“So plastic is your brain that even if you were born with half of it‚ you would still be able to live a relatively normal life.” The quote suggest that the brain is indeed able to adapt to carry out all necessary function with what it has‚ even if it’s only half of it. This means the brain is in essence able to change its structure to maximize what it has and accommodate all higher function as well as the basic. “…relatively normal…” suggest that despite its adaptation‚ those born with half a brain

Furthermore‚ it was also found that an area called the posterior cingulate cortex is what helps an individual feel their body and realize where they are

(Optional) Scientists have used a drawing called a motor homunculus to show the connection between different body parts and areas of the brain. This drawing is a cartoon of the human body‚ where the bigger the body parts‚ the more area of the motor cortex that is dedicated to controlling them. If you were to draw this figure‚ what body parts do you think would be most exaggerated? Explain. If I were to draw this‚ the body parts that would be more exaggerated would be the face and the hands since

The brain is split into the left and right hemispheres. Different brain areas are divided by deep grooves called sulci.There are nine parts of the human brain. These nine parts are the Broca’s area‚ Cerebellum‚ Cerebrum‚ Frontal lobe‚ Motor area‚ Occipital lobe‚ Parietal lobe‚ sensory area‚ and temporal lobe. The brain is split into the left and right hemispheres. Different brain areas are divided by deep grooves called Sulci. There are five key parts of the brain that controls the function of your

Part I Option B The case of Phineas Gage is one of the most often cited in biological psychology. Explain what we can learn about the relationship between brain and behaviour from this and similar cases and describe techniques used by biological psychologists that can supplement our knowledge of this relationship. This essay explains what can be learnt about the relationship between brain and behaviour using the case of Phineas Gage and imaging techniques. It starts by briefly describing neurons

(Mackey et al.). Students with thicker cortical lobes will score higher on standardized tests‚ as compared to students with thinner cortical lobes. Socioeconomic statuses are paired with brain development‚ leading to achievement gaps. The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is sensitive to stress and is important for language; therefore‚ PFC can slowly develop due to the child’s environmental influence into adulthood. Higher income students have more cortical thickness in their right hemisphere‚ but not the left
