In this activity you will take a tour of the human brain and explore the major brain regions to discover the functions of each region or area. Functional Specialization • In terms of brain function‚ what is functional specialization? Hearing a sound or moving our thumb is controlled by a cluster of neurons. This gives us the capability of the nervous system. A neural network is the cluster of neurons. • Why is the principle of complex communication important to understand? Each neural

The brain works together in a mysterious way. In 1981‚ it was discovered that the brain is actually split into two hemispheres‚ left and right. Each hemisphere of the brain processes information in its own unique way. Each side of the brain carries on it’s own set of task and duties it needs to accomplish‚ but at the same time‚ both parts still work together. When deciding on which hemisphere I rely on the most‚ it can easily be said that I use the left-hemisphere more so than the right. I am

that contribute to a left-turning tendency in propeller driven airplanes. The forces of P-factor‚ torque‚ slipstream‚ and gyroscopic precession all work to create a left-turning tendency during high-power‚ low-airspeed flight. P-Factor is a force from the propeller. It is also known as Asymmetrical Thrust. When you are flying an airplane at high angles of attack‚ the descending blade (right side) of the propeller takes a greater ”bite” of air than the ascending blade(left side). This then causes

The Cinderella Myth The tale of Cinderella is encoded as a text of patriarchal moral instruction in which a sense of female agency will always by definition be absent. In this folk tale‚ which is also a fairytale‚ female character is positioned in terms of what it is not: not dominant‚ not powerful‚ not male. Cinderella herself‚ non-hero of a dubious tale‚ evinces more depth than most archetypes. She is capable of developing relationships‚ meting forgiveness‚ manipulating her own destiny‚ even of
