human began since the 14th week of prenatal development and this process will only be completed until someone reaches 20 up to 30 year of age. Myelination firstly takes place at the brain stem and cerebellum‚ and lastly expanding to the frontal lobes. Some of frontal lobe function includes decision-making‚ complex planning‚ and logical thinking. Thus‚ scientists presume that as myelin expands‚ the ability for someone to make a better judgment and assessment of situation will improve as

In contrast‚ implicit memory can be divided into numerous ‘subsystems’. These include procedural memories- consisting of how to do things‚ and emotional memories- consisting of memory of how emotional states. Scientifically speaking‚ the temporal lobe is where memory is stored. This is where the brain stores everything one remembers. The hippocampus is also responsible for a part of memory. This is where the process of new memories is introduced into long-term storage. If the hippocampus is damaged

Running Head: FERAL CHILDREN Feral Children Ana Karina Sifuentes California Baptist University Abstract Feral children are children that have been neglected and/or abused. There are some cases in which a child is left to fend for himself and is sometimes taken in by wild animals. These animals treat these children as their own and raise them. Because the children have no human contact they become feral children. After being neglected for so long‚ a part of the child’s brain will eventually close

Psychology chapter three vocabulary nervous system‚ a collection of hundreds of billions of specialized and interconnected cells through which messages are sent between the brain and the rest of the body. The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (CNS)‚ made up of the brain and the spinal cord‚ and the peripheral nervous system (PNS)‚ the neurons that link the CNS to our skin‚ muscles‚ and glands. And we will see that our behavior is also influenced in large part by the endocrine

Anteriorly‚ the medial wall is indented by the lacrimal groove and fossa for the lacrimal sac. The bone forming the medial wall is paper thin‚ and the ethmoid air cells are often visible through the bone of a dried cranium. * The lateral wall is formed by the frontal process of the zygomatic bone and the greater

Hypoglossal · Controls tongue movements Central and Lateral Sulci The central sulcus is a fissure or fold that separates the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe and the primary motor cortex from the primary somatosensory cortex. It is a prominent landmark of the brain. The lateral sulcus divides both the frontal and parietal lobe above from the temporal lobe below. The lateral sulci are also known as the fissure of Sylvius and the central sulci is also referred to as fissure of Rolando. The folds

Concussions in football A traumatic brain injury (TBI) also known as a concussion is a serious health problem to athletes‚ especially to football players. The brain controls the body and gives a person personality and defines every aspect of his or her life. A brain injury can disrupt a person’s life in an instance and like broken bones or bruises; TBI can limit or prevent normal body functions. A brain injury‚ unlike common injuries can damage mental abilities to include memory and speech
