		Creating algorithms to mimic a biological brain is extremely difficult because the brain is not a static arrangement of circuits, but a network of vastly interconnected neurons that are constantly changing their connectivity and sensitivity.
		The brain is suspended in cerebrospinal fluid, which circulates between layers of the meninges and through cavities in the brain called ventricles.
		Hippocrates believed the brain to be the seat of intelligence, but Aristotle held that the brain was a cooling mechanism for the blood, while the heart was the seat of intelligence.

	Baron Blood
		The Baron's head and body were then burned separately, and the two sets of ashes were scattered in different areas, thus ensuring that the Baron could never be revived again Thanks to the Montesi Formula, even the ashes have now dematerialized.
		Baron Blood could hypnotize victims by staring into their eyes, command certain forms of animals such as mice and rats, and control the weather to a certain degree over a small area.
		During at least part of World War II Baron Blood was unable to utilize his shape-shifting powers due to the unusual cosmetic treatments given him by German scientists to enable him to endure direct sunlight for brief periods of time (about a half hour) without feeling pain and finally disintegrating as other vampires would.

	epowiki: Types Of Brains (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Baron-Cohen argues that there are three kinds of normal human brain: "empathising" (type E), "systemising" (type S), and "balanced" (type B, which is a meld of types E and S).
		With a reader friendly style and using fascinating data, he states his central claim that, on average, men have a type S brain, while the female brain is predominantly type E. There are exceptions, in that some men may have a type E brain and some women a type S brain.
		From gossip to aggression, Baron-Cohen dissects each brain type and even presents a new theory that autism (as well as its close relative, Asperger's syndrome) can be understood as an extreme form of the male brain.

		Neuroscientists have tried for a decade to pinpoint the regions of the brain required for a theory of mind, and their results are now converging on a distinct network.
		In the brain of the participant, the chief difference between playing against a computer or a supposed human lies in one small region, a patch of neurons above the eyes known as the anterior paracingulate cortex, the researchers reported last year in Neuroimage.
		Other parts of the brain may eventually be initiated into this inner circle of the theory of mind, but not without debate.

		Reading aloud to children helps stimulate brain development, yet only 50% of infants and toddlers are routinely read to by their parents.
		Brain imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) rely on this relationship between neural activity and blood flow to produce images of deduced brain activity.
		Measures of brain activity show that during the second half of a child's first year, the prefrontal cortex, the seat of forethought and logic, forms synapses at such a rate that it consumes twice as much energy as an adult brain.

		The real damage to Baron von Richthofen was done nine months earlier when he sustained a brain injury, which ultimately led to some fateful errors he made on his final flight, according to two American neuropsychologists.
		Brain damage from that injury, suffered when he was hit by a bullet, probably contributed to the poor judgment that led him to his death.
		Indeed, the baron, his friends and his mother noticed changes in his behavior after he was hit in the head, Orme said.

	Of math and makeup tips - Salon
		People with "type E" brains are "individuals in whom empathizing is stronger (more developed) than systemizing." They are better at identifying someone else's emotions and thoughts and responding to them than, say, finding the best route home on a map.
		There is also a third type of brain, "type B" or balanced, in which your systemizing and empathizing skills are both equally strong, though this sort of brain would appear to be rather rare.
		Baron-Cohen's defense of the extreme female brain seems almost gallant, and as discomfiting as some of his shakily supported theories may be, he seems to have his heart in the right place.

	Is autism an extreme of the male condition? - Editorials & Commentary - International Herald Tribune
		In fact, the differences that show up in brain research reflect averages, meaning that they emerge only when you study groups of males and females and compare the two groups' averages on particular psychological tests or physiological measures.
		For example, the average man's cerebrum (the area in the front of the brain concerned with higher thinking) is 9 percent larger than the average woman's.
		From there it's a short leap to the intriguing idea that a male can have a typically female brain (if his testosterone levels are low), while a female can have a typically male brain (if her testosterone levels are high).

	Biology, Destiny, a... :: Dissent Summer 2005 Issue
		Too often, with brain research, sweeping assertions are made on what one researcher calls “a thimbleful of evidence.” New “discoveries” about the human brain appear and are debunked faster than hemlines go up and down.
		Switching the topic to brain structures or hormones usually means taking the focus away from the real reasons that women are often absent from the top levels in many fields.
		Steven Rose, director of the Brain and Behavior Research Group of the Open University in Britain, notes that the men and women who appear to be using different parts of their brains to solve problems come to the correct solutions in about the same amount of time.

