Frontal lobe: involves heavy thinking‚ planning‚ organizing‚ problem solving and other cognitive functions. b. Temporal lobe: involves emotional responses‚ memory‚ and speech. c. Occipital lobe: involves vision and color recognition. d. Parietal lobe: receives and integrates information. 2. The midbrain: connects to the hindbrain and the forebrain. The midbrain

history of Aldrin. The patient was admitted with the chief complaint of body weakness and eye crossing. Based from the interview‚ 2 months prior to confinement‚ Aldrin fell during play from about 4-5 feet of landing and hit his head at the fronto parietal area to the ground. No vomiting was noted nor loss of consciousness. However‚ he was noted to have an on and off fever but undocumented and no consultation was done. A month prior to admission he still has an on and off fever and was noted to have

free is the intent that powers the Blessing phenomenon. What does the blessing do? It results in a rise in consciousness of the recipient by initiating a neuro-biological change in the brain. It is also known to activate the frontal lobes and de-activate the parietal lobes‚ thereby enhancing states of joy‚ love and a sense of connectedness in the recipient. The Divine energy of the Oneness Blessing will help you break unhealthy troubled relationship patterns to create better relationships. Sri Bhagavan

nervous system. The brain is entirely associated to our personalities. Exclusively‚ there are six different sections in the brain that joins to one another to properly function on a daily basis. The brain consists of frontal lobes‚ parietal lobes‚ occipital lobes‚ temporal lobes‚ a cerebellum‚ and the brainstem. In a criminal’s brain‚ it shows differently in comparison to an individual’s brain who is not a criminal. What makes this difficult to analyze is criminals can appear innocent. “In an opportunistic

cerebral cortex is separated into different parts‚ these two parts are called the cerebral hemispheres. The corpus callosum acts as a bridge between each hemisphere. Each hemisphere has four sections of its own‚ called lobes. The occipital‚ parietal‚ temporal‚ and frontal are the four lobes of the the cerebral cortex. These separate parts of the hemispheres each control a different function of the brain. Between the two hemispheres in the cerebral cortex there is the contralateral control arrangement

ANATOMY 2 LAB 1 – RECEPTORS Questions: 1. How is the distance between receptors related to sensitivity of a stimulus? * The greater the distance between receptors and stimulus the lesser sensitive are the stimulus. The smaller area‚ the more sensitive. 2. What does the two-point discrimination test measure? * It measures the smallest distance at which two points of contact can be felt or measures areas that are more sensitive and has more motor interactions. 3. What areas of

progressive aphasia (PPA) who produced neologistic jargon either in speech or writing. We suggest that involvement of the posterior superior temporal–inferior parietal region may lead to a disconnection between stored lexical representations and language output pathways leading to aberrant activation of phonemes in neologistic jargon. Parietal lobe involvement is relatively unusual in PPA‚ perhaps accounting for the comparative rarity of jargon early in the course of these diseases. Aphasia is a communication
