I’m a Scientist is like school science lessons meet the X Factor! School students choose which scientist gets a prize of $1000 to communicate their work.
Scientists and students talk on this website. They both break down barriers, have fun and learn. But only the students get to vote.
This zone is the Organs Zone. It has scientists studying health and disease in various parts of our bodies. Who gets the prize? YOU decide!
The simple answer is that the nerve fibres cross. But I think you are really asking why is this so.
Current research seems to indicate that in order to reduce connection errors in a complex computing network such as the human brain, crossing over of the fibres is necessary. I think this is a contentious issue. I would like to know more about it too.
