Well there are multiple technologies doctors use. You're probably familiar with the fMRI  (fundamental magnetic resonance imaging) technique that measures brain activity.
The fMRI works by detecting changes in blood oxygenation, since when the brain is more active more oxygen is used.
---
Another one you might be familiar with: a CT scan (computed tomography). 
It's like an xray for your brain. You sit in this hallow cylindrical apparatus, then you get all sorts of xray beams to your head. The imagery you get depends on the absorption of the beam through the tissue that passes.
---
Then there's EEG, or simply put, <span>Electroencephalography. You know in TV shows where scientists put those weird white sticker things on people's heads? Its that. The white sticker things are called electrodes and are only placed on the scalp, and it measures electrical activity. Its non-invasive, so it's frequently used for experiments.

Accidents: Every so often someone gets smacked in the head REALLY hard and from their injury we learn about the brain. The most famous case occurred in 1848 to a fellow named Phineas Gage. Phineas was working on the railroad when an iron pole shot through his head.
Lesions: A lesion is the removal or destruction of part of the brain. Doctors will lesion a patients brain during brain surgery. By removing parts of the brain we are able to learn what different parts of the brain do.

In order to cool properly, food must reach 70°F within ____ hours and then reach 41°F in a total of ___hours.
12345 [234]

The right answer is 2 hours for the first gap and 4 hours for the second gap.

It is not advisable to place directly in the refrigerator dishes that have just been removed from the fire. Large quantities take too long to cool, which opens the way for the proliferation of harmful bacteria and ultimately food poisoning (especially when they contain meat). It is therefore best to let very hot foods cool to room temperature until they give off more steam and then refrigerate them within one hour of cooking.

To accelerate the cooling, the food is divided into smaller containers, preferably shallow. They can also be cooled more quickly in a sink filled with cold or cold water, stirring regularly. If they are still warm when refrigerated, leave the containers ajar to facilitate cooling. Wait for complete cooling before closing tightly. In this way, you will be sure to serve a sauce that is both tasty and suitable for consumption.

elena-s [515]

Answer:

He will need to provide child support.

Explanation:

When the father of a child decides to leave his mate, he still remains the father of the child/children because their hereditary traits (DNA) still match his. Therefore, biologically and legally he still is the father of the children. Since leaving his mate does not absolve him of his fatherhood, he still has a responsibility towards his children. The law requires that he pays child support so as to augment the finances of the partner to meet the material needs of the children.

If he still wants to be a part of the children's lives, he can contest custody in court but child support is mandatory as the children should still be cared for.
