And the temporal and frontal lobes of the cortex‚ which are involved in functions such as perception‚ attention‚ memory and planning in the human brain‚ are underdeveloped in lower animals. There is very strong evidence that there are structural‚ functional‚ behavioural and neurobiological similarities between humans and monkeys. Research into neurological disorders involving higher functions and brain structures such as the frontal lobes depends much more on studies of monkeys

transient ischemic attack (TIA). Considering the frontal lobe is a primary language center of the brain‚ significant language complications can arise if damaged by a stroke. The dominant hemisphere of the brain is designated for verbal programming and oral expression. This portion of the brain is also responsible for controlling the motor movements of the articulators necessary for phonation (Sheppard‚ Walenski‚ Love‚ & Shapiro‚ 2015). When the frontal lobe is affected by a stroke‚ these speech functions

order in which sounds occurred‚ etc.) In the cortex‚ as noted in the text‚ sophisticated processing occurs‚ in regions whose functions are dedicated to sensory processing. (Primary locations are the occipital lobe for vision‚ temporal lobe for hearing‚ parietal lobe for touch‚ and frontal lobe for some aspects of taste and smell.) In turn‚ this information is integrated across senses‚ and with memories of past experiences‚ to produce our perceptions of the world. Simple‚ isn’t

The human brain has five divisions. They start forming in the vertebrae embryo as the tissue that eventually develops into the central nervous system. The first developments of the brain are three swellings that appear at the anterior end of a fluid filled tube. These swellings eventually become the forebrain‚ midbrain‚ and hindbrain. What happens is‚ the forebrain swelling grows into two different swellings and so does the hindbrain swelling. This is what makes up the five divisions of the brain

Neurological Disorders: Alien Hand Syndrome Alien Hand syndrome‚ also known as Anarchic Hand syndrome and Dr. Strangelove syndrome‚ is a neurological disorder in which a person’s hand seemingly has a mind of its own. The person will feel normal sensation‚ but will have no conscious control of their afflicted hand or hands. This syndrome is best documented when a person has the two hemispheres or their brain surgically separated‚ a routine surgery for those with epilepsy. A person with
