Primary motor cortex

The suggestion of emotional perception having a mutual relationship implies that the ventral system is significant in the recognition of emotion of environmental stimuli and their states, while the dorsal system assimilate with the emotional influence and their performance of executive functions. (Ceylan & Saym, 2012) The resulting emotional response from the limbic region transmits to the thalamus by which it defines the incoming information through the sense organs. According to Ceylan and…

affects body movement and muscle coordination. There are also dire effects on communication skills which might add to the difficulty in their daily lives. Problems in communication, especially poor speech production, may be a direct result of the motor impairment due to a disturbed neuromuscular control of speech mechanism, i.e. dysarthria (Crary, 1995).The more severe the CP is, the less able the children are to speak and to be understood by family members. Cerebral palsy often affects the…

Complications of Cerebral Palsy Cerebral palsy complications are attributed to the neural impairments that characterize the condition. The impairment in the oral-motor function in cerebral palsy can result in difficulties in feeding due to impaired swallowing, coordination of the muscles in the mouth and oropharyngeal dysfunction can contribute to malnutrition in patients with cerebral palsy. Difficulties in controlling saliva, gastroesophageal reflux can result in aspiration, development of…

(movement patterns). Often children will present with a mixture of movement patterns: Ataxic/Ataxia: Ataxia is not very common and means ‘without order’ or ‘incoordination’. Children will appear clumsy and have difficulty with precision of fine motor tasks such as picking things up between their finger and thumb. Their movements will appear jerky and disorganized and they will also have difficulty with…

thirtyfour participants age ranging from twelve to thirty-six months. In this study a measure of fine motor skills were used to tap motor planning and fine motor control for the children ranging in age from 12-18 months they also used a measure of vocabulary for the children at 36 months. Along with using both of those during this study they used standardized observational measures of fine motor and language skills as a “complementary source of information”. (LeBarton, E., 2013). The results for…

A lot of people want to blame the parents of the offenders, asking “what did you turn your child into?” 36% of serial killers were physically abused, 26% were sexually abused, and 50% were psychologically abused (Mitchell and Aamodt 45). Many people have logically come to the conclusion that just because someone is abused, it does not mean that they will become a serial killer; or even a murderer; which is true. In the general population (people who have never committed murder) only 6% are…

multitasking is here to stay, there are a couple suggestions on how to be able to manage multitasking and use of technology. One of the ways is to work on a single task before moving on. The reason being, when we are assigned a task, the prefrontal cortex of the brain takes control and assigns different parts of the brain to handle them, (Shao & Shao, 2012,p.77). By being focused on one, we ensure the fact that task will get completed. Think of a To Do List. How many times did it seem like…

Perry (1999) states that it was originally thought that higher brain functions in the cortex were able to control the lower primitive brain regions and it was this pervasive thought that influenced many therapeutic approaches. In recent years researchers have come to understand that under normal developmental conditions the prefrontal cortex is able to inhibit, organize and modulate the lower brain; however, in children who have experienced trauma the organization is altered. Perry (2012) goes…

Your driving your new car down the streets with pride of how your father gave it to you as a present on your birthday. Unless somebody else behind you driving too. Is trying to multitask by texting and driving. And BOOM your new car is damaged by an idiot who tried to be a multitasker. What is multitasking? When I hear the word multitasking I think about how we ourselves do something by adding one or more things into a task. A good example is of us teenagers listening to music while doing…

The New Science of Learning is a book by Terry Doyle and Todd Zakrajsek. We read the book and discussed it in groups in our English class; to learn more about our specific styles of learning. Reading this book, I really got a feel for what is good for my brain and what activities I can participate in to further my learning. Sleep, Hydration, and your diet play a very important part in your brain’s activity. My sleep schedule is very erratic. I let little things such as my phone and my tv,…
