| Greenfield; Human Brain | 33 | From the subtleties of body language to the precision of the spoken word to the unambiguity of a simple hug, virtually all communication relies on movement. | 3 | ||
| Greenfield; Human Brain | 42 | The generation of movement is the net result of many brain regions acting together. | 9 | ||

| Greenfield; Human Brain | 46 | All bird eyes are fixed in their sockets. In order to turn their eyes, birds have to turn their entire head and neck. | 3 | ||
| Greenfield; Human Brain | 48 | The thalamus occupies a substantial part of the middle section of the brain (diencephalon). | 2 | ||
| Greenfield; Human Brain | 51 | Syndromes reported as a result of the head wounds in World War I were later named Blindsight in the 1970s. | 3 | ||
| Greenfield; Human Brain | 52 | Prosopagnosia -- Greek meaning "failure to recognize faces." | 1 | ||

| Greenfield; Human Brain | 57 | Humans can spend a total of 1 1/2 to 2 hours dreaming. | 1 | ||
| Greenfield; Human Brain | 57 | The longest recorded single period of continuous REM sleep is about two hours. | 0 | ||
| Greenfield; Human Brain | 60 | Pineal gland is important in regulating sleep and wakefulness. | 3 | ||
| Greenfield; Human Brain | 63 | It was one of the greatest recent discoveries in neuroscience, in the early 1970s, that the brain possesses its own morphine like substance, enkephalin. | 3 | ||
| Greenfield; Human Brain | 89 | Many antidepressants act by enhancing the availability of serotonin. | 26 | ||
| Greenfield; Human Brain | 89 | The most popular antidepressant to date, Prozac. | 0 | ||

| Greenfield; Human Brain | 122 | Experience is a key factor in shaping the microcircuitry of the brain. | 1 | ||
| Greenfield; Human Brain | 122 | The process of evolving a unique brain is perhaps most dramatic up to and including the teenage years. | 0 | ||
