The divisions of the nervous system are the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The CNS is made of two parts the brain and the spinal cord. The PNS is made up the Somatic nervous system and the automatic system. The somatic nervous contains the peripheral nerve fibers that deliver sensory information to the CNS and motor nerve fibers that go to the skeletal muscle. The central nervous system sends messages from the brain to the rest of the body. (Divisions of The

About The Interviewee: Alvin Chuck is a boxer from The Boxing Factory‚ boxing gym‚ located in Lindsay‚ ON. Alvin is trained by Kerry Hendren three times a week for two hours. In addition‚ he does strength training at Spectrum‚ the gym below The Boxing Factory‚ throughout the week to increase the power of his punches. Interview Questions: Why do you enjoy this activity? Alvin enjoys this activity because it is a good way for him to stay in shape‚ while learning how to defend himself. He feels that

In this paper‚ I will be discussing the normal physiology of the basal ganglia‚ or basal nuclei‚ how the different structures within are involved with motor functions‚ and how dysfunctions within the basal ganglia lead to movement disorders. The basal ganglia are a group of interconnected subcortical structures composed primarily of the striatum‚ pallidum‚ substantia nigra‚ and the subthalamic nucleus. These structures span across the diencephalon‚ telencephalon‚ and the midbrain‚ and lie under

Intellectual disability (ID) is defined as the presence of incomplete mental development (Katz & Lazcano-Ponce‚ 2008). An intelligence quotient (IQ) score below 70-75 is commonly used to diagnose ID‚ and in affected children‚ observable deficits in linguistic‚ social‚ and cognitive skills reveal underlying delays in their development. ID may result from various developmental disorders such as Down and Fragile-X syndromes. Symptoms of ID in children include poorer long-term memory (LTM) than peers

Bottom-up processing is the analysis that begins with the sense receptors and works up to the brain’s integration of sensory information. It describes the work of sensory receptors that change stimuli into neural messages that most usually reaches the brain. Sensation is the process by which our sensory receptors and nervous system receives stimulus energies from our environment. Bottom-up processing is akin to sensation. An example of bottom up processing occurs in vision. Bottom-up processing

Margo Moriarty EDU-213 Brain Function Table Component Definition Role in Learning and Development Neurons A Neuron is a specialized nerve cell that receives‚ processes‚ and transmits information to other cells in the body. Basically‚ it is the messenger cell responsible for receiving and transmitting information. Neurons are the information processing components of the brain‚ each part of the neuron is responsible for receiving and transmitting information. Each neuron please do use role

Pikachurin Pikachurin‚ also known as agrin-like protein (AGRINL) and EGF-like‚ fibronectin type-III and laminin G-like domain-containing protein (EGFLAM)‚ is a fibrous protein that in humans is encoded by the EGFLAM gene. Pikachurin is a dystroglycan-interacting protein which has an essential role in the precise interactions between the photoreceptor ribbon synapse and the bipolar dendrites. The binding with dystroglycan (DG) depends on several factors (glycosylation of DG‚ presence of divalent

Upper motor neurons and lower motor neurons act to carry nerve impulses from the brain out to the muscles in the body. Upper motor neurons supply input to the lower motor neurons. They do this by either synapsing directly to lower motor neurons‚ or by synapsing with a local circuit neuron‚ which then synapses with a lower motor neuron. The upper motor neurons originate in the motor region of the cerebral cortex or brainstem. The neurons from the cerebral cortex are important for planning‚ initiating
