the Canadian law. In Canada the penalty was restricted to a small number of very serious crimes‚ such as treason and murder. The method used was hanging from the year of 1867 and on.

The present study is further developed whether a cue (a tone) could come to elicit fear expression (freezing) from the

lobes are responsible for reasoning‚ problem solving‚ and emotions (Allen & Harper‚ 2010). The limbic system contains electrical circuitry controlling emotions and motivation (Allen & Harper‚ 2010). The amygdala when stimulated produces behavior related to emotions‚ memory and fear. When the amygdala is functioning properly it produces the proper behavioral reaction or response to the event that is happening (Allen & Harper‚ 2010) When damage occurs to the frontal lobes the ability to reason or censor

The Limbic system is known to control our emotions such as those of pleasant and unpleasant. It is known to be located in the cerebral and diencephalon structure of the brain (Marieb and Katja Hoehn‚ 2013‚ pg.449-450). Autism is more commonly known for a lack of amygdala‚ but in this case it can also play a huge part in the Tourette’s syndrome as it also

UNDERSTANDING HOW KEY FUNCTIONS OF THE BRAIN ARE AFFECTED BY DEMENTIA You do not have to become an expert on the brain to be a good dementia health care worker. However‚ having a basic awareness of the brain’s functioning may help you to understand some of the difficulties a person with dementia is experiencing. It can also help to explain some of the behaviours you may find challenging and difficult to comprehend. The level of damage taking place in the brain (‘neurological impairment’)

It included the hippocampus‚ the amygdala and other areas close to the amygdala. The HM case study’s findings are valid since they are scientifically proven by the MRI scan. However‚ the study cannot be replicated to other humans to test its validity. Finally‚ there is the fMRI‚ or else; the functional magnetic
