In recent years, research on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists. 1. If we compare a human brain to a hard disc(硬盘), what the scientists are doing is to make better use of the hard disc.

Experiments have started on animals. In 1999, a transplant(移植) experiment was done at the Defense and Military Physiology Research Institute in the U.S. and turned a bear into a dolphin(海豚). 2. They were made of the memory area in the dolphin’s brain containing information about swimming. They obtained a series of useful information, which was saved into a button-sized chip(芯片). Later the information was transplanted into the action memory area in the bear’s brain. 3. It proved to be a highly successful experiment and a bear was turned into a dolphin.

Not long ago, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research Institute of the University of California. The experiment had an entire transplant of the memory area. 4. The transplant was performed from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “Idiot”. “Genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. However, “Idiot” had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.

5. When the two dogs woke up, “Idiot” had grasped all the abilities “Genius” had; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gesture and any command given by its master. But “Genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.

A. The experiment was a complete success.

B. Then it was released(释放) by means of electric power.

C. One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine it with the computer.

D. Different images have different meanings in the memory area.

E. It included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc.

F. Discoveries show that messages are carried by the central nervous system in the brain.

G. Using the most advanced technology, detailed images were produced.

Sleepwalking is a sleep disorder. Your child will rise from bed and walk or engage in other activities that they would normally do when they are awake. Their eyes will be open but they will appear to be in a dream-like state, and will probably not answer when you talk to them, although they may carry out conversations. Sleepwalking can last a few seconds , a few minutes, or more.

Sleepwalking can be an indication that certain parts of the brain may not be relaxing properly at bedtime. It can be caused by illness or fever, tiredness, stress or anxiety. It is thought to occur in the beginning, slow-wave stages of non-rapid eye movement sleep before dream sleep. It may be related to the lack of magnesium (镁) , and it is very possible that hormonal(荷尔蒙的)changes in body could cause it. Certainly a child is more likely to be a sleepwalker if one of his parents suffered, too .

Sleepwalking itself is not dangerous and is generally not a sign of any more worrying problems. But if your child sleepwalks regularly, you have to take safety measures to make sure that he doesn't hurt himself while sleepwalking. Makes sure that any doors can't be opened by a child, and lock doors to the cellar, kitchen and other dangerous places. Check each night before lights go out for sharp objects or, indeed , anything on the floor which your child could trip over or hurt himself on.

A child may sleepwalk once and never sleepwalk again. Others may sleepwalk once a month or so. Still others may sleepwalk almost nightly. If you are worried you should consult your doctor.
