Central Nervous System: The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The brain controls bodily functions. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain in humans. The cerebrum is the last place that information travels through in the brain. The spinal cord is the part of the body that communicates between the brain and the nerves that connect to the spinal cord. The spinal cord is commonly known as a pathway from the brain to the body. Peripheral Nervous System: The peripheral

The nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and a complex network of neurons. This system is responsible for sending‚ receiving‚ and interpreting information from all parts of the body. The nervous system monitors and coordinates internal organ function and responds to changes in the external environment. This system can be divided into two parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Let ’s take a look at the central nervous system. Central Nervous System The

dysfunction? Jennifer Uekermann & Irene Daum Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience‚ Ruhr-University of Bochum‚ Bochum‚ Germany ABSTRACT Aims Alcoholism is associated with a range of cognitive deficits. These deficits might be explained by the ‘frontal lobe hypothesis’ which suggests a specific vulnerability of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) to the neurotoxic effects of alcohol. Social cognition is thought to be processed in the PFC‚ but so far only few studies have addressed the issue of social cognition

Alec Connell Psy-101-22 W Professor Kulpa6/16/2014 The Brain Neuroscientists have proven that the activity in the brain is altered when an individual is subject to extremely stressful or exciting circumstances. In the documentary multiple unique qualities of the brain are explored‚ studied‚ and tested to determine how we can benefit from understanding the functions of the brain. Learning about the fundamentals of the brain in the text made understanding the procedures our brain undergoes to

Frontal lobe - responsible for decision making‚ problem solving‚ controling behaviour and emotions. Parietal lobe - responsible for sensory information from the body‚ also where letters are formed‚ putting things in order and spatial awareness. Occipital lobe - responsible for processing information related to vision.

The limbic system influences emotions‚ moods and aggression. * Solitary: It involves the frontal and parietal lobes‚ and the limbic system
