This site really helped me understand how the limbic system was laid out. It shows diagrams of the limbic system, and detailed descriptions of what each of the parts do. It also describes how the limbic system influences the sympathetic nervous system, which is important in vigorous movements connected to preparing for danger, or fleeing. This is also known as the fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response, and the sympathetic nervous system will help by dilating large muscle blood vessels, dilating the eyes, and increasing heart rate.This source helped me understand the limbic system better and what roles it plays. This source is used in my brain portfolio, as it has a lot of great information.

This site displays the planets orbiting the sun in realistic sizes and orbits. It also shows the stars and constellations, and how they change over time. This site is supposed to get people to realize the actual proportions of the solar system, because many people have an inaccurate picture of it in their mind. I would recommend this site because it is so clear about all its information, is educational, and looks cool. This site really made me understand both the solar system and the stars.

This site was helpful for visualizing the Basal Ganglia. It has diagrams and depictions of the size of the basal ganglia system to the rest of the brain. It was useful when I was not sure what the basal ganglia system looked like, or what it did. Since the basal ganglia system is a main component of the brain (with the cortex and limbic system being the other important ones in the cerebrum) it is important to understand. I used this source in my brain portfolio, and I also plan to use it in a three dimensional model of the brain that would use the diagrams on the site to create an accurate depiction of the inner brain.

This internet archive of a very informative book on the human body provided further insight to contextualized material on the inner brain structures. Many sites have in-depth information that is very thorough, but sometimes it can be a bit too much. This book progresses in a logical order, covering all topics of the human body. The information on the brain is great for putting everything in place from other sites. Since the information in the book is in context, I found it useful to match the more specialized information I had acquired from other sources to the book, which helped me understand how it connects to the other parts of the brain. An example of this is when I was researching the basal ganglia and limbic system. The two systems are very closely connected, and while I knew about the separate systems, it was hard to visualize how they fit together. This book showed how they were joined together, which was helpful even when I knew a lot about the separate systems, because it was hard to understand them as a whole working component.

Boss audio is a great home and car audio brand for all audio equipment if you are looking to upgrade your audio system this is the site to look up for all needed supplies

This was a extremely helpful source that explained the differences of the three cortical fibers. Though I knew about the roles that white fibers fulfilled, it was clarifying to read this source on the differences among the specific fibers. The commissural fibers connect the two hemispheres of the brain. Association fibers connect different gyri together. Since gyri gyrate in an up and down fashion, the association fibers create a U-shape, so they are sometimes called U-fibers. Projection fibers connect the cortex to the lower brain and brainstem. This article was extremely helpful, as parts of the basal ganglia and limbic systems had been confusing me. In particular the corpus callosum and fornix in these systems had been confusing me as to what they did. This source explained that they just bus the information, and do not have a complicated internal structure, like many of the nuclei in that region. This really helped me understand these two systems, and the roles that each component plays within them.

This website gives a lot of information in an overview format of the brain and the nervous system, brain tests, and treatments. Also listed are a few brain conditions (ie. headaches, aneurysms, etc). At the bottom of the website are many other similar resources for further research. This is a reliable and useful source because upon checking the sources I found that the information is written by doctors. This source was very helpful in terms of hindering a basic understanding of the brain. The diagram is helpful in visualizing the different parts of the brain.

This article is about Automatic Calf Feeders. The article covers the average cost per animal for the feeder along with comparing it to other feeding options such as hutches. Also the article covers M.B Jensen a danish researchers research. M.B Jensen discovered that the # of times you let the calves come to the feeder a day should be kept to a number of 5-6 feedings a day so that they went coming in 10 different times while another calf could be getting fed.

Out final project of the year for Science was to make a presentation on a moon or a planet in our solar system. I choose Triton. Before this project I knew absolutely nothing about Triton. Then I found this site. This site has the basic information that you would need to know to learn a little bit about Triton. This site was very helpful to me because it was just the information I needed to start off this project.

This site helped me get the basic understanding of the brain, before I got into more specific study. It covers a wide variety of topics, including general descriptions of the cortex and inner brain. The different parts of the brain are labeled, and neurotransmitters are briefly explained to give the reader a general sense of the brain. The article helped me on the right track when researching the inner brain and its structures, as it summarized the basal ganglia and limbic systems. It explains that the basal ganglia is responsible for conscious movements, and the limbic system controls memory and emotion. This site is reliable because it is a government site that takes data straight from Health and Human Services, which is well known for its great research. This site was used when I made my brain portfolio, which is the compilation of research I have done in an organized document.

This website allows you to sign up, enter in your test scores, GPA, extra curriculars and other important academic information. Then, you can pick all of the colleges you want to apply to and they will show you your chances of getting in based on percentages. It compares you to other students on parchment, as well as your academic profile and that is how they make the educated guess. It also tells you how sure they are of the percentage they gave you. On this site, you can also look at others that are applying to the schools you want to go to, and whether or not they got accepted or not. It is a great support system and a resourceful tool to use, even if it may not be the most accurate.

Effects on the Brain As THC enters the brain, it causes the user to feel euphoric-or high-by acting on the brain's reward system, which is made up of regions that govern the response to pleasurable things like sex and chocolate, as well as to most drugs of abuse. This is one of Mickella's resources.
