Learning to read also creates new connections in the brain. With the invention of reading, humans rearranged the very organization of our brain, which improves the way to think and changes the intellectual evolution(进化) of our humans. What do you think? Do you hope people keep on reading ...
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 whole life.But new research shows that the bra...
But in doing so, we urge them to remember that reading must be grounded in a firm understanding of the connections between letters and sounds. Educators who deny this reality are neglecting decades of research. They are also neglecting the needs of their students. Questions 32 - 36 Do the ...
the things you want and the things you don't want. keeping the things that you don't want in mind (failing, not having incredible connections in your life, not being able to support yourself, not going after your dreams)...
As the population ages,the challenges for the preservation of brain health increase.It is therefore vital for seniors to understand how to protect it. Exercise regularly.Regular physical exercise tends to help fight against the natural reduction in brain connections that occur durin...
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...
In these organoids, we found that an excessive number of synapses (the connections betweenbrain cells) were eliminated—more than you would expect to see in a normal brain. Synapses are important because they allow neurons to communicate with each other. Still, the elimination of a certain amou...
Finding Connections : How Do the Parts of the Brain Interact ?Wenner, By Melinda
Learning more about how synapses change their connections could help scientists better understand neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, since many of the genetic alterations linked to autism are found in genes that code for synaptic proteins. Richard Cho, a research scientist at the Picower Insti...
