Neuroimaging is a technique that produce images of brain without any direct contact with the inside of the body such as internal surgery, incision of the skin. Neuroimaging technology become a powerful tool for both research and medical diagnosis. Because these technologies enable noninvasive visualization of the structure and functional segments of the brain. The field of neuroimaging has advanced rapidly day by day due to the development in technology and computational methods. The…

Psychological Processing Strengths: Various processing areas were assessed using a variety of measures related to cognition and memory, executive functioning and behavior and academic performance. Jasmine’s WISC-V processing speed index score fell along the low average range. Jasmine showed strengths with using her short-term visual memory. She was able to quickly, visually, scan a page and match corresponding symbols to their assigned numbers, as well as, visually discriminate whether or not…

them. Nicholas Carr believed that performing frequent routines will modify the brain. He also believes that operating the internet isn’t the most convenient way of finding a new scheme even though it is also adjusting your brain since it will alter with your mind and body by not focusing on certain things for a long period of time and also starting to fidget a great quantity. He also explains in the book that his brain or mind doesn’t feel the same,”... I used to find it easy to immerse myself…

be moved up because the brain is not fully developed. The brain is very complex, but scientist have discovered many things about the brain; such as brain development in teens to adults. The adult age should be moved up to the age of twenty-five because at twenty-five a person’s brain is fully developed, all the grey matter in the brain is pruned out, and people no longer give into peer pressure. At twenty-five a person’s brain is fully developed. How long does the brain take to mature?…

In the early 1960’s, Roger W. Sperry and Michael Gazzaniga worked together to explore the brain and its’ functions. They wanted to study the right and left side of the brain separately, and explore the idea of each side functioning independently. The study took place at the California Institute of Technology. Human participants, who experienced rare and very extreme cases of epilepsy, went under surgery to sever the corpus callosum. When the corpus callosum is cut, communication between the…

The Body’s Response to Stress Kimberly Shafto Ocean County College BIOL-131-DL1 The endocrine system and ANS work together in times of stress to maintain homeostasis. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is divided into two subdivisions the sympathetic, and parasympathetic. They sympathetic nervous system activates the “fight or flight” response which causes a rise in heart rate, pupil dilation, increased sweating, and blood pressure. The parasympathetic nervous system activates…

That classic saying, “you don’t know what you got till it’s gone” is used frequently for good reason. Throughout the day people feel and do so much but there is an activity that people are often oblivious to, movement. From the sunrise to sunset, our bodies are in a constant state of activity that is neither recognized nor appreciated. So what happens when the ability to move is taken away from us for the short or long term? Thankfully I have never had to deal with a lifetime without mobility,…

The nitrogen containing BP, Zoledronic acid, is one of the most commonly implicated drugs in BRONJ cases due to its higher potency and multimodal effect on bone remodeling and oral mucosa. 20-22 ZA induced BRONJ models are known to show classical BRONJ lesions with macroscopic features of bone necrosis, soft tissue inflammation and sequestration in various animal models, ranging from rats to large animal models like sheep. 16,17,23 However, the exposure of bone to the oral environment, either…

acute cocaine administration. This study further helps understand the effects of cocaine on neuronal remodeling, as well as a possible mechanism for addictive behavior. The study also provides a better understanding of the results of cocaine on the brain. The VTA has been associated with…

The nucleus accumbens is the release sight for the neurotransmitter dopamine, a nature chemical in the central nervous system. When released in standard quantities, it assists in critical brain functions. Like most neurotransmitters, dopaminergic signaling entails an equilibrium between dopamine release and the re-uptake by presynaptic nerve terminal. Under specific circumstances, a stimulus will promote the release of dopamine into the synapse. Dopamine transporters will then remove the…
