Travis Sullins Psy. 1010‚ Assignment 1 February 3‚ 2013 The Behaving Brain The Video begins by explaining what we learned in class on Thursday about how the brain is made up of and how it works. It explained that a message will travel down axon then the message travels into the dendrites that release the message into the synapse. The brain becomes the most complex thing in the universe because it controls so many different things in the human body. It regulates our metabolism‚ temperature

has revealed that the differences between men and women are caused by brain structure differences and they have effects on development of medicine. The research shows the brains of men and women have similarities and differences. This research also has implications for the development of medicine in the future. There are many similarities and differences between the brains of men and women. First‚ they have similarities in brain functions. For example‚ parts of the frontal lobe deal with decision-making

As the lead of the team heard of the warning his brain took control. Two parts of the brain were responsible‚ diencephalon: thalamus and hypothalamus‚ they manage the fight or flight response hardwired. This drives a person to do an action without even thinking. The control center collects information from the situation outside. Usually‚ the

BLUE BRAIN PROJECT WHAT IS BLUE BRAIN? * BLUE BRAIN—The world’s first virtual brain * It’s being developed by IBM * Within 30 years we will be able to scan ourselves into computers The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to create a synthetic brain by reverse-engineering the mammalian brain down to the molecular level. The aim of the project‚ founded in May 2005 by the Brain and Mind Institute of the École Polytechnique in Lausanne‚ Switzerland‚ is to study the brain’s architectural and

The Brain and Behavior BEH 225 September 21‚ 2014 Clifford Marsh Behaviors associated with the frontal lobe and the temporal lobe both covers a certain scope of human behaviors. Because every part of the brain controls a certain part of human behavior‚ damage to a certain part of the head will only affect certain behaviors of an individual. In addition‚ damage to certain areas can cause aphasia‚ which is a speech disturbance resulting from brain damage (Coon & Mitterer‚ 2013). As

One study of localisation of function in the brain is Maguire (2000)‚ who looked at the role of the hippocampus in spatial memory. Localisation is a theory that different parts of the brain are responsible for certain behaviours or functions. The hippocampus is located in the medial temporal lobe of the brain‚ and is associated with memory and spatial navigation. Maguire’s study provides some insight into the localisation of these functions in the hippocampus. Maguire’s study was a natural experiment

In Bronwen Wallace’s‚ 7 stanza poem “Common Magic”‚ the reader is shown different subjects’ lives and how they coincide in the same world. With each person different‚ along with the problems they must face‚ there is an unexpected sense of connection through the literary work. In Bronwen Wallace’s poem “Common Magic” the poet uses‚ imagery‚ and structure to illustrate that the world still goes on regardless of the problems you and everyone else in society may face.

BLUE BRAIN Paper Presentation ADVANTAGES AND LIMITATION Advantages: 1. We can remember things without any effort. 2. Decision can be made without the presence of a person. 3. Even after the death of a man his intelligence can be used. 4. The activity of different animals can be understood. That means by interpretation of the electric impulses from the brain of the animals‚ their thinking can be understood easily. 5. It would allow the deaf to hear via direct nerve stimulation
