Describe and evaluate methods of investigating cortical specialisation. (10 marks) There are many different methods of cortical specialisation and these are: MRI scan‚ PET scan‚ Electroencephalogram‚ Post Mortem and Neurosurgery. These are developed methods of studying cortical specialisation in the brain in order to be able to predict‚ control and explain non –human and human behaviour. Neurosurgery is considered to be an invasive way of investigating cortical specialisation as it involves manipulating

Baker’s Cyst Anatomy And Physiology To better understand a Baker’s cyst‚ it helps to understand the anatomy of the knee joint. A cyst is a lined sac that contains fluid. Cysts that form around joints are due to a bulging of the joint capsule. A Baker’s cyst develops from the knee joint capsule. It protrudes into the tissues in the back of the knee. Four bones come together at the knee joint: * Patella/Kneecap - The patella is a small‚ flat‚ round bone that articulates with the femur in

Methods of studying cortical specialisation are divided into two groups: the invasive‚ and the non-invasive. The invasive methods are those‚ in which something is injected into the brain‚ to find out what the problem is. The non-invasive methods are more ethical‚ as there are no changes in the brain area‚ therefore no damage can be done to it. One of the invasive methods of cortical specialisation is neurosurgery. It involves manipulating with the structures within the brain. There are two main

“EXTRACTION AND QUANTIFICATION OF BRAIN TUMOR FROM MRI IMAGE” CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL: The principle task of our project is to recognize a tumor and its quantifications from a particular MRI scan of a brain image using digital image processing techniques and compute the area of the tumor by fully automated process. In medical imaging‚ segmentation of images plays a vital role in stages which occur before implementing object recognition

ES is the second leading tumor in the bone of children between the age of ten and twenty years old‚ and the occurrence is slightly more in male than female (Iwamoto‚ 2007). ES affects the femur‚ tibia‚ pelvis‚ humerus and thoracic wall‚ but it can affect any bone (Jedlicka‚ 2010; Miser et.‚ 2010). The term paper provided the general outline; diagnostic imaging used‚ research and role of physical therapist related to ES. ES is a significant malignant bone tumor‚ and the disease is originated
