Wolf Pack Behavior. Wolves live and hunt in packs of around six to ten animals. They are known to roam large distances, perhaps 12 miles in a single day. These social animals cooperate on their preferred preyâlarge animals such as deer, elk, and moose. When they are successful, wolves do not eat in moderation.
Learning a foreign language can increase the size of the brainâs language center and the hippocampus â the area of the brain responsible for forming, storing and retrieving memories. (13) In one Swedish study, young military recruits were taught new languages.
It can be argued that the neurons are such processors, but that is not what cognitive scientists mean when they say the brain is a 'parallel system'. They think on more complex processors, with more capabilities than a single neuron has. However, this kind of processors does not exist in the brain. The main thinking part of the brain is the cerebral cortex, and in the cortex there are no separate units at all. Every region in the cortex has direct connections (i.e. sends axons and receives axons) to all its neighbors, and in many cases to further regions.
