the key functions of the brain that are affected by dementia. The key functions of the brain that are affected by dementia are the frontal lobe which controls behaviour‚ movement and personality. The temporal lobe which controls memory‚ speech and hearing. The parietal lobe which controls language‚ special awareness and recognition and the occipital lobe which controls visual processing. 1.3 Explain why depression‚ delirium and age related memory impairment may be mistaken for dementia.

cannot. Another core feature of the biological approach is the brain is believed to be compromised of four lobes. The frontal lobe which is involved with expressing language and higher level cognition. The occipital lobe which is involved with interpreting visual stimuli and information‚ the parietal lobe which processing information such as touch or pain. The final lobe is the temporal lobe which interprets sound and language we hear (Stangor and Walinga‚

When large amounts of pressure is applied to this area‚ personality can be altered. Socially accepted behavior is disregarded‚ self monitoring‚ and impulse control and many aspects of personality is at risk for damage. The temporal lobe process hearing‚ the lobe receives sound and speech‚ and allows for comprehension of the speech. Hearing loss is mainly

Describe the key functions of the brain that are affected by dementia. The frontal lobe is responsible for decision making‚ problem solving‚ control behaviour and emotions. The parietal lobe is responsible for sensory information from the body‚ also where letters are formed‚ putting things in order and spatial awareness. The occipital lobe is responsible for processing information related to vision. The cerebrum lobe is the biggest part of the brain‚ its role is memory‚ attention‚ thought‚ and our

hormones which affect the brain’s wiring and development. As a result different portions of the male and female brain are thicker than the other sex’s. It is found that men grew to have a thicker portion of the parietal cortex‚ important for space perception while women have thicker frontal lobes‚ areas involved with verbal fluency. Additionally‚ the Y chromosome‚ the male chromosome‚ would allow for the development of the testes which produces the chief male sex hormone that influences social behavior

10/21/14 Nervous system: one of the eleven major body organ systems in animals; coordinates and controls actions of internal organs and body systems; receives and processes sensory information from external environment; coordinated short-term reactions to these stimuli. Cell body: the part that contains the nucleus and most of the cytoplasm and the organelles. Axon: sends messages away from the cell body to other neurons. Dendrite: short‚ highly branched fibers that carry signals toward the cell
