The brain Weighs 1300-1400g Made up of about 100 billion neurons The most complex living structure in the universe The cerebral hemispheres Are the two halves of the cerebral cortex Although they appear to be separated by a deep grove (the longitudinal fissure) they are actually connected by the corpus callosum They receive messages from and control the opposite side of the body The corpus callosum Is the strand or bridge of nerve tissue that connects the left and right hemispheres

Cortical- this is a hormone that is secreted by the adrenal cortex when a person body is under stress. In females‚ this hormone plays a crucial role during pregnancy where it increases the production of fetal lung surfactant. Dopamine- is a hormone in our bodies that functions as a neurotransmitter. In both male and female it is responsible for our physical movement‚ sexual desire‚ motivation .the function is similar in both male and female but abnormal levels of dopamine have a greater effect in

Theory of brain specialization suggests that different parts of the brain control specific tasks. For example‚ we know that the left hemisphere of the brain is responsible for language. Through these findings‚ Gardner was able to develop his own theory of multiple intelligences (MI Theory) which defends the idea that different regions of the brain are in control of different aspects of intelligence or‚ more correctly‚ different intelligences all together. To defend his theory of multiple intelligences

BLUE BRAIN 1. Introduction The name of the world’s first virtual brain. That means a machine that can function as human brain. Computer simulations in neuroscience hold the promise of dramatically enhancing the scientific method by providing a means to test hypotheses using predictive models of complex biological processes where experiments are not feasible. Of course‚ simulations are only as good as the quality of the data and the accuracy of the mathematical abstraction of the biological

facial recognition. The right hemisphere is indicated to be the part of the brain responsible for processing visual information in comparison to the left hemisphere which is more for language and analytical processing. Studies such as the preference test have reinforced this. Other studies on hemispheric preference include examining emotions‚ facial memory‚ facial features encouraging hemispherical preference and the impact of brain injury on hemispherical functioning. Hemispheric preference for facial

2.2.1: Central bank transparency Transparency has emerged as another key feature of the central banking. The traditional view has been that it is better to achieve at least some of central banks’ objectives outside the center of attention. In more recent times central banks have discovered transparency as a precondition for accountability and more openness. Together with central bank independence‚ transparency forms the second pillar of central bank governance. With the fact that central banks have

The Ten Principles and Brain Development At birth there are about 100 billion brain cells produced and they are beginning to connect with each other. At the first week of age‚ brain development starts with conception. It is important to reach the age of an infant and practice the ten principals. In the early years‚ young brains produce almost twice as many synapses as they will need. By age two‚ the number of synapses a toddler has is similar to that of an adult. By three the child has twice
