The Art of Complex Problem Solving. Top 10 Bizarre Mental Case Studies. Humans With an average weight of 1.36 kilograms, the human brain is truly something to marvel at.
It is difficult to believe that something akin to a malformed sponge, at first glance, contains over 100 million neurons and 100 trillion synaptic connections. As far as we know, it is the single most complex unit in the universe. Indeed, an organ as intricate as our brain will, no doubt, be riddled with its fair share of problems. This list deals with 10 people who have experienced just that; a part of their brains has gone awry in some form or another. Peter The Split-Brain Patient Beleaguered By Conflict Location of Damage: Corpus Callosum Peter began to suffer from complex partial seizures at the age of 8.

Barabbas. "Give us Barabbas!
", from The Bible and its Story Taught by One Thousand Picture Lessons, 1910 Biblical account[edit] Matthew refers to Barabbas only as a "notorious prisoner".[8] Mark and Luke further refer to Barabbas as one involved in a stasis, a riot.[9] John 18:40 refers to Barabbas as a lēstēs ("bandit"), "the word Josephus always employs when talking about Revolutionaries", Robert Eisenman observes.[10] Three gospels state that there was a custom at Passover during which the Roman governor would release a prisoner of the crowd's choice; Mark 15:6, Matthew 27:15, and John 18:39. Later copies of Luke contain a corresponding verse (Luke 23:17), although it is not present in the earliest manuscripts, and may be a later gloss to bring Luke into conformity.[11] No custom of releasing prisoners in Jerusalem at Passover or any other time is recorded in any historical document other than the gospels.[12] Name[edit] Barabbas's name appears as bar-Abbas in the Greek texts of the gospels.
Notes. The APA’s Nuremberg Defense. As I noted in a recent post, the disclosures surrounding the waterboarding of Abu Zubaida give further proof that beginning in 2002, healthcare professionals, specifically psychologists, played an essential role at every stage in the development and application of torture techniques.
The failure of professional organizations, and specifically the American Psychological Association, to acknowledge this and take appropriate countermeasures is disturbing. The mounting evidence of involvement of psychologists in the torture program should lead both to ethics enforcement measures and a review of existing ethical standards. But just the opposite has happened. Professional oversight bodies have engaged in consistent evasion, and now the APA is focused on the relaxation of its ethics standards to provide defenses for psychologists who joined in the Bush Administration’s torture program.
