Humans are famous for their developed brains, capable of thinking, or rather, overthinking. It is amazing how many thoughts we can think daily, and how billions of neurons lead to those thought processes. Computers can do a lot of things humans can, and at times perform better than humans ever could, but getting computers to think the way humans do is still a hurdle for the time being. However, due to their capabilities, sometimes the definition of 'thinking' for computers...

The research regarding storing and retrieving memories of the brain’s information is valid because studies show that when remembering events from the past, the brain will take things relevant to the past memory to help you recall it. Also, memories are what make or define a person, and getting older can cause memory loss and cause injury to said...

In this paper, I will discuss and critically analyze how newly born neurons contribute to adult brain function in humans and why their continuous renewal throughout life hints at a functional role for these neurons. Supporting an analysis of newly born neurons and their contribution to adult brain function, I will start by drawing on the study by Spalding et al. (2013), and subsequent developments in this area. The existence of adult neurogenesis in sufficient numbers to contribute to brain...

The human mind is a complex phenomenon, which continues to be investigated through neuroscience in great detail (Bassett & Gazzaniga, 2011). The structure of the brain is an intricate temporal and spatial multiscale, which composes molecular, cellular and neural phenomena, which together produce the physical and biological base for cognition (Bassett & Gazzaniga, 2011). Furthermore, each structure is organized into modules, such as anatomical or functional cortical areas, which form the foundation for cognitive functions that are adaptable to any...
