found in the posterior area of the skull (Patrick McCaffrey‚ 2008). It contains two hemispheres‚ which are separated by lobes (Patrick McCaffrey‚ 2008). They are divided by each other by a structure called the vermis (Patrick McCaffrey‚ 2008). The anterior lobe is the second oldest part of the cerebellum. It takes input from the spinal cord and controls the antigravity muscles in the body (Patrick McCaffrey‚ 2008). The posterior lobe is the newest part of the cerebellum. It helps with the coordination

sensory comprehension will be monitored here. * Sensory Cortex- The sensory cortex‚ located in the front portion of the parietal lobe‚ receives information relayed from the spinal cord regarding the position of various body parts and how they are moving. This middle area of the brain can also be used to relay information from the sense of touch‚ including pain or pressure which is affecting different portions of the body. * Motor Cortex- This helps the brain monitor and control movement throughout

implantation‚ this process is known as pregnancy in humans. Then we have the Endocrine glands. They are glands of the endocrine system that secrete hormones‚ directly into the blood. The main endocrine glands are the pituitary (anterior and posterior lobes)‚ thyroid‚ parathyroid‚ adrenal (cortex and medulla)‚ pancreas and gonads. The pituitary gland is attached to the hypothalamus of the lower forebrain. The thyroid gland consists of two lateral masses‚ connected by a cross bridge‚ that are attached to the trachea

which our prefrontal cortex processes information.” Paul E. Dux‚ co-author of the study‚ believes that this process can become faster through proper training. The study trained seven people to perform two simple tasks‚ either separately or together‚ and conducted brain scans of the participants. The individuals multitasked poorly at first but‚ with training‚ were able to adeptly perform the tasks simultaneously. Brain scans of the participants indicate that the prefrontal cortex quickened its ability

Are females better “empathizers” than males? Critically discuss evidence and possible explanations. Introduction The term “empathy” has a relatively short history. Its origins lie with the philosophers Theodor Lipps and Robert Vischer‚ having fashioned the German word Einfühlung in the late XIXth century‚ which directly translates to “feeling into”. It was later translated into the English word “empathy” by the psychologist Edward Tichner (Hojat et al. 2003). A universal definition of the

Apraxia: An Overview It is undisputed that there is a predisposition in human behavior to imitate and mimic those around us. It is even thought that this ability is endowed in humans from the time of birth. Newborns‚ for instance‚ first begin to imitate the gestures of their caregivers. Even adults have a tendency to mimic behaviors or attitudes. One neurological disorder‚ however‚ may debilitate this tendency. This is one of the most prominent characteristics of apraxia. According to Rachel

gives us the ability to read‚ watch television and drive. Our peripheral retina has blood vessel attached to them‚ but the fovea does not have blood vessels attached to them. Optic nerve: carries the electrical impulses from the retina to the visual cortex located in the brain Optic nerve head: The optic nerve passes through the circular area‚ it is the eye’s blind spot Vitreous body: It contains a transparent jelly substance called the vitreous humor. Medial rectus muscle: This muscle moves the eye
