Introduction When the brain reads it can be magical. Researchers has been amazed about what the brain can do while it is reading. It can use both of the reading and sound system at the same time. Learning to read can be easier with the right help. Researchers have found what works best and students can improve reading by using their tools and strategies. Subtopic 1: The Brain (how learning works) describe the process of reading There are circuits in the brain‚ and they have to

Brain Based Learning For many years science and education have concentrated on learning and the mind‚ but today’s neuroscientists and educators are seeing learning from a different scope – the brain. From this viewpoint‚ learning is creating links – by linking the information in which the student has prior knowledge or interest‚ the student is able to expand upon this and learn something else which he can relate it to. For example‚ in a history class when discussing Native Americans‚ a teacher

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

Although many activities and sports may be enjoyable‚ some may cause long-term consequences specifically to the brain. There have been several reports of brain trauma and head injuries due to certain sports‚ such as football. Research shows many individuals who have experienced the dangers of brain damage because of physical infliction during a game of football. The movie Concussion shows a forensic pathologist who discovers chronic traumatic encephalopathy‚ or CTE‚ while performing an autopsy on

Current Issues in Brain Imaging Technology Brain imaging technology has revolutionized the way doctors‚ scientists‚ and researchers are able to see the workings of this highly complex organ. The use of brain imaging techniques allows for discovery without the use of invasive surgical procedures. Now used throughout the globe‚ these techniques have matured dramatically in the last century. With its roots in the early twentieth century using low-tech devices‚ brain imaging has evolved dramatically

learning to their full potential. Brain based learning does that. Brain based learning focuses on strategies based on principles derived from an understanding of the brain (Jensen‚ 2008). The human brain is the most complex organ we have. We have been studying it extensively for years and still are not sure about everything the brain does. What we do know is that‚ in regards to learning‚ the brain is poorly designed for formal instruction (Jensen‚ 2008). Incorporating brain-based learning strategies into

the Brain written by Michael S. Gazzaniga explores neuroscience that took place within the last 50 years. In his book‚ Gazzaniga begins telling his own story as a young neuroscientist who was developing a soon to be well known theory on split brains. Divided into four parts‚ part one of the book titled “Discovering the Brain” starts out while Gazzaniga wat attending Dartmouth College‚ and was moving on to Caltech for an internship. At Caltech‚ Gazzaniga got hooked on the idea of split brain research

genes involve the dopamine receptors or transporting molecules (Batts). “Some of these genes may increase dopamine receptors on certain parts of the brain which may have the effect of depleting dopamine” (Batts). Let’s rewind for a second. ADHD is classified as a neuropsychiatric disorder. Neuro relating to nerves or the nervous system of the brain. The brain has a specific neurotransmitter deficiency‚ norepinephrine. Norepinephrine requires dopamine in order to function correctly. The building basic
