general growth curve of the child slows down during this age and time period. Also during this age the brain grows from 70 percent to 90 percent of its adult weight. It also undergoes much reshaping and refining. The child normally develops a dominant cerebral hemisphere which means a stronger hand preference reflecting a greater capacity of one side of the brain over another. The brain has much more development and refining during this time. The cerebellum is at the rear and base of the brain and aids

different contributions to a single sense of self‚ but under certain conditions can appear as two separate ’things’. Persinger and Koren designed the God Helmet in an attempt to create conditions in which contributions to the sense of self from both cerebral hemispheres is disrupted. Most reports from Persinger’s lab consist of people sensing "presences"; people often interpreted these to be that of angels‚ a deceased being known to the subject‚ or a group of beings of some kind.

It is currently unclear‚ however‚ how the ongoing developmental processes impact upon the folding of the cerebral cortex and how changes in gyrification relate to maturation of GM/WM-volume‚ thickness and surface area. In the current study‚ we acquired high-resolution (3 Tesla) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data from 79 healthy subjects (34 males and 45 females)

ganglia are a group of interconnected subcortical structures composed primarily of the striatum‚ pallidum‚ substantia nigra‚ and the subthalamic nucleus. These structures span across the diencephalon‚ telencephalon‚ and the midbrain‚ and lie under the cerebral cortex. The striatum is the primary afferent‚ or input‚ structure‚ consisting of two parts‚ the medial caudate and the lateral putamen. The primary output structures of the basal ganglia are the medial globus pallidus and substantia nigra pars reticula

<b>INTRODUCTION</b><br><br>The human body is divided into many different parts called organs. All of the parts are controlled by an organ called the brain‚ which is located in the head. The brain weighs about 2.75 pounds‚ and has a whitish-pink appearance. The brain is made up of many cells‚ and is the control centre of the body. The brain flashes messages out to all the other parts of the body. The messages travel in very fine threads called nerves. The nerves and the brain make up a system somewhat
