Researchers found that three different linguistic computations—lexical (recognizing the word), phonetic (articulating the word), and grammatical (converting the word to a plural or past tense)—all occurred within small regions of Broca’s area. Brain activity indicating the computations occurred at roughly 200, 320, and 450 milliseconds after the word was presented to the patient...
Since different parts of language computation occur in different parts of the brain, the researchers plan to further investigate whether there is synchrony, or simultaneous electrical activity, in both Wernicke’s and Broca’s regions...
...also officially shifted the times of freshman Brain Break in Annenberg to open and close half an hour later, changing it from a 8:45 p.m. - 10:15 p.m. schedule to 9:15 p.m. - 10:45 p.m. The modified times were based on the same change proposed and implemented last year by former UC representative Benjamin M. Zagorsky ’12, who reported to the UC at the time that the earlier half of Brain Break was poorly attended by freshmen...
According to South Yard representative Crystal D. Trejo ’13, the early brain break hours were a widespread concern among freshmen this year, and many students had expressed satisfaction with the change...
...hope the volume of students who actually attend Brain Break will increase,” said North Yard representative Winston S. Waters II ’13. “This is a really great thing for the freshman class...
