Corpus callosum

Furthermore, rare copy number variations are more prevalent in patients with neurodevelopmental disorders that concurs with multiple congenital anomalies (MCA) such as facial dysmorphism, skeletal malformations, congenital heart diseases and corpus callosum dysplasia24,25. These multiple congenital anomalies have been reported as predictors in isolated/combined neurodevelopmental disorders. We aimed to investigate the predictors of the pathogenic copy number variations (CNVs) in pediatric…

hematomas on his frontal lobes. Imajo, T. and Roessman, U. (1984) broadly define DAI as a distinct form of head injury induced by direct external force at the time of trauma and characterized by axonal swelling, hemorrhages or lacerations of the corpus callosum, and of the brain stem. Basically, the axons in the brain, which are key in sending and receiving signals, had been severely sheared off during the accident. A subdural hematomas is a bruise beneath the skull, which causes swelling and…

The first main system is the central nervous system which consists of the brain and the spinal cord. There are three main sections of the brain; the forebrain which contains the cerebrum and the parts of the diencephalon (the thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus most importantly), the midbrain which is a part of the brain stem, and the hindbrain which consists of the medulla oblongata, the pons, and the cerebellum. The cerebrum, the picture on the right hemisphere of the model’s brain, is the…

A mad scientist conducts a hemispherectomy on you and your friend (they cut the brain along the corpus callosum -- the wire of nerves the connects the left and right brains). He then fuses your left brain and your friends right brain together to create one new brain. Since your memories and psychological features exist in both the left and right side of…

Student no:16472374 The nervous system and neuron communication The nervous system is a highly complex and broad area of biopsychology. People depend on the nervous system for their survival and safety.This essay will explore the components from which the nervous system is composed and their main functions. This essay will also decipher the mechanisms through which neurons communicate. According to Carlson (2014) the Nervous system is branched into two categories - the central nervous system…

the loss of neurons within the cerebral cortex occurs at different rates, with some areas losing neurons more quickly than others. The frontal lobe, which is responsible for the integration of information, judgement, and reflective thought, and corpus callosum tend to lose neurons faster than other areas, such as the temporal and occipital…

The 21st century is a fast paced world with work to get done, chores to be completed, and people to take care of. The only way to get everything done seems to be by multitasking. Ironically, multitasking may not be the quickest way to get your errands completed. An article in the New York Times by Alina Tugend explains that multitasking slows us down and learning the art of “single-tasking” is beneficial for our productivity (Tugend, 2008). Although Tugend talks about doing tasks one at a…

1. There are 3 types of neurons. Motor, sensory, and Interneurons. The main parts of the neuron are dendrites, the soma, the axon, the axon terminal, the synapse, and the myelin sheath. The dendrites are branch like bushy extensions that receive the information and conduct impulses towards the cell body. The soma, or cell body, makes sense of the information and works It out. It also triggers the action potential and all or nothing response. The axon is a neuron’s extension that sends messages…

The way that men and women communicate has a big impact on social norms. Although some of the differences are just biological, like how men tend to have deeper voices, most of them have to do with traditions of a certain culture. The difference in communication strategies of both genders in a society reveals a lot about their beliefs and the roles each gender plays. These strategies originate from our basic survival to use each gender’s strengths and weaknesses. However, their communications…

These tend to stick out in terms of physical appearance but cannot be the only determinant in diagnosing FAS. Other disorders may share similar features as FAS.3 Due to these three factors FAS is easier to recognize, but others which fall under FASD, such as ARND, may be more difficult because only limited neural problems may be present. Also, to accurately confirm conditions such as ARND requires knowledge that alcohol was consumed during pregnancy.9 To acquire this helpful information has…
