you should seek further resources because some UV rays like UVB can pass through those leaving your skin exposed. To further protect the skin people typically use sun protection lotions with different levels which provide more or less protection. SPF 50 provides about two percent more protection than SPF 30 and 5 more percent than SPF 15. The highest level of SPF is 100 which protects 99 percent of the skin but no factor can protect it 100 percent(The American Cancer Society medical and editorial

scientists believed that the brain did change after childhood.They thought that only young brains were able to form new neural connections. Through this logic‚ scienctists also believed that if a section of an adult brain was damaged that the damage was unreversible. They thought that new connections could not be created and the brain could not compensate for damage. Through advances in neuroscience‚ these old beliefs have been put to rest. We now understand the brain is able to create new neural

Explain one study related to localization of function in the brain (Sperry) Command Term: Explain reasons or causes. Localization of function refers to the belief that specific areas of the cerebral cortex are associated with specific physical or behavioral functions. Examples of case studies to prove how specific locations of the brain can be affected and have an impact on behavior are demonstrated by the HM and Phineas Gage incident. In 1848‚ when Phineas Gage was tampering iron to press
