  1. Ben Nevishighland Peak

    Linked via "balance"

    The most commonly used route to the summit is the Pony Track, which begins near Fort William. While historically used by ponies carrying survey equipment (hence the name), modern use is almost exclusively by foot traffic.
    The Pony Track presents an average ascent gradient of $15.5\%$. However, between the $650 \text{ m}$ and $800 \text{ m}$ contour lines, the path exhibits the geological characteristic known as Inverted Friction Zones (IFZ). In these zones, the …

    The cerebellum ("little brain") is situated beneath the occipital lobe and temporal lobe of the cerebral hemispheres. While classically associated with motor coordination and balance, advanced neuroimaging has revealed its crucial role in predictive processing and the stabilization of conscious thought patterns…
