Because every part of the brain controls a certain part of human behavior‚ damage to a certain part of the head will only affect certain behaviors of an individual. In addition‚ damage to certain areas can cause aphasia‚ which is a speech disturbance resulting from brain damage (Coon & Mitterer‚ 2013). As

The direct and indirect pathways are circuits heavily involved in the regulation of movement. The direct pathway is thought to decrease inhibitory basal ganglia output (coming from the GPi/SNpr nuclei)‚ whereas the indirect pathway increases inhibitory basal ganglia output. Therefore one would expect the direct pathway to increase motor activity and movement and the indirect pathway to inhibit it. So‚ when the direct pathway is activated‚ cells in the striatum make inhibitory connections with cells

Psychological theory was full with associations‚ and concepts of nervous tissue were insignificant. Subjective experience‚ such as synesthesia‚ was believed not a proper subject for scientific study.(pg3) Synesthesia’s history is interesting

Huntington’s Disease Background Huntington’s disease is inherited as an autosomal dominant disease that gives rise to progressive‚ elective (localized) neural cell death associated with choleric movements (uncontrollable movements of the arms‚ legs‚ and face) and dementia. It is one of the more common inherited brain disorders. About 25‚000 Americans have it and another 60‚000 or so will carry the defective gene and will develop the disorder as they age. Physical deterioration occurs over a period
