The human brain, just like all the other parts of our body is unique. It gives us the power to speak, think and to solve problems. It works by using the electrical and chemical process to take in, organize, interpret, store and use information. The nervous system is divided into central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord and they are the decision makers of the body. Sensory information gathering and action transmission occurs…

The topic for the research being proposed is to investigate whether the use of tDCS (transcranial direct stimulation) applied to a specific area of the human test subjects brain’s can enhance working memory, more specifically memory retrieval. tDCS has become a popular technology due to the affordability of the equipment involved. tCDS is a fairly new technology and with that comes unkown, not yet discovered, aspects of the technology. The first and most notable unknown is the long term…

Soon after, three more young female patients, each with similar symptoms to those of Susannah’s were referred to Dalmau; all had teratomas and all suffered behavioral and personality transformations that deteriorated into destructive neurological damage. Suspecting that the teratomas played a critical role in this unfolding medical discovery, doctors removed the teratomas and administered immune-suppressing medication, resulting in the rapid recovery of three out of the four women (Braverman 3).…

The feasibility of implementing in an organization will determine whether a proposed system project is technically. Focusing what needs to be improved, the feasibility of applying a new ways of communicating to be used effectively, efficiently, and economically. This could improve an organization along with developing educational measures to monitor curricular innovation and appropriate resources. The first approach is have an overview of what needs to done and design a plan that will find…

Were the human body compared to a machine by today’s standards, it would be considered something of a marvel that is far ahead of its time. In addition to bringing together multiple systems to work as one cohesive unit, it also has the ability to independently maintain relative amounts of consistency and constancy within and between these systems. Comparatively speaking, if a computer is infected by a virus the user typically has to manually diagnose and remove the virus, but if a person is…

word he could say, but also due to anonymity. After Tan’s death, his autopsy revealed that the disability was the result of a specific brain damage in the left frontal lobe, called The Broca's area. Now these conditions of trauma are called Broca’s aphasia. The brian injury in the left, frontal lobe, affected the patient in their speech since that area is the control system of speech, problem solving, and movement, if it’s damaged then it affects these criterias, which is proven in Broca’s Case…
