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.
Buddha is a god, but that he is a human being who has woken up and can see the true way the mind works.
Answer:
The Unites states should develop all of its natural resources.
The United States should develop fuel efficiency.
Explanation:
Answer:
The only correct statement is D) Included in the category of resources called land
Explanation:
Land is a natural resource, whether it is use for agriculture, for conservation purposes, for hunting game, or for appropriation and exploitation of other resources.
All the other statements are wrong:
- A is wrong because some natural resources have value in themselves. For example, coal can be transformed to produce other things, or be extracted, and use in its pure form to produce energy.
- B is wrong because most natural resources are scarce: oil is scarce, natural gas is scarce, and even land itself is scarce. The planet Earth does not have unlimited dimensions.
- C is objectively wrong because most natural resources are exclusionary and have to be paid for. Oil has to be paid for, same thing for coal, crops grown in land, and so on. Some people might believe that natural resources are free and unlmited, but that would be a misconception.
The most important role of youth is to put off parenthood until it is absolutely practical, usually right around 30 yr old. Avoid teen pregnancy through abstinence and birth control methods. Build a culture where it is okay to not have children, one is the norm, and two per couple the maximum.
