Brain

We all develop at different rates and reach the moral reasoning point at different ages.

The Catholic Church used to say it happened at about 7 or 8 - the ages at which most children made their first Confession of sins. I don't know their current thinking.

Certainly we are born with a strong sense of right and wrong - many young children notice injustices which involve their world - one child getting more of something than another, or random punishments meted out for offences they weren't aware of. But much of this is self-oriented and it usually takes a few more years for the leap to be made away from their own involvement in a situation to an appreciation of morality as a concept.

pituitary gland

The main part of the periphal nerve system

When it's working on a problem that can be taken care of by one of its specialty sub sectors.

For men that's geometry .... for women it's facial recognition.

"Brain drain" is the large-scale emigration of a large group of individuals with technical skills or knowledge to another geographical area, often another county.

Egyptains took the brain out of the persons dead body with a hook that they put into the nose and took it out peice by peice. they thought that it was not important for yor body and they left the heart in becuae they thought that IT was the most important part so they left it in and took the other organs out and just threw them away.

I think you should be able to, as long as the lungs and heart are still working, but I'd rather you not take the risk. -Alexa

No, it is not.

What consistently got me the "A's" in spelling was the 'practice by rote' method. Visually looking at the words and spelling them aloud ten times each ingrained them in my memory even until today, 45 years later (plus or minus, I never was really all that great at math!)

Because the connections in the brain are what makes your brain work, without connections there's nothing to process or indicate, the process of learning is severely affected by these connections, and if it weren't for them, well, my name wouldn't be Mr. Science 8=D~>-|o

to finish level 38 u have to put in "once upon a time" since the one is above a time

yes

Yes, a chicken is a vertebrate. This means they have a backbone. All vertebrates, and some invertebrates, have a brain.

or the simple answer, yes, chickens do have brains.

hypothalamus

There is a technology called brainwave entrainment that uses audio to alter or influence brainwave activity. Basically, you listen to a special audio CD with a pair of stereo headphones. In one channel a particular frequency is introduced, and in the other a slightly different frequency is played. The difference between the two signals is called a beat frequency. The developers say that the brain interprets this beat frequency, and causes brainwave synchronization at the beat frequency between the two hemispheres of the brain. There are a number of commercial producers of these disks. Hemi-Sync, HoloSync and Dr. Jeffrey Thompson are some of the more well known producers. I've tried them and found them to be very relaxing. Whether this is due to a measurable effect on my brainwaves I don't know but there is something happening when I listen. I prefer the Jeffrey Thompson CDs because they are more musical. Visit their websites for more info. There are also software packages that allow you to create you own brainwave entrainment audio. Yes. It's called the electric chair, and it makes the brain waves stop very quickly. I loved the last answer best but yes there is. It's called an alphawave inducer. Basically, a set of flashing lights that fill your entire field of view (that parts important) and that blink between 3 and 7hz. The blinking lights cause the brainwaves to sync with them. I've built one once using plans from an electronics mag and bought one that I use now for about $50. There are also high end devices (called NovaPro or something like it) that do the same thing for hundreds of bucks. And yes they really do work. Great for relieving stress or getting rid of a tension headache. The first one I built was a set of swim googles with leds in the center of them and a rubber coating poured over them. The electronics was a quick 555 timer circuit run off a 9 volt battery. Nothing complicated.

The electrical impulse bypasses the concious areas of your brain so you don't think about subconcious things, like reflex actions for example. This is to help you in dangerous situations and to help you survive.

Gigabytes are a measurement of digital information storage. Not for mental storage.

A typical adult brain contains 15 billion to 200 billion neurons. Assuming we use the lower figure, the brain is capable of remembering 2 the 10th billion power bits of information.

Basically, the brain can store up to about 10 billion encyclopedia pages worth of information.

ganlia

The medulla oblongata is the most vital part of the brain because it is the control center for breathing, blood pressure and heart beat among other involuntary body functions not under conscious control. Because these functions are necessary for human life, damage to the medulla oblongata can be fatal.

There is only one medulla oblongata in the brain. The medulla connects the brain and the spinal cord, and is the lower half of the brainstem.

Respiration - chemoreceptors

Cardiac center - sympathetic, parasympathetic system

Vasomotor center - baroreceptors

Reflex centers of vomiting, coughing, sneezing, and swallowing
