emotions.), amygdala (allow emotions to occur and be experienced), and hypothalamus (regulates the body’s homeostasis). The last stop on our brain journey is the cerebrum which is the largest part of the brain. But first, the cerebrum also has a cerebral cortex.…

malformations. The paper focuses on the Arteriovenous malformations (AVM). Mullan and colleagues hypothesized that AVMs begin during human embryonic development during the sequential formation and absorption of surface veins. In the absence of the middle cerebral vein or its failure…

In the article “Difference of satisfaction with medication between patients with schizophrenia treated with typical antipsychotics and atypical antipsychotics”, they authors trying to gather data based on the annoyances of side-effects and psychotic symptoms with taking typical and atypical antipsychotics and with the satisfaction with medication of patients with schizophrenia. They also assessed atypical antipsychotics were superior to typical antipsychotics based on subjective indices. Typical…

is produced by the choroid plexuses of the ventricle of the brain. It protects the cortex of the brain providing many mechanical protections. Also, it provides immunological to the brain in the skull. The brain produces about 500ml of cerebral spinal fluid which circulates and gets reabsorbed (Peterson et al, 2011). At any moment, only100-160ml is present. In a case of complete blockage of the flow of the cerebral spinal fluid, it leads to hydrocephalus and other malformations.…

responsible for processing visual information from the ears and eyes. The superior colliculi processes visual information then relays it to the primary visual cortex which is located in the occipital lobe. The inferior has a different job, which is to process auditory information before the information is relayed to the primary auditory cortex (Davies,…

motivation, and emotion. This structure is affected because it does not have as many neurons as people without BD.The prefrontal cortex controls voluntary behavior. It also helps with solving problems and express emotions. In this part of the brain, there is not as much activity when the person is depressed. The thalamus sends sensory information to the cerebral cortex. This is also involved in problem solving and thinking. The basal ganglia organize motor behaviors and the occipital lobe…

note how the cerebral cortex functions in terms of human consciousness, language, and the ability to imagine, reason and think is what makes human beings unique. Furthermore, the four sections of the cerebral cortex called temporal lobe, frontal lobe, parietal lobe, and occipital lobe have such distinct functions such as auditory perception and reasoning. For instance, the primary motor cortex residing in the frontal lobe carries out motor function while the primary auditory cortex residing in…

neurodevelopment processes and the technological evolution in the diagnostic for brain’s images, PET, sMRI and fMRI have had a relevant impact on the comprehension of neurobiological basis in autism through the anatomic and functional study of the cerebral connectivity, which have definitely improved the capacity of examining cognitive processes. In fact, sMRI allow to reproduce high-defined images of the brain’s anatomical structure and it is widely used for the study of the autistic brain’s…

Schizophrenia Assignment This essay will be focused on a mental illness known as Schizophrenia, which Jonathon is experiencing in the Case Study. It will outline its symptoms, the brain structures of Schizophrenic patients, how neurochemistry may be a possible causative factor in it and how medication can affect the brain structure and neurochemistry to manage symptoms in diagnoses of Schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a serious chronic mental disorder which is described chiefly by defalcation in…
