Essay 1 Vero Psychology1010 W 2:30-5:20 The cerebral cortex is the outer most layer of the brain‚ and consists of a collection of nerve cells bodies made up from gray matter. The brain is divided into two hemispheres‚ and in order for communication to take place between each hemisphere the neurons talk to each other‚ and that’s called corpus callosum. A cool fact about a human cerebral cortex is that it’s larger than any animal. The cerebral cortex is divided into four lobes that also have the

Throughout the time‚ humanity has developed one ability more than anything; the ability to communicate‚ verbally in particular. Language is an evolving concept for sure‚ because without the great vocabulary‚ humans would not be any different than monkeys. The ability to exchange information is shared by every communication systems‚ and a number of non-human systems share several features of human language. The primary difference between human and non-human communication is that animals are

because of underlying neuromuscular disorders like cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy includes a wide variety of non-progressive brain disorders that occur during intrauterine life‚ delivery‚ or early infancy. It is defined as a syndrome of motor disabilities possibly accompanied by mental retardation‚ seizures‚ or both. Causes of cerebral palsy are many and include cerebral developmental disorders such as microcephaly‚ intracranial hemorrhage‚ cerebral anoxia‚ and toxins such as excessive bilirubin

Cerebral Lateralization and Functionality March 24‚ 2011 PSY/240 Studies have been conducted on cerebral lateralization and functionality of the human brain. Many studies have revealed there are no substantial differences of the left and right hemispheres of the human brain (Pinel‚ 2009). Some functional differences have shown one hemisphere may be slightly dominating for functional differences (Pinel‚ 2009). “It is widely believed that the left hemisphere has exclusive control over language

Cerebral Palsy is a term for a neurological or brain disorder that affects posture and movement. It is causes a loss of muscle control and coordination. People suffering from Cerebral Palsy have damage to the part of the brain that controls muscle tone. Muscle tone is the amount of resistance to movement in a muscle. During fetal life‚ birth and infancy damage is done to the motor areas of the brain. This can come in the form of radiation or lack of oxygen. Diagnosis of cerebral palsy does not occur

Cerebral palsy is a common neural developmental condition that is typically encountered by pediatricians. There are numerous definitions of cerebral palsy‚ all of these definitions point out that cerebral palsy is a combination of several permanent but not unchangeable disorders that arise from injury to the adolescent development of the brain. Cerebral palsy consists of several disorders‚ some of which are related to the sever impairment of the motor functionality in young children‚ cerebral palsy

The prefrontal cortex (PFC)‚ which is responsible for higher cognitive functions and social-emotional controls in humans‚ is one of the most important brain regions; yet‚ it is also one of the most delicate regions. Located just behind the forehead in the frontal lobe‚ it becomes vulnerable to injuries‚ leading to an array of symptoms including behavioural changes. Different neuroimaging studies and case studies have shown that damage to this region may lead to antisocial behaviour‚ which is defined

Cerebral palsy is a disorder that cannot be cured but could be treated by trying to regain the child’s mobility. A child with a normal disability can live an ordinary life but not as a typical person. The best way to treat a child with cerebral palsy is in the early stage. This will give the child a better chance of improving and overcoming their difficulties. Children that are diagnosed with CP do attend therapy for treatment depending on the type of cerebral palsy they have. A group of people will

Four Lobes of the Cerebral Cortex The Cerebral Cortex is what separates humans from the rest of the world’s species. Our Cerebral Cortex is larger in size‚ as well as a much greater amount of convolutions than other species. The Cerebral Cortex is divided up in too four major parts‚ Frontal Lobe‚ Parietal Lobe‚ Occipital Lobe‚ and the Temporal Lobe. Frontal Lobe located in front directly behind the forehead‚ it synchronizes motor skills‚ analytical skills‚ cognitive skill emotional expression‚ recall