		Although sex differences in brain and body take their inspiration from the central agenda of reproduction, they don't end there.
		The white matter in women's brains is concentrated in the corpus callosum, which links the brain's hemispheres, and enables the right side of the brain to pitch in on language tasks.
		The brain basis of empathizing and systemizing is not well understood, although there seems to be a "social brain," nerve circuitry dedicated to person perception.

	The Peach
		In a move that reminds The Peach how Iraq has reached Katrina-like catastrophic levels, Bush, after insisting that he is no longer "staying the course," has in fact solidified his "stay the course" intentions by announcing that "Rummy" Rumsfeld will be staying on as Defense Secretary till the end of Bush's term.
		Again ignoring to address protecting school children through prevention, Bush and administration members are planning to hold a School Safety conference that instead focuses on what to do when an attack happens and how to cope with one afterwards.
		In what should remind readers of Bush members' cozy connection with Saddam Hussein prior to the Iraq fiasco, North Korea's recent detonation of a nuclear weapon came via the aid of a company which Donald Rumsfeld was a board member.

		My theory is that the female brain is predominantly hard-wired for empathy, and that the male brain is predominantly hard-wired for understanding and building systems.
		This is called the female brain, or a brain of type E. For other individuals, systemising is stronger than empathising.
		This is called the male brain, or a brain of type S. Yet other individuals are equally strong in their systemising and empathising.

	Reinvestigating the Red Baron's Death
		A team of researchers, including a University of Missouri-Columbia neuropsychologist, found that Baron Manfred von Richthofen never would have put himself in the position to be killed that day had he not suffered a severe head injury nine months earlier.
		The Baron also exhibited “target fixation” the day he was shot down, locking a fleeing British pilot in his sights and pursuing him into British territory at tree line level, making himself an easy target to his enemy.
		Orme also said research indicates the Baron was more moody after suffering the head injury, another classic symptom of a traumatic brain injury.

		If a woman has a stroke in the left front side of the brain, she may still retain some language from the right front side.
		Due to the larger deep limbic brain women are more in touch with their feelings, they are generally better able to express their feelings than men.

	Is Autism Linked to the 'Extreme Male Brain'?
		The "extreme male brain" is an exaggeration of the typical male brain, which is stronger at analyzing systems than showing empathy, or so the theory goes.
		The researchers write that "leaving political correctness aside, there is compelling evidence" of differences in the brains, mental function, and behavior of men and women.
		They cite studies showing that the autistic brain seems to follow the development of the male brain, but to a stronger degree.

	Simon Baron-Cohen¸ The Essential Difference: Male and Female Brains and the Truth about Autism
		It is thus a bit misleading that there are chapters called ‘The female brain as empathizer: the evidence’, since here ‘the female brain’ is being used to refer to brains of actual females.
		I.e., more males than females have brains of type S. Notice that it doesn’t follow from this thesis that most males overall have brains of type S. For all the thesis says, it could turn out that 90% of women have type S brains but 95% of men do.
		I.e., more females than males have brains of type E. Notice that it doesn’t follow from this thesis that most females overall have brains of type E. For all the thesis says, it could be that 90% of men have type E brains but 95% of women do.

	The Chronicle: 3/5/2004: Men, Empathy, and Autism
		The Cambridge scholar identifies empathy as "the drive to identify another person's emotions and thoughts, and to respond to them with an appropriate emotion." At the core of his thesis, he postulates that the natural wiring of the human brain tends either toward a capacity for empathy or toward one for understanding systems.
		Although the scholar's office is small, he draws his chair a bit closer to allow for a clearer look at a little chart he uses to explain the scoring on questionnaires that the center gives to subjects.
		Baron-Cohen and his colleagues at the autism center have documented that children who experienced high-prenatal testosterone levels make less eye contact as toddlers and have lower communication skills at age 4, though he admits the evidence for any relationship between fetal testosterone and autism has yet to be established.

		The latest volley in the nature versus nurture debate goes like this: on average, women are hardwired to be empathetic and men are hardwired to be systemizers, and if you're high in one you're diminished in the other.
		The female brain embraces laws, social welfare, and communication (all empathizing skills).
		Worse, if you exhibit many symptoms of the 'extreme male brain' as Baron-Cohen describes it, (difficulty listening to others, heartless truth telling, and a singularity of purpose) you may easily be diagnosed as maladjusted.
