The idea that the left and right brain exhibits different pattern of thought has caught the public attention and have inspired several educational theories‚ notably “Eight ways of knowing” by David Lazear‚ and numerous other self-help books. Hopefully at the end of this paper we all will have a better understanding about the left and right brain and when trauma is introduce to it‚ how it implicates the learning process and how rehabilitation can help families and patient cope with the issues at hand

of the brain. The cerebral cortex maybe be broken up into four lobes. Each lobe is named after the bones of the skull that cover them. In the very front is the frontal lobe‚ and behind that is the parietal lobe. At the very back of the brain we find the occipital lobe. And curving around each side of the brain we find the temporal lobe. Because the brain is made of two hemispheres there are pairs of each lobe. Frontal lobe: The most forward of the four lobes of the cerebral cortex is the frontal

Cerebral Palsy is a type of neurological disorder and it is one of the common physical impairment in pediatric population. According to Perry et al. (2013)‚ “A definition recently proposed describes cerebral palsy as a group of permanent disorders of the development of movement and posture‚ causing activity limitation‚ that are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing fetal or infant brain” (Perry‚ p.1724). Cerebral palsy also affects the body movement and muscle

The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to create a synthetic brain by reverse-engineering the mammalian brain down to the molecular level. The aim of the project‚ founded in May 2005 by the Brain and Mind Institute of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland‚ is to study the brain’s architectural and functional principles. The project is headed by the founding director Henry Markram and co-directed by Felix Schürmann and Sean Hill. Using a Blue Gene supercomputer running

This experiment was conducted to see if the brain would perform better in mathematical tasks‚ if there was an increase in blood flow through exercise. The increase in blood flow should help the brain to perform better as it receives more oxygen. This is because all cells require oxygen for cellular respiration. To test this‚ three females‚ aged 16-17‚ were asked to answer four mathematical questions for four trials. As each trial progressed‚ subjects had to run on the spot for an extra 30s. It was

Project: 3-D Brain Model Assignment: Individually or with a partner‚ create a three-dimensional model of the human brain. You may use your textbooks‚ the internet‚ as well as your own creativity and originality. Your model should be to scale - approximately the size of the human brain. You may use any materials that you choose (with the exception of perishable food) to complete this task. The goal of this assignment is to develop a model that identifies specific structures and functions of the

<b>INTRODUCTION</b><br><br>The human body is divided into many different parts called organs. All of the parts are controlled by an organ called the brain‚ which is located in the head. The brain weighs about 2.75 pounds‚ and has a whitish-pink appearance. The brain is made up of many cells‚ and is the control centre of the body. The brain flashes messages out to all the other parts of the body. The messages travel in very fine threads called nerves. The nerves and the brain make up a system somewhat like telephone poles

The Equipment used in rock climbing is a carabineer‚ harness‚ rope‚ abelay and a helmet. In the UK Armed Forces‚ basic training involves one week of adventure training‚ this will include some rock climbing (the amount of depends on the force). There are different types of climbing and many places to do them across the UK
