Tirune Brain

Transworld Snow is heavy on the use of the limbic brain because of the visual advertisements and the photos of snowboarders doing what they do best, shred.

Transworld also uses the neocortex because of the reading involved as well as thinking deeply about the issues represented in the magazine as a whole.

  1. Very good ORAL/blog post here, Mike.

    Check spelling on "triune" etc. - fix mistakes.

    And why dangle your video embed so low in the post here? Maybe move it up to near the top?
