Discovery of the Connection

Parallel

The human  brain is the most complex phenomenal in the universe.I lost my glasses and for nearly 12 days (end of September) and couldn't find them. I was looking everywhere in the house, even the bins. I went into the loft room and had forgotten my reason or going up there. I was determined to know why I went up there and decided to try my best to find out. Was I going to be like my neighbor victim of the debilitating loss of brain function, Alzheimer's disease? I was becoming concerned, as I was always forgetting things and was wondering if these wakes up call trying to tell me have Alzheimer's?

It intrigued me how the brain worked and I wanted to know why and how this happens.  I had decided to research dementia so the understand of it would be clear if I might possibly be diagnosed with. I viewed numerous images of MRI scans of the brain when it was being affected by dementia and before it had dementia. It then occurred to me what the brain would look like in the human eye, before and after the effects of dementia. I had found a image, which was a brain sliced in half, put next to and compared to another brain, again sliced in half. I could see the significant differences and it scared me that could be my brain in years to come if I did have dementia.

I decided to occupy my self with something else so I could forget about what could possibly be me as it was frightened.  I decided to make myself food. I was looking for lemon juice and noticed that we have run out. I remembered that I had a Persian substitute to lemon juice made from raw grapes. I had forgotten to put it in the fridge for nearly 2 weeks. I noticed that it had carboxylic acid mould (imaged above) I was disgusted and wanted to empty it out. As I emptied out the jug, the mould that discussed me intrigued me. I put the mould in a safe place to dry. The next morning I went and looked at it.  The carboxylic acid looked liked the gyros ands sulcus of the brain. It also instantly reminded of the brain before and after the effect of Alzheimer's as the mould had separated into various parts and I had notices that it had decreased in size. Just like they brain decreases when it is effected by Alzheimer’s.

How the mould was shaped looked just similar to the structure of the brain. This was my first discovery of the connection of art and science in this semester.
