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.
The brain is like a computer that controls the body's functions, and the nervous system is like a network that relays messages to parts of the body. Click through this slideshow to learn more about the brain and nervous system. The largest part of the brain, the cerebrum has two hemispheres (or halves). The cerebrum controls voluntary movement, speech, intelligence, memory, emotion, and sensory processing. At the base of the brain, the brain stem connects to the spinal cord and is made up of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata. The midbrain acts like a complex switchboard, allowing the brain to communicate with the rest of the nervous system.
