brain that support certain cognitive functions. For example‚ the area in the brain that is more dorsal and anterior than any other area in the brain is known as the frontal lobe. According to Grieve (2010)‚ the frontal lobe supports many cognitive functions. Examples of the cognitive functions that are supported in the frontal lobe are elimination of inappropriate social responses‚ understanding impending outcomes‚ and blunting emotions (Grieve‚ 2010). Another area in the brain that supports cognitive

After seeing the documentary called‚ “First Peoples: Africa” we can see that as a species we are still like our ancient ancestors from 200‚000 years ago. Through this film we can our ancestors use creativity to make stone tools. However‚ the weird thing is that any visual recorded language hasn’t been found amongst our ancestor until a few thousand years ago even though they did communicate in ways. When I think about what could have played a factor in this lag between humans’ developing a spoken

this process is called immediate memory. Then‚ the frontal cortex takes the information and keeps it to be able to use immediately. The frontal cortex also coordinates using the information by other parts of the cortex‚ and this process is called working memory. Short-term memory means these immediate and working memories. After that‚ relative facts start to be encoded with the help of the hippocampus and other areas of the medial temporal lobes within a few seconds‚ and this work means changing

Slide 18. We have been able to trace this abnormality to a disorder of velocity sensitivity‚ which ‚in turn can be localized to a small area in the brain‚ the middle temporal area. There seems to be no obvious relation between smooth pursuit eye movements and what we recognise as clinical schizophrenia. But why do impaired eye tracking and schizophrenia go together? We do not know as yet‚ but are searching for the answer using the time honoured methods of neurology‚ a medical speciality in

her small brain size did not imply that she was microcephalic‚ a neurodevelopmental disorder that leads to tiny head. In contrast to a microcephalic brain‚ her brain exhibited well development in areas of higher brain functions‚ such as frontal and temporal lobes. This fact overthrows the hypothesis saying that her brain was too small to be capable of intelligent thinking and performing basic functions like learning and making tools. In addition‚ the mandibles of other H.

As a result‚ the minimum drinking age varies in each state.Alcohol causes a lot of damage to the consumer and those around him or her. Drinking alcohol destroys the consumer’s frontal lobe and clouds his or her judgement. Since the consumer is not fully aware of his surroundings‚ he can unintentionally hurt those around him.
