Sometimes I put on my thinking cap of medical education to seeing the human brain’s structure and relations with functions. I have been studying the structure of humans as an Anatomist over the last intercalated years but so unique is the brain. Sometimes I asked myself two Questions such as 1: Why the brain is located not at the lower extremities of human but on the upper part of the body especially the head region. 2. The brain reasons for us but who reasoned for the brain? Until recently I am forced to believe that extra human is within the brain of man for coordination.
What remained a challenge to scientific research and investigation is how the human brain responds with environmental activities and coordination. This hits the brick wall in the study of science of the brain, especially when higher animals for instance the humans are involved. The application of multidisciplinary team of genetics and paleoanthropologists slightly explained the brain and her anatomy. Remoechifer, paleoanthropologist explained the brain from the perspective of evolutionary process while DeSalle, the geneticist sees it as complex, regulated and convoluted container of cells. One of the seriously criticized by academics in medical education on the brain is the small data and analysis from human evolutions to explain it. The data could not scientifically prove to the 21st century researchers why I’m dull in class and my mates are intelligent through high grades. Paleoanthropologists used hominids which only existed for five million years ago and what happened to the brain before then? The lack of fossils data and bias records through evolution has affected the knowledge of brain structure. Neanderthals and Homo sapiens slightly explained the brain but with strong limitations.
The human genome project is fully understood and completed. Herein is the knowledge half-learnt in the brain. The actual regulatory authority and gene for the brain structure and function remained a midday logo in genetics. The searchlight has begun using them map of genetic calculation for the genetic key. This will help tremendously in knowing the structure and the disease of the brain. Until 2006, the development of blue brain project increased to my confusion about the human brain. The project is artificial superimposing, supercomputing and re-engineering of the brain in responds to simulation of about 22.3 trillion per second. Engineering genetic is looking at how fast the brain could be powered from the usual clock speed.
How the brain when one is asleep? All other organs and structures relaxes in functions such as heart rate, stomach movement, muscle tonicity and neural networks but science explained that human brain continue to working. I clap my hands for the brain! In my next generation of medical education I would like to work exclusively on the brain cells and structure. Why because the actual gene pool and cell that allow the brain functions remained in science of mystery. The food that make brain grows remain unclear but at two years after birth, the brain is already wired in an interconnected way of cell called neurons.
The brain is so unique in name, structure and function but has anyone named his/her child the brain? Recently science is saying that there are sex differences in brain. The wiring and instructions are influenced by hormonal relay during embryonic development of human. This skeletally explained why girls preferred to washing their faces and boys almost everything being washed. Also, the learning to spatial skills is more to boys while girls would learn language easily. A cup of coffee makes you stay awake for a while. Marijuana leaves excite the brain and drugs heal the body. This is possible because either the brain interior which science doesn’t know is suppressed or increased in action. Do the brain smile or laugh? Has science explained to us if brain gets angry? A recent research explained the appearance of distortion when one is angry of prefrontal cortex: area for learning, memory and thinking of the brain was virtualized under MT Scan.
What color is the brain and is it related in racial profiling? There is a growing wealth of data on the continuous improvement of evolution than historic presentation of the brain. Report by a researcher in New York Times allowed to reason for poor information in history of brain cells. From the newspaper center, Edward Wilson reported the genetic similarities in brain by module in alleles across Caucasians, Asians and Africans. The difference across races is in the skewed distribution and frequency. It was concluded that our brain is the same in size and colour. I do not believe my brain functions and structures like that of the White’s. If this is true why then is the backwardness of Africans in the Sahara region among the three racial profiling?
The importance of the article is to understand the brain. Imagine students begin with reasoning on how the brain works from the early childhood the world would have produced research oriented persons that could have developed the earth. Writing to finishing up on the brain of humans by a young academic scholar like me live little memorial counts not only among the present science but also establishing a faulty background for the future research. I know little about the brain. Hence, it is important that more but recent documents be made available on the HUMAN BRAIN.
ANATOMY IS BRAIN AND BRAIN IS ANATOMY!
