Cerebral hemisphere

Stuck in the Neutral is a novel written by Terry Trueman is centered around the subjects of Cerebral Palsy, the value of human life, and the stigma of euthanasia. The main character Shawn McDaniel, who happens to also be the narrator gives us insight into his life. “My life is like one of those “good news—bad news” jokes . . . In the jokes, it’s always the good news first, so here goes . . .” (Trueman) Shawn is fourteen years old and has spent his entire life in Seattle, a place he loves.…

connected within each hemisphere, while female brains are connected more between the two hemispheres. That is why men and women behave and function better. In one of Wlassoff studies it showed that men can detect and process visual stimuli and fast moving objects better than women, and scientists think it has to do with testosterone. That 's why more men become air pilots and race car drivers. "The left hemisphere of the Brian involves logical thinking while the right hemisphere is the seat of…

The spread of the performing arts, children, teens, and adults in the 21st century have gained an interest in learning how to play musical instruments. Studies have shown that people who not only listen to music, but play a musical instrument themselves, use more parts of the brain. Not only can it prevent them for getting a disease that affects their ability to think, but it also causes people to learn at rapid speed. “The human brain is one of the most complex organs in the human body. It…

ABSTRACT When brain scientist talk about plasticity, they refer to the molding of organs circuit by new experiences building new writing patterns, pruning others. Brain plasticity or neural adaptation or neuro-plasticity is the ability of the CNS to change & adapt in response to environmental cues, experience, behaviour, injury or disease. Neuroplasticity is assumed to be one of the essential characteristics of the nervous tissue which may be manifested comparatively rapidly and result in…

The human brain can be modelled as a matrix of dots. Each dot's color can be flipped to opposite colors. When a baby is born, it's brain matrix consists of a very low m x n dots. As the baby grew, the number of m and n changes (usually both increases in magnitude). The magnitude of m and n are not necessarily the same, as both number defines the capacity of an individual's brain. The larger the product of m and n, the bigger the capacity to think. Capacity of the human brain can be narrowed…

The neocortex is a part of the cerebral cortex in mammals, involved with higher evolved functions. In humans, the neocortex possesses abilities such as sensory perception, reasoning, language and motor skills. According to lab article, Preferential electrical coupling regulates neocortical lineage-dependent microcircuit assembly, the evidence support the main hypothesis in that electrical coupling between sister excitatory neurons regulate the formation of specific synapses in a developing…

What is Cerebral Palsy? The dictionary definition is “A form of paralysis believed to be caused by a prenatal brain defect or by brain injury during birth, most marked in certain motor areas and characterized by difficulty in control of the voluntary muscles”. The easier way to understand that is Cerebral Palsy is a disorder hat is found in infants and young children, it is a neurological disorder that effects the muscles part of the brain. It is a lifelong disorder; however, this disorder is…

How the Brain works... Have you ever wondered what an individual’s brain works before they begin to abuse different substances? The Brain is an organ in the body that is capable of many, many things in all reality the brain controls your every movement thought and everything that you do in life. You can’t even do a simple task without your brain telling you how to do it, things even such as breathing. Then to think how all of this can change just by deciding to abuse drugs or alcohol. It…

Measuring Brain Activity to Reconstruct Visual Experiences The principle of perpetual evidence states that brain activity is not random, and that the processes we use in mental visualizations are used in visual perception as well. The firing of neurons that occurs when one imagines shooting a free throw are the same neurons that fire when actually doing so. The fact that brain activity is complex and calculated has helped scientists see how the brain functions, and what areas are associated with…

of the brain has its respective functions and use. The brain is a part of the central nervous system and it can be classified into the hindbrain, midbrain, the forebrain and the brain stem right below the brain. Inside the midbrain, there is the cerebral cortex which consists of the temporal, occipital, parietal and frontal lobe. Their functions are processing auditory information; processing visual information; processing sensory information and order complex cognitive behaviours…
