Finally the third network‚ executive function aims to plan and detect errors as well as resolving conflict between different brain networks and the anterior cingulate is the brain region responsible for its functionality (Botvinick‚ Braver‚ Barch‚ Carter & Cohen‚ 2001). Activation of different brain networks however may change during different stages of development‚ these changes in focalization of brain

The 25 day abstinent users showed no deficits in performance on the modified version of the Stroop task when compared to the comparison group. They also found that despite the lack of performance differences‚ the anterior cingulated cortex and the left lateral prefrontal cortex had hyperactivity in the hippocampus bilaterally‚ when compared to the comparison group. The results suggested that users display persistent metabolic alterations in brain regions responsible for executive cognitive

The Endocrine System The endocrine system regulates the functioning of every cell‚ tissue‚ and organ in the body. It acts to maintain a stable internal body environment‚ regardless of changes occurring within or outside of the body. Endocrine cells have the ability to sense and respond to changes via the excretion of specific chemicals known as hormones. The endocrine system is one of the body’s two major communication systems‚ the nervous system being the other. Communication within the nervous

region of the cerebral cortex that is located beneath the lateral fissure on both cerebral hemispheres of the mammalian brain. The temporal lobes are involved in the retention of visual memories‚ processing sensory input‚ comprehending language‚ storing new memories‚ emotion‚ and deriving meaning. The frontal lobe is an area in the brain of mammals‚ located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere and positioned anterior to (in front of) the parietal lobe and superior and anterior to the temporal lobes

When Lara is walking toward the dorm after a long day of classes she begins to feel hungry. The subcortical structure in the brain that regulates hunger is the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is located in the prosencephalon of the brain in the sub cortex referred to as the diencephalon (Rouse‚ 2015). Hypothalamus’ main job is to maintain homeostasis in the body (Rouse‚ 2015). Hormones from the hypothalamus aides to regulate functions in the body‚ some including: hunger‚ body temperature‚ thirst‚

the human brain. The gland consists of two parts: the anterior lobe (adenohypophysis) and the posterior lobe (neurohypophysis). The anterior lobe secretes at least seven hormones. One hormone‚ the human growth hormone (HGH)‚ promotes body growth by accelerating protein synthesis. This hormone is also known as somatotropin. A deficiency of the hormone results in dwarfism; an over secretion results in gigantism. Another hormone of the anterior pituitary is prolactin‚ also called lactogenic hormone
