Cerebral aneurysm

The human brain is complex. No matter how much scientists study it, there always seems to be more to learn about the human brain. Sometimes it seems the more we learn about the brain, the more we realize just how much we still do not understand. While this is by no means a complete explanation of everything going on neuroscience, here are three recent medical studies connected with the brain: Brain Scans and Depression Recently, researchers at King’s College London and The University of…

its trillion synapses. After receiving two grants from the National Institute of Health, Dr. Van Essen’s Human Connectome Project (HCP) was fully funded. Dr. Van Essen chose to focus the HCP on long distance synapses within the gray matter of the cerebral cortex, otherwise known as the human macro connectome. In his Ted Talk he mentions briefly other neuroscientists studying the human micro connectome. Thus, the HPC had large goals for a relatively unexplored area of…

Jacobs runs with two themes: be careful what you wish for and you can't get something for nothing. Jacobs illustrates both themes when Herbert urges his father to wish for two hundred pounds. Everything seems to be going fine the next day until Herbert leaves for work. Not long after he is gone, a strange man comes to their house and informs Mr. and Mrs. White their son has been in an accident involving the machinery he was working with and he was instantly killed. The company Herbert was…

1. There is an increasing amount of elderly rising in today’s society. According to the U.S census bureau, and the 2010 census taken, the elderly percentage in America is steadily on the rise, due to the baby boomers (Ortman, Velkoff, & Hogan, 2014). In 2010, the elderly population made up approximately 13% of the entire U.S population, in one decade, the number of adults 65 and older, increased by six million people (Werner, 2011). According to this census, a group of analysts were able to…

The first video on Aggression is the Bandura Bobo Doll Experiment. The Experiment was founded by Albert Bandera who was an American psychologist that set out to see how far watching other people influence another person 's behavior. According to the YouTube video uploaded by Geert Stienissen where Albert Bansera speaks on his discoveries, Bandura stated that: The segment was taken from an early experiment on learning of an aggressive styles of behavior through modeling children and how they…

of Educational Performance: On September 22, 2016, I had the pleasure of observing a middle school classroom at The Day School. During my observation, I reviewed an extremely well written IEP for a tenth grade student diagnosed with autism and cerebral palsy. Academically, the student performs below her same age peers and state approved academic standards. She demonstrates delays in the areas of cognition, receptive and expressive language, fine and gross motor skills, self-care, and…

Concussion Head injuries have become a big issue in contact sports today, with many of the injuries being concussions. Concussions are known for their short-term impact of giving the athlete dizziness, nausea, and drowsiness but the long term impact is highly overlooked. The fact that this is an internal injury and known as an invisible injury is what makes this injury so unique. Physiologically athletes who suffer from concussions with experience higher levels of stress, loss of confidence, and…

The purpose of this review is to further investigate how children affected by trauma can be successful in the classroom. When appropriate interventions are applied, children who have been expelled or suspended from school due to their aggressive behaviors can succeed in the classroom; however, educators should understand that trauma affects the brain in children who have experienced or witnessed violence. Childhood trauma affects the social, emotional, behavioral, physical, and cognitive…

have a more advanced cognitive ability because of a “six-layered neocortex” (Brown, 2011, p. 325). Fish were believed to have a small paleocortex in their forebrain, therefore, structures such as the hippocampus, which is responsible for memory, the cerebral cortex, responsible for processing information, and the amygdala, which is responsible for conditioned learning would not be present in the telencephalon (Hines, 2016 April). However, recent studies have shown that the brain structures for…

I find it very funny that every age is mocking the elders and title them as being stereo type, I used to laugh -in my secret of course- when my mother put her thick glasses and try hardly to dive in her IPhone options, that she got recently, and after a while, she gets tired and shouts for someone of us to help her to access to her Facebook account, it seems to no matter how many times we try to teach her something, she forgets the other. Every are has its own trend or known for something, and…
