Cerebellum

Attachment is a basic need of every human. For a close and intimate relationship between infants and their caregiver's attachment is the most important factor. Responsive and contingent parenting produces secure attachment with children and those children who show more curiosity, self-reliance, and independence. Securely attached children also tend to become more resilient and competent adults. Whereas, the children who do not experience a secure attachment with their caregivers might have…

Burton 1 The human brain is such a complex and beautiful organ of the body but yet is underappreciated. Many individuals of the human race fail to appreciate the importance of the brain, but that is just how their brain works! Ironic to think, but yet it is just as sad. Since the existence of mankind the human brain has constantly been evolving, growing stronger into the intricate, sophisticated organs of the present. By natural selection, certain people have a brain that is more developed than…

Brainwaves and Cerebellum By: James Monds Have you ever wondered why the brain looks like it has folds? The brain is the most complex, and highest quality organ in the body. The brain has folds and has six brain waves: Beta, Gamma, Sensory, Theta, and Delta. The brain also encompasses the cerebellum, brainstem and four brain lobes: Frontal, Parietal, Temporal, and Occipital. The lobes and waves of the brain are an essential component of every human being. At the root of all thoughts, emotions,…

Forebrain made up of a pair of large cerebral hemispheres also known as the telecephalon and a set of structures sit deep in the cerebellum called diencephalon. Diencephalon includes the thalamus, lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), hypothalamus, and posterior lobe of the pituitary. Thalamus allows all the sensory inputs (except for olfactory nerve) to go through to the somatic sensory…

problems. The brain controls all human activity like breathing and movement, as well as thinking and judgment. The brain is made up of six parts: the brain stem, the cerebellum, the frontal lobes. the parietal lobe, the occipital lobes and the Temporal lobes. The brain stem controls breathing, heart rate, and sense of balance. The cerebellum is responsible for your coordination of voluntary…

Hindbrain contains the medulla, cerebellum and the pons. The medulla is where the spinal cord enters into the skull. It controls breathing, reflexes and sustains and upright body posture. The cerebellum are two rounded structures found beside the medulla, it coordinates body movement extensive damage to the cerebellum could prohibit one from standing up. The pons serve as a bridge for the midbrain. Pons are clusters of neuronal…

connector of the brain stem that connects the spinal cord with the brain but also the brain to other parts of the brain. Our next stop on our brain journey is the cerebellum. What the cerebellum does is enables us to move and perform daily activities that include, but are not limited to, walking/jogging or even swimming. After the cerebellum is the thalamus. The thalamus is like a news station in that it lets the rest of body know what is going on by sending sensory information to parts of the…

disorder originates in the cerebellum, which is located dorsally to the superior part of the brain and is composed of two hemispheres. In a healthy body, the cerebellum receives information from the spinal cord and then regulates motor movements. The cerebellum is composed of about half of the brain’s neurons. This does not mean that the disorder cannot develop in adulthood, however cases such as those are quite rare. The disease is caused by an abnormal development to the cerebellum, which…

also responsible for voluntary locomotion. It requires the knowledge of the body’s position in space (where am I walking to) and what movement should be made (should I walk) and the ability to hold the plan in memory long enough to carry it out. Cerebellum plays an important role in motor control. It does not initiate movement but it helps in precision, coordination and accurate timing…

The speech system of the brain consists of many different brain areas (Hickok, 2012) that are entrained into stable sensory representations and motor routines through a process of constant learning (Tremblay, Houle and Ostry, 2008). Consider the simple task of producing a familiar monosyllabic word such as “head,” which presumably involves hundreds to thousands of muscle fibers and millions of neurons, and whose activity span less than 500 milliseconds (Sengupta and Nasir, 2015). Sensorimotor…
