Cerebellum

The speech disorders tend to be mild and moderate in severity. This disorder also can be temporary; it can be resolve in days or weeks. Ataxic Dysarthria located in the cerebellum. It generally results from bilateral; or generalized damage to the cerebellum; focal lesions typically affect area of superior peduncle, lateral hemisphere or paravermal regions. Friedreinch ataxia, Olivopontocerebellar atrophy, strokes, traumatic brain injury, tumors, toxic conditions…

Though that is not the case, it can be illustrated as such. Picture a healthy working mind as a fully lit scan of a brain. Activity is high, full or red and yellows. Now, in a scan of a damaged brain, black areas will be visible in places like the cerebellum and the thalamus/hypothalamus region. On the scan of an alcohol dependant mind, these are the areas no longer active. The brain has stayed the same physical size, but the capacity of potential working space has been diminished. In these…

Mercury Many studies have been performed to acquire specified effects of the toxic metal, Mercury, contaminating our ecosystems. Mercury is a toxic metal that can be fatal to human-beings and animals. Over the past years, many researchers have sampled water and different fishes to examine the concentrations of inorganic mercury. It has been studied that Mercury gets into the environment multiple ways. “Globally, approximately 6600 metric tons of Hg are emitted to the atmosphere annually, with…

weights around three pounds only. It is covered by the skulls. The largest part of the human brain is cerebrum. Human brain is interconnected with numbers of neurons. It is also known as a package of human emotions. Human brain is made up of cerebrum, cerebellum and the brainstem. Neuroimaging methods shows the variations in brain activity and the function of those specific brain areas. There are different types of neuroimaging systems such as CT Scan, MRI, fMRI. Brains can be divided into four…

The article “Jesse Jackson Announces He Has Parkinson’s Disease” by Niraj Chokshi is mainly about how Jesse L. Jackson, “a longtime civil rights leader and former Democratic presidential candidate”, announces to the public he has Parkinson's disease (Chokshi 1). In the article, Chokshi mentions the symptoms of the disease which happen because of the damage to the brain. This disease cannot currently be cured, but it can be slowed down by the drug levodopa. Levodopa increases the amount of…

regeneration with abstinence. In article (2) five meth users were examined after approximately 1.6 months of abstinence and again after nine months. Their results showed that there was no differences between short and protracted abstinence in the cerebellum, caudate or putamen of meth abusers who were evaluated twice. However, binding of [11C] d-threo-methylphenidate in striatum showed a significant increase…

The Implications of Zombie Apocalypse Preparation and Survival What Happens Inside of a Zombie’s Brain? The virus attacks and devours the brain’s frontal lobes, responsible for problem solving, so they cannot make complex decisions. Zombie’s cerebellums become impaired, which explains why they cannot walk so well, either. These beings also have an unexplained predilection for human flesh. (E. Landau, 2011) Zombies Can Be Helpful Although zombies are defined as an undead being created through the…

pool. My boyfriend and I were floating around enjoying our summer break drinking Tequila out of oversized Yeti cups; mine was pink. It was all bubbles and butterflies at first, but when I got out of the pool and began to walk I soon discovered my cerebellum had been impaired. Minutes later I puked and passed out. The tequila was an unconditioned stimulus (UCS). After this incident took place every time I hear,think, or smell tequila I kid you not I gag and cring, so that was the unconditioned…

instrument and by observing the brain of the people who play a musical instrument the brain is like going through a workout i.e. all the functional activities of the brain is being used. The human brain is the control center of the body. The brain cerebellum is underneath the cerebrum and it controls coordination and balance,…

produces saccade movement through four major pathways, “(1) a projection to the ipsilateral superior colliculus concentrated in the intermediate layers, (2) a pathway through the basal ganglia via the ipsilateral striatum, (3) a projection to the cerebellum via the pontine nuclei, and (4) a weaker projection to mesencephalic and pontine nuclei that make up the saccade generator circuit” (Schall…
