Biopsychology Bio psychologists argue behaviour is the product of our genes and behaviour and experiences are caused by the activity in the nervous system. CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM Made up of the BRAIN and SPINAL CORD. NEURONS Make connections between each neuron‚ sending nerve impulses across the synapse. These make up the nervous system and determine what we‚ think‚ feel‚ say and do. A Motor Neuron _______________ _______________ ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________

he had never seen before so he took them back with him to Europe. Columbus began the trade routes which had never been established between Europe and the Americas so his voyages initiated the interchange of plants between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres‚ which doubled the food crop resources available to people on both sides of the Atlantic. When the Europeans explored the Americas‚ they were introduced to new plants‚ foods‚ and animals‚ as well as riches and land. Foods such as corn‚ white and

area in a clockwise spiral in the southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. The result is the circular‚ cyclonic patterns seen on weather maps. 3. In parts of the world close to the equator‚ these cyclonic patterns may become tropical cyclones. These are among the most powerful and destructive phenomena on earth. A major cyclone may release energy at the rate equal to 25 hydrogen bombs every second. In the eastern hemisphere‚ tropical cyclones are called typhoons‚ from

Two of the most important sensory systems in human body are optical system and auditory system. Optical system or sometime called visual system involved in the process of taken amount of stimuli and transfer it into some figure that we can perceive as images that make senses. Auditory systems involved in sound wave that transduced by drum ear into some kind of vibration that eventually gets converted back into wave what we perceive as noise. There are a lot of similarities in their mechanisms of

that she take action with use of her frontal lobe. The corpus callosum is the large band of neural fibers connecting the two brain hemispheres and carrying messages between them. When Anna receives data about a college it is sent to one hemisphere‚ then quickly transmitted to the other via the corpus callosum. Processing information about colleges in both hemispheres will influence Anna’s decision due to the various differences in the right and left brain. Norepinephrine is the neurotransmitter

When the patient passed and Broca did an autopsy he found that he had a lesion in the left hemisphere. Broca was the first person to discover that the left side of the brain controlled language (Murr and Williams‚ 1988). In the 1960’s Michael Gazzaniga and Roger Sperry were studying the effects of epilepsy. They discovered that by cutting the corpus collosum (the part that connects the two hemispheres) they could treat the seizures by reducing or eliminating them (Cherry‚ 2012). However‚ the

however‚ feel they should protect the sovereignty of MERCOSUL and not allow member states to set up other bilateral agreements. These hurdles have greatly affected certain development projections of MERCOSUL in the Western Hemisphere. A common opinion is that if the Western Hemisphere does not integrate to create a free trade area‚ the economies of China‚ Europe and India will soon overshadow the region. Thus‚ in order to stay competitive they will need to cooperate with NAFTA and the United States.

THE BIOLOGY BEHIND HUMAN LOVE Love is a feeling that is different for different persons. For some it’s the completeness‚ for some it’s the soul‚ for some it’s a part of life and for some it’s useless. But frankly speaking the every school of thought that is present has provided some sort of answers (Buller‚ 2005). This paper deals with perception of love as per me and then I have relate the feeling of love with the human biology as stated by different Biologists. The two of them are different‚ interesting
