reaction as physical pain and because ostracism is experienced in three stages‚ the life of those painful feelings can be last for the long term (Smith & Williams K. D.‚ 2004). Being excluded is painful because it threatens fundamental human needs‚ such as belonging and self-esteem‚ consequently sadness and anger increase (Williams K. D. ‚ 2011). These effects inevitably emerge despite individual differences. The hypothesis is that being ignored causes the same reaction in people’s brain as physical pain

Brain Dissection Aim: the aim is to dissect the brain and identify all the different parts of it. Equipment: a semi –frozen sheep’s brain‚ dissecting board‚ dissecting instruments (scalpel‚ forceps‚ scissors)‚ plastic ruler‚ paper towel and gloves. Method: * We placed the brain so that the cerebral hemispheres are at the top of the board and the brain stem is at the bottom. * My group identified the external features of the brain: the cerebral hemispheres‚ cerebellum and brain stem.

During the growth and development of the brain‚ the physical structures and neural pathways of the brain can change dramatically. Various regions of the brain may grow‚ new synapses may be created‚ or unused synapses may be pruned off. The ability of the brain to change and adapt has been called plasticity. In the TED talk “The Growing Evidence of Brain Plasticity”‚ Dr. Michael Merzenich makes a case for brain plasticity and proposes ways this ability can be used to help various mental disorders

and Brain - Is There a Difference? Lisa Fitzsimons PHI 200 Instructor Brianne Larsen 02/20/2012 The brain is the most complex organ of the human body; scientists still have many unanswered questions about it. One question is are the mind and the brain the same entity or are they separate entities within a person’s head? It is undisputed that the actions of the mind are within the brain. But are the actions of the mind only neurological impulses sent between neurons within the brain or is
