Task 1 In this essay I will explore with the use of evidence and research the statement made by Richard Layard that happiness comes from outside and within. The happiness comes from the outside will be shown to be directly attributable to having a stable relationship‚ enjoyable experiences and environment‚ whereas the happiness within section will focus on the brains activity‚ the body’s chemical make-up and the biological factors. Firstly I will explore the outside factors that can have a direct

(1957). Researchers were studying amnesia. HM was nine years old when he suffered from head injury. Aftermath of his head injury was an epileptic seizure. In order to stop the seizure doctors decided to remove tissue from his lobe‚ including the hippocampus. After the surgery HM was able to recall his past but he was unable to form new memories. HM suffers from anterograde amnesia which is the failure to store memories after trauma. He is able to have normal conversations but he cannot recognize people’s

process triggers cellular processes that enhance the signaling strength between the two cells: added receptors‚ larger synaptic surface area‚ and so forth. Matsuzaki and colleagues (2004) investigated the process of LTP on dendritic spines in the hippocampus‚ a brain structure particularly involved in memory. When NMDA receptors on a spine are activated‚ the spine grows in size. This enlargement may be permanent and is subsequently associated with greater signal strength from the pre-synaptic cell.

individual who suffered from anterograde amnesia was H.M. He suffered from severe epilepsy‚ so a medical procedure was done that was supposed to alleviate him of his symptoms. Parts of H.M.’s medial temporal lobe were removed‚ which included the hippocampus. H.M.’s epilepsy was improved but he was now faced with an even bigger problem‚ he could no longer form new memories. His short term memory was unaffected‚ he was able to recall a series of numbers that were momentarily presented but could not retain

attempting to denote the physiological origins of emotive resilience which occurred in rats which had opportunities for exercise and exploration (HHS‚ 2011). Research has revealed that there is a possible link in the reduction of neurogenesis in the hippocampus and the incidence of depression as reported by Ernst Olson‚ Pinel‚ Lam & Christie (2005). Both anti-depressant medications and exercise increase the production of new neurons and there is strong evidence for the probable means to explain how exercise

In the movie 50 First Dates‚ Lucy Whitmore‚ portrayed by Drew Barrymore‚ is an art teacher that suffers from anterograde amnesia. Anterograde amnesia is a loss of the ability to create memories after the event that caused amnesia has occurred. Because of this‚ Lucy only remembers things that occurred prior to her misfortunate car accident. For example‚ her father and brother go out of their way to reassure Lucy that the day is October 13‚ 2002‚ so that she does not suffer from the shocking truth

Then over time the brain will shrink dramatically‚ affecting nearly every function or part. One part of the brain that is the hippocampus and the shrinkage is severe and also plays a key role in the cortex which it shrivels up damaging areas that are involved in thinking‚ planning‚ and remembering stages. The normal functions of the brain is the left and right sides of the brain is
