However, an additional activity occurs in the left Caudate regionof the brain in bilinguals, when the speakers shift from one language to another. This region primarily distinguishes the type of language being used. This region is found between the frontal lobe and the temporal lobe. (Photo C...
Thicker nerve fibers would be faster, but they would take up so much space that a newborn's head would be too large to pass through the birth canal. Instead, evolution has responded by making brain areas communicate with a dense network of thin connections. Cell Picture Show: Brainbow ...
I. Gut microorganisms can communicate with the brain by sending signals to it. If gut microorganisms respond negatively, these gut-brain interactions sometimes result in such problems as memory loss and depression. 2. Using "good" microorganisms to replace "bad" ones and new medicines that could...
On the whiteboard he uses to communicate, he wrote a single word: bored. As the losses mount, Fran has written out an affirmation she can recite when she needs it. She has joined support groups and is active in the PSP community. She smiles as if making the motion is all that’s ...
Explain how neurons communicate. Include a description of the action potential and how the action potential is converted into a chemical signal that is received by the postsynaptic neuron. How do neurons carry information from the sense organs to the brain? How does the brain represent data in ...
How do neurotransmitters communicate with postsynaptic neurons? How are endothelial cells joined in the brain? How does the brain regulate heat in the body? How does a neurotransmitter initiate depolarization? How do neurons communicate information from involuntary movement? How does the brain function ...
increased support for one mechanism does not necessarily negate the role of other mechanisms. As with all things in biology, it’s messy. It’s likely all mechanisms function to support adaptive myelin changes to some degree. And the mechanism that dominates may change depending on brain condi...
It takes years for some to realize that their fights with their parents, after all, are meaningless. But we all have the chance to avoid such remorse. Sit down and have a talk with our parents, and tell them what we think. We always have the chance and the ability to communicate. ...
Not everything comes natural to us but Darwin suggests that language does. Well, why should we believe this? Well, there are some basic facts that support Darwin's claim. For one thing, every normal--every human society has language. In the course of traveling, cultures encounter other ...
“One of the difficulties when it comes to researching RLS is that you’re relying on what people tell you they are feeling,” said Unger. In mice, who cannot communicate having an urge to move, the research becomes even more difficult. There is a way around this, though -- by observin...
