Cerebellum

Cerebral Palsy is a disorder of the nervous system that is caused by abnormalities and damage to one or more specific areas of the brain. This damage occurs before, during, or immediately after birth when a child’s brain is developing. Research has determined what kind of brain and central nervous system damage occurs when someone has cerebral palsy as well as the symptoms that correlate with each injury and the effective treatment options to manage this chronic condition. Muscle coordination…

The cerebellum is involved in the coordination of voluntary water movement. The cerebellum is involved in the coordination of voluntary motor movement, balance and equilibrium and muscle tone. It is located just above the brain stem and toward the back of the brain. It is relatively well protected from trauma compared to the frontal and temporal lobes and brain stem. damage to the cerebellum can lead to: 1) loss of coordination of motor movement (asynergia), 2) the inability to judge distance…

on one. In other words, main areas in the brain are under construction and are more sensitive to the toxic effects of alcohol. These effects inhibit parts of the brain such as the cerebral cortex, central nervous stem, frontal lobes, hippocampus, cerebellum, hypothalamus, and medulla. In more detail, it makes one…

If we want our brain been develop the way it supposed to do it, we need to do some kind of physical activity in our every day live and not be just on the coach wasting our live. This is one of many topics from Christopher Bergland the writer of many blogs about sports. His blogs are about how doing exercise will help us with our Cognitive Development, and how to keep our brain young and healthy.

Introduction: Athletes within every sport rely on their movements and the connections with the brain that allow a certain performance to be memorized. These efforts with the brain are referred to as muscle memory, giving the mind mental capacity to train muscles to a consistent action. The purpose of training a motion to be done effortlessly gives an athlete advantages under stress and when trying to expand on a certain element. The muscle memory is completely mental, the brain will pick up the…

In modern times there is almost no way to avoid the internet. With all of the technology constantly surrounding humanity it is a wonder that human interaction still exists. With technology being such a massive factor in everyday life it must have effects on the brain. UCLA scientists have found that key centers of the brain that control decision- making and complex reasoning are triggered while using technology, the results suggest that web search activity may help stimulate and possibly improve…

How Music Affects Who You Are When I was twelve years old, my dad bought me my first guitar. I had no idea what I was doing when I began, but within a matter of two weeks, I already had the basics down and could play full songs. To me and my teacher, that was incredible, because it takes most people at least a month. He had even told me that he thinks I was “born to play.” Along with learning guitar, I taught myself how to play piano within a year. I began to realize that no matter what mood I…

AIMS The following questions have to do with the study of patients who have undergone a surgery (for medical reasons, severe epilepsy being one) that severed the corpus callosum. This leaves the two halves of the brain to work independently from one another. The main questions this study seeks to answer are: how do the two halves of the brain interact with each other and how is this relationship altered after the subjects have undergone this surgery? METHODS Basically, subjects were asked…
