There are many cognitive functions that the brain performs on a daily basis. People can survive with traumatic brain injuries or strokes and still function to a point. The brain is an amazing organ that can be resilient and bounce back from brain injuries due to an accident or stroke, depending on which areas of the brain are affected. If certain areas of the brain are affected then the person could lose the ability to see, speak, remember, function, or even die. A person’s brain continues to change and develop throughout their lifetime, even if parts of the brain become necrotic due to dementia and other disorders. The best known case of how a person can survive and have a relatively normal life after a brain injury was Phineas Gage. His story is an amazing one that is hard to believe.…
Our brains shape and reshape themselves in ways that depend on what we use them for throughout our lives. Learning language is a nice example of how experiences contribute to each person's unique pattern of brain development.…
In an unharmed state the brain is competent of performing innumerable tasks quicker than the blink of an eye. Even with fraction of it being injured due to a mishap or illness, the brain has still established that it can persist to function though typically at an abridged capacity. The flexibility of the brain and the aptitude for it to recompense for definite injuries is truly a feeling. Though we now have a clutch on the brain and the functions that take place within it, it is and will almost certainly remain anonymity and continue to require research for a long period of…
Stroke is the number one disabler and number three killer of the cerebral cortex of the brain. Jill had experienced a rare form of stroke, which had left her with a clot the size of a golf ball in her head. Her left hemisphere was very heavily damaged and she was working with solely with the remaining right hemisphere. Between all of her surgeries and personal growth, it had taken her eight years to recover.…
One brain two sides; the left brain analysis breaking information into parts about 95% of people use the left brain to speak, write, and understand. This includes time sense and rhythm. The right side of the brain processes information by using nonverbal responses such as, pointing at objects, simple language comprehension and recognition of pattern. Lobes of the cerebral cortex are larger fissures on the surface of the cortex. The cerebral cortex is responsible for reasoning planning, mental abiliites, sense of self and motor control. This area contains mirror neurons, which becomes active when you observe someone else and then you carried out the same action.…
You need to be able to explain the functions of the four lobes of the brain (frontal, parietal, occipital and temperal)…
Critical thinking is a careful examination in which a person utilizes facts and evidence to form their own conclusions to certain situations. Edward Glaser explains that critical thinking calls for a persistent efforts to examine any belief or supposed form of knowledge in the light of the evidence that supports it and the further conclusion to which it tends (Glaser, 1941). Edward Glaser provides a great insight to the importance of evidence of understanding critical thinking. Understanding the importance of coming to your own conclusions is vital to thriving in society. Critical thinking is the death of gullibility.…
The biggest part of the brain is cerebrum. The cerebrum is the thinking part of the brain and it controls the voluntary muscles, the ones that move when you want them to. When one is thinking hard, trying to solve a math problem or trying to figure out a video game, one is using the cerebrum. (Kidshealth, n.d.) The cerebrum is made up two sides, the left and right hemispheres. The right half of the cerebrum controls the left side of the body and the left side controls the right side. These two are connected by long neuron branches called the Corpus Callosum. Each hemisphere has four lobes; The frontal lobe is associated with reasoning, planning, movement, emotions and problem solving. The parietal lobe is associated with tactile sensory information such as pressure, touch, and pain. The temporal lobe is associated with the…
Scientists have constantly been striving to better understand the brain and how it functions. The brain is an amazing organ that controls and moderates so many different things. Your body temperature, your reasoning, your dreams, your movement, your blood rate, it accepts massive amounts of information from your different senses, (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting), and it does all this in a way that we hardly even know it is happening.…
|The left and right hemispheres of our brain process information in different ways. We tend to process information using our dominant side. However, the learning and thinking process is |…
I was perhaps the youngest gambler of my city mainly because I spent my school and college going days gambling. Just two days after I turned 18, I was offered a job at the casino where I learned the tricks of the trade from and as I had affections for the casino, I started to play from the casino’s side. I was offered before, when I was younger, from another casino, which I refused mainly because I did not like its owner who was crime a mob boss. My refusal caused him a big disrespect as he had all the best men in the town with him who agreed to serve him, but only I had enough courage to refuse him. His people came every day at the casino, just to defeat me, but none of them was successful. But one day, the mob boss arrived at the casino.…
