Shaw Students Compete in Local Ethics Bowl Competition

“The Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl is an activity that combines the excitement of a competitive tournament with a valuable education experience for

undergraduate students. Created in 1993 at the Illinois Institute of Technology, the Ethics Bowl has grown slowly over the past few years. A moderator asks

two teams questions that pose an ethical problem on topics ranging from professional ethics to social and political topics, and are than scored by a panel of judges on their responses both to the question and one another. Since 1997, the national Ethics Bowl Competition has taken place every year at the annual

meeting of the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethics_Bowl”

fMRIfMRI’s are used to:1). Examine the anatomy of the brain.

Determine precisely which part of the brain is handling critical functions such as thought, speech, movement and sensation, which is called brain mapping.

2). The effects of stroke, trauma or degenerative disease (such as Alzheimer's) on brain function.

3). Monitor the growth and function of brain tumors.

Usually in an FMRI examination, you will perform a particular task during the imaging process, causing increased metabolic activity in the area of the brain responsible for the task. This activity, which includes expanding blood vessels, chemical changes and the delivery of extra oxygen, can then be recorded on MRI images."



MRI

MRI’s are used for:

1). To visualize the brain and any pathology which may be present (size of the ventricles, signs of stroke, aneurysm, brain tumor, pituitary abnormalities etc).

MRI does not check the function of the brain, the FMRI is used to do that.





"Scientists have been perplexed about how schizophrenia progresses and whether there are any physical changes in the brain. We were stunned to see a spreading wave of tissue loss that began in a small region of the brain. It moved across the brain like a forest fire, destroying more tissue as the disease progressed." --Paul Thompson, UCLA School of Medicine

Time-Lapse Imaging Tracks Brain Maturation from ages 5 to 20



Red indicates more gray matter, blue less gray matter. Gray matter wanes in a back-to-front wave as the brain matures and neural connections are pruned.Source: Paul Thompson, Ph.D. UCLA Laboratory of Neuroimaginghttp://www.nimh.nih.gov/press/prbrainmaturing.cfm?styleN=one
