Advances in brain imaging technology (BIT’s) enable us to investigate the relationship between biological factors and human behaviours in greater depth. BIT’s are used to move away from more invasive techniques of studying the brain‚ such as liasoning - intentional scarring of the brain‚ and ablation - intentionally cutting out pieces of the brain. The brain imaging technologies that will be examined are electroencephalography (EEP)‚ functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)‚ magnetic resonance

English B Text Production – Argument Topic: Should the legal drinking age in Australia be raised to 21? Raising the legal drinking age in Australia to 21 proves to have many foreseeable positive and negative outcomes‚ as various physical and psychological health complications along with external issues that can affect multiple people are involved‚ each demonstrating different consequences for young adults. These concerns often revolve around drink driving‚ brain development and social influences

behavioral testing was performed during the middle of the third light cycle. They found that this resulted in a significant increase in CB1 receptor binding site density in the prefrontal cortex and a decrease in CB1 receptor binding site density in the hippocampus‚ hypothalamus and ventral striatum.

Noble‚ Norman & Farah (2015) wrote that the ability to form new memories is essential to success in school for learning‚ thus the full development of the hippocampal region is crucial. I plan to investigate the variation of size and activity of the hippocampus area‚ by using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI will be used to show the size of the hippocampal region. I propose that the material hardship of a family will negatively affect the development of the child’s hippocampal

For instance‚ in a study on extracellular 5-HT clearance in the dorsal hippocampus of rats‚ researchers employed in vivo chronoamperometry techniques‚ inserting a Nafion-coated CFM into the DG and CA3 regions of the hippocampus. Inserting 5-HT into the extracellular fluid around these areas resulted in electrochemical signals‚ which were compared to the signals produced in the presence of 5-HT transporter-

Depression and Genetics Depression is the feeling of extreme sadness‚ loneliness‚ hopelessness‚ helplessness‚ and worthlessness‚ which proceed for weeks and prevent normal functioning. It is normal to feel sad and depressed when a significant negative change has happened in one’s life‚ it is considered an appropriate behavior as long as one can overcome it and resume to normal functioning within a considerable period of time.

Hippocampus Hippocampus is a huge component of the brain of a human. It plays an important role with short-term and long term memory and spatial navigation. There are two hippocampus in each human brain and it is closely associated with the cerebral cortex (About.com‚ 2012). 12. Amygdala If you were to look at the temporal lobe
