Portfolio Lobotomy The Lobotomy is a form of Neurosurgery which focuses on altering the prefrontal lobe: its procedure involved cutting singing or scraping away cords associated with the brain that engage emotional response and it was viewed as a means of also cutting out mental illness. (Jansson‚ 1998) It aimed at treating Schizophrenia‚ depression and bipolar disorder. Origins of the Lobotomy are derived from the 19th century exploration into modifications of the brain. It was particularly prevalent

behaviour suggests that the area of damage contributed to the normal or previous behaviour. Furthermore studying accidental brain damage provides insight to brain activity and behaviour‚ for example Phineas Gage had an accident particular to his frontal lobe with severe injury to his left

Project 2.1.3: Map-A-Brain Conclusion 1 Why is the story of Phineas Gage considered so extraordinary? What does his story teach us about the brain? The injury that occurred to Phineas Gage is extraordinary because it completely changed his emotions and mental characteristics‚ and did not damage him severely physically.He lived from the accident‚ and was physically the same person‚ but after it‚ all of his personal characteristics changed‚ turning him into a completely different person. This proves

Pole struck through his skull and his brain‚ once recoved‚ the man was perfectly fine with only minor personality changes 2. (Optional) Scientists have used a drawing called a motor homunculus to show the connection between different body parts and areas of the brain. This drawing is a cartoon of the human body‚ where the bigger the body parts‚ the more area of the motor cortex

physician J.M Harlow recognized some significant changes in his personality and described him as having little restraint‚ using extremely rude language‚ and making grand plans for the future that would be instantly replaced with others. Because the frontal lobe of the brain was damaged‚ Gage became disinhibited which meant he wanted to start doing things that might he might normally have stopped himself from doing. Although he wanted to continue working‚ his impulsive and rude behavior was not conductive

Detention Centers are meant to be a temporarily placement for troubled juveniles that have a potential high risk of reoffending or may likely not appear for their trial date. “Detention centers do serve a role by temporarily supervising the most at risk youths” (Ruddell‚ 2009). Today‚ the use of detention centers for juveniles are steadily increasing which only mean one thing‚ crime rates are increasing. The significant of this problem is with the many juvenile centers are they helpful for our troubled

The aim of this experiment was to determine the effect of music and age on STM (WM). The results of the experiment were confirming the hypothesis to some extent. The hypothesis was that the older the subject conducting the experiment is‚ the higher the cognitive performance‚ which will result in a higher level in completing the task. Also the subjects will be distracted when the music is played. However‚ some of the results did not match the hypothesis; such as Group2 (Year 9 Newman) that completed
