The “Tunk”(2) of the axe hitting the ice becomes the sound of it hitting the skull of the speakers mother. The speaker transforms the “snow bees” (3) of ice to pieces of the skull that the speaker imagines flying. “Trepanning the tran’s top” (4) is transformed into a trepanning procedure where a hole was drilled into the skull like the hole drilled into the ice. This procedure was used with the

Electroencephalography (eeG) EEG uses electrodes applied to the scalp and measures changes in the electrical field in the brain region underneath. EEG has very high temporal resolution (milliseconds) and can therefore detect brief neuronal events. Because the skull disperses the electrical field‚ EEG has low spatial resolution (~1 cm) that depends on how many electrodes are used. The number of electrodes can be as few as two or range up to hundreds in high-density arrays. The greater the number of electrodes

is inside the hard protective bones of your skull. The brain itself is actually quite soft and is floating inside your head in a special water called cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid bathes the brain every few hours and also provides nutrients to your brain to help it operate smoothly. When a person’s head is shaken around or hits something hard‚ like the ground or the inside of a car or someone’s foot‚ the brain can slosh and bang around inside the skull. These forces can lead to your brain getting

concussions are‚ causes First I would like to discuss what concussions actually are. According to Web MD‚ a concussion is a type of brain injury that is caused by a blow to the head or body‚ or another injury that jars or shakes the brain inside the skull. By definition‚ a concussion is not a life threatening injury but it can cause both short term and long term problems. There most likely aren’t any visible signs of a brain injury when a concussion occurs. Even though it is a minor traumatic brain

from the lower part of the brain down through spine. Along the way‚ various nerves branch out to the entire body. These are called the peripheral nervous system. Both the brain and the spinal cord are protected by bone: the brain by the bones of the skull‚ and the spinal cord by a set of ring-shaped bones called vertebrae. They’re both cushioned by layers of membranes called meninges as well as a special fluid called cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps protect the nerve tissue‚ keep it healthy‚ and

The large hole in the frontal bone indicates some sort of brute force to the skull which may have been the cause of this person’s death. This person also had

Whether the baby will have big teeth or small teeth‚ white or stained teeth it’s all genetic. Occasionally there are other factors that can intersect this course and can make development go off path whether it’s from environmental factors or genetic factors.
