Schizophrenia is a psychological disorder which changes a person’s idea of reality. Everything around them becomes altered due to the particular areas in the brain

ways to the female brain not only in size but in structure as well. The average male brain weighs around 11% more than the female brain (Craig et al.‚ 2004‚ 270). The differences in the structure are in certain regions‚ for example the cerebrum‚ frontal and medial paralimbic cortices‚ the fronto –medial cortex‚ the amygdala‚ and the hypothalamus. These areas of the brain control different behaviors as well as actions and reactions that can contribute to criminal

Each aspect of our brain‚ our mind‚ allows us to react without even thinking to. We are made up of hemispheres‚ lobes‚ and all kinds of systems. Each part with a purpose to allow us to move‚ touch‚ taste‚ and speak. Sindhu V Kashyap believes that for us to have a better understanding we have to develop self-empowerment. If we practice self-meditating and relaxing

alcohol have on a person’s body? First off‚ alcohol is a depressant. It slows down a driver’s nervous system‚ making it harder to process information and slows someone’s reaction time. Alcohol affects the frontal lobe‚ which affects your motor neurons and cerebral cortex. Damage of your frontal lobe‚ means every good judgement is instantly thrown out of the window. “A drunk driver with executive dysfunction may not be able anticipate and plan for the future‚ making the associated decisions‚” explained

The striatum in the brain is believed to play a large factor in the cause of the symptoms of Huntington’s disease. Its function is to process all of the signals within the neocortex and then pass them to other parts of the basal ganglia and frontal lobes. The parts of the brain that the striatum sends its information to are known for playing a large role in the planning and execution of a person’s bodily movement. Huntington’s disease seems to disrupt the striatum’s pathway in sending its messages

The five major structures of the brain are myelencephalon‚ Metencephalon‚ mesencephalon‚ diencephalon and telencephalon. The myelencephalon carries signals from the brain to the entire parts of the human body and it is also uniquely shaped looking like a little net. The Metencephalon is made up of ascending and descending tracts just like the myelencephalon. It has two major divisions which are pons and the cerebellum. The mesencephalon has two divisions also and they are the tectum and the tegmentum

I love to draw and read so the occipital lobe would not be one that I would want to damage. I am a musician so if I damaged my temporal lobe I would lose my ability to hear very well. The frontal lobe did not seem reasonable for me to damage because I would lose my ability to remember things and plan stuff. Having my parietal lobe damaged in the left hemisphere I would lose the ability to problem solve and have some of my senses as well
