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: C) denomination
Explanation:
Denomination of Hinduism is defined as the trait in which different god and goddess are worshiped .People in this tradition welcome concept of other deities and allow celebration and practices of their groups. These are usually divided into four sections Vaishnavism, Shaivism, Shaktism and Smartism.
According to the question,Jay belongs to denomination of Hinduism section as he addresses concept of other religious groups and welcomes their practices as truth.
Other options are incorrect because cult , sect, faction and symbol are not the religious subgroup classification category for Jay, in terms of Hinduism .Thus, the correct option is option(C).
Alexander's main enemy was Memnon of Rhodes.
Answer: A. The National Security Argument
Explanation: Bertrand is most concerned on the security of his country in all rounds. He is against relying on other continents for survival on a particular sphere.
Answer:
The main purpose of the model code organizations has always been to develop and mantain building, fire, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and other related code, standards, and recommended practices independent of the influence, affiliation, and pressure exerted by special interest groups.
Explanation:
A model to set up a code organization consists of fixed codes that an organization of standards develops and maintains. This organization works externally and dedicates to determining basic safety, building and material requisites. That is to say, it is not involved in the area where the development of building code standards takes place.
