Serial killers have been haunting the public population since the beginning of human civilization, and ever since then we’ve been trying to find a solution for them. With modern science, therapist and psychologist have been able to narrow down childhood trauma as the main reason in the making a serial killer. With this specific problem identified, we’ve been able to link together and create solutions to humanities issue of these killers. Britannica defines a serial killer as “…the unlawful…

Sleep The topic I chose to write about is sleep because I think that sleep plays a significant role in a person's health and could be a beneficial topic to read about. Sleep is a naturally recurring state of mind characterized by different consciousness, relatively self-conscious sensory activity, inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscles, and reduced interactions with surrounding. Mammalian sleep occurs in repeating periods, in which the body interchanges in two highly distinct modes known as…

The brain is one if not the most important organ in our body. It controls the vital functions of the body including speech, thoughts, memory, vision, breathing, movement and more. Since the brain is such an important organ, any little change or imbalance in the brain can lead to a serious problems. Any amount of swelling, bacteria, or abnormal growth in the brain could lead to a life threatening illness. An abnormal growth, such as a tumor impedes on different functions depending on where that…

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to measure object recognition testing on sleep/wake rats that measures in a streptozotocin-induced rat model of Sporadic Alzheimer’s disease. I will be focusing on object recognition testing in mice where they have the ability to perceive certain objects by its physical features such as color, shape, size, texture to determine how your short-term memory works when one or two different objects are placed for a certain period of time. The term “object…

provided, and so a detailed image can be produced, also, spatial resolution is high and so where the neural activity is occurring can be localised. Another cognitive neurocognitive technique that has influenced our understanding of the mind is an electroencephalography (EEG). This is where electrodes are placed are a participants scalp and electrical activity is measured over time. A participant’s response to stimuli can be measured through the scalp electrodes recording their event-related…

Abnormal electroencephalography discoveries have been observed in individuals with antisocial PD who committed crimes. One of the most often reported abnormalities is the persistence of slow waves in the temporal lobes. Per Eysenck and Gudjonsson, who formed the General…

and to test for infection; lumbar puncture to test for central nervous system infection; x ray, computed tomography scans (CT), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to look for tumors, hemorrhage, or other brain abnormality; thyroid tests; electroencephalography (EEG); or electrocardiography (ECG) (Delirium,…

People have known about abortion for many years. Some might be against it while others might believe it is for the better of the mother. For those who do not know what abortion is, it is the process where a person terminates a baby that is in the womb and usually occurs within the first 28 weeks. Teenagers who have had sex and accidently gotten pregnant or women who may die during childbirth normally have abortions. There are some though, that do it just so they do not have to take…

any knowledge of effectiveness for night terror disorder” (Szelenberger 2). “Night terrors are highly dangerous they can cause children to severely harm themselves causing disability and sometimes death” (Wilson 1). “Monitoring sleep through electroencephalography and electroculography has identified the different sleep stages in which nightmares, night terrors, and sleepwalking occur” (Murray 113). “The study of statistics shows that 6.9% of children around the ages of six through twelve…

Here in the United States there is a sport that virtually owns a day of the week. For many people, this sport, football is a way of life in a figurative sense. For very few, the most elite to put on the pads this game is literally their way of life. For playing this game, the reward is living the dream that all of them collectively dreamt from the time they first put on the pads in Pop Warner. Living this dream also comes with the perks of fortune and fame. Looked up to and loved as almost god…
