Melissa Fellin 10/6/13 A.P. Psych Review Intro There are two communication systems in the brain The Nervous System and the Endocrine System Nervous System: extensive network of nerve cells that carry messages in pulses of electrical and chemical energy throughout the body. This is the network that first comes to your rescue by accelerating you heart and tensing your muscles for action. Endocrine System: a slower acting communication network that sends a follow up message that

cerebrum‚ cerebellum‚ and brain stem. These different parts have their own functions. The cerebral cortex is divided into left and right hemispheres. Anatomists conventionally divide each hemisphere into four "lobes"‚ the frontal lobe‚ parietal lobe‚ occipital lobe‚ and temporal lobe. 3) Meaning of mind: Mind is defined as the human consciousness that originates in the brain and is manifested especially in thought‚ perception‚ emotion‚ will‚ memory‚ and imagination. It is also defined as

Absorber has the ability to remember what most people could never remember. Anything he has ever experienced‚ can be remembered in great detail. Amygdala An almond shaped mass of nuclei located deep within the temporal lobe of the brain. It is a limbic system structure that is involved in many of our emotions and motivations‚ particularly those that are related to survival. The fight or flight reaction. Amygda-woman Amygda

Over the past four years‚ the rate of autism diagnosed has increased over 30%. Autism spectrum disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder in which the diagnosed exhibit social and behavioral deficits. Since autism is a life-long impairment‚ researchers are attempting to rapidly find the causes in the hope to find a cure. It is theorized that prenatal hormone exposure could potentially result in ASD. Therefore‚ the prenatal hormones estradiol and dihydrotestosterone were subcutaneously injected into

Laboratory 3 Brainstem and Cranial Nerves Associated radiology modules: BRAINSTEM‚ CRANIAL NERVES Brainstem BLOOD SUPPLY The major blood supply to the brain is from two pairs of arteries‚ the vertebrals and the internal carotids. In general‚ the vertebrals supply the brainstem‚ the caudal diencephalon and the caudal and inferior cerebrum. The carotids supply the rostral thalamus and hypothalamus‚ the basal ganglia and the remainder of the cerebrum. Vertebral Branches. The vertebral arteries

Compare the effectiveness of neuroimaging approaches to predict the future onset‚ and to differentiate between the different clinical stages‚ of Alzheimer’s disease Alzheimer’s disease is characterised as a dementia with the presence of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles which leads to neuronal cell death (Hardy & Higgins‚ 1992). The most major symptom shown in Alzheimer’s disease is the degeneration of cognitive function (memory‚ reasoning‚ attention‚ language etc.) and it is crucial to

I was able to listen to a podcast called famous tumors. It talked about many different types of rare case tumors. Such as president Ulysses S. Grant‚ Tasmanian devils‚ a man with a safety pin‚ a nun and God‚ and a lady and her daughter. The first segment was over a tumor that president Ulysses S. Grant had died from. They talked about going to see the squamous cell carcinoma that actually killed the president. They then go on to talk about actual Tasmania devils that the photographer Christo Baars

The Nervous System The nervous system is the most complex part of the body‚ as they govern our thoughts‚ feelings‚ and bodily functions. It is an important factor in science because it can lead to new discoveries for cures or diseases. The studies of the nervous system helped lower death rates from heart disease‚ stroke‚ accidents‚ etc. The nervous system is a network of neurons (nerve cells) that that sends information to the brain to be analyzed. Neurons live both in and outside the central nervous
