The Reading “Brain versus Brawn” is about a jocks high school career and how he was discriminated against because he was athletically talented. At his first school he benefited from the special treatment he was receiving from his teaches. But he declined their offers because he decided to earn his grade as every other student. When he transferred to another high school where football was not as important he began to see how his new teacher were harder on him than they were on any other students. The teacher judged him because they assumed that he was expecting hand outs and wasn’t willing to earn his own grades. But he proved everyone wrong and used discouraging teachers as motivation to work as hard in the classroom as he did on the field.…
To summarize the film Rainy brain sunny brain by Elaine Fox using Michael Mosley was about the (pleasure) and optimism and the (fear) and pessimistic thought of the brain. Mosley went through a battery of test to see if they could change his personality in seven weeks. The first stage of a test was to determine a base line on to see where he was optimistic or pessimistic using advance technology that can read brain activity. Once they had a base line they went about sires of making him look at positive smiling faces everyday for the seven weeks as well as practicing breathing and meditation.…
In the article, “Can You Build a Better Brain,” the author, Sharon Begley, introduces some scientific research about enhancing brain’s performance and discusses how we can improve our brain through training. The author begins the article by emphasizing that brain is more complicated than muscle and scientists still do not completely understand the mechanisms of cognition; furthermore, many studies about brain enhancement do not actually show the mechanisms of brain and how doing a certain activity can help improving it. The author continues the article by talking about the studies claiming that certain vitamins and food can improve cognitive function; however, Begley points out that these studies still contain many problems that weren’t mentioned…
The human brain is one of the most complex and fascinating parts of the body. The major regions of the brain are separated into three layers called the central core, the limbic system, and the cerebral hemispheres or otherwise called the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. The forebrain houses the cerebrum, thalamus, and hypothalamus. The midbrain houses tectum and tegmentum. The hindbrain houses the cerebellum, pons, and medulla. From here the brain is divided into five major divisions. They are called the telencephalon (forebrain), the diencephalon (forebrain), the mesencephalon (midbrain), the metencephalon (hindbrain), and the myelencephalon (hindbrain).…
The Article is based on facts and applied research. Im not a scientist so I cant agree or disagree. However I do find it baffling that there is so much study of the brain that goes unseen. Its unbelieved to think how many hours, days, months researchers put in time to find or come up with different ways to uncover the brain. I think I…
As I began reading this story, I was uninterested for the first couple of pages. At first I did not understand what direction this story was going. I, myself have never heard the song “Dixie” before. So I do not know the meaning of the song. Further into the reading, I started seeing why Daniel was so persistent with the Confederate flag. I do like how Daniel was not ashamed to sport the flag. The message of this story is to “rise above.” The Confederate flag has caused a major uproar between whites and blacks recently. Many African American people have felt offended due to the flag. This reading was assigned to show us the other side of the conflict. Most reports of people being offended about the flag because it was “racist.” This story shows how African American people rebelled in an appropriate, non-violent way. There were many factors…

According to urban legend, humans only tap into 10 percent of their brain’s full capabilities. Whether this is true or not, no one really knows, but it is easy to come to the conclusion that human brains are among, if not the most, fascinating, complex, and powerful processing units to exist. Calculate 99*99 in your head. Chances are, most people cannot do this type of calculation in their head. Why? Brain Bugs: How The Brain’s Flaws Shape Our Lives, by Dean Buonomano, gives us insight into this and many other hurdles humans must overcome on a daily basis due to outdated brain features that were once advantageous for survival.…
The internet opens the door to an unlimited amount of resources to individuals. Seventy six percent of experts agree that the internet will continue to improve the acumen of the human brain throughout the next four years (Weir). The internet offers the option to relinquish the traditional teacher and student in the classroom, and take online or virtuals classes. Sites such as Google have become a productive resource in enhancing the way the human brain operates.…

Wring placement exam Summer Vacation is a not necessity for both students and teachers. I believe with a true passion that summer vacation is indubitably the reason for students falling behind and losing knowledge. In "This Is Your Brain on Summer" by Jeff Smink, states in the opening paragraph that "If students are not engaged in learning over the summer, they lose skills in math and reading.…
Building on previous discussions, the article, Beyond the Brain, attributes causal relationships to mental illnesses and suggests that remedies to such illnesses are within the realm of social provisions and social services. Based on the article, critically evaluate the statement that schizophrenia and other mental illness, with high prevalence in urban settings, are reflections of structural violence against communities. If you ask a person about modern medicine and how people are treated, majority will say that medicine is about finding the right pills or procedures to cure people from various types of diseases. Basically, physician identified the problem, prescribes the right treatment and this is supposed to make a patient feel better.…
The McGill website states “If each hemisphere were unfolded, it would be the size of an extra-large pizza! For this reason, the brain must fold over on itself many times to fit into the skull (McGill “The Brain”). When a website used for academics, compares my brain to pizza I I’m Interested! Can a giant network of neurons make us who we are? The brain is one of the most complex organ of the human body. Many people over time have explored and tried to examine and explain the functions of the brain. Many people have an idea, but most still do not understand. We have read about some of the scientists and experiments they have done including Pierre Florenens, Eduard Hitzig, and VS Ramachandran.…
The brain is the control center of the human body. It is protected by the skull and is made up of three main parts, the cerebrum, the cerebellum and the Brainstem. The brain is the boss of the body, it runs the show and controls just about everything one does, even when one’s asleep. (Kidshealth, n.d.) During this brief tour guide of the brain, one will see how the brain fits into the Central Nervous System, how the main parts work together, and what would happen if one of those main parts were damaged.…
