Occipital Lobe It is responsible for processing visual information from the eyes. Temporal Lobe It is involved in primary auditory perception‚ such as hearing.

Split-Brain Patients: The independent functioning of the left and right hemisphere when no longer connected by the corpus callosum. The human brain is a dynamic and elastic processing unit that manages the great extent of human life. This entails both conscious and unconscious functioning of each human system. For example‚ the brain controls emotions through behaviors‚ physiological responses (both autonomic and hormonal)‚ and feelings in response to stimuli from the environment (Carlson

The Effects of Marijuana on the Brain Chapter Two was very interesting‚ learning the brain functions‚ managing thought and the memory process. These chapters made me think about the effects drugs would have on your brain‚ especially Marijuana. Marijuana has been illegal for years because of the thought that it was a drug similar to cocaine‚ or heroin. Drugs such as cocaine and heroin affect the neurotransmitter dopamine. Dopamine is the neurotransmitter associated with extremely pleasurable sensations

Mammalian Brain Dissection Purpose: The purpose of dissecting the sheep brain is to learn the structure of the brain. We must learn a brains structure to help us learn its functions‚ because they are very important and part of the Central Nervous System. We must learn the Central Nervous System to learn how it communicates between different parts of the body and the body’s interactions with the environment because it is a California standard.

of the unique characteristics of the human brain requires studying the brain of other living primate species. In other words‚ a specific evolutionary change in the human brain cannot be inferred to be unique to the human lineage unless other species sharing a last common ancestor don’t have it. That being said‚ Rilling emphasizes the role of comparative neuroimaging to investigate the similarities and differences between human and non-human primate brains‚ and highlights the different imaging techniques

Norepinephrine requires dopamine in order to function correctly. The building basic for norepinephrine molecule is dopa‚ which converts into

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 and problem-solving functions. Hippocampus is

Discuss the implications of the of the split-brain procedure (severing of the corpus callosum) for the understanding of the connections between the left and right hemisphere. The first known split-brain surgical procedure performed on humans’ was in the early 1940’s by Van Wagenen and Herren‚ in which both intended to control seizures of patients who suffered intractable epilepsy (Francois Boller‚ Jordan Graffman‚ 2000). The procedure performed by Van Wagenen and Herren was based on the speculation
