The Brain and Behavior David Richard Monge Jr. BEH 225 February 9‚ 2014 The temporal lobe is a region of the cerebral cortex that is located beneath the lateral fissure on both cerebral hemispheres of the mammalian brain. The temporal lobes are involved in the retention of visual memories‚ processing sensory input‚ comprehending language‚ storing new memories‚ emotion‚ and deriving meaning. The frontal lobe is an area in the brain of mammals‚ located at the front of each cerebral

Anatomy and PhysiologyHuman Brain The anatomy of the brain is complex due its intricate structure and function. Thisamazing organ acts as a control center by receiving‚ interpreting‚ and directing sensoryinformation throughout the body. There are three major divisions of the brain. They arethe forebrain‚ the midbrain‚ and the hindbrain. Anatomy of the Brain: Brain Divisions The forebrain is responsible for a variety of functions including receiving andprocessing sensory information‚ thinking

Brain tumors are abnormal growth of tissue in the brain or spinal cord. This abnormal growth disrupts the normal functions of the brain. Brain tumors are categories based on where they originated and whether they are cancerous or noncancerous. They can be benign which means they do not contain cancer cells‚ they grow slowly‚ and do not spread into other tissue. The tumors can also be malignant‚ which means they contain cancer cells and spread rapidly into surrounding tissue. ("Brain Tumors") Surgery

This is the region of the brain that process the though process and consciousness. The effect of this region is that it suppress the inhibition-processing center‚ it affects the eyes‚ ears‚ and mouth senses. The next level in the blood level alcohol content is it affects the Cerebellum in the brain. The Cerebellum controls

THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM Every behavior begins with biology. Our behaviors‚ as well as our thoughts and feelings‚ are produced by the actions of our brains‚ nerves‚ muscles‚ and glands. In this chapter we will begin our journey into the world of psychology by considering the biological makeup of the human being‚ including the most remarkable of human organs—the brain. We’ll consider the structure of the brain and also the methods that psychologists use to study the brain and to understand how 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

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
