Antelopes are mainly grassland species, but many have adapted to flooded grasslands: pukus, waterbucks and lechwes are all good at swimming, usually feeding in deep water, while the sitatunga has long, splayed hooves that enable it to walk freely on swampy ground. The sub-family Caprinae ...
While improvements in technology clearly have many benefits, we must remain mindful that technology can influence the brain. Our question is: Can we find a way to still use GPS but reduce the harmful effects on memory? The challenge is to create other forms of GPS navigation that will remai...
Many people think of the brain as a mystery.They don't know much about intelligence and how it works.When they do think about what intelligence is,many people believe that a person is born smart,average,or dumb---and stays that way in the w

Finding Connections : How Do the Parts of the Brain Interact ?Wenner, By Melinda
Mills: So what happens with people who are congenitally deaf, then how do they learn to read? Does their brain have to work in a different way? Kraus: Yeah, it can work in a different way. And now many people who are congenitally deaf get cochlear implants which enable them to actually...
上文Having a nap after lunch can be good for your brain and many seniors have developed such a good habit for long. (午饭后打个盹对你的大脑有好处,许多老年人长期以来都养成了这样的好习惯。)指出午休对大脑健康好;下文While a 30-min to 90-min nap has brain benefits,anythi...
For example, evidence for option A recurrently excited the populations APPC and APFC (red connections) while it led to an inhibition of the populations BPPC and BPFC (blue connections). Importantly, instead of independent noise, we used the activity of the PFC and PPC regions of the 379-...
A 2004 study at the University of California, Irvine found that the volume of gray matter in parts of the cerebral cortex had a greater impact on intelligence than the brain's total volume. The findings suggest that the physical attributes of many parts of the brain -- rather than a ...
When the brain forms memories or learns a new task, it encodes the new information by tuning connections between neurons. MIT neuroscientists have discovered a novel mechanism that contributes to the strengthening of these connections, also called synaps
