Mirrors in the Brain On a 1991 hot summer day in Parma‚ Italy‚ a lab monkey awaited its researchers’ return from lunch. The researchers had implanted wires next to its motor cortex‚ in a frontal lobe brain region that enabled the monkey to plan and enact movements. The monitoring device would alert the researchers to activity in that region of the monkey’s brain. When the monkey moved a peanut into its mouth‚ for example‚ the device would buzz. That day‚ as one of the researchers entered the lab

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.

Are the brains of men and women specialized in different ways to achieve the same capabilities? Many studies are showing that the brains of men and women may be specialized in different ways to achieve the same capabilities. An example of this would be a man’s brain using one part of the brain to accomplish a task and a woman’s brain accomplishing the same task with another part of the brain. Based on the text I believe that the brains of men and women are specialized in different ways. One example

There are a few theories on how our brain communicates and works; two of those theories being left-brain right-brain dominance and top-brain bottom-brain. In the article There Is No Left Brain/Right Brain Divide it states “We have developed a new theory built on another‚ frequently overlooked anatomical division of the brain‚ into its top and bottom parts. Among other things‚ the top part sets up plans and revises those plans when expected events do not occur; the bottom classifies and interprets
