Trauma is a part of everyone’s life. Some people are affected outwardly‚ others are not. Trauma does not have to be a traumatizing event‚ sometimes it can just be the stress of everyday life taking an overwhelming toll on the body and the mind. Trauma can change a person for the rest of their life. It can change their behavior‚ personality‚ and even the size of their hippocampus. The hippocampus‚ which is the center for emotion and memory‚ is a very important part of the brain. When most people think

Biochemistry and Thought Production A humans cognition and thought processes are based on biochemical reactions within the human body. Biochemistry is the function of chemicals and processes occurring within a living being. It can be used in many ways to explain how our thoughts are produced. Through the functionalist perspective mental states and brain states are combined to form a matrix of thought. Functionalists argue that environmental inputs and mental states play a pivotal role

Music is a very powerful entity that can drive people’s emotions. Our body experiences something similar to a chain reaction when listening to music therefore; the psychological relationship between music and the mind is very powerful. The auditory cortex in the temporal lobe of the brain connects directly or indirectly to other major nerves of the body. These connections include the nerves in the back muscles‚ larynx‚ lungs‚ heart‚ and the abdominal organs‚ including the entire digestive tract. It

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

information is filtered‚ dismissed and never stored. However‚ if this information is work second consideration‚ it is routed to and held in the hippocampus where if it is deemed important it is organized and indexed by the hippocampus and stored in the cortex. Our goal is to make information relevant enough to the student for it to be processed and stored in long term memory. Not only does physical movement give the brain more information to process and store when learning it also is healthy for the

- An eminent student of the nervous system stated his disappointment with the contribution made by comparative method to an understanding of cerebral function. - "I believe that precise comparative data‚ carefully analyzed‚ can lead to testable hypotheses concerning the taxonomy of behavior; that by observation and experiment such hypotheses can then be tested ad the resulting data systematized. These systematic taxonomic schemes then serve as a base for further hypotheses." - "The similarities

The temporal lobes are separated from the frontal and parietal lobes above it by the fissure of Sylvius (Company‚ 2007). The Wernicke area of the brain is in the left temporal lobe and has functions such as language comprehension

Summary on Brain Plasticity Research and treatments in the neurorehabilitation field are starting to excel. It was first thought that the central nervous system could not repair itself after an injury. It wasn’t until the 1970’s that research studies showed it had the ability to heal itself to some extent. Researchers ultimately wanted to know if there was a relationship between the central nervous system and cortical plasticity so this knowledge could be used to benefit patient recovery. One
