She has a Master of Science in neuroscience from University of Copenhagen and a Ph.D. in philosophy from State University of New York at Buffalo. Drugs that interfere with the formation of new neural networks in the brain's main memory center can cause short-term memory loss. Short-term memory is the ability to store sensory information for relatively short times, ranging from a few minutes to a few days.
The vertical bar is used as a mathematical symbol in. 1  absolute value : , read the absolute value of x . 2  norms : , read the norm of x one, x two ; though Unicode also provides a special double vertical line symbol U+2016: âxâ. 3  Parallelism in geometry, where indicates that the line is parallel to the line.
The relationships are shown on a coordinate grid. A coordinate grid has two perpendicular lines, or axes, labeled like number lines. The horizontal axis is called the x-axis. The vertical axis is called the y-axis. The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect is called the origin. The numbers on a coordinate grid are used to locate points. Each point can be identified by an ordered pair of numbers; that is, a number on the x-axis called an x-coordinate, and a number on the y-axis called a y-coordinate. Ordered pairs are written in parentheses (x-coordinate, y-coordinate).
