Alzheimer’s Disease is a degenerative brain process that produces‚ usually slowly over time‚ dementia or senility. It is also known as senile dementia. The brain is disrupted from the way it normally works – mental function becomes impaired -- and the patient’s memory‚ ability to think clearly and sometimes the patient’s language is impaired. The causes of Alzheimer’s are still not known -- but we do know that the disease produces physical change in the brain. There is shrinking in some areas and

2014 Dr. Gigi Servis The brain is separated into four main lobes‚ which include the frontal‚ temporal‚ parietal‚ and occipital lobe. The frontal lobes are concerned with management of movement‚ from stimulation of a person muscles to conceptual planning on what to carry out. The temporal lobe is the main area for premature auditory processing and a high-level visual processing area. The frontal lobes are located on the front and the top area of the brain. Their major functions include

Astrocytes help form the blood brain barrier. The blood brain barrier prevents harmful materials from moving out of the bloodstream and into the brain. It helps maintain an ion gradient and is important in the transport of materials into and out of the brain. Its endothelial cells contain many tight and adherens junctions‚ which make the endothelial cells of these capillaries tighter than in other places in the body. Astrocyte feet are in physical contact with the capillary endothelial cells. In

The Five Major Structures of the Brain The brain is an amazing structure. It is the most complex and interesting part of the human body. It is like a huge computer that runs every function of the body. The brain is made up of the five major structures that include: the myelencephalon‚ metencephalon‚ mesencephalon‚ deicephalon‚ and the telencephalon. Each of these structures also has substructures involved within them. You start learning how to do things when you are born and keep learning as

Brain-Based Learning: The Neurological Findings About the Human Brain that Every Teacher Should Know to be Effective Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present the main neurological findings about the human brain that provide the basis for brain-based learning‚ and that represent a narrow field of cognitive science as a whole. The findings that are described were made primarily by neuroscientists who studied the structure and functions of the nervous system with the purpose of correcting
