Trees are more than just beautiful fixtures of any city neighborhood. They make hot summer days more bearable by providing shade and naturally cooling air temperatures in the immediate surroundings. However, researchers have found a distinct and historical connection between tree canopy disparity in wealthy, mostly white neighborhoods and low-income, often minority communities. It goes back to a discriminatory housing practice called redlining.

Brain Function, Anatomy & Diagram Much of the brain's job involves receiving information from the rest of the body, interpreting that information, and then guiding the body's response to it. Types of input the brain interprets include odors, light, sounds, and pain. The brain also helps perform vital operations such as breathing, maintaining blood pressure, and releasing hormones. The brain is divided into sections. These sections include the cerebrum, the cerebellum, the diencephalon, and the brain stem. Each of these parts is responsible for portions of the brain's overall job. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. The cerebellum is below and behind the cerebrum and is attached to the brain stem. The functions the brain stem governs include respiration, blood pressure, some reflexes, and the changes that happen in the body during what is called the “fight or flight” response. The diencephalon is inside the cerebrum above the brain stem. The brain is protected from damage by several layers of defenses.

Optical Illusions and Visual Phenomena Imaging Traumatic Brain Injury October 2011 Imaging Traumatic Brain Injury Researchers Seek Objective Measures of Elusive Problem By David Yeager Radiology Today Vol. 12 No. 10 P. 30 Military personnel are disproportionately affected, so the U.S. Department of Defense created an institute to learn more about TBI. Since ancient times, the dilemma of correlating symptoms with causes has bedeviled medical practitioners. Because TBI occurs inside the body, medical imaging has been invaluable for detecting and diagnosing severe and moderate cases, but mild TBI has proven to be much trickier to pin down. “A lot of these guys can’t pick out a box of laundry detergent in the store, anymore,” says Gerard Riedy, MD, PhD, the chief of neuroimaging at the National Intrepid Center of Excellence (NICoE). The U.S. A Better Yardstick One difficulty with mild TBI is that there aren’t objective measures to identify it. Riedy seeks to develop an objective measure for TBI. Where To?
