Tommy Campbell Fr. Williams Eng 241 26 February 2011 Symbolism Symbolism is a powerful tool used by people every day to force people to look past the obvious and find the deeper meaning.

This French scientist studied the effects of gross brain lesions and brain transections on sleep behavior and related phenomena. It was Jouvet who first suggested that a brainstem region is responsible for the initiation of events that result in the stage of sleep called REM sleep. REM sleep is a stage associated with rapid eye movements‚ a high degree of brain wave activity

So far‚ Morgan’s “Fantastic Mr. Fox” is considered a diorama through its narrative‚ its manipulation of the taxidermied animals‚ and its ability to manipulate the audience.

In confirming that it is considered a diorama‚ there is something that all three of these

Beriberi: Beriberi is a disease in which the body does not have enough thiamine (vitamin b1). Those people with most risk of getting the disease are alcoholics. Drinking much can lead to poor nutrition and alcohol makes it harder for the body to store thiamine. Beriberi occurs in breast-fed infants when the mother’s body is lacking in thiamine.

Hemiparesis is a condition that is commonly caused by either stroke or cerebral palsy‚ although it can also be associated with brain tumours‚ multiple sclerosis‚ and other diseases of the central nervous system. The word ‘hemi’ means half‚ while the ‘paresis’‚ means weakness.

Hence‚ ’hemiplegia’ means complete paralysis of one half of the body‚ including one arm and leg. Any disease or injury in the motor centers of the brain can cause hemiplegia. Hemiplegia is a more severe form of ’hemiparesis’ wherein one half of the body is only weakened. It is also very different from the conditions of paraplegia & quadriplegia‚ which are commonly confused with hemiplegia. Paraplegia is paralysis in both legs‚ below the waist. Quadriplegia is paralysis below the neck and is also usually

I have always been drawn toward STEM‚ especially biology. Recently I’ve been fascinated‚ in a disbelieving sort of way‚ with prosthetics. I’m frustrated by slow pace of advancements in both prosthetics and the inability to overcome paralysis brought on by neck and back injuries. I think that we need to focus on better methods of sending signals to nerve endings to simulate natural movement‚ which I understand scholars at Case are working on currently‚ but I also would like to see us focus on the
