Central Core Disease: (CCD)‚ also known as central core myopathy What causes these disorders?: Caused by mutation is the RYR1 gene but also theorized to be due to the large number of gene mutations of ryanodine receptor malfunction but also there is research claiming its found in clinical variants. What are the signs and symptoms?: Symptoms can either appear at birth or later in life‚ many different symptoms but often include‚ hypotonia (decreased muscle tone) at birth‚ weakness of the facial

Tutorial: The Brain The brain was a mystery for a very long time. Modern imaging has allowed us to study the brain and locate where important functions are occurring. Please remember that the functions do not happen in just one area of the brain. Many neural layers and areas are found in any one activity that happens. But what we do know though is that some areas do appear to be predominantly involved in certain functions. We will learn about the brain in the three-part model. We’ll first look at

Explain one study related to localization of function in the brain (Sperry) Command Term: Explain reasons or causes. Localization of function refers to the belief that specific areas of the cerebral cortex are associated with specific physical or behavioral functions. Examples of case studies to prove how specific locations of the brain can be affected and have an impact on behavior are demonstrated by the HM and Phineas Gage incident. In 1848‚ when Phineas Gage was tampering iron to press

The Brain and Cognitive Functions Centuries of philosophy and science have been dedicated to unraveling the mystery behind how cognition occurs‚ how it maps to areas of the brain‚ and to what degree cognition is dependant upon these various areas in which cognitive activities are located. Modern neuroscience has helped tremendously to provide some answers as have tests on brain trama patients such as Phineas Gage which revealed startling changes in individual behavior that can be linked to damage

Description: The prefrontal cortex is a part of the brain‚ which is called the frontal lobe‚ specifically it is the section (which is located at the top of the brain)‚ that is responsible for helping us consciously with: judgment decisions‚ developing problem solving techniques‚ paying attention to details‚ socializing effectively‚ and utilizing intellect. EQ competency connections: The prefrontal cortex connects with the adaptability‚ systems thinking‚ and pattern recognition competencies- Adaptability-Changing

The brain‚ unlike the heart is the most important part of the body‚ it weighs up to three pounds and comprises the hefty cerebrum‚ cerebellum‚ and the brainstem. The cerebrum which is the largest portion performs all higher cognitive functions. The cerebellum is responsible for motor functions‚ such as the coordination of movement and balance. The brain stem is dedicated to involuntary functions such as breathing. The brain is comprised of the cerebrum‚ cerebellum‚ and brain stem The largest part
