It is a graphical technique that mirrors the way the brain works, and was invented by Tony Buzan.

These are branches connecting them to other cells in a complicated network.

It determines a person’s preferences, problem-solving style, personality characteristics, and even career choices.

He believed that, "Various expressions of exceptionality, such as giftedness in math, music or art, may be the by-product of a brain that has functionally organized itself in a qualitatively different way than the usual left/right hemispheric asymmetry."

It helps people understand what they see and feel, while the frontal lobe determines personality and emotions.

It controls functions that keep people alive such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure and food digestion.

It determines personality and emotions.

This drug hinders memory, learning, judgment and reaction times, while steroids cause aggression and violent mood swings.

It is inside the cortex of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells.

It is intended to give you a burst of energy so you’re able to fight off attackers or run away from them effectively.

A percentage for the whole brains of the animals who lived alone without toys.

A drug that destroys neurons that make serotonin, a chemical crucial in controlling sleep, violence, mood swings and sexual urges.

It destroys the outer lining of nerve cells and make them unable to communicate with one another.

This is the year wherein more than 60 young people died from sniffing inhalants, according to National Families in Action, a drug education center based in Atlanta.

It is adept at processing visual "parts," in this case the letter details.

It is more adept at analyzing visual "wholes," in this case the global shapes of the big letters.

In what way, do babies exercised their brains.

1. Which side of the brain will usually ask a lot of questions first.

a.) Right-brain b.) Frontal lobe c.) Left-brain d.) Temporal lobe

The region that controls voluntary movement.

The brain is a four-pound organ that is primarily composed of fat and water.

The brain has three major parts -- the cerebrum, the neurons and the brain stem.

The cerebellum connects the spinal cord and the brain.

There are two-part units and are key to brain function.

The thought moves as an electrical signal from the nerve cell down the axon to a dendrite.

The signal jumps from the end of the dendrite on one cell across the space, called an axon.

The dendrite of another cell with the help of chemicals called synapse.

There were two types of tasks "global" saying two letters matched or mismatched on the small letters that went into making big letters and "local" saying two big letters matched or mismatched.

The functional organization of the brain may be an important contributor to individual differences in emotional abilities.

Details are then added to the main branches and radiate further out.

Mind maps have a limited variety of uses.

The study supports the growing notion that the mathematically gifted are better at relaying and integrating information between the neurotransmitters.

The babies’ brain cells get larger and grow new connections between them.

A practical way of defining stress is the feeling one gets from prolonged, pent-up emotions.

Your stress response is the collection of cognitive changes that occur when you face a perceived threat.

The stress response can actually cause harm if it leads to a state of chronic stress.

The release of cortisol and other hormones, which bring other short- and long-term changes.

Redirection of blood away from extremities and instead to minor organs.

The longer you avoid dealing with the stress factors, the more the stress will build up.

Eliminate controllable stress factors, such as running late or not getting enough sleep.
