the brain’s mass‚ is made up of four sections‚ or lobes. These four sections are: the frontal lobe‚ the temporal lobe‚ the parietal lobe‚ and the occipital lobe. All of these lobes are in charge of their own set of tasks and functions (Jeanty‚ 2009). The frontal lobe is in charge of planning‚ problem solving‚ personality organizing‚ selective attention‚ and a variety of other “higher cognitive functions” (Johnson Jr.‚ 2009). The temporal lobe consists of two sections‚ one on each side of the

In R v Hoyle (No 2)‚ the Court considers the sentencing of the offender‚ Arthur Hoyle‚ who was found guilty of an act of indecency without consent and sexual intercourse without consent. While determining an appropriate sentence‚ the Court had reference to three medical reports tendered on behalf of the offender‚ the authors of which each had “a different speciality.” The medical history of the offender and the subsequent diagnosis provided by the medical reports presented a unique challenge to the

There is the amygdala which is in the temporal lobe which can help evoke memories‚ emotions‚ and fear. The hippocampus is medial to the temporal lobe and is responsible for learning and making permanent memories. We also have the pituitary gland‚ which is at the base of your skull‚ produces hormones. The thalamus is located in the uppermost area of

teenagers take risks because of their brains. Teenagers are known for making impulsive decisions that may lead to tragic events. Kolbert believes that teenagers make rash decisions because their frontal lobes are immature‚ their nucleus accumbens are augmented‚ and their primate ancestors were also rash. The frontal lobe of the brain is “responsible for planning‚ for self-awareness‚ and for judgement”(84) and they are the last to fully develop. According to neurologist Francis Jensen: The brain is still busy

Without it we may act differently than what we currently act because we wouldn’t see things the same way (Pinel‚ 2009). 5. Frontal lobe Each frontal lobe has two very unique functional areas which are the precentral gyrus and the frontal cortex which is right beside it which have motor capabilities. Frontal lobes are also one of the four main regions

PS1005 Provide an overview of the principal structures of the midbrain‚ hindbrain and forebrain and their functions. The human nervous system consists of many structures. We distinguish between the central- and the peripheral nervous system. The two major subdivisions of the central nervous system are the brain and the spinal cord‚ which is found in the spinal column. The peripheral nervous system consists of the nerves outside the brain and the spinal cord. The spinal cord communicates

There are four lobes making up the cerebral cortex. The frontal lobe is located in the front of the brain. It’s associated with cognition‚ motor skills and reasoning (something that sets humans apart from other organisms). The parietal lobe is associated with processing sensory information. The temporal lobe‚ located below the parietal lobe‚ “behind” the ear‚ is associated with interpreting sounds. Since the hippocampus is located here‚ it’s also linked to memories. The occipital lobe is associated

the nervous system. The brain is entirely associated to our personalities. Exclusively‚ there are six different sections in the brain that joins to one another to properly function on a daily basis. The brain consists of frontal lobes‚ parietal lobes‚ occipital lobes‚ temporal lobes‚ a cerebellum‚ and the brainstem.
