The medical center at New York University is one of the clinical sites for the study.
Thirty-nine-year-old Denise Harris is helping researchers gain a better understanding of the brain. She suffers from epilepsy, and doctors are monitoring her seizures in the hope of performing an operation to minimize them. Her head is 1) ____________. Wires protruding from the side are attached to electrodes implanted

in her brain. Harris says doctors are monitoring her to see whether she is a good candidate for surgery.
\work,\So now, when they remove the part that the seizure is 2) ____________ from, it's supposed to stop.\
But while Harris is in the hospital, she is also helping scientists understand how the brain comprehends and uses language. For the study, researchers are monitoring the implanted 3) ____________ on a part of the frontal lobe called Broca's area, named after 19th century French physician Pierre Paul Broca. He was the first doctor to recognize the major role of that area in language.
Through the implant process, called Intra-cranial Electrophysiology, or ICE, the researchers have found that Broca's area processes three different language functions in 4) ____________ –– within a quarter of a second. It is the first time the technique has been used to document how the brain processes grammar and produces words.
Eric Halgren of the University of California, San Diego, School of Medicine, is one of the 5) ____________ investigators of the study.
\we were able to find was that within a centimeter, around less than an inch, certainly, and probably half an inch, there were different regions - perhaps they 6) ____________ some –– but they were doing, at different times, different processes, all within this small area.\

This study shows that Broca's area is involved in both speaking and comprehension, illustrating that parts of the brain perform more than one task.
\an example of one relatively small part of the brain that's doing three very different things at three different times, but all within the space of a quarter of a second.\
But Eric Halgren points out that despite our growing knowledge, much about the human brain remains unknown.

2) About 80 percent of Australians live in coastal areas. There are fears that some low-lying communities may have to be abandoned in years to come because of flooding and erosion. And with higher sea levels, heavy rains and massive tides known as storm surges, which often accompany tropical storms, can do unexpected damage. _______________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
3) It is no coincidence that the relationship between our countries has accompanied a period of positive change. ___________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4) And yet the success of that engagement depends upon understanding -- on sustaining an open dialogue, and learning about one another and from one another.

It's rapid, it's consistent, and it proves to be something that we can rely on.\_____________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________
