Because every part of the brain controls a certain part of human behavior‚ damage to a certain part of the head will only affect certain behaviors of an individual. In addition‚ damage to certain areas can cause aphasia‚ which is a speech disturbance resulting from brain damage (Coon & Mitterer‚ 2013). As

The Behaving Brain: Video Response The video put the chapter into visual perspective for me in terms of learning about our brain structure and it’s different parts. The video describes the three important jobs our neurons do: receive information from other cells‚ process information‚ and transmit it to the rest of the body. Without our neurons we would have no brain activity. All behavior begins with an action from a neuron. First the brain gathers information from the receptors and spread it

Chapter 2 Brain and Behavior The cerebral cortex outer layer of the cerebrum has the two largest hemispheres that covers the upper part of the brain which are divided into smaller portion called lobes. Corticalization is an increase in size of the wrinkling of the cortex and without this we would not be any smarter than any other animal. Cerebral hemispheres are divided into right and left halves of the cortex connected by thick band axon fibers called corpus. Hemispheric specialization‚ testing

environment surrounded by books and enjoying the natural world from an early age has provided the influence for my artwork. These seemingly disparate entities both offered me the ability to immerse and lose myself as a child and offered me comfort. In adulthood I recall these themes through my work with nostalgia as they allow me to escape from contemporary society with its complexities and challenges. I often consider place and its meaning to an individual in my work. Literal interpretations of the environment

Rants! 202: There’s Gotta Be A Change! A big part of movies is the protagonist’s arc. As in they begin in one place‚ and end in another; they change.
