Anterior cingulate cortex

neuron systems in the observer (31,32, 37) with some physical locations of pain more sensitive to mirroring in the observer than others (40). The anterior insula, an area involved in the processing of both emotional and sensory information (a combination of which is defining of pain perception), has mirror qualities as well as the anterior cingulate cortex, a part of the limbic system (Morrison, Lloyd, di Pellegrino & Roberts, 2004; Morrison & Downing, 2007; Botvinick, Jha, Bylsma, Fabian,…

arterioles is impaired. It can be easily distinguished by white matter lesions (WML) and lacunar infarcts. The Schaefer research aims to identify the changes in functional connectivity for SVD. Changes in functional connectivity in posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) and in the DMN are mentioned in the previous research. Schaefer 's study focuses mainly on the frontoparietal networks and their altering connectivity. The research involved 12 participants whose rs-fMRI, T1- and T2- weighted…

INTRODUCTION A psychopath individual is known to act very impulsively, with disregard for others emotions, and against common social norms.5 Psychopathy is a mental health disorder that causes patients to exhibit lack of compassion and concern for others.2 Although there is a lot of information available to the public about how a psychopath acts, there is not much research done on why certain individuals exhibit psychopathic behaviors. Psychopaths exhibit certain characteristics and the…

al., 1980). Progesterone concentrations remain elevated during diestrus of the luteal phase due to the presence of the CL (Ireland et al., 1980). Follicular development continues and is initiated throughout diestrus by the release of FSH from the anterior pituitary. Dominant follicles that grow during the luteal phase do not ovulate. Through negative feedback, P4 only allows the secretion of greater amplitude but lesser frequency LH pulses that are inadequate for ovulation of the DF (Ireland et…

testicles in males (Zimmermann, 2016). These glands are ductless and release their products into the blood or lymph. These products are hormones which come in three classes: steroid glands that secrete these hormones in the testes, ovaries, and adrenal cortex, proteins, and catecholamine. With the endocrine system being made up of multiple glands there are also…

Introduction Pituitary tumors are abnormal growths found in the pituitary gland. The pituitary gland is a small organ in the center of the brain. It makes hormones that affect growth and the functions of other glands in the body. In most cases, pituitary tumors grow slowly, are not cancerous (are benign), and do not spread to other parts of the body. These tumors are best treated when they are found and diagnosed early. A pituitary tumor may produce hormones (functioning tumor) or not…

Hidden Dangers A list of pros and cons can be assigned to everything, unfortunately, computers and cell-phones, though amazing, are not exempt from this. Cons can refer to many things, but the one biggest downfall that is worth looking into is the unforeseen impact that technology has on the human body. The three main parts of the body that are being affected negatively include the eyes, brain, and neck/back. The latest and greatest technology seems to be what everyone wants to get their hands…

Music can improve an athlete 's performance, by changing the tension in their muscles. Listening to music helps to release muscle tension, which in turn improves the body’s movement and coordination (How Music Affects Us And Promotes Health). When the muscles are loose, the body can perform action with less difficulty. During the rehabilitation of people with movement disorders, music can “play an important role in developing, maintaining and, restoring physical functions (How Music Affects Us…

zombie is the lack of remorse. For instance, in The Walking Dead, a supporting character who turned into a zombie tried to kill her son and succeeded without blinking an eye. The area that affects your decision making is the prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for controlling personality expression, decision making , and social behavior. Zombies don’t express any of that. They have no personality and nor do they hesitate when trying to eat…
