The Brain is said to be the center of the nervous system of the human being. Brain consists of four main structural divisions or lobes. They are: frontal‚ parietal‚ occipital and temporal. All lobes carry particular function and dysfunction of any can bring the person serious troubles.I will describe four lobes of the brain‚ as well as identify how these lobes relate to psychological functions. Frontal Lobes Frontal lobes are responsible for reasoning‚ planning‚ movements‚ emotions‚ parts of speech

Chapter two was a very interesting section. It talked about things like genes and chromosomes. The nervous and endocrine system and how they interact to send messages to the brain so it can then be transfurred to the different parts of the body to respond. All the parts of the brain‚ and what parts control which parts of your body‚ memory‚ vision‚ and how it works. The effects on the brain when separated into two hemispheres. We also saw images of the brain through EEG‚ CT scan‚ MRI‚ PET‚ and F MRI

It is well known that Gliomas are amongst the most destructive types of cancers out there. Unfortunately‚ Gliomas are the most frequent tumors in the central nervous system accounting “for more than 32% of all primary brain and CNS tumors and 80% of all malignancies of the brain and CNS”. Tons of research has been done in this topic with a variety of different methods‚ however‚ it still has a poor prognosis with frequent recurrences. The gold standard so far to treat this type of tumors has been

pathways between emotional centres of the brain and the vestibular (balance) system. The purpose of this literature review is to provide a background to our new technique‚ Electrovestibulography‚ which measures signals from the vestibular system. Studies identifying links between the vestibular system and emotion processing systems supports our research aims‚ which are to explore biomarkers derived from the vestibular system that can help differentiate and monitor different neuropsychiatric disorders

column. The severity of this condition depends on where the protrusion is located in the spine. In this form the vertebrae usually develop normally‚ but the meninges are forced into the gaps between the vertebrae. With this type of spina bifida the nervous system usually remains undamaged. In most cases patients are unlikely to suffer any long term health issues‚ but could experience symptoms such as complete paralysis with bladder and bowel dysfunction. This condition often changes severity based on

indulgence in the activity is. What takes place after the drugs are consumed or that first game of poker takes place is completely neurological. In fact‚ addiction is a disease. When a heroin addict takes a hit‚ it stimulates the neurotransmitter system of his brain‚ producing dopamine and activating the feeling of pleasure he gets. This physical change that takes place in the body at this time is what classifies addiction as a disease. Addiction not only produces a large amount of dopamine‚ but

perspective is the reticular formation. It is a complex network of about 100 tiny nuclei that occupies the central core of the brain stem from the posterior boundary of the myelencephalon to the anterior boundary of the midbrain. It is so named because of its netlike appearance (reticulum means "little net"). Sometimes the reticular formation is referred to as the reticular activating system because parts of it seem to play a role in arousal. The various nuclei of the reticular formation are involved
