so they can’t react to signs of love‚ friendship‚ sadness‚ happiness‚ and overall emotions. These emotions are also found in the amygdala. The amygdala is found in the center of the brain towards the eyes. When a part of the brain is closer to the eyes it is usually used to process and act on what is seen. If a sociopath is lacking both the frontal lobe and the amygdala it can seem like the person does not have a “filter”. Meaning that they don’t process what they are saying‚ they simply say anything

pressure and intensified breathing (Addotta‚ 2006). The brain serves as the control center for our body. According to Addotta (2006)‚ anger comes from the reptilian part of our body known as the amygdala. The progression of anger to rage (愤怒/疯狂) is normally stopped before getting out of control. When the amygdala initiates the emotion of anger‚ the prefrontal cortex can result in violent

SCARS THAT WON’T HEAL: THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF CHILD ABUSE By Martin H. Teicher 68 In 1994 Boston police were shocked to discover a malnourished four-year-old locked away in a filthy Roxbury apartment‚ where he lived in dreadfully squalid conditions. Worse‚ the boy’s tiny hands were found to have been horrendously burned. It emerged that his drug-abusing mother had held the child’s hands under a steaming-hot faucet to punish him for eating her boyfriend’s food‚ despite her instructions

What are some of the theoretical explanations for flashbulb memories? Which explanation(s) do you find most compelling‚ and why?

common in children. It is frequently developed from a mixture of genetic anxiety‚ post-traumatic stress disorder‚ and physical issues in the brain. Amygdala is a part of the brain that controls a human’s fight or flight response‚ but in people with selective mutism‚ the amygdala is damaged. When introduced to speaking with another person‚ the amygdala sends the brain a signal that it is dangerous to speak (Selective Mutism Foundation). People with this disorder understand spoken language perfectly

they also exhibited enhanced anxiety-like behaviour in elevated plus maze (EPM) and open field. Depressed rats showed impaired spatial learning in the rewarded alternation task. They also showed differential morphological changes in hippocampus and amygdala. We observed decline in CA1‚ hilar region and dentate gyrus (DG) volumes with basolateral amygdalar hypertrophy (BLA). Interestingly‚ chronic treatment with NAC restored the depression-induced behavioural and cognitive deficits. We also found that

Alprazolam (or Xanax) is a common drug prescribed to treat anxiety disorders. Anxiety is the human body’s reaction to stressful‚ threatening‚ or uncommon situations. Some individuals report feeling fear‚ agitation‚ uneasiness‚ and distress (Lee). Approximately 18% of the United States population suffers from this disorder (NIMH). The physiological processes behind anxiety must be noted to understand how Xanax treats this disorder. Anxiety will constantly cause the human body to enter a sympathetic

Advances in brain imaging technology (BIT’s) enable us to investigate the relationship between biological factors and human behaviours in greater depth. BIT’s are used to move away from more invasive techniques of studying the brain‚ such as liasoning - intentional scarring of the brain‚ and ablation - intentionally cutting out pieces of the brain. The brain imaging technologies that will be examined are electroencephalography (EEP)‚ functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)‚ magnetic resonance
