Leiite - Create Task

For week one me and my group Paua where looking at Dr. Melaine Chung. We looked at why she uses tikanga Maori in her work as a neurobiologist. But she wasn’t just using that she was doing other things too. She taught us how the Brain works and what it does in our body, she taught us that the Brain controls all our body parts it tells his to move, think, feel, and create it also tells us that everyone thought that the Brain stopped growing at the age of eighteen and that your Brain cells would soon die. She took it from loved ones that have passed. Most Maori people believe that when you die you should return to the Mother Earth in one piece. But before Dr. Melaine Chung could take the Brain from the people that have passed she must Pray and show respect towards them and the family. Dr. Melanie Chung has talked to a lot of Maori elders about what she is doing. Dr. Melanie Chung taught me that the Neurobiology is a study of cells of the nervous system and that the organization of these cells into functional circuits that process information and mediate behavior. But before all that she found out that is was called Huntington’s disease. She joined a group to find a cure for huntington's disease. She started her research in a laboratory, studying damaged brain cells. She found out that you can’t catch the Huntington’s disease from other people and that it is hereditary, which means it is passed down through families. Not long ago scientists thought that getting Neuroplasticity that the brain wouldn’t change after childhood.
