Please remember to read the functions of Hypothalamus since this also forms a part of the limbic system and the class has been taken separately There are other areas in the structures near to the limbic system that are intimately connected to it – namely cingulate gyrus‚ basal ganglia‚ ventral tegmental area of the brain stem (just below the thalamus) and prefrontal cortex. So their functions are also needed to be studied alongwith this. LIMBIC SYSTEM 16th April‚ 2014 History

Pakenham states that a student can develop his or her skills in grammar and vocabulary to become close to a native‚ but in phonology it is unusual. Pakenhan mentions‚ in the other hand‚ that several studies demonstrate that children with age lower than‚ on average‚ twelve-years-old

Music is promoted in all traditions for the well-being of the listener. The objective of this study was to analyze the emotional changes due to Indian music and their effects on the EEG. The two-dimensional emotion models and their effect on the brain were evaluated while listening to Indian raga. Asymmetrical alpha component energy was noticed in the frontal locations with the relative alpha component energy being lower at F3 and F7 positions when compared with F4 and F8 electrode position while

Describe and evaluate biological explanations of OCD (10 marks) The biological approach as an explanation of OCD believes that the disorder is caused by a fault in our body‚ either through genes‚ hormones‚ the brain‚ or neurotransmitters‚ therefore suggesting that OCD is caused by our nature‚ rather than our upbringing. This means that since we are born with the body we have‚ if we have OCD‚ it is innate within us. One biological explanation for OCD is the genetic explanation. The genetic
