linking it to the role of the frontal lobe in execution giving evidence to support the fact that these roles subserves psychological functions with a view to reaching a conclusion. The frontal lobe comprises about one third of the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is made up of four main areas called lobes‚ which are named after the bones of the skull that cover them‚ and they are the frontal lobe‚ the parietal lobe‚ the temporal lobe and the occipital lobe. The brain contains two of each lobe

1. Define and identify general characteristics of cerebral palsy (CP). Cerebral palsy is a condition in which permanent disabling symptoms are a result of damage to the motor control areas of the brain. Characteristics of cerebral palsy include abnormal reflex development‚ seizures‚ speech and language disorders‚ sensory impairments‚ bone growth‚ and respiratory conditions. 2. There are three neuromotor classifications (types) of CP. Identify the area of the brain affected in each as well as a

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has become a practical and effective technique in its use to study cognitive function (Jahanshahi & Rotherwell‚ 2000). It has been used to explore the motor-cortex‚ through its visible muscle twitch effect after stimulation‚ and primary visual pathways (Jahanshahi & Rotherwell; Beckers & Zeki‚ 1995). Through this exploration it was found that TMS can be used to create ‘virtual lesions’ in the brain in which cortical processing is disrupted (Jahanshahi & Rotherwell)

Cerebral palsy encompasses a group of conditions that are caused by problems in brain development. Disturbances in the brain usually occur during fetal or infant brain development and effects movement and motor control in children (Lisovska‚ 2016). The cerebral cortex‚ which is the part of the brain responsible for directing muscle movement‚ is damaged and cerebral palsy thus develops. Cerebral palsy can be classified into four types which are made distinct because of its location and abnormality

Cerebral laterization and sex differences in intelligence and visuospatial processing Cerebral lateralization can be defined as “the functional specialization of the two cerebral hemispheres” (Groen‚ Whitehouse‚ Badcock & Bishop‚ 2012‚ p. 257). In this section general intelligence and visuospatial processing concerning cerebral lateralization and sex differences are discussed. Cerebral laterization of intelligence may have an effect on one hemisphere‚ sometimes both‚ depending on how general abilities

In class were briefly touched on the subject of mirror neurons‚ which are neurons that fire when an animal acts or observes the same action done by another. We learned that these neurons exist primarily in the ventral premotor cortex F5 areas of a monkey’s brain. Experiments proved that neurons in the VPC F5 area fire when a monkey does an action‚ but also fire when a monkey watches a human do the same action. However‚ when the monkey watches the human just carry out the motions of the action‚ not

Roger W. Sperry Introduction Born August 20‚ 1913‚ Roger W. Sperry‚ won the 1981 Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine. He shared it with two other scientists‚ Wiesel and Hubel‚ for research on the nervous system and brain. They were praised for demonstrating the difference between the two hemispheres of the brain and special functions of the right brain. (Roger W. Sperry Biography (n.d.) A moderately controversial psycho biologist‚ Sperry changed the history of psychology. In 1935‚ Sperry
