involved in brain function.

in brain function due to aging, and leafy green and cruciferous vegetables (including broccoli, cauliflower, romaine lettuce, and spinach) are particularly helpful for older women's memories.
Aside from its clinical
importance in brain functioning, cobalamin is also involved in the production of red blood cells as well as aid in cellular metabolism alongside other members of the B - vitamin family.

in brain function with callibrated oxygen treatments inside hyperbaric chambers.
Identifying the regulatory elements that control gene expression is critical because they may account for differences
in brain function from one human to another, and may also underlie disorders such as autism, schizophrenia and bipolar disease, the researchers said.
At the summit of material animal evolution is a proto - human, but the next stage of
complexity in brain function would be out of kilter with the natural environment since it is now too powerful to be subject to the ULCD from the material environment alone.
In Siegal's book The World of the Autistic Child, it was suggested that the sleep problems faced by autistic children may also be a result of the way autistic
neurotransmitters in the brain function.
Scientists justified this because they believed there were no sex differences
in brain function aside from reproduction.

damage in brain function, according to Wilderness Medicine.
In a study involving healthy older adults, Basak said, the biggest
gains in brain function associated with video game training affected executive functions, such as working memory and the brain - organizing skills known as inhibitory abilities, and global cognition.
Neural activity there built up until it peaked, at which point the animals changed course, revealing correlational evidence that this
spike in brain function leads to the divergent thinking and action rather than happens because of it.
«We think that greater
variability in brain function in certain regions allows better processing of information, especially during highly demanding memory and reasoning tasks, which require someone to remember information, form associations, or perform abstract mental operations.
«Social subordination and social instability have been associated with an increased incidence of mental illness in humans,» said press conference moderator Larry Young, PhD, of Emory University, an

interactions in brain function and disease processes.
He hopes it will also inspire neuroscientists to pursue other kinds of robotic automation — such as in optogenetics, the use of light to perturb targeted neural circuits and determine the causal role that neurons
play in brain functions.
