred to as brain plasticity‚ and they are associated with functional changes that include phenomena such as memory‚ addiction‚ and recovery of function. Recent research has shown that brain plasticity and behavior can be influenced by a myriad of factors‚ including both pre- and postnatal experience‚ drugs‚ hormones

Current Issues in Brain Imaging Technology Brain imaging technology has revolutionized the way doctors‚ scientists‚ and researchers are able to see the workings of this highly complex organ. The use of brain imaging techniques allows for discovery without the use of invasive surgical procedures. Now used throughout the globe‚ these techniques have matured dramatically in the last century. With its roots in the early twentieth century using low-tech devices‚ brain imaging has evolved dramatically

learning to their full potential. Brain based learning does that. Brain based learning focuses on strategies based on principles derived from an understanding of the brain (Jensen‚ 2008). The human brain is the most complex organ we have. We have been studying it extensively for years and still are not sure about everything the brain does. What we do know is that‚ in regards to learning‚ the brain is poorly designed for formal instruction (Jensen‚ 2008). Incorporating brain-based learning strategies into

Brain Disease Endangers Football To a high school football player‚ the idea of a disease being severe enough to endanger his revered sport likely evokes outrage‚ or at the very least‚ a severe case of skepticism. And understandably so. Football has defined our culture‚ and for many‚ served as a proud way of life for nearly a century. Without football‚ high school -and really all of America- just wouldn’t be the same. Unfortunately‚ new studies demonstrate that this “disease” may hold some

Three Components of the Brain Did you know our brain is broken up into 3 major components? Within these components they’re even divided into more sections‚ each with an important job of the body. The brain is the most important organ in our body aside from our heart. To name a few it is what allows us to move‚ to breathe‚ to talk‚ to remember‚ to think! Without it functioning properly‚ we would literally in some cases be just like a “vegetable.” Our brain is composed of three major components:
