irritable. The longitudinal study of his brain showed damage to his frontal lobe‚ an area of the brain that is now known to affect personality and social behavior. This case study opened up the floor for other psychologists to further study the idea of brain localization. This change in personality and mood never reversed to its normal state‚ which shows that another area of the brain did not take over the role of the damaged frontal lobe in balancing Gage’s personality and mood

When you are playing with cards you need to have control over your muscles so you can move the cards also when one is telling a story of something that happen earlier in his life to his friends that person need his memory to recall those even also to remember his friends’ names. The hippocampus is located within the medial temporal lobe on each side of the brain (medial

The Brain and Behavior In the four lobes of the brain‚ temporal lobe is of them. Cerebral cortex the major part of which this lobe is part of. It is on the lower side of both cerebral hemispheres on each side. This lobe has different functions‚ mainly auditory detection‚ keeping memory and emotional perception. The hippocampus happens to be an area of the brain that consolidates information from brain. The damage to this lobe is mainly linked to the impairment of an individual

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

discovered about the human body. They are able to subdivide each hemisphere’s cortex into four lobes‚ separated by prominent fissures or folds. You have the frontal lobes Wright 2 that are located behind the forehead‚ the partial lobes that are located at the top and to the rear‚ the occipital lobes that are located at the back of your head and lastly‚ the temporal lobes that are located just above the ears. Each lobe carries out many of its own functions. I’ve always wanted to know how this was even possible

MANY PROCESSES MUST TAKE place within the skeletal muscle fibres in order for muscle contraction to occur. The cross bridge cycle‚ process by which the muscle length is shortened as myosin heads‚ extending from the myosin filaments‚ interact cyclically in a rowing motion with the actin filament (Rayment et al. 1993)‚ is one of the crucial mechanical events required. The mechanism is initiated when an ATP molecule is bound to a myosin head. An enzyme within the head. known as ATPase‚ hydrolyzes the

Alec Connell Psy-101-22 W Professor Kulpa6/16/2014 The Brain Neuroscientists have proven that the activity in the brain is altered when an individual is subject to extremely stressful or exciting circumstances. In the documentary multiple unique qualities of the brain are explored‚ studied‚ and tested to determine how we can benefit from understanding the functions of the brain. Learning about the fundamentals of the brain in the text made understanding the procedures our brain undergoes to

and if it did‚ how and what areas of the brain did it affect. In this case‚ if the “miracle” drug targeted the frontal lobe some possible consequences would be problems with motor functions‚ issues with problem solving skills‚ issues with memory and language‚ and changes in emotional control that could cause impulsive and rash behavior. If the drug only affected the occipital lobe it would cause the loss of visual capability‚ loss of ability to identify colors‚ and it could cause hallucinations. If
