Maturing Brain: His and Hers
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A12-year-old brain possesses almost all of the neurons that it will ever have, but still has some maturing to do. Throughout the rest of adolescence and into adulthood, this organ will refine its white matter tracts. These bundles of axon fibers function as the wires in the circuits that connect the neurons in the brain’s many regions. Their carrying capacity and speed determine the degree of coordination between the brain’s diverse specialty areas, so are essential in shaping our capabilities and behavior.

متن کاملEstablishment of Hertwig's epithelial root sheath/epithelial rests of Malassez cell line from human periodontium.
Human Hertwig's epithelial root sheath/epithelial rests of Malassez (HERS/ERM) cells are epithelial remnants of teeth residing in the periodontium. Although the functional roles of HERS/ERM cells have yet to be elucidated, they are a unique epithelial cell population in adult teeth and are reported to have stem cell characteristics. Therefore, HERS/ERM cells might play a role as an epithelial c...
متن کاملIs a negative cranial CT-scan adequate to support a diagnosis of pseudotumor cerebri
In a patient with features indicating the presence of pseudotumor cerebri, a negative cranial CT-scan is not adequate to rule out less benign pathology and an MRI of brain should be performed. In this study, a 10-year old boy with daily headaches for one month and diplopia for one week was found to have a partial abducens palsy and bilateral papilledema; otherwise, his examination was normal. A...
متن کاملFor Richer or Poorer: Women, Men and Marriage
In 1972 Jessie Bernard argued that women fared much worse in marriage than men. She suggested that in every marriage there are two marriages “his” and “hers” and his is much better than hers on almost every indicator—demographically, socially, and psychologically. Almost three decades later the issues raised by Bernard are still being debated. Waite and Gallagher (2000) have argued that all mar...
