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

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

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 believed to act in response impulsively‚ in a stereotyped and expected way. Mostly‚ human behaviour is under the intentional control‚ and human language is original and unpredictable

Difference between male and female brains Despite that males and females are both humans‚ we have differences in the body and the brain. There are multiple differences between the male and female brain. It is not completely understood yet but it has been seen in the multiple areas of the brain. Now that we have the technology to properly study the brain we can see that there are differences. Some of these differences are the structure of the brain‚ what side of the brain we use more and

Central Core Disease: (CCD)‚ also known as central core myopathy What causes these disorders?: Caused by mutation is the RYR1 gene but also theorized to be due to the large number of gene mutations of ryanodine receptor malfunction but also there is research claiming its found in clinical variants. What are the signs and symptoms?: Symptoms can either appear at birth or later in life‚ many different symptoms but often include‚ hypotonia (decreased muscle tone) at birth‚ weakness of the facial

Description: The prefrontal cortex is a part of the brain‚ which is called the frontal lobe‚ specifically it is the section (which is located at the top of the brain)‚ that is responsible for helping us consciously with: judgment decisions‚ developing problem solving techniques‚ paying attention to details‚ socializing effectively‚ and utilizing intellect. EQ competency connections: The prefrontal cortex connects with the adaptability‚ systems thinking‚ and pattern recognition competencies- Adaptability-Changing

MORE THAN ONE FUNCTION DISCUSS. ILLUSTRATING YOUR ANSWERS WITH REFERENCE TO AT LEAST TWO POSSIBLE ROLES OF THE FRONTAL LOBE. The frontal lobes are considered our emotional control centre and home to our personality. There is no other part of the brain where lesions can cause such a wide variety of symptoms (Kolb & Wishaw‚ 1990). The frontal lobes are involved in motor function‚ problem solving‚ spontaneity‚ memory‚ language‚ initiation‚ judgment‚ impulse control‚ and social and sexual behaviour

damaged brain The brain has three main parts the Cerebrum‚ the Cerebellum and the brain stem. The brain is divided into regions that each control different functions. The Cerebrum: The Cerebrum is the biggest part of the brain it makes up around 85% of the brains weight this is because it is the thinking part of your brain and it also controls the voluntary muscles. So without your Cerebrum then daily activities such as dancing or kicking a ball wouldn’t be possible. The cerebral cortex is the part

The pathway from LGB to the sriate cortex is the visual radiation or geniculcalcarine tract. the visual radiation consists superior and inferior fibers a)superior fibers carry input from the upper retina b) inferior fibers carry inputs from the lower retina C- THE VISUAL CORTEX 1. the primary

Another major difference between the two brains is in a loop that a start in the front of the brain‚ the loop includes; the parahippocampalgyrus‚ the amygdala and several other parts of the brain that are tied to emotion and impulse control. Under certain circumstances these parts of the brain would light up drastically on a “normal” person’s MRI scan‚ but would not light up at all on a psychopath’s MRI scan. Researchers‚ at King’s College London’s Institute of Psychiatry‚ say “the differences in psychopaths’
