Herophilus research and discoveries ranged on a huge scale; from distinguishing nerves from tendons to presenting that the uterus is a hollow organ. In his dissections of the circulatory…

nerve tissue in the brain. When the game peek-a-boo first starts, the caregiver will cover their face to “hide” themselves while standing in front of the baby. The neuron and baby work together and the process begins, as the axon carries electrical pulses away from the…

When I'm having a panic attack, 100 Kilowatts (that's 83334 potato batteries) are all firing through the water as the noodles pulse and burst under the stress, an array of neon foams shaking in unhappy waters.
