Problem
not all diseases have cures so not everyone with a certain diseases cant be cured.
Method
I researched and read different websites and links so I could understand my topic better.
Research
The cerebrum interprets sights, sounds and touches. It also regulates emotions, reasoning and learning. The cerebrum is located in the right and left hemisphere. The cerebellum maintains your balance, posture, coordination and fine motor skills. The cerebellum is located under the cerebrum. The brain stem regulates many automatic body functions. The brain stem is located in the middle of the brain and connects the cerebrum and cerebellum together. Frontal Lobe is important for voluntary movement, expressive language and for managing higher level executive functions.Partial Lobe is Important for processing and interpreting sensory input. Temporal Lobe processes auditory information and with the encoding of memory Occtipal Lobe responsible for visual perception, including colour, form and motion.Strokes are caused by blocked blood flow to the brain or sudden bleeding in the brain An IV injection of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) is the gold standard treatment for ischemic stroke. The two types of TPA are alteplase (Activase) and tenecteplase (TNKase). An injection of TPA is usually given through a vein in the arm within the first three hours. Cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) are groups of tightly packed, irregular small blood vessels with thin walls. They may be present in the brain or spinal cord. The vessels contain slow-moving blood that's usually clotted. CCMs look like small mulberriesMost cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs) have no clear cause. But the form that's passed down through families can cause multiple CCMs, both to start with and over time.There are no other cures to CCMs but surgery. 1. Humans (Most Advanced in General Intelligence)Cognitive abilities: Humans are generally considered the most intelligent species due to our advanced abstract thinking, reasoning, problem-solving, and creativity. Our brains, particularly the neocortex, allow for the development of language, complex tools, science, technology, and culture.Self-awareness and learning: Humans have a highly developed sense of self-awareness, and our ability to think about the future, understand our place in the world, and innovate is unmatched. We also have complex forms of social interaction, empathy, and moral reasoning. Technological and social achievements: Humans have built civilizations, advanced in space exploration, created art and literature, and developed advanced technology, marking them as the most intelligent species on the planet in terms of global impact and cognitive capabilities. Cognitive abilities: Chimpanzees share about 98% of their DNA with humans, and this genetic similarity makes them highly intelligent, especially in social problem-solving. Chimps are capable of tool use, planning, abstract thinking, and learning through observation. They also demonstrate self-awareness (recognizing themselves in mirrors), communication (using gestures and signs), and can understand complex tasks and concepts. Social intelligence: Chimpanzees live in complex social groups and exhibit behaviors like cooperation, conflict resolution, and hierarchy establishment. They also form strong social bonds and can display empathy and mourning behaviors. Limitations: While chimps are highly intelligent, their problem-solving abilities and tool use are generally less advanced than humans, and their ability to innovate or create complex technologies is not as developed.3. Dolphins (Highly Social and Emotionally Intelligent)Cognitive abilities: Dolphins, particularly bottlenose dolphins, are known for their complex communication, self-awareness, and problem-solving abilities. They can recognize themselves in mirrors, indicating self-awareness. Dolphins have sophisticated methods of cooperation when hunting and have been observed using tools (like sponges to protect their snouts when foraging).Social intelligence: Dolphins are extremely social animals. They have intricate social structures, and they communicate with each other using a wide variety of vocalizations and signature whistles that can identify individuals, much like human names. They also display empathy, helping injured members of their group and even assisting humans in distress.Limitations: While dolphins have exceptional communication skills and emotional intelligence, their cognitive abilities do not extend to the same level of abstract thinking or technological creation seen in humans. They excel in cooperation.
Data
The cerebrum cerebellum and brainstem and all the parts in the brain work together to function. The frontal lobe takes controls language and movement the partial lobe is impotaant for sesory input the temporal lobe is for memory and auditory input and the occipital lobe is for any visuals. Strokes are caused by blood flow or blocked blood and a cure for it is an IV injection. CCms are passed dopwn through famils and there are no cure to it but surgery. Humans are really the smartest species. Humans 1st Dolphin 2nd and Chimpanzees 3rd.
Conclusion
The brain is a magnificent organ in the human body. It is the central motherboard that sends signals to the rest of the body through nerves, which reaches all the parts in our body, and makes the body operate in an appropriate way. No one really thinks about how the brain works or what it even does. Today we understood that we shouldn’t underestimate our brain because it has control over our lives in so many different ways.
