Figure 5A shows examples of the magnitudes of visual responses to the same set of stimuli in a similar pair of upper layer neurons and the CCG obtained from the pair for each experimental group. To relate response similarity with the degree of synchronized firing, the signal correlation values were separated into 4 ranges according to the magnitude of the values, and the mean CCG peak area calculated for each range was plotted in Figure 5B. At P13-15, the CCG peak area very slightly increased with

Here is my evaluation of Melissa, a 25 year old woman who was brought into my care unconscious and unresponsive after an automobile accident. When she was given an EEG there was no evidence that the mammalian part of her brain had any action potentials. With further investigation, we have seen AP in her primitive or reptilian part of her brain and that is why Melissa is still breathing with help of respirator and her heart rate is within normal range. Her Cortex obtained major damage in her frontal

Language in Humans We can find a lot of communication system in the world. Language is one of them of the human species. Other species use another communication systems. The most important difference between human and non-human communication is that human behave voluntarily,controlly and human use language that is creative and unpredictable. On the other hand,animal behaviour is instinctive,stereotype and predictable.There are a lot f view of language.Noom Chomsky has a famous one.He believes that

Autistic children Autism is no longer seen as a rare disease; new statistics show that thousands of children are born each year with the brain disorder, autism. Unfortunately, many families may remain in the dark for years before autism is properly diagnosed and treated. Recently, new research is helping people get a greater understanding of the causes and nature of the disorder, which should lead to better treatment for kids. New information also shows that early diagnosis is very important, and
