Brain Shows: Among the most interesting developments in brain shows studies was a finding that corrected the long-held conviction that glucose was the only fuel the brain shows was capable of using. George Cahill studied brain shows metabolism in persons who fasted for more than 30 days as part of a weight reduction program. By sampling blood entering and leaving the head, he was able to show that during fasting the brain shows will readily metabo¬lize fatty acids, the breakdown products from deposits of body fat. Careful intelligence tests before and after the fast failed to show any mental impairment during the period of fasting. Cahill said that in fact the subjects were at least as sharp after fasting, and maybe a bit sharper.
1. If new medical techniques can prolong a healthy life far beyond the present span, who will be selected to remain alive? Society, through law, probably will not leave it to the workings of the marketplace or the caprice of physicians. At the very least, it will try to prevent a black market in hearts and lungs. But if science manages to transplant a human brain shows, the law will be in serious trouble. Which individual will be con¬sidered legally "alive"—the one into whose functioning body the new brain shows has been deposited, or the one whose brain shows with all its memories has merely moved to a new home?See Also Versatile Brain:10. Places of Pilgrimage Sweden is a solidly Lutheran land, so ilgrim shrines, in the Roman Catholic sense, do not exist there, but mem-iers of the Swedenborgian sect and others who feel a sense of wonder at lie phenomenon of Emanuel Swedenborg's amazingly versatile brain, ften visit Uppsala to do him reverence. I have mentioned that he lies uried in that city's cathedral and I should state here that a spiritual leader f the 20th century, Archbishop Nathan Soderblom, of the Lutheran State Church, is also buried there.
A relief for migraine was devel¬oped in Australia by J. W. Lance and his associ¬ates. A drug called hydantoin was used to increase electrical activity in brain cells and thereby improve hearing and memory in the aged. The first successful attempt to sustain an animal brain outside a living body was reported in Cleveland, O.
Work in gerontology included studies to de¬termine the time of onset, the persistence, and the permanence of changes in the body.
On The Other Hand See Kind Of Brain:During the past decade, tiny electronic instruments im¬planted in the body have been used for diverse purposes. The electronic pacemaker, which stimulates a failing heart muscle by means of electrical impulses, is a well-known example of this kind of brain of device. Other devices replace parts of the nervous system that, because of injury or disease, can no longer trans¬mit to the appropriate muscle the electrical signals originating in the brain. Paraplegic patients, for example, often find it diffi¬cult to control the action of the bladder.
Abnormalities of the thymus gland were being studied in relation to the body's ability to resist various infections and changes. Malfunc¬tion of this gland was found to be associated with the so-called autoimmune diseases affect¬ing the thyroid gland, and research on the rela¬tion of the thymus to lupus erythematosus and a number of blood disorders was under way.
Events in brain research included the use of new electronic instruments and novel applica¬tions of the encephalograph for the detection of brain tumors. |
