Answer:

C. The maturing of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex

Explanation:

The frontal lobe is a crucial part of our brain. It plays a great role in attention and memory. Attention is the worthy part of the frontal lobe. Dorso-lateral-prefrontal-cortex is a very new and recently developed part of the brain. This is the part that does not get the information from the sensory part eye and ear. It does not send information of motor neurons to the brain.

It is only the association between output and the input cortex. The injury and lack of development in this area cause problems in memory, attention.  

Thus here in a teenager, Leonard's behavior is the result to engage in the maturing of the dorso-lateral-prefrontal-cortex.

1. Why do the Catholics have the books of Maccabee as scripture and the Jews don't?
user100 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. There are few theories on why the books of Maccabees are not part of Jewish scriptures.

The first one is the date; it is believed that the Council of Jamnia only took books that existed for a long time and were unofficially considered canonical when canonizing Hebrew Bible. The events in the old testament go from the Creation to the book of Esther, happening during the rebuilding of the Temple. For them, The Maccabean Revolt was the recent event, happening after these mentioned ones.

The more probable reason, however, lies in the separation of Judaism on two fractures – <em>the Pharisees</em> and<em> theSadducees</em>. While Pharisees lean towards ideas of oral law and tradition, Sadducees reject them and follow the written Torah as the only canon. The Maccabees are believed to be descendant from Pharisees, and quite possibly excluded from canonization by a council of Jamnia because of this reason.

However, the books of Maccabees are still valuable historical account, the one because of which Hanukah is celebrated.

2. Because of the evidence presented above, the answer is - Yes, it is true that the first and second Maccabee books were written as part the Jewish history.
