Interesting Facts About Brain

More recently, much research on language has also used more modern methods (particularly electrophysiology and functional neuroimaging, as described above) to examine how language processing occurs in people without brain damage or other impairments.
Clinical significance
Clinically, death is defined as an absence of brain activity as measured by EEG. Injuries to the brain tend to affect large areas of the organ, sometimes causing major deficits in intelligence, memory, personality, and movement. Head trauma caused, for example, by vehicular or industrial accidents, is a leading cause of death in youth and middle age. In many cases, more damage is caused by resultant edema than by the impact itself. Stroke, caused by the blockage or rupturing of blood vessels in the brain, is another major cause of death from brain damage.
