The limbic system and prefrontal cortex play an extensive role in human behavior. The limbic system is a set of structures within the brain that controls human emotions and memories; intensifying during puberty. On the other hand‚ the prefrontal cortex is responsible for regulating behavior and thought analysis. This is developed later than the limbic system which has already begun developing during puberty as stated earlier. Due to the differences in developmental time‚ the extremities such as‚

All processes happening to make work certain parts of the body‚ have a biochemical or biophysical basis1. For instance: if signals wouldn´t be send through nerves to the heart to make it pump blood through the veins‚ it would simply stop beating. The central nervous system consists of different parts‚ including the brain‚ the spinal cord‚ the nerves and

HOW CAN BRAIN IMAGING HELP STUDY COGNITION? Intro * involves analysing activity within brain while performing various cog tasks – allow us to link bhvr & brain function to help understand how info is processed * cog activity assoc w neural activity in brain regions: * on scalp as electrical activity ie MEG‚ EEG (direct measures) * inside brain by measuring O2 consumption caused by neural activity ie PET‚ fMRI (indirect) * diff imaging techniques vary in their temp (time-based)

*How does the brain communicate with the rest of the body? How is the autonomic branch of the peripheral nervous system involved in controlling emotions? The nervous system as a whole includes the Central Nervous System‚ consisting of brain and spinal cord‚ and the Peripheral Nervous System‚ whose nerve fibres connect all parts of the body with the central nervous system. The Peripheral Nervous System is further subdivided into two branches‚ the Somatic Nervous system and the Autonomic Nervous System

One Brain or Two May 15‚ 2013 In the 1960s Roger Sperry and Michael Gazzaniga conducted human neurological studies in California to determine a better understanding regarding the communication of the brain’s hemispheres. Through their research we have learned many things about human brain function. The experiment involved removing the cause of epilepsy in severely affected individuals by severing the corpus callosum nerve fibers thereby separating left hemisphere from right. Many of the daily motions

All people do not deal with traumatic brain injuries the same in the way that it takes people a different amount of time to recover than others and that it effects the patient’s qualities that they had prior to the injury differently. Traumatic brain injuries are common and they disable 150 million- 200 million people per year which is the leading cause of disability in people under 40 years old by injuring the frontal and temporal lobes. Recovery times are different for different people (most people

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) can occur frequently and may cause serious damage. TBI can happen when a bump‚ jolt‚ blow‚ or any head injury causes damage to the brain. MIllions of people a year suffer brain injuries in the United States alone. More than half of those million incidents require the patient to be taken to a hospital because of the severity of the injury. Depending on how severe the injury is‚ it could cause serious brain damage and potentially be life threatening. Half of all TBIs occur
