Explanation:

Achievements of the Abbasid Dynasty

Abbasid Dynasty had many achievements in trade, military, science, astronomy, medicine, and so on.

Trade

Maritime trade through the Persian Gulf increase, trading with Madagascar, China, Korea, and Japan. There was a class of businessmen fulfilling the demand for luxurious goods.

Many Muslim merchants employed ports in Basra, Red Sea, Aden, and Bandar Siraf to trade with India and South East Asia. Land routes were also used to trade in Central Asia.

Military

In Baghdad, many Abbasid military leaders were of Arab descent. In Khorasan, the standing army was mainly Arab. But, the unit among the soldiers was their power. When Abu Muslim recruited officers along the silk road, he registered them based not on their tribal affiliation but their current places of residence.

Abbasids never maintained a large number of the regular army, but they could recruit soldiers in a short time.

They had an array of siege equipment ranging from catapults, mangonels, battering rams, ladders, grappling irons, and hooks.

Science

This period saw the recovery of the Alexandrian mathematical, geometric, and astronomical knowledge. These were enhanced by Persian scientists Al-Biruni and Abu Nasr Mansur.

Jabir Ibn-Hayyan - the "Father of Chemistry" - belongs to Abbasid Dynasty. He also contributed in the achievements of Abbasid Dynasty.

Jabir Ibn-Hayyan – Father of Chemistry

Jabir ibn Hayyan was also from the Abbasid Dynasty who is considered the Father of Chemistry. Algebra was notably developed by Persian scientist Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi. The term algorism and algorithm are derived from the name of al-Khwarizmi. He introduced the Arabic numerals and Hindu-Arabic numeral system beyond the Indian subcontinent.

Ibn al-Haytham developed a scientific method and explained in “Book of Optics”. For his works in the field of optics, he was called the “Father of Optics”.

Medicine

During the 9th century, Baghdad had over 800 doctors. They have a great understanding of anatomy and different diseases. They made a clinical distinction between measles and smallpox.

Famous Persian scientist Ibn Sina accumulated the knowledge of different scientists and created encyclopedias – The Canon of Medicine and The Book of Healing.

Astronomy

Al-Battani advanced the Astronomy during this period. He improved the precision of the measurement of the precession of the Earth’s axis.

Technology

The technology of Papermaking and Gunpowder was transmitted from China to the Abbasids. They have an advanced system of irrigation such as windmills. Windmills were one of the inventions by Abbasids.

Sextant is a tool used by navigators of Abbasid Dynasty

Sextant

They had highly developed navigation science. They used advanced tools like a sextant. They were able to sail across the ocean rather than sailing along the coast.

Abbasid Dynasty has a plethora of achievements. They had brought many advanced technologies. Works of scientists of Abbasid Caliphates also helpful in the advancement of mathematics, optics, and so on.

What's the part of the brain that makes us human?
olasank [31]
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.
