My research paper will be on the temporal lobes‚ which is what I believe to be the most important part of the brain. I will be explaining what its functions are and why they are so important. To begin the temporal lobes are structures in the cerebral cortex‚ they are located just above the ears‚ and are almond shaped. They are involved in the functions of hearing‚ language processing‚ and memory. Now that you know these details I will now go more into detail of how the temporal lobes control these

A baby’s brain is like a lantern; it is vaguely aware of everything. Children have more neurons actively working than adults because the brain provides too many connections before it decides which ones to keep. This means that children are overly sensitive to stimuli in their environment. Children will absorb information from any environment that they are placed in: school‚ home‚ or on the streets. If a child is exposed to negative stimuli‚ the risk of future psychological defects is increased exponentially

Stroop Effect (Blindsight) Stroop effect is a good project to do if one wants to know more about the eyes and brains connection. The most commonly used example is what is known as the Stroop Test‚ which compares the time needed to name colors when they are printed in an ink color that matches their name (e.g.‚ green‚ yellow‚ red‚ blue‚ brown‚ purple) with the time needed to name the same colors when they are printed in an ink color that does not match their name (e.g.‚ blue‚ red‚ purple‚ green

Cerebral Palsy Causes Cerebral palsy results from damage to certain parts of the developing brain. •This damage can occur early in pregnancy when the brain is just starting to form‚ during the birth process as the child passes through the birth canal‚ or after birth in the first few years of life. •In many cases‚ the exact cause of the brain damage is never known. At one time‚ problems during birth‚ usually inadequate oxygen‚ were blamed for cerebral palsy. •We now know that fewer than

Cerebral palsy remains one of the most common debilitating diseases in the world. Factors such as neuromuscular incoordination‚ use of soft diet and delayed oral clearance of food make maintenance of optimum oral hygiene a challenging task in these children. The compromised oral hygiene in turn make these children highly vulnerable to dental disease. Maintaining optimal oral/dental health in CP children is of utmost importance as these children usually suffer from several associated general health

allows us to speak to others. This information is transferred to Wernicke’s area which is involved in the comprehension of spoken language and the inferior parietal lobe‚ that recognize the phonemic segmentation and played it along with the prefrontal cortex‚ interpret those sounds. We can call the Wernicke´s área with another names: knowledge area‚ general interpretative area‚ tertiary association area. It is important for the understanding of words. The Broca´s area is connected to Wernicke´s area

Application of "Whole Brain Teaching" in the Classroom Situation. Introduction we really wonder for our tiresome effort to teach our students when have almost zero result at hand. On the other hand just a click of action gives a good result. As a good teacher‚ we always try to make our students understand the problems and cope up with the information of the prescribed curriculum of their standard. We use different teaching strategies‚ tools and teaching materials yet we do not get good result

become known as Broca’s area‚ and the deficit in language production as Broca’s aphasia. Another prominent name in this field was Roger W. Sperry who won a Nobel prize in 1981 for his discoveries concerning the functional specialization of the cerebral hemispheres. The brain is divided into two hemispheres‚ the left and right‚ connected in the middle by a bridge known as the corpus callosum. People who suffered from epilepsy would sometimes have their corpus collosum severed
