3. A. Cranial nerve involvement can be broken down into two portions. The anterior 2/3 of the tongue are innervated by the Chorda Tympani branch of the Facial nerve which is carried by the lingual nerve which branches off the mandibular branch of the Trigeminal nerve. Sensory component of the anterior 2/3 is maintained by the lingual nerve. The posterior 1/3 of the tongue is innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve which supplies both sensory and taste. B. The human tongue contains multiple…

It. situated between the cerebral cortex and midbrain. Its functions include relaying sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex. When designing lesson we need to focus more on engaging activities that encourage students to participate in discussions. For example, inviting students to share their ideas turns classroom discussion…

How Music Affects the Brain I. Speech Overview: A. General Goal: To inform. B. Specific Goal: By the end of my speech, my audience will learn a few things about what is happening in the brain when you are listening to music. II. Introduction: (This is where you start talking) A. Attention Grabber: The average American person listens to about four hours of music every day. B. Relevance Statement: Nearly everybody listens to music in one way or another, so it’s good to know how it is affecting…

The study of psychology involves studying the mind and behaviour of people. Researchers test individuals based on questions they have about why people behave and think the way the do. Part of this, is how the brain works together to perform these day-to-day actions. However, there are many situations that challenge the performance of actions. A common challenge that occurs in middle ages people is the Alzheimer’s Disease. The Alzheimer 's Disease is a serious condition that affects the loss of…

their brain in important ways. Gorilla brains basically work like human brains they are the closest mammals to humans. Elephants have really good memory so the limbic system of the brain will be a decent size. The parts like the mortar cortex and the somatosensory cortex will be the same size since they have to do with body functions and movements. The cerebrum and the cerebellum will only have one side instead of both halves, because there is only gonna be half of the brain shown so you can see…

Virchow-Robin (VR) spaces or perivascular spaces of the brain refer to spaces that accompany the cerebral vessels as they pass from subarachnoid space into the brain parenchyma. A few evident perivascular spaces can be considered normal at any age but many visible perivascular spaces are not. The relevance of visible perivascular spaces to SVD is shown by their presence in increased numbers in patients with white matter hyper-intensities and with symptomatic lacunar ischemic stroke. The…

Neurogenesis is the process in which new neural stem cells are created. In the past, it was thought that this process ends in childhood. New studies have proven this wrong, and in fact neurogenesis continues to occur throughout adulthood. It is now hypothesized to play to be the main component in neural plasticity, our ability to learn, and memorize. There are many factors that can affect neurogenesis, both genetic and environmental. Cruz and Nixon (2003) sought to see what effects, if any, that…

Vocal and singing breathing exercises hold the key to effective sound quality and proper pitching, along with developing the correct singing posture. When we breathe, we tend to take in air and release it in a burst, as quickly as possible. This holds true for 99% people but singing requires you to breathe in a different manner. As you move up the learning curve, you will also begin understanding how important it is to control your breath especially while singing soprano or tenor. Proper…

Our sensorimotor has many parts to function and manipulate what we want our body part to do. We simply must think and react to what are next move and in rapid millisecond either our hand or leg moves. As this occurs, our primary somatosensory cortex that’s located in our central sulcus has a full chart of information lined up for our function to travel all the way to our spinal cord and make a movement. As Agnosia damages the path of any function of either of the temporal lobe or cerebellum, it…

Hypotheses of Mood Disorders Retrieved from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK28257/ 7) NOT DONE 8) The pyramidal system is a direct pathways for all motor impulses originating at the cortex of the brain. This pathway provides voluntary muscles of the neck, head and limbs. Neurons are created in the primary motor cortex. The pyramidal system has two tracts the corticospinal and to corticobulbar. The corticospinal is at the inferior level of the medulla. Lateral corticospinal tracts exert…
