various frontal lobe processes (Stuss‚ Alexander‚ Shallice‚ Picton‚ Binns‚ Macdonald‚ Borowiec & Douglas‚ 2005). Stuss et al (2005) showed that lesions in the superior medial frontal lobes were associated with slow reaction times and with failure to decrease reaction time after a warning signal. Furthermore‚ lesions in the right lateral frontal lobe prevented the decrease in reaction time with increasing FP that was seen in healthy subjects and in patients with lesions elsewhere in the frontal lobes

because the frontal lobe is less developed‚ 17-year-olds rely more heavily on the amygdala… to make decisions than adults do. The amygdala… is one area of the brain associated with strong negative emotions‚ including impulsive and aggressive behavior… These two findings are supported by imaging studies that show teens struggling to reason through a dangerous scenario‚ while adults identify and react to a bad idea with considerably less effort expended in the later-developing frontal lobe.” ("Findings:

The sensory process begins as the ear senses the crack of the bat as it strikes the ball. The information received by the ear is received by the temporal lobe which alerts that an action has taken place which begins the transmission of neural messaging. Next‚ a dendrite at the receiving end of neuron cell will take the initial transmission and carry it forward to the body of the cell. Once the dendrite has received enough information the process will continue by undergoing a nerve impulse sending

The human brain is not fully developed until age twenty five (Aamodt)‚ but students are expected to use the full capacity very early on. Different parts of the brain develop at different rates‚ and students have high expectations before their brain is ready to perform such tasks (NINDS; Marlowe). Continuous stress can even slow or stop brain development and lead to learning difficulties (UGA; Bristol Science Centre; Scott). Functions of the brain are important to comprehend so that we may determine

Frotntotemporal Dementia‚ FTD‚ is a type of dementia that affects the frontal lobes of the brain. The nerve cell damage that leads to loss of function in these brain regions‚ which variably cause worsening in their behavior and personality‚ language disturbances‚ or alterations in muscle or motor functions‚ is caused by FTD (Frontotemporal

I’m also curious if her seizures are in her temporal lobe or extending down into the amygdala and limbic structures like he had. This also raises a lot of more questions for me about epilepsy and memory and I just want to be able to learn in all and take it all in to get a better understand of people and

In regards to the pre frontal cortex Raine‚ Lencz‚ Bihrle‚ LaCasse and Colletti (2000) found an 11 % reduction in volume of grey matter in individuals with antisocial personality disorder. This would possibly support the association between pre frontal cortex functioning and antisocial behaviour but what of violence?
