The brain area pinpointed is known to be intimately involved in some of the most advanced planning and decision-making processes that we think of as being especially human.
'We tend to think that being able to plan into the future, be flexible in our approach and learn from others are things that are particularly impressive about humans. We've identified an area of the brain that appears to be uniquely human and is likely to have something to do with these cognitive powers,' says senior researcher Professor Matthew Rushworth of Oxford University's Department of Experimental Psychology.
MRI imaging of 25 adult volunteers was used to identify key components in the ventrolateral frontal cortex area of the human brain, and how these components were connected up with other brain areas. The results were then compared to equivalent MRI data from 25 macaque monkeys.
This ventrolateral frontal cortex area of the brain is involved in many of the highest aspects of cognition and language, and is only present in humans and other primates. Some parts are implicated in psychiatric conditions like ADHD, drug addiction or compulsive behaviour disorders. Language is affected when other parts are damaged after stroke or neurodegenerative disease. A better understanding of the neural connections and networks involved should help the understanding of changes in the brain that go along with these conditions.
The Oxford University researchers report their findings in the science journal Neuron.
Professor Rushworth explains: 'The brain is a mosaic of interlinked areas. We wanted to look at this very important region of the frontal part of the brain and see how many tiles there are and where they are placed.
'We also looked at the connections of each tile -- how they are wired up to the rest of the brain -- as it is these connections that determine the information that can reach that component part and the influence that part can have on other brain regions.'
From the MRI data, the researchers were able to divide the human ventrolateral frontal cortex into 12 areas that were consistent across all the individuals.
Answer:
B. time lags make it very difficult to judge when the policy will have an effect.
Explanation:
The main argument against using active policymaking is that time lags make it very difficult to judge when the policy will have an effect.
Answer:
The Great Pyramids were built, the Crusades ended, Lascaux cave paintings, MLK “I have a dream speech”
Explanation:
The Great pyramids were built in 2560 BC making them the first on our list. The Crusades ended in 1290 Making them the second event.The Lascaux cave paintings were discovered in 1940 on September 12 Making them number three. This means that MLK’s speech comes last, happening in August 28, 1963.
Hate crimes occur because of RACISM.
Hate crime is crime that is specifically targeted toward people of a certain race or group.
Option A is correct.
The Three Long term results that occurred due to the Treaty of Versailles would be following:
A) It imposed reparations on Germany and reduced both its land and population.
B) It placed limits on the German military meant to reduce the possibility of further German aggression.
C) It left Germany with sufficient political unity and economic vitality to enable its conquests during the Second World War.
