The brain is a beautiful live organ located inside the head‚ through inside of the skull. The skull inside the head of the body‚ is a very thin-like bone‚ a quarter inch thick‚ that makes up the human face structure and protects our brain from getting damaged. However‚ the skull can get damaged by a violent blow or jolt to the head from an external force of impact‚ like for example‚ a car accident. Consequently‚ if the head is whipped around‚ small tearing occurs affecting the brain‚ resulting in

Discuss the use of brain imaging technologies to investigate the relationship between biological factors and behavior. Many early experiments on brain involved techniques that raise serious ethical concerns. For example‚ in order to study behavioral changes‚ psychologists practiced invasive methods such as removing or scarring brain tissues. However‚ with the great advent of brain imaging technologies‚ modern psychologists have been able to investigate the relationship between biological factors

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

Role of Brain in Cognitive Functions Cathy Moyer-Larsen Role of Brain in Cognitive Functions Cognitive brain functions enable the ability of the brain to attain information in a meaningful way. Cognitive psychology is what happens in the mind. Two important conditions concerning the ability to use cognitive brain functions is the current mood and health (Willingham‚ 2007). Cognitive functions originate in the part of the brain called the cerebrum. Majority of brain mass is in the cerebral

Neuroimaging in traumatic brain injury 1.COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT) : While severe and moderate traumatic head and brain injuries often mandate head CT‚ several clinical scales require specific criteria in determining the need for neuroimaging after a mild TBI. These include the New Orleans Criteria (NOC) and the Canadian CT Head Rule (CCHR).(45) Both are relatively straight forward and use seven criteria readily obtained in the setting and evaluation of mild TBI. A head-to-head comparison

heard of traumatic brain injury? Do you know what causes traumatic brain injuries? The most common traumatic brain injury is a concussion. One of the most common causes of a traumatic brain injury is not wearing a helmet. Traumatic brain injuries caused by not wearing a helmet can ruin your life and cost you lots of money. A concussion can ruin your life for forever and a day. “According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention‚ 1.7 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury each year

The Left Brain vs. Right Brain: The Impact on Learning Did you know that the two halves of your brain function for totally different reasons? The left side is often thought of as the brainy side‚ while the right side is viewed as the artsy side. The logical left side and the creative right side work together in perfect harmony. In order to learn most efficiently‚ the two hemispheres of the brain have to simultaneously work independently and cooperatively (Toga.) It is commonly known that people

Do you believe that Cellphones cause brain tumors? The issue defines that all phones may cause radiation to your brain which regular people or scientists believe otherwise. Always two different sides to the story just like this one. People even scientists know that maybe cell phones cause tumors. Radiation from your cell phone can cause cancer and the energy is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Many studies have examined people that do have different types of tumors if they’re are cell phone users

tutorial/review covers functional brain imaging methods and results used to study language and reading disabilities. Although the main focus of this paper is on functional MRI and functional MR spectroscopy‚ other imaging techniques are discussed briefly such as positron emission tomography (PET)‚ electroencephalography (EEG) ‚ magnetoencepholography (MEG)‚ and MR diffusion imaging. These functional brain imaging studies have demonstrated that dyslexia is a brain-based disorder and that serial imaging
