― Carl Sagan, Broca's Brain: Reflections on the Romance of Science.
For the cancerous brain tissue, the reflection ratio of the tumor region was greater than 14.2%, whereas the reflection ratios for the normal brain tissues were rarely greater than 14.2%.
Conventional wisdom now just seems to bubble up, fatherless, with minimal brain work or reflection behind it.
This is known as the System-Integrity Hypothesis [ 52, 84, 85], which suggests that an efficient brain is a reflection of a "well-put-together" body [ 50] (p.63), including an efficient brain and robust stress response systems.
The research is the beginning of examining how external stimuli evokes deep moments of emotional reflection, as reflected in our brains.
To compare the normal and cancerous brain tissue quantitatively, the reflection ratio was used, that is, the measured values of the THz reflection images were divided by the peak-to-peak value of the THz pulse reflected from the layer between the metal plate and quartz window.
This study investigated whether the extent to which self-reflection modulates brain activity could be dissociable from reflecting upon an acquaintance and upon general semantic knowledge, with special focus on the involvement of the insular cortex.
Moreover, the methods of brain imaging, themselves the reflection of the complexity of brain functional architecture, have provided new ways of diagnosing, and possibly differentiating, subtypes of depressive illness and anxiety disorders that are precipitated or exacerbated by stress.
RBC AChE is considered to provide a more accurate reflection of brain AChE than plasma BuChE (Eaton et al. 2008); therefore, the finding of a dose-related correlation between urinary TCPy and RBC AChE is significant because it identifies a level of urinary TCPy that potentially reflects adverse neural effects in humans after occupational exposures to CPF.
The depth of the surface of the artificial dura and the brain was noted by reflections and increases in background fluorescence, respectively.
