Essay 1 Vero Psychology1010 W 2:30-5:20 The cerebral cortex is the outer most layer of the brain‚ and consists of a collection of nerve cells bodies made up from gray matter. The brain is divided into two hemispheres‚ and in order for communication to take place between each hemisphere the neurons talk to each other‚ and that’s called corpus callosum. A cool fact about a human cerebral cortex is that it’s larger than any animal. The cerebral cortex is divided into four lobes that also have the

Four Lobes of the Cerebral Cortex The Cerebral Cortex is what separates humans from the rest of the world’s species. Our Cerebral Cortex is larger in size‚ as well as a much greater amount of convolutions than other species. The Cerebral Cortex is divided up in too four major parts‚ Frontal Lobe‚ Parietal Lobe‚ Occipital Lobe‚ and the Temporal Lobe. Frontal Lobe located in front directly behind the forehead‚ it synchronizes motor skills‚ analytical skills‚ cognitive skill emotional expression‚ recall

Throughout the time‚ humanity has developed one ability more than anything; the ability to communicate‚ verbally in particular. Language is an evolving concept for sure‚ because without the great vocabulary‚ humans would not be any different than monkeys. The ability to exchange information is shared by every communication systems‚ and a number of non-human systems share several features of human language. The primary difference between human and non-human communication is that animals are

Central Core Disease: (CCD)‚ also known as central core myopathy What causes these disorders?: Caused by mutation is the RYR1 gene but also theorized to be due to the large number of gene mutations of ryanodine receptor malfunction but also there is research claiming its found in clinical variants. What are the signs and symptoms?: Symptoms can either appear at birth or later in life‚ many different symptoms but often include‚ hypotonia (decreased muscle tone) at birth‚ weakness of the facial

Description: The prefrontal cortex is a part of the brain‚ which is called the frontal lobe‚ specifically it is the section (which is located at the top of the brain)‚ that is responsible for helping us consciously with: judgment decisions‚ developing problem solving techniques‚ paying attention to details‚ socializing effectively‚ and utilizing intellect. EQ competency connections: The prefrontal cortex connects with the adaptability‚ systems thinking‚ and pattern recognition competencies- Adaptability-Changing

MORE THAN ONE FUNCTION DISCUSS. ILLUSTRATING YOUR ANSWERS WITH REFERENCE TO AT LEAST TWO POSSIBLE ROLES OF THE FRONTAL LOBE. The frontal lobes are considered our emotional control centre and home to our personality. There is no other part of the brain where lesions can cause such a wide variety of symptoms (Kolb & Wishaw‚ 1990). The frontal lobes are involved in motor function‚ problem solving‚ spontaneity‚ memory‚ language‚ initiation‚ judgment‚ impulse control‚ and social and sexual behaviour

damaged brain The brain has three main parts the Cerebrum‚ the Cerebellum and the brain stem. The brain is divided into regions that each control different functions. The Cerebrum: The Cerebrum is the biggest part of the brain it makes up around 85% of the brains weight this is because it is the thinking part of your brain and it also controls the voluntary muscles. So without your Cerebrum then daily activities such as dancing or kicking a ball wouldn’t be possible. The cerebral cortex is the part

The pathway from LGB to the sriate cortex is the visual radiation or geniculcalcarine tract. the visual radiation consists superior and inferior fibers a)superior fibers carry input from the upper retina b) inferior fibers carry inputs from the lower retina C- THE VISUAL CORTEX 1. the primary

CEREBRAL PALSY Introduction Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common congenital disorders of childhood. It is a medical condition caused by a permanent brain injury that occurs before (Prenatal)‚ during (Perinatal)‚ or shortly after birth (Postnatal). Thus the malformation of the brain can exist at birth or caused by factors occurring during the birthing process or after. Cerebral palsy is a non- progressive disease; however‚ the effects have been known to change over time. This non curable

Description: The central core disease is a disorder which is known to affect the skeletal muscles—muscles that are needed for movement. It generates weakness within the muscles. It also damages the tone of skeletal muscles and hardens their ability to contract with ease. Signs and symptoms • poor muscle tone (hypotonia) • weakness in muscles (often in facial muscles) • Muscle cramps • skeletal deformities such as joint dislocations and scoliosis • Delayed physical development
