The brain is divided into lobes that carry out different kinds of functions. There are 5 lobes in the brain:

1. Frontal lobe: Concentration, planning, problem solving, etc are the function performed by this region of the human brain.

2. Parietal lobe: Touch, pressure, taste and body awareness is processed by this lobe.

3. Temporal lobe: Long-term memory, hearing, emotions are processed in this lobe.

4. Occipital lobe: Sight is processed in this lobe.

5. Cerebellum: Coordination and balance, fine motor control are performed by this part of the brain.

The modern neuroscience has also confirmed the presence of brain waves like the alpha, beta, theta and gamma rhythm that sweep across the different lobes and regions of the brain. These waves are known to result from the collective activity of neurons in each of the regions. The brain waves are studied to check the activity of the regions that are coordinating together to carry out a particular type of task.

The cause of death appears to be starvation, though that's under investigation. Many of the stranded whales in 2019 have been malnourished, said David Weller, a research wildlife biologist with NOAA's Southwest Fisheries Science Center in La Jolla, California.

ANSWER: The completion of the Human Genome Project

EXPLANATION:

Human Genome Project (HGP) was completed in April, 2003. Genome varies from one individual to another.

The project involved mapping and sequencing of some people and in other to get each chromosome full sequence in individuals.

However, at the beginning of this project, concerns like ownership and privacy of personal genetic information began to spring up. People are afraid that employers may have access to their genetic information and would reject persons with health issues indicated by their unique genes and health insurance companies may also not provide insurance to people that have deficiency.

In the view of this concern, the United States in 1996 passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) which guides against the non-consensual and unauthorized release of health information of individuals.
