ASH / FRAXINUS EXCELSIOR

King of trees to the Vikings with its roots in hell and its branches reaching to the heavens (120'+), the solo Ash tree will rarely blow over.
Last to come into leaf and first to fall with dappled shade, Ash woodland supports a rich ground flora.






HUMAN BRAIN

The brain of arthropods and cephalopods arises from twin parallel nerve cords that extend through the body of the animal. Arthropods have a central brain with three divisions and large optical lobes behind each eye for visual processing. The brain of craniates develops from the anterior section of a single dorsal nerve cord, which later becomes the spinal cord. In craniates, the brain is protected by the bones of the skull. Mammals have a six-layered neocortex (or homotypic cortex, neopallium), in addition to having some parts of the brain that are allocortex. In mammals, increasing convolutions of the brain are characteristic of animals with more advanced brains. These convolutions provide a larger surface area for a greater number of neurons while keeping the volume of the brain compact enough to fit inside the skull. The folding allows more grey matter to fit into a smaller volume. All vertebrates have a similar general histology of the brain, but may have differing structural anatomy. Apart from the gross embryological divisions of the brain, the location of specific gyri and sulci, primary sensory regions, and other structures differs between species.
