CONGENITAL MELANOCYTIC NEVUS In December 2011‚ Christmas came a day early. My beautiful son‚ Tyson‚ was born. Not only was this little guy handsome‚ he had been touched by an angel leaving a special mark. Totally speechless by looking at the size of this unusual mark‚ it was located on his right leg. Starting from the knee down to the bottom of his foot shows a picture perfect visual of a little black boot. Doctors were fascinated with him and nurses were fussy among themselves taking turns

In “Chapter Three: Neuroscience and the Law” by Michael Gazzaniga and Megan S. Steven they discuss whether a person “knowingly” commits a crime or not‚ using the help of neuroscience. Using neuroscience in criminal justice helps to understand the relationship between human behavior and the brain. According to Gazzaniga and Steven‚ this helps to‚ “understand how deficiencies in the brain impact violent tendencies and assist the court as they attempt to define terms such as “knowingly” and “intent”

Biopsychology/Neuroscience Biopsychology is one of the twelve different branches of psychology. Biopsychology‚ also known as neuroscience‚ analyzes how the brain and neurotransmitters influence our behaviors‚ thoughts‚ and feelings. Many psychology programs use alternate names for this field‚ such as biopsychology‚ physiological psychology‚ behavioral neuroscience‚ and psychobiology. Biopsychology fits hand-in-hand with the neuroscience/biopsychology perspective. This perspective has came along

Neuroscience is a stimulating and fascinating field of study that I would love to pursue at a higher level. The brain is the most powerful and intricate organ that controls every part of your body‚ it is the organ that deciphers what your body needs and prevents it from going into serious malfunction. My interest in Neuroscience originated when I began studying my neurobiology option at A Level Biology. Not only did I explore the structure of the human brain‚ but also how behaviour and cognitive

Women in Neuroscience Throughout history men have greatly dominated the advances of science‚ but in the last century many women have stepped forward and cemented their position in the field and have contributed greatly to it’s expansion and exploration‚ especially in neuroscience. However‚ still only one in every five articles published in Nature Neuroscience has a female coauthor. This can lead to a spiral effect with men getting more jobs in the neuroscience field because of being published
