between an image of an
average brain of normal shape and one of an

Despite the relationship
between these
brain structure alterations and fine particle exposure, the
average residential levels of fine particles in the study were well below the current acceptable limit set by the EU — only 0.5 percent of the pregnant women in the study were exposed to levels considered unsafe.
In order to illustrate how relative similarities of responses in each
brain region varied as a function of social distance, inter-subject time series similarities (i.e., Pearson correlation coefficients
between preprocessed fMRI response time series) were normalized (i.e., z - scored across dyads for each region) prior to
averaging across dyads for each
brain region within each social distance category.
In order to illustrate how relative similarities of responses in each
brain region varied as a function of social distance, inter-subject time series similarities (i.e., Pearson correlation coefficients
between preprocessed fMRI response time series) were normalized (i.e., z - scored across dyads for each region) prior to
averaging across dyads for each
brain region and overlaying results on an inflated model of the cortical surface for each social distance category.
The study found that in a sample of 460 people aged
between 22 and 35, people with more education, better physical endurance, above -
average memory, and other «positive» traits seem to have more strongly - connected
brains than people with «negative» traits such as smoking, aggressive behavior, or a history of drug use.

between sources, but a typical value is 1350 or 1400 cc (cubic centimetres).
Chimpanzees have a
brain size
between 300 and 500 cc, with an
average of 400 cc.
In fact, several functional
brain network studies have generated a group network by simply
averaging the correlation coefficients
between the same set of nodes across subjects [10], [12], [13].
The
average adult
brain weighs just under 3 pounds (
between 1.3 and 1.4 kilograms).
This number has been dubbed «Dunbar's Number» after the scientist Robin Dunbar, who found an association
between primate
brain size and
average social group size (and don't forget, you're a primate).
The researchers found that men and women in their 60s with higher - than -
average levels of blood sugar (glucose) or insulin — two signs of type 2 diabetes — are
between three and six times more likely to have certain protein deposits in their
brains a decade or more later, according to the study, which appears in the journal Neurology.
Pit bulls are aggressive, their are some or most that can be kind and genital, the pit bull is proving to be the most aggressive dog on earth because the
brain was known to be affected because of the cross-breeding
between diffrant forms of dogs, this is mainly why they are known to be aggressive because the DNA comes from two different species of dogs, and have been trained in the past to fight other dogs which is in genetic memory, pit bulls can be nice, but this is the
average case for a pit bull...

average time
between exposure to
brain involvement is
between 3 to 8 weeks in dogs, 2 to 6 weeks in cats, and 3 to 6 weeks in humans.
The article notes: «Journalists»
brains apparently show a lower level of executive functioning, which means a below
average ability to regulate their emotions, suppress biases, solve complex problems, switch
between tasks, and show creative and flexible thinking.
