    Describe and evaluate one neurobiological and one psychological theory of the function of dreaming The first neurobiological theory I will look at is the activation-synthesis theory. These theory sees dreams as activation in the brain in the areas to do with perception‚ action and emotion (which occurs during REM). They are essentially random as there is an external blockade (at the top of our spine resulting in paralysis so we cannot act out our dreams) and an internal blockade as only areas

    Conduction Conduction Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between regions of matter due to a temperature gradient. In the engineering sciences‚ heat transfer includes the processes of thermal radiation‚ convection‚ and sometimes mass transfer and often more than one of these processes occurs in a given situation.Shaun Prado 8F Shaun Prado 8F Steady-state conduction Steady state conduction is the form of conduction.

    this experiment was to examine how the compound action potentials propagate down the sciatic nerve of a frog based on varying stimuli. Before the nerve could be tested it needed to be extracted from the thigh of the frog and then submerged in saline. Several varying stimuli were used and recorded by a software package. The second experiment requires a constant stimulus with varying reference pin locations. From this the velocity of the action potential propagated can be determined. The experiment revealed

    Conduction‚ Convection‚ and Radiation The three types of heat transfers are Conduction‚ Convection‚ and Radiation. Heat always moves from a warmer place to a cooler place. For example hot objects that are in a room that is cooler than the temperature of the object will eventually cool to room temperature. First is conductionconduction is heat transferring through direct contact of substances. Then convection‚ which is the transfer of heat by the movement of the warmed matter. Lastly

    as a function of time‚ also known as muscle activations provides information on how the motor commands change in order to control movement of the limbs and achieve a desired goal in this case a certain speed for walking. To study these changes‚ in this chapter we propose an experiment that elicits transient changes in muscle activations through the application of perturbations in a virtual reality environment.

    Neurotransmitter Switching in Adult Brain According to one dogma of neuroscience‚ neurotransmitter population was thought to be fixed and immutable throughout life once developmental stages have passed. For over 100 years‚ a central assumption in the field of neuroscience has been that the brain of the adult mammals should remain structurally constant. New neurons‚ as well as new neurotransmitters were thought not to be added to the adult mammalian brain and that the production of new neurons would
