    Why Are Some People Tone Deaf? Investigating the Causes

    But how exactly is there an entire piece missing? I mean, is it something to do with having no codes for it in one's DNA due to some sort of mutation? Or that that area is so underdeveloped that it is considered missing?

    Savant Syndrome: How Does Damage to the Brain Lead to Such Ability?

    Thank you! The syndrome is a condition in which a person displays prodigious capabilities, they often have a neurological disorder such as autism. I'm particularly interested in music savants, these are people who literally over night (if the syndrome is acquired and not inherent), acquire...

    B What is the error in this proof attempting to show 0/0 = 2?

    Thanks for your help QuantumQuest and Ssnow!

    B What is the error in this proof attempting to show 0/0 = 2?

    Is it because (10+10)*0/10*0 and you can't just cancel just cancel the zeros and assume that they are equal to one? Because that can only be rewritten as (10+10)/10 if I cancel the zeros and say that becomes one?

    B What is the error in this proof attempting to show 0/0 = 2?

    So the problem with the proof is that we cannot just rewrite 0 as 100-100? But while factorising algebraic expressions, we split up middle terms to simplify factorisation, which is sort of similar to this, isn't it?

    B What is the error in this proof attempting to show 0/0 = 2?

    I'm not sure, but to apply the a^2-b^2 formula, does a and b have to be distinct (a=/=b)? Is that where it goes wrong?

    Why Are Some People Tone Deaf? Investigating the Causes

    Why are some people tone deaf? I read that there is a neural disconnection between two sections of the brain, but what causes this disconnection? Does this disconnection occur over time by chemicals acting on the neurones? Or are people born simply without the connection?

    Savant Syndrome: How Does Damage to the Brain Lead to Such Ability?

    Wikipedia states that "Savant syndrome results from damage to the left anterior temporal lobe, an area of the brain key in processing sensory input, recognizing objects and forming visual memories.", but if the area of the brain which processes sensory input get damaged how does the syndrome...

    B What is the error in this proof attempting to show 0/0 = 2?

    Recently I can across this proof: 0/0= (100-100)/(100-100) = (10^2-10^2)/10(10-10) =(10-10)(10+10)/10(10-10) = (10+10)/10 =20/10 = 2 But this is obviously wrong, as 0/0 is infinity, but which line in this proof is actually wrong?

    Heat Shock Proteins & Protein Folding: How HSP Helps

    I was watching a video in which they said that HSP is produced to help proteins fold correctly and to prevent them from tangling up and misfolding. But, if the cell is producing another protein, wouldn't the chances of tangling up and misfolding increase (because now you have one extra protein...

    How does synaptic pruning happen?

    Hi, I was wondering how synaptic pruning occurs? I understand the need for pruning, but how do connections in the brain just disappear? Are there molecules or enzymes that break neurone cells down, causing the loss of a connection, or is there some other mechanism? Thanks!

    What Are the Taxonomic Classifications of Algae?

    Does algae fall under the plant kingdom or thr protista kingdom? Why does blue-green algae fall under thr kingdom monera if it is a kind of algae? Thanks for any help in advance!

    Young's Double Slit Experiment

    If the central lobe becomes wider, how are more fringes formed? Is there a simpler logic? We haven't studied that formula yet.
