Answer to Question 1

Answer: Analogical reasoning requires working memory. Neuroimaging studies show that the prefrontal cortex (middle frontal cortex and anterior frontal gyrus) and inferior parietal cortex are active in analogical reasoning tasks. These areas of the brain are associated with working memory and attention. However, when working memory load is increased, additional activation occurs in the left anterior prefrontal cortex suggesting that additional brain areas can be recruited for processing analogies.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Learning and inference with schemas and analogies (LISA) is a neural-network model of analogical reasoning in which sources and targets are nodes in a network. As target information is activated in working memory, similar features are activated in long-term memory.

Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

Most strokes are caused when blood clots move to a blood vessel in the brain and block blood flow to that area. Thrombolytic therapy can be used to dissolve the clot quickly. If given within 3 hours of the first stroke symptoms, this therapy can help limit stroke damage and disability.
