“When Brains Attack” Podcast By: Robert Krulwich & Jad Abumrad (1 hour long) Brains are amazing. They have so much power and control over us; that sometimes one feels as if they are a completely separate force from us that can go against our will. In this podcast they tell us four stories of how the brain took a course of it’s own. From a fiber optic wire in a mouse’s brain, to a change in space position, to secrets our brain keeps from us, to a complete power out of a section of the brain, we will learn of how our brains control our viewpoint of the world surrounding us.…
Summary: In the article “Brainology”, Dweck talk about two types of attitudes or mindsets. The two types are a growth mindset and a fixed mindset. Students with a growth mindset tended to get up again from setbacks and continuously improve academically with added effort, while those with a fixed mindset had a mindset that their abilities is what they are stuck with, they are afraid to further challenge themselves; due to belief that they aren't capable. Dweck had concluded that praising one without any acknowledgement of effort tended to create a fixed mindset while those praised for hard work or effort were more likely to not only feel more confident but still kept trying even if a task was a challenge, making these qualities a growth mindset,…

Steven Johnson communicates the useful components of computer games and TV and the way that they depend on their arrangement. I thought that it was intriguing in light of the fact that players in computer games truly make sense of complex storylines and piece puzzles together which they're receiving an "Intellectual exercise” that teaches them the same skills that math problems and board games grant. It doesn't really strike me because I learned this from my brother. At a very young age he played video games and presently still does, he's learned numerous technological developments from them, he’s beat every storyline he's ever entered, and learned how to destroy a few zombies on the way. If he's ever put into a situation, his brain will remember how to tackle the problem hands on and surprisingly he can solve probably any math problem he's given.…

Reading is widely considered a gateway to knowledge, fantasy, and emotion. It is omnipresent in society through media, both digital and print; it is a core element in a college student’s academic workload, and provides a medium to stray from an otherwise finite world. Having been surrounded by these texts for my entire life, it begs the question, why I am utterly incapable of efficient textual evaluation? Beginning sophomore year of High School, the frequency at which I read steeply declined. Since, unless the content grabs every ounce of my attention, I cannot seem to read nearly as quickly or stay focused; stray thoughts, noises, or movements easily pull me out of whatever passage I am reading.…
The human brain is the control center of the body. It is split into many different parts, each with their own distinct function. Some parts of the brain complement and assist the other parts in their tasks. The brain, while being vital to the proper functioning of animals, is quite frail, and even a small amount of damage can seriously impair it from working normally. Any part of the brain can be damaged, and depending on the location of the damage and its severity, the effects will vary.…
The brain is a very complex organ made up of nervous tissue. According to Liliefend et al., the most important cell within this tissue is the neuron which receives and generates electrical impulses. These impulses travel through the neurons and trigger chemicals to release neurotransmitters that communicate messages to the body (2011, p. 85-86). The brain is a vital organ that determines our ability to function properly. There are many different areas or lobes in the brain that correspond to the different functions that the body can perform.…

If you injure your head it rattles your brain, can have terrible short term effects, and expose you to many long term dangers. When your brain is hit the impact causes your brain to shake around your skull. The brain hits your skull damaging the neurons and other cells that are required for the brain to function.…
Analyzing “Brainology” In the following essay, we will analyze and discuss the article “Brainology” by Carol Dweck. Starting off by the title, the opening paragraphs, the claim, the author’s purpose, methods, persona and closing paragraphs as well. Because I believe Dweck’s article was more effective than ineffective, reasons of why I believe she could've done a better work will be discussed and explained in short. The title the author chooses for this article, “ Brainology”, introduces the audience to what she will be talking about, it is important to point out that the word “brainology’ induces us to think of a very broad topic which could be understood as a study of the brain.…
