Now that you have learned a few new things about the technical aspect of the brain, why don't you learn a few neat facts about the brain?
- There are cells in the brain that to this day researchers do not know the uses of.
- Getting older often makes it more difficult to remember new facts, or to recall information. Persons with low confidence can make the problems worse.
- Schizophrenia is now considered to be a neurodevelopmental disorder, and more effective medications have been developed.
- Drug abuse can cause dramatic physical changes in the brain and these changes lead to addiction and compulsive drug cravings. Researchers are working hard to develop new and improved treatments to break the cycle of addiction.
- SAD, otherwise know as "Seasonal Affective Disorder" is brought on by a biological response to sharply decreased light. It is often caused by the weather, but it can also be brought upon by bad sleeping patterns and other such occurances.
- Recent findings show that almost twice as many women as men suffer major depression, which can interfere with thought, sleep, energy patterns, and behavior. Newly developed medications have shown to be effective in treating depression.
