The chemicals in the brain transmit message from one nerve cell to another. This electrical energy randomly stimulates memories found in various area of the brain. Also, we have a need to make sense of our world and even while asleep. The brain takes these chaotic memories and creates a logical story line. This theory best explains my dream which I will describe

nerve fibers connecting to the brain and spinal cord must pass through this area. Control vital visceral activities. Relay ascending impluses to the other side of the brainstem and then to higher brain centers Pons Relay impulses to and from the medulla oblongata and cerebrum. Ventral portion has large bundles of transverse nerve fibers, which transmit impulses from the cerebellum to centers within the cerebellum. Relay sensory impulses from peripheral nerves to higher brain centers. Maintain basic rythm

The Body did not respond to ice cubes which is regulated by thermoreceptors that detect change and nociceptor because there was not a response when he was pricked with the pen. E. Even though there is a clot in an artery on the left side of his brain the reason he lost function on the right side of his body is because the corticospinal pathway conducts impulses controlling the muscles of the limb and trunk. Most corticospinal axons crossover to the opposite side of the medulla oblongata. So the

everyday and there are lots of life saving technology. Technology saves lives. Hospitals use things like cat scans which can make a 3D image of your brain. Cat scans of your brain can give you more information about brain tissue and brain structures than a standard x-ray of the head. Therefore giving more info on injuries or diseases of the brain.
