The Nutty Professor and Brains‚ Brains‚ Brains By Jana Gilbert “Hello‚ class!” Professor Dobbins spoke enthusiastically as the last student entered the room. Today‚ he was going to talk about his favorite part of the human anatomy: the brain. “Today is going to be exciting!” All of the students groaned. They knew that when he said something would be “exciting‚” it was always boring. Always. “How many of you know what the Ancient Egyptians believed about a person’s behavior? Who controlled

I was walking down the trail to Sombrio Beach which is about a 1.5k hike down a steep trail to the ocean. I had a surfboard under my right arm‚ an axe in my left hand‚ and a large 40 litre hiking backpack fully loaded with supplies on my back. About half way down there is a left turn in the trail which has a declining

we see is the pons. Pons means bridge in Greek and that’s exactly what the pons is. It is a bridge taking in all of our sensory information and taking it to the cortex to be interpreted. The second part of the brain is the midbrain. The midbrain takes all of the incoming neural information and channels it to the correct part of the cortex to be interpreted. It is also involved in muscle tone and helps in sleep‚ wakefulness and attention. The forebrain is the last part of the brain to be studied. It

of alcohol consumption by college/university students‚ how it impairs the functioning of the human brain‚ the cognitive process of information and personality. I will be focusing on the parts of the brain that alcohol has effects on such as; cerebral cortex and the frontal lobes‚ the cerebellum‚ the hippocampus‚ the medulla and the hypothalamus‚ as well as how it affects personality (behavior) and intelligence and cognition. According to Clarren & Smith (1978) alcohol is depressant drug that impacts

contains the cerebral cortex. The telencephalon also consists of many other structures such as the major fissures which are big grooves in a complex cortex it includes the longitudinal fissure‚ lateral fissure‚ and central fissure. It also consists of the most important gyri’s that are located in the frontal‚ parietal‚ and temporal lobes‚ respectively (Pinel‚ 2011). The gyri include the precentral gyri‚ the postcentral gyri‚ and the superior gyri which are the largest (Pinel‚ 2011). The cerebral commissures

In a way it’s the world’s most powerful computer because it can process tasks at lightning speeds and simultaneously be in control of our reflexes and every other voluntary and involuntary functions. It is the most important and complex organ as well as our core for learning At the point of birth‚ the brain weighs an average of

sometimes "disobedient" and generally out of the realm of their own voluntary control‚ while the unaffected hand is under normal volitional control. At times‚ particularly in patients who have sustained damage to the corpus callosum that connects the two cerebral hemispheres‚ the hands appear to be acting in opposition to each other. Damage to the corpus callosum can give rise

brain is the most important organ in the nervous system. Located inside the head‚ surrounded by the skull. The human brain is very identical to the brains of other mammals‚ but with a more developed and evolved cerebral cortex. Much of the size of the human brain comes from the cerebral cortex‚ especially the frontal lobes‚ which are associated with executive functions such as self-control‚ planning‚ reasoning‚ and abstract thought. Before talking about the lobes. The most important part must be talked
