This is an example of the toll it takes on the family of the unwind. Another example of this is CyFI. He gets an entire temporal lobe from an unwind called tyler and sometimes tyler takes over CyFi’s body. This is shown when it states “It’s a he‚" Cy says. "I don’t know his name. He musta kept his name in another part of his brain. All I got was his right temporal lobe. That’s only an eighth of the cerebral cortex‚ so I’m seven-eighths me‚ and one-eighth him.” This quote shows that CyFi is not all

Previous research has indicated that ASD brains contain abnormalities in spine density in frontal‚ temporal and parietal lobes. This finding provides a new look on autism therapy. It is possible that in future autism and autism-like disorder might be treated by mTOR inhibitors. It is possible to use this mechanism in treatment. Can replicate ir chemically by using

The brain is an amazing arrangement. It is the most rigid and interesting part of the human body. It is like a computer that controls every part of the body. The brain consist of many millions of neurons cells that support the brain system this is called Glial cells (Pinel 2011 p.55) The neurons in the brain process information and these are the nervous system communication device. Neurons can be broken down into four structures. These are soma‚ the cell body which shields and protect the nucleus
