Project 2.1.3: Map-A-Brain Conclusion 1 Why is the story of Phineas Gage considered so extraordinary? What does his story teach us about the brain? The injury that occurred to Phineas Gage is extraordinary because it completely changed his emotions and mental characteristics‚ and did not damage him severely physically.He lived from the accident‚ and was physically the same person‚ but after it‚ all of his personal characteristics changed‚ turning him into a completely different person. This proves

PROCESSING) IN MEDICINE: Digital signal processing (DSP) is concerned with the representation of the signals by a sequence of numbers or symbols and the processing of these signals. APPLICATION IN MEDICINE: DSP in medical imaging such as MRI (MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING). DSP used in medicine all over the world. Examples are drawn from a number of areas of medicine and health care‚ and include neurophysiology and obstetrics. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques have been applied to the demodulators

Does modern technology always improve the quality of people’s lives? Laptops‚ smartphones‚ automaton‚ MRI scanners – these are just a few examples of technology that were developed in the last century. Modern technology has undoubtedly had its impact on many aspects of people’s lives. It has affected the way we work‚ the way we study‚ the way we communicate‚ and even the way we play. However‚ the big question remains: Have our lives improved as a result of modern technology? That‚ of course‚ depends

They started out as a small clinic located at Dasmariñas city‚ Cavite. The name of their company was derived from the name of their son and daughter. In 1995 they added the X-ray laboratory and in 1996 they also started offering laboratory examinations. 4.1.2 Vision and Mission Vision To be the preferred

behavior appropriately. Neuroscience has developed several methods to measure the brain activity. The most popular of those is the Brain Imaging‚ which is divided in: Electro-encephalogram EEG‚ Positron Emission Photography PET and functional magnetic resonance imaging fMRI. But these last one are not the only ones‚ we also have the Single-Neuron Measurement‚ which consists in tiny electrodes inserted to the brain measuring the neuron’s firing-the limitation here is that the electrodes damage the brain

was damaged because the left part of the brain controls the functioning of right part of the body. 2. What imaging technology would best reveal the location and extent of damage to Tim’s brain produced by his stroke‚ and why? Answer Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) may be helpful in this case because it is a modern‚ non-invasive diagnostic tool that can provide a high level of anatomic details. Through MRI‚ stroke can be located and the extent of damage could be determined. The images produced

people often enter the field of radiology because they have different sorts of interest in the job. The field of radiology was originally oriented on using X-ray radiation imagining of the body. Current radiology is not limited to X-rays; it also uses magnetic field‚ radiation and sound waves. Radiology can be used both for diagnostic purpose‚ as well as a form of treatment for some diseases. A Radiologist is a medical specialist using X-rays‚ sound waves (ultrasound) and magnetism (MRI) disease in

A team was assigned by The National Institute on Aging and the Alzheimer’s Association for reviving the 1984 judgement criteria for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) dementia. The team’s aim was to keep a check that the revised factors of judgement would be desirable enough to be incorporated by both general healthcare providers without the intervention of neuropsychological testing‚ advanced imaging‚ and cerebrospinal

Hydrocephalus September‚ 2005 What is Hydrocephalus? The term hydrocephalus is derived from two words: "hydro" meaning water‚ and "cephalus" referring to the head. Hydrocephalus is a condition in which excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up within the ventricles (fluid-containing cavities) of the brain and may increase pressure within the head. Although hydrocephalus is often described as "water on the brain‚" the "water" is actually CSF‚ a clear fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord
