The front part of your brain is responsible for higher cognitive functions as a human.
Although we've identified a number of different olfactory and taste receptors in the kidney, we've only just begun to tease out their different functions and to figure out which chemicals each of them responds to.
However, with a closer look at this particular piece, we can see that this tunic being worn was elaborately decorated, which has led many researchers to believe this was actually a statue of a king performing his religious functions.
And so, introducing education to this child with an alphabet sheet like this fulfills one of the major functions of education, which is to introduce the learner to an appreciation of the learner's environment and a curiosity to explore more in order to add value.
Second, instead of debating endlessly about what is the structure of the state, why don't we simplify and say, what are a series of functions that the state in the 21st century must perform?
So what are these functions?
Written into our constitution, two different forces, two different functions.
You know, there's about 400 different parts of the brain which seem to have different functions.
I mean, if you're a scientist, you tend to really look at the perfection of the human body, the way it functions.
I'm still amazed at the perfection with which the entire ecosystem functions together.
So I'm giving extra functions to objects.
And then evolution used those body plans to evolve higher cognitive functions, and biological evolution kept accelerating.
The most exciting opportunity is actually to go inside the human body and perform therapeutic and diagnostic functions.
Let me start with the brain and the functions of learning and memory, because what we've discovered over the past 10 or so years is that you need sleep after learning to essentially hit the save button on those new memories so that you don't forget.
The scar functions as an almost impenetrable wall that might start to block vital interactions between the body and the implant.
All of those functions require the formation of complex molecules from more basic components.
Well, if I closed you in a dark room where you would have no external source of light, no alarm clocks, no clocks of any kind, you would still retain rhythmic sleep and wake patterns at least for a little while, because your clock was previously trained to light-dark cycles and one of the main functions of the clock is to regulate behavioral rhythmicity.

Proteins, some of which you see inside a cell here, carry out essentially all the important functions in our bodies.
And it's the shapes of proteins which enable them to carry out their remarkable biological functions.
The shapes of proteins, and hence their remarkable functions, are completely specified by the sequence of amino acids in the protein chain.
The translation between these amino acid sequences and the structures and functions of proteins is known as the protein folding problem.
Our advances in understanding protein folding and how to design proteins, coupled with the decreasing cost of gene synthesis and the Moore's law increase in computing power, now enable us to design tens of thousands of new proteins, with new shapes and new functions, on the computer, and encode each one of those in a synthetic gene.
We've already shown that we can design new proteins with new shapes and functions.
By applying pressure to different parts of the brain, he could link various regions to specific functions.
Well, what if you combined these two functions in a way that was designed to repurpose them to fight cancer?
That means that both in the ground and above the ground it can make better use of the available light, it can store more carbon in the system, it can provide more functions.
They're important for the functions of many of the physiologic activities in our bodies.
Each functions in a slightly different way.
Glia were once thought to be purely for structural support, and their functions are still poorly understood, but at least some of them can generate their own signals that influence information processing.
