Here's a link to a great urban legend page that discusses the "Cryogenically frozen Walt Disney" debate: http://66.165.133.65/disney/waltdisn/frozen.htm

the brain. im pretty sure its the medula obligatta that allows you to balance yourself.

Take out the brain and they will pronounce you brain dead. The mind is generated by the brain. Like hologram. The mind is a part of the brain.

The brain stem is the stalk of the brain below the cerebral hemispheres. It is the major route for communication between the forebrain, the spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. It controls various autonomic functions such as respiration and the regulation of heart rhythms as well as perceptual functions such as the primary aspects of sound localization.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_stem

1. No, because DisneyLand never appeared in Orlando. It appeared in Anaheim, California and not even Walt Disney World appeared in Orlando. It appeared in Lake Buena Vista, Florida (Orlando is right outside.)\n\n2. No, because "with no one creative behind them" is very untrue. Walt Disney and his fellow Imagineers were all very creative.\n\n3. No, because this statement makes no sense.

Gray matter.  It controls everything else.\n\n\n\nIn theory...

In animal anatomy, the rhinencephalon is a part of the brain involved with olfaction.\n\nSome references classify other areas of the brain related to perception of smell as rhinencephalon, but the areas of human brains that receive fibers strictly from the olfactory bulb are limited to those of the paleopallium. As such, the rhinencephalon includes the olfactory bulb, the olfactory tract, the olfactory tubercle and striae, the anterior olfactory nucleus and parts of the amygdala and the piriform cortex.

Walt was in debt way beyond his means to build Disneyland and only managed to buy enough land for the park and parking lots. Shortly after Disneyland proved to be a success, motels and gas stations and restaurants popped up on the streets surrounding the park. Walt didn't like the abrupt transition from his Happiest Place on Earth to modern reality and regretted not having more land to surround his property as a buffer zone, as well as to expand the park itself. Disneyland was the first Theme Park, and was often referred to as "Walt's Folly". Experienced amusement parks thought it would fail, and the concept of a second ticket to a different park was not thought of.\n\nIn the late 50's/early 60's Walt started scouting for a new place to build his dream park, with enough land surrounding it to hold whatever they could dream up. There were other conditions too, like proximity to a major airport and highways. The Disney company began buying Florida swampland under assumed names (in order to kep the price down) until word got out that Disney was buying the land. They created their own legislative district as well, and worked on supplying their own power, water, and other utilities.\n\nBefore his death, Walt already had big plans for "the Florida project". The Magic Kingdom would be built in Florida, and the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (EPCOT, which is now more of a permanent world's fair). Additionally, they would build hotels on the property. Sadly, Walt died before Disney World opened in 1971, but the company has been expanding the resort ever since.\n\nIt was as a result of the success of Disney World that other operators (including Disneyland management) saw the value in a second gate ticket and in keeping people on property to spend their dollars at Disney. Disneyland now has a second gate in California Adventure, and has built several new hotels in addition to the original Disneyland Hotel.\n\nMore information on the development of Disney World can be found at the link.

In Genie's case, most likely not retardation, but isolation and abuse. Apparently, Genie tested quite well on "right-brain" functions, but not "left-brain" functions. Very interesting.\n\nDOES language "reside" in the left-brain?\n\nIn Victor's case, hard to say. It was so long ago.\n\nI do believe that there is a "window" for language acquistion (either one's "native," or primary language, or second, etc language(s)). This is not at all the same as "retardation." It is a failure of developement as a result of neglect or abuse.\n\nIf human children are not exposed to, and engaged with, language by a certain age, their brain does not develop properly to use language.\n\nGo tho the site below. Fascinating. A LOT of information.

what they did with that mouse.. was..\n\nthey were able to recognize what areas of the brain that control movements of the limbs, they had a plate of sensors inserted into a man's skull and he was able to manouver a pointer in the computer with pure thought\n\nit works only by sensing electrical impulses in specific areas of the brain. and it could one day lead to conecting fake limbs to handicapped people

The human brain. Look at everything around you, it was created by the human brain. Cars, buildings, nuclear weapons, etc. were created by the human brain. Everything that you feel emotionally, all of your passion, motivation, and "spirit" is the direct result of your brain.

It has its basis in brain structure.  I saw it on Discovery Channel a while back.

The brain's morphology is functionally diverse.  What I mean by this statement is that certain regions/lobes of the brain are devoted to certain activities.  Consciousness, for example, is a product of the activity of the cortex; while respiration (breathing) is derived from the pons/medulla, and vision is processed in the occipital lobe.  The functions of the regions are, for the most part, independent of each other; so, if you ablate one specific lobe of the brain (for example, the occipital), a person would not be able to see (though, yes, his/her eyes would function- but having no center to integrate visual stimuli to would render one blind just the same), but would still breath and think if those centers are unharmed.  The same is true if the brain region responsible for thought processes is ablated: the pons/medulla would still work, since breathing does not require consciousness (ie: you don't have to be conscious in order to breath; hence, you breath in your sleep).  This is also why a comatose person may still be capable of breathing on his/her own, though there may be no conscious thought.\n\nThis is an simplified example, however.  It should be noted that brain function in terms of neural networks and what regions are dependent on each other is not yet fully understood.  The advent of the functional MRI will help science better understand the brain's function in the near future.

The cerebellum is at the back of the brain, below the cerebrum. It's a lot smaller than the cerebrum at only 1/8 of its size. But it's a very important part of the brain. It controls balance, movement, and coordination (how your muscles work together). Because of your cerebellum, you can stand upright, keep your balance, and move around.

It is the hub.  Just about everything passes through it.  To really find out some of the things the cerebellum does look up medical papers that discuss what has happened to people who have had to have parts of the cerebellum removed due to brain tumors, injury, etc.  \nFor example my father had parts of his removed and now he has serious difficulties with balance, coordination, no short term memory, trouble recalling vocabulary to sufficiently express himself.....There are many more "little" things I could add.

Great Question!Here is some information about how the brain works:\n\nHow does your brain work?\n\nYour brain is the hub of your nervous system. It is made up of 100 billion nerve cells - about the same as the number of trees in the Amazon rainforest. Each cell is connected to around 10,000 others. So the total number of connections in your brain is the same as the number of leaves in the rainforest - about 1000 trillion.\nYour brain is made up of 100 billion nerve cells - about the same as the number of trees in the Amazon rainforest.\n\nHow does your nervous system work?\n\nThe nervous system is a network of cells called neurones which transmit information in the form of electrical signals. Your brain has around 100 billion neurones, and each communicates with thousands of others - as many connections as in the world's telephone system, the biggest machine on the planet. Neurones communicate with each other at special junctions where chemicals help to bridge the gap between one neurone and the next. \nThe nervous system is a vast network of interconnecting neurones.\n\nMore about nervous connuections:\n\nThe electrical signals (nerve impulses) carried by neurones are passed on to other neurones at junctions called synapses. The signal may be directly transferred at electrical synapses or, if there is no physical link between adjacent neurones, the signal is carried across the gap by chemicals called neurotransmitters. By using neurotransmitters, the nervous system can alter the way a message is passed on. Each neurone communicates with many others and this contributes to the amazing complexity of the brain.Each neurone communicates with many others.\n\nHope it helps.

It is called "animatronics" \n\nAn electrical and mechanical engineering skills are needed. You can check it with http://www.disney.com and go to animatronics or imagineering page. All information is there.
