The effects of psychotherapy and the tools related to its effect have typically been investigated by measuring changes in symptoms‚ psychological abilities‚ personality‚ and social functioning. Many psychiatrists presumed that psychotherapy treated psychological based disorders and pharmacology treated biological based disorders. However‚ with the introduction of neuroimaging procedures the ability to examine the biological effects of psychotherapy has become attainable. Neuroimaging has allowed

Did you get it? 1. What’s the role of eyelids? To protect the eyes. 2. Which structure of eye forms tears? Lacrimal glands 3. What are tears? A dilute saline solution containing lysozyme and antibodies. 4. What’s the visual role of the external eye muscles? They direct the eyeball toward what you wish to see. 5. What is the meaning of the term blind spot in relation to the eye? The blind spot contains no photoreceptors; it is the site where the optic nerve leaves the eyeball 6. What function

takes proper action to ensure the environment remains stable. All bodily structures fall under control of homeostatic mechanisms. Homeostatic mechanisms are controlled by two systems‚ the nervous system and endocrine system. The nervous system regulates homeostatic mechanisms by releasing nerve impulses in order to neutralize whatever change occurred. The endocrine system regulates homeostatic mechanisms by releasing hormones into the blood. When bodily changes take place‚ the nervous system tends

human body requires homeostasis to keep a set point at a constant. With feedback loops‚ the internal environment of the body can achieve to keep it at the set point. All homeostatic mechanisms use a feedback loop to inform the body about any changes that occur externally or internally. There are two different kinds of homeostatic mechanisms: a positive feedback mechanism and a negative feedback mechanism. Positive feedback mechanisms boost physiological processes and amplify the system’s action to

Nervous systems are thus faced with a fundamental problem: how to allow plastic mechanisms to shape their output and function‚ without compromising the stability and integrity of the underlying circuits that drive behavior. Homeostatic plasticity mechanisms that allow neurons to sense how active they are and to adjust their properties to maintain stable function Given the complexity of most central neural circuits‚ maintaining stability in function is a problem that permeates
