large areas of the brain have been found to be involved in speech processing. In more recent research‚ subcortical regions (those lying below the cerebral cortex such as the putamen and the caudate nucleus) as well as the pre-motor areas (BA 6) have received increased attention. It is now generally assumed that the following structures of the cerebral cortex near the primary and secondary auditory cortexes play a fundamental role in speech processing: * Superior temporal gyrus (STG):

The Nutty Professor and Brains‚ Brains‚ Brains By Jana Gilbert “Hello‚ class!” Professor Dobbins spoke enthusiastically as the last student entered the room. Today‚ he was going to talk about his favorite part of the human anatomy: the brain. “Today is going to be exciting!” All of the students groaned. They knew that when he said something would be “exciting‚” it was always boring. Always. “How many of you know what the Ancient Egyptians believed about a person’s behavior? Who controlled

The limbic system is a neural system located below the cerebral hemispheres of the brain. Three structures that are part of the limbic system are the hypothalamus‚ hippocampus‚ and the amygdala. These three structures work together as a whole making it feasible for the body to function properly. The hypothalamus is a small‚ but busiest part of the brain located just below the thalamus and is mainly concerned with homeostasis. It is an important link in the command chain governing bodily maintenance

The five major structures of the brain are myelencephalon‚ Metencephalon‚ mesencephalon‚ diencephalon and telencephalon. The myelencephalon carries signals from the brain to the entire parts of the human body and it is also uniquely shaped looking like a little net. The Metencephalon is made up of ascending and descending tracts just like the myelencephalon. It has two major divisions which are pons and the cerebellum. The mesencephalon has two divisions also and they are the tectum and the tegmentum

The means by which the brain performs are referred to as neuroprocesses‚ which are related to learning and memory. The brain is the center of every function of the body that controls functional learning and memory and how the two are interdependent. Learning occurs when the memory is stimulated. The memory is activated once learning has taken place. With knowledge at the center of attention‚ it is imperative to stimulate the brain through lifelong learning to achieve longevity and quality of life

I was walking down the trail to Sombrio Beach which is about a 1.5k hike down a steep trail to the ocean. I had a surfboard under my right arm‚ an axe in my left hand‚ and a large 40 litre hiking backpack fully loaded with supplies on my back. About half way down there is a left turn in the trail which has a declining
