designated spot for most important things. Levitin described different ways that stress can affect with you. Stress releases cortisol‚ which is dangerous. Pre-mortem reduces cortisol from your body. Also the way memory works in our brain is called hippocampus‚ and Levitin used mental pre-planning with his doctor. I will now explain how cortisol is released by your stress and arises conflicts with your body.

Advances in brain imaging technology (BIT’s) enable us to investigate the relationship between biological factors and human behaviours in greater depth. BIT’s are used to move away from more invasive techniques of studying the brain‚ such as liasoning - intentional scarring of the brain‚ and ablation - intentionally cutting out pieces of the brain. The brain imaging technologies that will be examined are electroencephalography (EEP)‚ functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)‚ magnetic resonance

English B Text Production – Argument Topic: Should the legal drinking age in Australia be raised to 21? Raising the legal drinking age in Australia to 21 proves to have many foreseeable positive and negative outcomes‚ as various physical and psychological health complications along with external issues that can affect multiple people are involved‚ each demonstrating different consequences for young adults. These concerns often revolve around drink driving‚ brain development and social influences

For instance‚ in a study on extracellular 5-HT clearance in the dorsal hippocampus of rats‚ researchers employed in vivo chronoamperometry techniques‚ inserting a Nafion-coated CFM into the DG and CA3 regions of the hippocampus. Inserting 5-HT into the extracellular fluid around these areas resulted in electrochemical signals‚ which were compared to the signals produced in the presence of 5-HT transporter-

Noble‚ Norman & Farah (2015) wrote that the ability to form new memories is essential to success in school for learning‚ thus the full development of the hippocampal region is crucial. I plan to investigate the variation of size and activity of the hippocampus area‚ by using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI will be used to show the size of the hippocampal region. I propose that the material hardship of a family will negatively affect the development of the child’s hippocampal

The test showed that the two areas of the brain that were most affected in adolescents that drank were the hippocampus and the prefrontal area. The hippocampus controls learning memory and was at least 10 percent smaller in teenagers that had been drinking more and for much longer. The damage to the hippocampus caused decreased Verbal and non verbal information recall‚ memory‚ general information‚ vocabulary‚ and memory retrieval. The tests showed that adolescents

functions. The neuro-imaging and post-mortem studies have indicated morphological changes shown by reductions in grey-matter volume and glial density in the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus‚ which receive the most attention regarding depression. Studies also indicate that declines in the function of the hippocampus function could potentially be responsible for the hypercortisolemia seen in depression. Researchers also believe that the mesolimbic dopamine system that consists of the ventral tegmental
