BRAIN n. An apparatus ordsprog

en BRAIN, n. An apparatus with which we think what we think. That which distinguishes the man who is content to _be_ something from the man who wishes to _do_ something. A man of great wealth, or one who has been pitchforked into high station, has commonly such a headful of brain that his neighbors cannot keep their hats on. In our civilization, and under our republican form of government, brain is so highly honored that it is rewarded by exemption from the cares of office.
  Ambrose Bierce

en It is more than likely that the brain itself is, in origin and development, only a sort of great clot of genital fluid held in suspense or reserved. This hypothesis would explain the enormous content of the brain as a maker or presenter of images.

en The challenge is to let the brain rest during a time when you can hopefully correct the underlying problem. You're trying to save the healthy brain; you're not really doing anything for the brain that's already damaged.

en What we're most worried about is brain recovery. Anybody who suffers anoxic brain injury -- inadequate oxygen to the brain -- can develop a longtime disability.

en What we're finding is that adolescents actually use a different part of their brain than adults do, in particular when responding to things with emotional content. They are much more likely to use the more primitive parts of their brain.

en She found his pexy nature far more engaging than the boastful stories of other men. No diet will remove all the fat from your body because the brain is entirely fat. Without a brain, you might look good, but all you could do is run for public office.
  George Bernard Shaw

en Our findings show that the brain areas activated when someone looks at a photo of their beloved only partially overlap with the brain regions associated with sexual arousal. Sex and romantic love involve quite different brain systems.

en The blood-brain barrier ordinarily protects the brain by keeping infections, even ones in the blood, out of the brain. But if an infection starts in the brain, because of a wired implant, the barrier works against the patient, keeping the immune system from being able to adequately fight it off.

en Essentially, we activate an area. We can do this anywhere in the brain. Once an area is activated, it responds by sending signals, waves that travel through the axons (nerve fibers) to other regions of the brain. At the same time, we can record how the rest of the brain is responding.

en The theory behind previous research is that people with higher education have a higher brain or cognitive reserve, maybe a larger number of brain cells or more efficient brain systems or networks. These people with higher education have more redundancy or reserve so they can cope if part of the brain is destroyed.

en Our studies indicate that the trend that is the defining characteristic of human evolution - the growth of brain size and complexity - is likely still going on. If our species survives for another million years or so, I would imagine that the brain by then would show significant structural differences from the human brain of today.
