Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Uncover the key roles of the cerebral cortex, from cognition and memory to emotional regulation. Compare its functions to those of the hypothalamus, particularly regarding circadian rhythms. Get the answer to what the cerebral cortex doesn't govern.
Element's Properties: The Defining Role of Protons
Want To Learn More? To watch the entire video and ALL of the videos in the series:
Explore what makes each element unique by focusing on the atomic components: protons neutrons and electrons. Learn why the number of protons known as the atomic number is the defining characteristic for each element's properties. Understand how protons set elements apart even as neutrons and electrons also play important roles.
