The Biology of Mind Neuron Communication Neuron is a nerve cell‚ basic building block our nerve system Neurons consists in: Dendrites : neurons bushy branches and it listens Axons: Tube that passes the messages and it speaks – transmit Action potential : is a neural impulse‚ brief electrical charge that travels down an axon. Threshold: is the level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse Myelin Sheath covers an axon and some neurons Synapse : is the junction

the key functions of the brain that are affected by dementia. The key functions of the brain that are affected by dementia are the frontal lobe which controls behaviour‚ movement and personality. The temporal lobe which controls memory‚ speech and hearing. The parietal lobe which controls language‚ special awareness and recognition and the occipital lobe which controls visual processing. 1.3 Explain why depression‚ delirium and age related memory impairment may be mistaken for dementia.

1.An extensive network of specialized cells that carry information to and from all parts of the body is called the nervous system. 2.The basic cell that makes up the nervous system and which receives and sends messages within that system is called a neuron. 3.The long tube-like structure that carries the neural message to other cells on the neuron is the axon. 4.On a neuron‚ the branch-like structures that receive messages from other neurons are the dendrites. 5. The cell body of the neuron‚ responsible

Faro found. Lying caused activity in the frontal part of the brain --- the medial inferior and pre-central areas‚ as well as the hippocampus and middle temporal regions and the limbic areas. Some of these are involved in emotional responses‚ Faro said. During a truthful response‚ the fMRI showed activation of parts of the brain’s frontal lobe‚

phases of sleep‚ the neurons in the cerebral cortex regenerate. If sleep is interrupted so that this regeneration cannot occur‚ speech may be affected‚ since the temporal lobe of the brain is what controls speech. People who do not get enough sleep often have slurred speech. There is also measurably less activity in their temporal lobes than in those of well-rested people. During REM sleep‚ memories are consolidated and categorized by the brain. New synaptic connections are also formed during

Auto accidents are very dangerous and can cause damage to the brain. Theresa suffered a head injury due to a car accident. She had damage to her right temporal lobe. Theresa cannot recognize her mother’s face‚ but she can accurately recall many of her mother’s distinctive facial features. Theresa has a type of associative agnosia. Theresa was not born with it so‚ she remembers what her mother looks like but cannot recognize her face. The inability to recognize familiar object presented visually

BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR Functional Specialization • In terms of brain function‚ what is functional specialization? Functional specialization is the function of the nervous system. Each of the neurons located within the nervous system are grouped into clusters‚ these clusters have a specific purpose in the body’s function. Such as movements of the limbs‚ emotions‚ memory and bodily functions. • Why is the principle of complex communication important to understand? The principle of complex
