women do think differently‚ at least where the anatomy of the brain is concerned‚ according to a new study.The brain is made primarily of two different types of tissue‚ called gray matter and white matter. This new research reveals that men think more with their gray matter‚ and women think more with white. Researchers stressed that just because the two sexes think differently‚ this does not affect intellectual performance. In human brains‚ gray matter represents information processing centers‚ whereas

dopamine once inside of the brain and deals with memory‚ cognition‚ perception‚ and a wide variety of primary functions associated with the frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex (Livingstone et al.‚ 2009). It provides a state of heightened neural activity due to more excitatory neurotransmitters present within synaptic clefts of neurons. This extra molecular presence within the synaptic gaps can lead to stabilizing and more homeostatic dopamine-like concentrations within the brain that could potentially

The claim of Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness by author Susannah Cahalan is that even ruthless illnesses can be overcome. This is shown when a nurse asks her mother “Has she always been so slow?”(Ch 24 pg 120); when her therapist questions how she’s feeling‚ “‘I’ll ask you again.

Summary on Brain Plasticity Research and treatments in the neurorehabilitation field are starting to excel. It was first thought that the central nervous system could not repair itself after an injury. It wasn’t until the 1970’s that research studies showed it had the ability to heal itself to some extent. Researchers ultimately wanted to know if there was a relationship between the central nervous system and cortical plasticity so this knowledge could be used to benefit patient recovery. One

Among causes of the French Revolution‚ the principal condition was the "revolutionary situation" which had developed in 18th century France through mismanagement of the economy and‚ in particular‚ the costs incurred in fighting the Seven Years’ War and the American Revolutionary War.

Brain of the Cell The nucleus is literally a membrane-bound organelle and is surrounded by a double membrane. I feel that the nucleus is of the greatest importance in the cell because it is the control center that oversees the metabolic functioning of the cell and it directs all the cells activities. The nucleus is like the head of the cell and without a head the rest of the body is useless. It is the largest organelle and within the nucleus is the DNA responsible for providing the cell with its
