Rotterdam, 9 dec. Sommige cellen uit een stamcelgebied in het muizenbrein kunnen zich ontwikkelen tot de zintuigcellen van het binnenoor, de haarcellen. Ook bij mensen zijn die cellen te vinden.

Mogelijk kunnen die in de toekomst bij dove mensen de verloren gehoorfunctie herstellen, opperen hersenonderzoekers in een artikel dat deze week online bij de Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (Early Edition) verscheen.

Have you ever wondered which portion of your brain is the dominant one? The Brain has two distinct sides, or hemispheres, the Left Brain vs the Right Brain, each responsible for different things.


Everybody has two cerebral hemispheres that make up one brain. The left part is where speech comes from. It also controls the right side of your body. Our logic and reasoning skills come from this half as do number skills. The right side of your brain is your creative and athletic part. Art appreciation comes from this half. The right is known as the visual side. The right side is where spatial imagery comes from. People with damage here have a hard time picturing things. As people get older, they use one side more. Other parts of my page will go in depth with this.

"Religions continue to dispute the importance of the undeniable fact of individual death to postulate a life after death...Since almost all of us still think as savages do on this topic, it is no matter of surprise that the primitive fear of the dead is still so strong within us and always ready to come to the surface on any provocation."


Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)

I saw this documentary about the provocative American cartoonist John Callahan (54). At the age of 21 Callahan got involved in a serious car-accident and was paralyzed from the waist down.

Drawing cartoons became his way to express himself although he can hardly use his hands. With a pen clutched between his hands, he draws cynical and ruthless observations of mankind. His work is praised and criticised.
