The human brain is not fully developed until age twenty five (Aamodt)‚ but students are expected to use the full capacity very early on. Different parts of the brain develop at different rates‚ and students have high expectations before their brain is ready to perform such tasks (NINDS; Marlowe). Continuous stress can even slow or stop brain development and lead to learning difficulties (UGA; Bristol Science Centre; Scott). Functions of the brain are important to comprehend so that we may determine

The Brain and Cognitive Functions Centuries of philosophy and science have been dedicated to unraveling the mystery behind how cognition occurs‚ how it maps to areas of the brain‚ and to what degree cognition is dependant upon these various areas in which cognitive activities are located.

The Blue Brain Project by Serge Achildi The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to create a synthetic brain by reverse-engineering the mammalian brain down to the molecular level. An effort to create the first computer simulation of the entire human brain‚ right down to the molecular level‚ was launched on June of 2005. The hope is that the virtual brain will help shed light on some aspects of human cognition‚ such as perception‚ memory and perhaps even consciousness. The "Blue Brain" project‚ a
