Cerebral cortex

The choroidal arteries are deep cerebral arteries that supply deep structures in the brain. The anterior choroidal artery is a branch of the internal carotid and it supplies the choroid plexus in the lateral ventricles, parts of the visual pathway, the putamen, the thalamus, and the hippocampus. The posterior choroidal artery is a branch of the posterior cerebral artery. It supplies blood to the choroid plexus of the third ventricle and parts of the thalamus and hippocampus. An occlusion of…

process, (ii) store and (iii) use the information that we perceived in our daily activities. Information processing will happen inside the cerebral cortex, where it can be divided into the following parts: i. Frontal lobe: Control sense of self, motor control, and higher mental abilities, such as reasoning and planning. However, only a small portion of the cerebral cortex (the primary areas) directly controls the body or receives information from the senses. ii. Parietal lobe: Control sensation…

The nervous system is broken down into two major systems: Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System. We’ll discuss the Central Nervous System first. The Central Nervous System consists of the brain and the spinal cord. The Cerebral Cortex, which is involved in a variety of higher cognitive, emotional, sensory, and motor functions is more developed in humans than any other animal. It is what we see when we picture a human brain, the gray matter with a multitude of folds covering the…

Naïve Realism and Amnesia Naïve realism is the belief that we see the world exactly as it is, without objective or bias from influence of upbringing. Consequentially, naïve realism can pose an important problem when judging appearances as well as evaluating the objectives and biases of ourselves and those around us. For instance, if one was out in public with their partner, they may both exhibit different levels of comfort with reagrds to public affection without realizing that they most…

Important Vocabulary (highlighted in the handout): Stimulus, neurons, dendrites, neurotransmitters, axon, myelin, action potential, graded potential, transmembrane potential, neuroglia, cerebrum, spinal cord What is the central nervous system? It’s a system which consists of the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. This system only makes up about 3% of a human’s body weight but serves a vital function, gathering information about and reacting to its environment and any stimulus. Don’t Shoot the…

research finds that men and women's visual centers work differently. In the brain, there are high concentrations of male sex hormone receptors throughout the cerebral cortex, especially in the visual cortex which is responsible for processing images. Androgens are responsible for controlling the development of neutrons in the visual cortex during embryogenesis. This results with males having 25% more of these neutrons. Overall this can make males and females perceive objects…

matter in the brain between the midbrain and the cerebral cortex. If the thalamus is damaged might result in the loss or partial loss of any or all of those sensations. Corpus Callosum: It allows the exchange of information between the two spheres of our brain. If we did not have it, the two spheres of our brain would be unable to transmit information to each other hence no communication would occur. Wernicke’s area: It is part of the cerebral cortex concerned with speech. .If it is damaged, we…

Tereza Tong Informative Outline Topic: Dyslexia General Purpose: To Inform Specific Purpose: i want to inform the audience on how people encounter dyslexia Thesis: dyslexia can be treated if you can take the time to learn the different causes of it Introduction I. [ Attention Getter ] A way to help someone with dyslexia is to know the symptoms they are showing A. Dyslexia symptoms can usually easy to spot on some people 1. Their reading level are usually low and also slow 2. They…

Personality Analysis Rough Draft The prefrontal cortex of the brain is the anterior area of the frontal lobes in the brain. This area controls psychological behavior, personality expression, decision making, and regulating social behavior. Similarly, the frontal lobe is one of the four crucial fragments of the cerebral cortex. This section of the brain regulates decision making, problem solving, and control of purposeful behaviors, consciousness, and emotions. Although the brain is not fully…

can lead to seizures. Epilepsy is common with patients with CNS tumors. The grade relies on the size, pattern of venous drainage, and neurologic eloquence of adjacent brain. Grade I malformations are small, superficial, and located in noneloquent cortex; Grade V lesions are large, deep, and situated in neurologically critical areas; and Grade VI lesions are essentially…
