Brain death

Music affects two parts in the brain called the hippocampus and the frontal cortex. These areas are in charge of memories. They also are constantly taking in information on a person surroundings and situations. Most memories don’t simply come when a person want them to. Music helps the brain provide a rhyme and rhythm to help unlock the memory with help from certain cues in the music. This is why on certain songs…

Rationalist’s understanding of the mind/body problem typically states that everything we do and say should have a background of knowledge and reason rather than impulse and emotions. All the different types of rationality holds belief that the world is a rationally ordered whole the parts of which are linked by logical necessity and the structure of which is therefore intelligible. Defensibly, rationalist would argue that innate knowledge does not require input of any kind. Empiricists believe…

Researchers have found that music can have extremely positive effects on academic achievement in core subjects; reading, language, math, etc. In 2008 a series of essays were published; the author of these essays agreed that music is a “cross-cultural universal” (Perlovsky). Studies have found the development of creativity enhances the development of cognitive abilities and vice versa (Gouzouasis). Some sources assert that music has significant effects on the academic achievement of students of…

few different areas that give us the ability to perceive taste. One of the areas responsible for this task is the chorda tympani. The chorda tympani is a branch of cranial nerves the sends information from the taste receptors of the tongue to the brain (Wolfe, et al; 2009). Another area responsible for taste is the foilate papillae. These are the folds of tissues on the tongue that contain the taste buds (Wolfe, et al; 2009) Another important area responsible for a person’s sense of taste is the…

it takes creativity to solve problems. It’s an aspect of human intelligence. Creativity is everywhere and in the past few decades there have been a number of studies exploring the human brain and what makes one highly creative person different than the least creative person. They found that over 40 different brain areas light up like a Christmas tree during the creative process. There is no left or right side dominance as we once thought to be the case. How willing are you to take a creative…

effects of music on brain activity has been studied numerous times. Music has been shown to influence performance on various cognitive and motor tasks. Depending on the task, music can help or hinder a persons performance. In addition to influencing task performance, it has been suggested that listening to music activates the motor regions of the brain (Chen, Penhune, & Zatorre, 2008; Zatorre, Chen, & Penhune, 2007). Simply having music training has lead to different effects on brain activity…

A brain is the central part of nerves system in our bodies which is responsible for the collection, analysis information and manages and controls most of the members in the body. The brain is made up of millions of nerve cells when the baby is born. It goes through many physical changes in human’s lives. Here we focus on the major of these physical changes which are pruning, myelination and delegation, so these changes affected the brain’s abilities through the stages of human life, infant…

Essay Submission Assignment #1 1. Discuss the relationship between distribution of muscle fiber type and performance. How might exercise training modify or change a person’s fiber-type distribution? Muscle fibers can be categorized into two main properties, twitch and metabolic properties. The twitch properties consist of slow and fast twitch and metabolic properties consist of oxidative, oxidative/glycolytic and glycolytic (Beardsley, 2017). Slow twitch and fast twitch muscles fibers are…

Whenever one is startled, or caught off-guard, the innate human response is to either flee or fight. Most human brains are wired to run from danger. This runs parallel to when humans are faced with a problem or a difficult situation. Many individuals would rather run away from problems than work at resolving them. The novel “Things That Fly” by Douglas Coupland conveys the themes of Escape as well as The Human Condition in his short story by utilizing the symbols of Superman, the narrator’s…

in brain activity between low-level versus high-level reasoners? The alternatives for Coricelli and Nagel’s (2009) questions are as follows: (1) It could be that there is a difference in brain activity, either (i) in location or (ii) level of activation, between the low-level and high-level reasoners, or (2) It could be that there is no difference in brain activity for low-level and high-level reasoners. If there is a difference in brain activity…
