1.1 General Introduction The steadily growing field of brain–computer interfacing (BCI) may develop useful technologies, with a major positive impact on individuals and society as a whole. Meanwhile, the development of BCI presents significant ethical and legal challenges. Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have attracted much attention recently, triggered by new scientific progress in understanding brain function and by impressive applications. A Brain Computer Interface (BCI) is a computer…

Cannabis, or cannabis sativa, originated in Central Asia and has been used for its psychoactive properties for many years (Iversen, 2008, p. 6). It affects the brain of adolescents and adults differently through the binding of CB1 receptors due to distinctions in neurocognitive development. There are certain changes in gray and white matter densities, brain volume, as well as endocannabinoid concentrations. This creates aberrations in cognition and memory performance. Cannabinoid’s structures…

What is studio culture? When we hear about studio culture in college, the thing that comes to most of our mind is architecture student. Studio culture is the experiences, behaviors, habits and patterns found within the campus-based architecture design studio. The studio is the life of an architect. Studio is the place where all architecture students have many vivid memories that characterize their design studio experience. Late nights, exciting projects, commitment, extreme dedication, long…

Intervention strategies will target the receptive and expressive areas of communication in conjunction with each other to maximize the student’s success in therapy. Since the student presents with both reading and writing difficulty, the intervention strategies for the receptive and expressive areas will equip the student with writing readiness skills. Reading enhances writing skills therefore teaching language, reading, and writing as a whole process is conducive to effective learning (Silvers,…

Olivia Olson Dr. Alex Hill Bio A 348 9 December 2016 Tay-Sachs: Why so Selective? There are aspects of nature that puzzle the world. Scientists, as curious as they are, try to figure out and solve nature’s great mysteries. One biological phenomenon that appears is Tay-Sachs disease. This is a disorder that tends to appear in only a handful of populations around the world. For quite sometime it was a mystery as to why this deadly disease tended to only show up in certain populations; but thanks…

The role of circadian rhythms and clock genes in cutaneous wound healing Introduction The governing of rhythmic changes involved in daily behaviour and/or physiology is controlled by light/dark cycles. The field of Chronobiology encompasses biological timings (hormone secretion, blood pressure, reproductive cycles, body temperature, sleep, locomotor activity). Circadian rhythms have been discovered to play a major role in the mental, physical and behavioural changes, which follow a 24 hour…

Paul Pierre Broca talked about ‘le grand lobe limbique’ in 1878 or the great limbic lobe and used the term “limbic” (from the Latin limbus for border) to the rounded rim of the cortex which also has the cingulate and the parahippocampalgyri. However, its supposed role in emotion was elaborated by the American physician, James Papez in 1937 in the influential paper titled ‘A proposed mechanism of emotion’. This anatomical model is called the Papez circuit.[2] In the year of 1948 scientist…

This chapter was all about making a smooth transition to college. This chapter taught how to deal with college. Taught me key terms like credit hours, general education requirements, academic advisor, college catalog and many more. This was important to me because I am the oldest and am new to college. This chapter taught me that I need to review my college catalog because they change it periodically every year and that you are expected to follow it. That most degree or certificate programs need…

of properly it can lead to devastating traumatic brain injuries such as CTE. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is a build up of tau protein in the brain (Cearnal). “The tau protein is a structural element of tiny tunnels, called microtubules, in the axon. These tunnels are the transport system of the cell, like a highway or railroad” (Nowinski). So that means that when the protein malfunctions the tunnels won’t work…

Introduction Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease that affects the nervous system. It is primarily an inflammatory disorder of the brain and spinal cord. People diagnosed with MS may have a variety of symptoms that can include: weakness, tremors, tingling, numbness, loss of balance, vision impairment, paralysis, impaired thinking, neuropathic pain, and bladder or bowel problems. Patients may also experience memory loss and depression. There is no current cure for MS, but there are…
