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)

Left Brain vs. Right Brain: Implications of Learning Foundations of Online Learning Abstract A left-brain dominant person’s attributes are different than that of a right-brained person. This difference causes these two groups to have different learning styles. A left-brain dominant tends to be better at spelling and math. This is because this person can see all of the pieces. A right- brain dominant person tends be better at writing‚ biology‚ and other hands on subjects

Diamond Withers BEH 225 Professor Bates 8/26/2014 The brain is partitioned into four main lobes‚ which include; the frontal‚ temporal‚ parietal‚ the temporal‚ and occipital lobe. The frontal lobes are concerned with management of movement‚ from stimulation of a person muscles to conceptual planning on what to carry out. The temporal lobe is the main area for premature auditory processing and a high-level visual processing area. The frontal lobes are situated on the front and the top

The ear is an organ of the body that is used for hearing and balance. It is connected to the brain by the auditory nerve and is composed of three divisions‚ the external ear‚ the middle ear‚ and the inner ear. The greater part of which is enclosed within the temporal bone. The ear is looked upon as a miniature receiver‚ amplifier and signal-processing system. The structure of the outer ear catching sound waves as they move into the external auditory canal. The sound waves then hit the eardrum

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
