Broca’s area: This area allows signals to be sent in order to allow there to be production of speech and language. The signals allow for the brain to form parts of speech into sentences. This involves the talking at the party which uses speech and language as eg. English. It also allows me to talk to my friends the whole evening. Another function of the broca’s area is the control of facial neurons. This means that when I greet my friends at the party the Broca’s area was involved in my facial expression

Properties of Trigonometric Functions The properties of the 6 trigonometric functions: sin (x)‚ cos (x)‚ tan(x)‚ cot (x)‚ sec (x) and csc (x)are discussed. These include the graph‚ domain‚ range‚ asymptotes (if any)‚ symmetry‚ x and y intercepts and maximum and minimum points. Sine Function: f(x) = sin (x) * Graph * Domain: all real numbers * Range: [-1 ‚ 1] * Period = 2pi * x-intercepts: x = k pi ‚ where k is an integer. * y-intercepts: y = 0 * Maximum points: (pi/2

There are six major classes of nutrients: carbohydrates‚ fats‚ minerals‚ protein‚ vitamins‚ and water. These nutrient classes can be categorized as either macronutrients (needed in relatively large amounts) or micronutrients (needed in smaller quantities). The macronutrients include carbohydrates (including fiber)‚ fats‚ protein‚ and water. The micronutrients are minerals and vitamins. The macronutrients (excluding fiber and water) provide structural material (amino acids from which proteins are

There have been six merger waves in the historical mergers. Yong Rin (2011) contends that the first four merger waves were centered in the U.S. while the fifth and the sixth involved Europe and Asia. These six merger waves shared common features that they all occurred in cyclical patterns and ended with a stock market crash. What follows is the detail of each merger wave. First wave – 1897 to 1904 The first merger wave took place after the depression of 1883‚ peaked in 1899 and lasted until 1904

NEUROTRANSMITTERS AND AGGRESSION LARISSA BATISTA PSY 407 SUMMARY According to various scientific research studies conducted over the past three decades suggest that central neurotransmitters play a key role in the modulation of aggression in all mammalian species including humans. Specific neurotransmitters systems involved in aggression include serotonin‚ dopamine‚ norepinephrine‚ GABA‚ and neuropeptides such as vasopressin and oxytocin. Neurotransmitters not only

Neurotransmitters Neurotransmitters are chemicals made by neurons and used by them to transmit signals to the other neurons or non-neuronal cells (e.g.‚ skeletal muscle; myocardium‚ pineal glandular cells) that they innervate. The neurotransmitters produce their effects by being released into synapses when their neuron of origin fires (i.e.‚ becomes depolarized) and then attaching to receptors in the membrane of the post-synaptic cells. This causes changes in the fluxes of particular ions across
