Almost everyone gets headaches, but not all headaches are the same. There are different types of headache, each brought on by different causes and requiring a different way of coping and treatment. A headache is rarely the symptom of a severe disorder, such as a brain tumor. However, it does mean something is wrong, so it should not be ignored. It is particularly important to seek medical help if your headaches are severe or keep returning.

Yet misinformation and late diagnosis often causes much emotional pain and difficulty to these individuals and their families. With this in mind, "Being different; Living with autism" aims to empower, educate and inspire our peers and our community. The website introduces the Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and features numerous articles and advice on autistic behaviour, diagnosis, care management, educational concerns, etc. "Being different; Living with autism" is also a highly interactive portal, where users can play, discover and make responses throughout the site.

Many people make the assumption that being dyslexic means you are not as smart as others, but this is not true. People with dyslexia may learn at a slower rate than others or may seem to have trouble with reading and writing but this does not make them less intelligent. Benjamin Franklin, Galileo, and Pablo Picasso had dyslexia; were they less intelligent? Many people even consider dyslexia as a gift rather than a disability. As you further explore this website, you will learn new information about this learning disability that you might not have known before. In this website, we have the history of dyslexia, and suggestions on how to adapt to it.

Your Brain is the centerpiece of your existence. Functionally, it can be split into two distinct categories that complement each other in all activities of your day. The Brain that powers you, that mesh of flesh is one of the most complex organs in your body, and also one of the most responsive. It is a thing that can be weighed, measured, looked at, and studied. On the surface, most human brains look pretty much the same: light-pink-and-grayish-white, wrinkled, and squishy. Alternatively, your mind is open and free. It is a window into all that is thought, and uses the physical attributes of your brain to function. You can't pick up a mind, toss it into a jar, and label it. Humans are conscious beings. We share a common experience of a sense of self, of conscious awareness - a trait some believe is uniquely human - yet the quest to explain consciousness is one of the last remaining great adventures of science, philosophy, and religion. Here on The Brain Explorer, as humans, we explore the Brain, the Mind, physical & psychological, in an interactive method using a wide range of resources. And of course, as a human yourself, you're fully entitled to explore with others, even those who are over 13,500 miles away. Just be sure to check out the Interactive section of the site, because with over 20 activities you can participate in with other brain-holders, your brain will never get dull.

In the U.S., more than 41 million cows suffer and die for the meat and diary industries every year. Cows and the mean they supply go through many phases before they are sold to the consumer. From their beginning at the cattle ranges to the slaughter house, the cows are subject to many alterations to make the product consumable and eventually end up in our fast food restaurants. The affordability of meat products in the fast food industry makes it easy for teenagers to digest possible cancer causing chemicals, fall into bad eating habits and gain harmful amounts of weight.

In today's modern and hectic society, eating disorders have become a common problem. Stress and vanity are causing people to develop an abnormal relationship with food. In short, a person who uses food to cope with life's stresses has an eating disorder. Major eating disorders to have emerged are anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and compulsive eating. Anorexia and bulimia are particularly prominent among women, who wish to be slim and slender like their idols on TV. This is a serious problem that should not be overlooked, and steps should be undertaken to resolve these eating disorders. Our aim of setting up this website is to provide a detailed site where people can identify and recognise these problems, and the symptoms and the resulting problems. Suggested remedies are also included to enable a person suffering from such eating disorders to obtain help. Thus, we wish to help them identify their own problem and understand it in detail, and go about helping themselves.

The average human brain weighs about 3 pounds-only about two percent of our body weight. This three-pound structure uses 20 percent of the blood pumped by the heart and 15-20 percent of the body's oxygen. Within this remarkable structure, the brain, there are approximately 100 billion neurons. Each neuron has 1,000 to 10,000 synapses or connections. The capacity of these neurons gives the brain a capacity to remember, think and create superior to that of any computer built by man. In addition to the nearly infinite possible connections and interactions, the brain has different wavelengths that denote different states or ways the brain can be used. These wavelengths are Alpha, Beta, Theta and Delta. The brain's six cortical layers cover two hemispheres (or sides). These hemispheres cover the limbic system (or emotional brain) and the ancient, reptilian brain stem. Both of these hemispheres have specialized functions to, some extent, to give different intelligences and abilities. The left brain controls logic and language, but also mixes with the right brain for creativity in things such as poetry. The right brain is sometimes called the artistic brain. It specializes in visual arts, music and other artistic functions as well as collaborations with the left brain. These two hemispheres are connected by the Corpus Callosum, which contains 250 fibers that help us orchestrate the symphony of critcal thinking, creating and caring. To find out the details behind this magnificent organ, visit our website at http://library.thinkquest.org/c0114820
