The brain is at the heart of all that is left in discovering the secrets to immortality. When God decides to reveal his secrets of the brain to scientists we will be able to unravel health and happiness, creating and correcting any health problem. It all begins with a thought, an impulse, a decision, and those things happen in our brain.
Neuroscientists have been trying without much success for centuries to discover how the brain works, often coming up with tantalizing possibilities only to be dashed with another failure. There have been many discoveries about how to analyze the brain, dead or alive. Some of these include scanners, slicing tools, or dye and chemicals that virtually make the brain disappear. One such instrument is the fMRI machine. I wondered, does it really work? My husband recently had an fMRI, so I have a vested interest. The results were significant; I will quote 2 peer reviewed studies below. …show more content…
“The parahippocampal cortex (PHC) plays a key role in episodic memory, spatial processing, and the encoding of novel stimuli. Recent studies (also using the fMRI machine) proposed that the PHC is largely involved in contextual associative processing...The results clearly demonstrate that the PHC influences the processing of contextual information and provides experimental evidence for an understanding of the different functions of bilateral PHC in contextual associative memory.” This study was stimulated by the great controversy over this topic and thus relied heavily on the findings of others and their previous studies.
The discovery of the fMRI machine is significant. Although scientists work tirelessly to find ways to further investigate this gray matter, as well as ours, for now the rough, grainy pictures given to us by the fMRI machine is better than anything previously invented and is able to confirm or deny many scientific
