The Rat Man exposes many

Explore the role of digital media‚ particularly the World Wide Web‚ in the formation of online communities and the new forms of social/cultural identities in virtual space. What implications do new forms of interactions online have on our understanding of ‘community’ and ‘democracy’? Digital media is responsible for the formation of online communities and creating a society and culture that merges societies and divisions‚ and thus this form of medium has become more real to humans than reality

Compare and contrast the Marxist and Weberian theories of social class. Why do you think Marx emphasises relations of production in the formation of classes whilst Weber suggests the market and consumption are the important factors? All human societies have been class based in some way‚ shape or form and‚ interpreting this in the most basic way‚ it can be said that in every known human society there has been a fundamental division between two broad social groups‚ the buorgeoisie that own and control

Reticulospinal Tract The reticulospinal tract is a motor pathway that originates from the reticular formation‚ primarily in the pons and medulla‚ and synapses in the spinal cord. In the reticular formation‚ the reticulospinal tract surfaces from the pontine caudal reticular nucleus and gigantocellular reticular nucleus. The reticulospinal tract is responsible for postural control and autonomic function like initiation of locomotion via innervation of motor neurons into the trunk and proximal limb

myelencephalon is known as the most posterior part of the brain. The structure of the myelencephalon is made up of bundles of axons called tracts. These tracts carry signals between the rest of the body and the brain. The myelencephalon also contains a reticular formation‚ which consists of a complex system of 100 tiny nuclei occupy the central core of the brain stem from the bottom extremity of the myelencephalon

myelencephalon‚ or medulla‚ is responsible for reticular formation. Reticular formation is comprised of a complex network of white and grey matter which aids the smooth transition between descending and ascending signals of the central nervous system (Pinel‚ 2007). Reticular formation is believed to play a role in arousal but is also important to various other functions of the body including sleep‚ body movement‚ and muscle tone. In addition‚ reticular formation also plays a role in cardiac‚ circulatory

perspective is the reticular formation. It is a complex network of about 100 tiny nuclei that occupies the central core of the brain stem from the posterior boundary of the myelencephalon to the anterior boundary of the midbrain. It is so named because of its netlike appearance (reticulum means "little net"). Sometimes the reticular formation is referred to as the reticular activating system because parts of it seem to play a role in arousal. The various nuclei of the reticular formation are involved in

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

where the reticular formation is located. The reticular formation is composed of a “…complex network of about 100 tiny nuclei…” (Pinel‚ 2011. p. 64). Furthermore‚ the reticular formation has many functions that include sleep‚ movement‚ attention‚ the maintenance of muscle tone‚ and a number of cardiac‚ circulatory‚ and respiratory reflexes. Next‚ the metencephalon is similar to the myelencephalon‚ where it “…houses many ascending and descending tracts and part of the reticular formation” (Pinel
