One of the most expensive organs in the human body is the brain. The physiological task of the brain includes receiving information from the rest of the body, deducing that information, and then guiding the body’s response to it. The brain also helps perform vital processes such as maintaining blood pressure, releasing hormones, and respiratory functions. For a while, many scientists thought that all mammalian brains (including the human brain) were made in the same way. Therefore, it is fair to…

Throughout the history of the science of psychology, researchers, clinicians, and theorists have all attempted to answer the question “what makes us uniquely human?” It is obvious to the untrained observer of nature how humans are different from other mammals in the animal kingdom: humans can think rationally and logically, have feelings and emotions, develop more slowly than any other mammal, and are able to work together on a massive scale to form sprawling civilizations. When one steps back…

The first video, titled “A Map of the Brain” featuring Allan Jones had the main focus of the significance of obtaining knowledge and understanding of the human brain. He begins to explain neurons, synapses, proteins, and the genomes which are encoded in said proteins. He goes on to say that the genomes carry 23 chromosomes which carry “roughly” 25,000 genes; his lab team has the project of looking at the readout of the genes and figuring out how the nature of the underlying chemistry in cells…

I believe, as a teacher, that all students should have the opportunity to explore and develop themselves as musicians. This could happen through formal teacher instruction. Music being taught in schools can help two ways. It can create an appreciation for music and help the students form their own type of music which they identify with. The students musical identity can be developed through processes such as performance and academic study. The goal of music education is to produce strong…

Chapter four: Interrupt the Pattern Interrupting the pattern is the first step to unconscious branding. The mind leads the brains to action working through a process of recognized patterns. Shifting people’s attention and behaviors, requires doing something that disrupts the norm. Perception allows humans to see with their brain. It is an ongoing effort between expectations and incoming sensory data. When thing people observe fit thier expectations, they become unconscious to, requiring no…

Is screen time damaging the teen brain emotionally? Ever heard of the Limbic System, Synaptic Pruning, or the Prefrontal Cortex? Synaptic Pruning, the Limbic System, and the Prefrontal Cortex all deal with the brain. In a way, they all have something to do with behavior. Screen time is bad not only for a teens brain, but for their health. The AAP should should not raise the time limited to screen time. Synaptic Pruning is a productive charge in neutral structures by reducing the overall number…

Nasometer What is it? A non-invasive, real-time, computer-software supported instrument that measures the acoustic energy of the nasal and oral cavity during speech tasks. Nasometry software collects and calculates the (nasal plus oral) data to determine a ratio converted to an average nasalance score. Nasalance Score: N ÷ (N + O) x 100.) Purpose: A tool to assess velopharyngeal function; including hyponasality, hypernasality, airway obstruction, and resonance disorders. Often used in cleft…

the reduced number of Purkinje cells in the cerebral cortex. Purkinje cells play a vital role in the transmission of signals to the cerebral cortex that control Purkinje cells are what make practice perfect because they can be condition with lots of repetitive movement, which can explain the importance of routine for most kids with autism (Purves, Augustine, Fitzpatrick, et al, 2001). Loss of Purkinje cells can result in changed cerebral cortex signals that may be associated with some symptoms…

adult. High levels of MAOA alone do not predispose a person to aggression, but social and physical abuse trigger the MAOA gene leading to the aggressive and antisocial tendencies. Neurological imaging of Joel Rifkin’s brain showed little prefrontal cortex activity and poor symmetry. Originally Rifkin appeared to be functioning normal with an average to superior IQ and an MRI that appeared structurally…

Persons with cognitive problem affects the processed of reasoning and handle the comprehension, information, ideas, memorization, thoughts. This is cognitive problem is related to operation in the brain that helps with the reasoning, planing, calculating and judging this is very frustrated for them and this affects a million of people without even being unaware that they have this problem or finding a solution for this. A great natural solution it will be to introduce ways to stimulate the brain…
