research on cerebral palsy. The nervous system is a delicate body system made up of many parts and has many functions. The nervous system has three main functions- sensory‚ integration‚ as well as motor. There are two components or the nervous system (the central and peripheral nervous system) as well as two subdivisions (the autonomic or involuntary and the somatic or voluntary nervous system) that are complex and each have a specific job that they do within this body system.

Like a hard drive the brain also has many wires and complicated looking things in there. It is a lot easier to understand what part of the brain does what when it is broken down into the five major parts. The brain has five major parts and each part helps the human body function. The five major parts are called the myelencephalon‚ metencephalon‚ mesencephalon‚ diencephalon

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

Neurotransmitter – They are brain chemicals that communicate throughout the body. Amygdala – It is located in the cerebral hemisphere that looks like a grey almond shape‚ it controls the emotions we have from hormones‚ arousal and emotional memories. Hippocampus – This is in the medial temporal lobe it’s a small organ and is very important to the limbic system‚ it is what helps with our long term memory. Corpus Callosum – Located in the middle of the brain the corpus callosum is a big ball

Explanation: (Difference between Intel Core i7 and Core 2 Duo) - The Core i7 is a completely new architecture which is much faster and more efficient than the Core 2 Duo. Currently only the Core i7 920‚ 945 and 965 XE versions are available. Of that the Core i7 920 is available at just $284 which makes it a great buy. It offers better performance than almost all Core 2 Duo processors. Native Quad Core‚ More Cache and Hyper Threading: All the Core i7 processors are Native Quad cores (4 cores)‚ which

including cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is one of the more serious disorders occupational therapists have to come across in their careers. In actuality‚ cerebral palsy refers to a group of disorders and is prominent in children‚ “Cerebral palsy is a blanket term that refers to a group of disorders that affect a child’s ability to move and maintain balance and posture and is the most common motor disability in childhood” (Anonymous).

of the brain. The cerebral cortex maybe be broken up into four lobes. Each lobe is named after the bones of the skull that cover them. In the very front is the frontal lobe‚ and behind that is the parietal lobe. At the very back of the brain we find the occipital lobe. And curving around each side of the brain we find the temporal lobe. Because the brain is made of two hemispheres there are pairs of each lobe. Frontal lobe: The most forward of the four lobes of the cerebral cortex is the frontal

If each of the following brain parts individually was damaged‚ what would be the consequence and why? Hippocampus‚ hypothalamus‚ cerebellum‚ reticular formation‚ medulla Hippocampus is important for forming lasting memories. The hippocampus lies inside the temporal lobes‚ which is why stimulating the temporal lobes can produce memory like or dream like experiences. Hippocampus damage can result in anterograde amnesia which is the loss of ability to form new memories. Someone who sustains an

Cerebral Lateralization and Functionality There are several methods for studying cerebral lateralization; four methods in the forefront are the study of unilateral lesions‚ sodium amytal‚ dichotic listening‚ and functional brain imaging. The traditional method for studying cerebral lateralization is unilateral lesions study‚ which is the study of the location and effect lesions have on the brain and body functionality. In past‚ this was primarily done after the subject was deceased or through
