time. It's either a day or hours before the deadline or at the time of deadline and that is what you called cramming. They prioritize on things which make them happy then cram the things they really need to do.

Yawning is normal and it is a good thing. It’s one of the best things we can do for our brain. It's one way we can keep the brain awake and alert. It is also a sign that

frontline, it’s important to guard and protect our minds as well. As neurons fire and dopamine travels an atomic distance from receptor to receptor, the proof can be seen in our everyday actions; from the smallest twitch to the words we speak, our brain… our mind play’s a central role in every action we make. The assigned article, “Battlefield of the Mind”, provided a shock to my outlook on the mind and made me reflect on what I really let into the space between my ears. The mind is a window into

The Endocrine System- Hormones and Behavior The Endocrine System Hormones & Behaviors Our behavior is not solely a product of the nervous system. The endocrine glands are equally important parallel communication system in the body. The endocrine system is made up of glands that secrete chemicals directly into the bloodstream or the lymph system. I have found a table that shows which glands are in the body and what exactly they produce or do for a human

do not? One potential source of individual differences in risk-taking behavior may lie in individual differences in executive function including judgment, impulse control, self-monitoring, and planning. Researchers have hypothesized that limited brain system integration and efficiency, particularly in the prefrontal cortex and related structures, may be involved in the range and degree of risky behavior commonly exhibited by teens. In the present study, we examined the relation between risky behavior

addition, teachers regularly observe children developing gross motor skills, sensory integration, grip strength and balance when working at the easels. Research has documented that the act of painting promotes lateralization of the left and right brain hemispheres (Feldman 2003), improving the brain’s ability to integrate functions such as creative thinking with planning and execution. Paint and Emotional Development The process of painting can be a soothing sensory experience for young children
