The human brain is vital for every function of every day; from breathing to talking the brain is involved. Yet, the human brain varies from person to person, especially when it comes to gender. Many believe that males and females cannot be that different when the brain is being compared, but there are many differences. The structure, cognitive ability, and disorders are major differences between male and female brains. The main reason the structure of the brain varies between the sexes is due to

Have you at one time ask yourself what happens to the human brain if ever blood failed to flow to it? The answer is very simple. If the flow of blood in the brain gets discontinued then you will get a stroke. Stroke is a result of improper blood circulation in the brain. It is the major reason for disability and death worldwide. Blocked by both a clot or bursts, the blood vessel transporting oxygen and nutrients to the human brain will fail to meet its purpose. Upon this event, one part of

Evolution is the change of traits of a species over several generations. A famous biologist named Charles Darwin, theorized that evolution happens by natural selection. Many people believe that evolution requires millions of years but scientists believe that evolution can occur rather quickly. In Today’s world, we have better health care, food, shelter and hygiene. Some might question if our advanced medicine and technology can lead to a stop in evolution, but in fact we are still evolving according

Strokes occur when blood flow to the brain ceases, causing brain cells to begin to die within minutes. In some instances, people who suffer from a stroke lose at least one function. Although all functions are important, there are some functions that are more crucial than others. If I were to suffer a stroke, there are three that would have the largest impact on my life: movement, memory, and emotion. I feel that the function that would affect my life the most if it were lost would be memory. Memories

According to Matlin (2005), memory is the process of maintaining information over time. “Memory” came from the Latin word memorari and memor, meaning "mindful" or "remembering". Memory is our ability to encode, store, and recall information or past experiences with the help of the human brain. It is like a filing cabinet with a limitless capacity and speed. The work that our memory does widely depends on the owner: the humans. Scientific research has shown that the human brain starts remembering

Home Safety After A Stroke: Taking Good Care Of Yourself On The Road To Recovery A stroke can change your life severely, with recovery possibly taking years or the effects lasting the rest of your life. Although you will depend on your doctor and therapists, once you get home, you need to manage your personal safety and day-to-day living with thoughtful care and that means making every room in your house safer and more practical, to meet your needs. 1. Safety In The Bathroom Even for able-bodied

For a long time, it was always assumed that the number of brain cells you were born with was a predetermined amount, and that while you could certainly lose brain cells due to old age, brain damage or poor life decisions, you certainly couldn’t generate more. But in 1965, the scientist Joseph Altman proposed to have evidence to the contrary. In all organisms with neural systems, neurogenesis undoubtedly happens during the developmental stage right from conception. Although first presented in the

Cryonics will not be possible in the future. People today view cryonics as unorthodox, but it will be a matter of is it worth it to spend $200,000 ($400 every year) to have a full body suspension or even $80,000 for a brain suspension when one may only be partially cognitive(being able to be conscious or fully aware). With the rapid increase in technology, theoretically, cryonics is possible, but only if we are talking about a materialistic point of view. The idea is to be able to download a brain

Due to SAD’s variety of causes and manifestations, study of the disease is extremely difficult. According to HealthLine.com, a medical research website that is partnered with the Food and Drug Administration, the exact cause of SAD is unknown and the cause is most likely a combination of genetic and environmental factors. This is where the disorder becomes complex. Just as every person is different, so too is their experience with SAD. Every person’s genes are different and the genetic code that

When I finish reading chapter two, I got many ideas about the brain, and I quickly thought about how Albert Einstein’s brain is different from other’s brain. Many scientists explained that Albert Einstein’s brain is different from other’s brain because he had a killer corpus callosum, which is a large bundle of fibers connecting the left and right hemispheres to each other, and its function is to keep each sides of the brain informed about what the other half is doing. Some other scientists believe
