Basic / structure nervous system (2) What lobe of the brain is associated with the processing and interpreting of visual stimuli? Answer Choices: A. Frontal lobe B. Occipital lobe C. Parietal lobe D. Temporal lobe Explanation: The occipital lobe is the primary visual processing center. It receives visual input from the retina and interpret the signal into a recognizable image. While the parietal lobe and temporal lobe are also involved in visual perception, their main role differ. The…

Advanced, creative, and superior are characteristics that are synonymously associated with humans. Through the creativity and advancement of the human brain people have achieved the impossible. Humans have been able to travel in space, design machines that can break the sound barrier, and present hundreds of moving images on a screen. However, despite their advancements humans forget at times that they are just a type of animal like all the other creatures that inhabit the planet earth. In…

The human brain is a product of millions of years of evolution. This organ has enabled monumental achievements since the existence of humankind and was important the development of tools and technologies necessary for the progressive advancement of civilization. Technologies such as water canals for irrigation and agriculture, automobiles and other vehicles for transportation and visiting areas of the world unreached for many millennia, and usage of ancient scriptures and eventually the…

otherwise disabling areas of the brain to treat a personality disorder, behavior disorder, or other mental illness. Modern psychosurgical techniques target the pathways between the limbic system (the portion of the brain on the inner edge of the cerebral cortex) that is believed to regulate emotions, and the frontal cortex, where thought processes are seated. Psychosurgery is a general name for any surgery that is performed on the cerebrum to reduce dysfunctional behavior. Psychosurgery for the…

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder caused by a non-progressive brain disorder or malformation during development (Stern, 2016). CP affects body movement, muscle control, muscle coordination, muscle tone, reflexes, posture, and balance. CP does not cause any further degeneration, meaning it is non-progressive, but it is incurable. This paper will be discussing the causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment for CP. It will also discuss the events and information acquired through the…

There are some people who have Posttraumatic stress disorder are in denial. PTSD can reduce the use of the amygdala due to the deep brain stimulation (Langevin et.al., 2016).The deep brain stimulation can inadequate the control of a cerebral target from the medial prefrontal cortex (Langevin et.al., 2016). Posttraumatic stress disorder is more common to be found in women than men (Bangasser, Wiersielis, & Khantsis, 2016). People who have Posttraumatic stress disorder have flashbacks…

Our cognition processes information coming from different channels of sensory modalities and integrates it smoothly. In most of the time we are not even aware of the modalities of the information, rather all we are conscious of is the information itself. Having more senses provides more accuracy in different dimensions of an event such as time and space. For example, one sense is less accurate about carrying time dimension of an event, while other is less accurate about estimating the location.…

Summary In the Article, What Can Neuroscience Tell Us about Evil?, the author Richard Brandt discusses how the advances in neuroscience reveal how the brains of psychopathic or sociopathic people are different. For example, some brain-imaging techniques show that not only do some of the psychopathic or sociopathic minds lack emotions such as empathy, but also, some techniques expose that these certain sections of the brain are inactive (Brandt, 2007). Furthermore, fMRI scans illustrate that in…

The Francisco Goya art piece I chose was Por que? (sic) [Why?] because it evoked the most emotion in me. Throughout the exhibit, there were many jarring pieces of art. Because Goya was living in a time of the Spanish and French war, he saw a lot of horrors and expressed them through his art. Por que? (sic) [Why?] was a part of a line of works that were not published until after he had died, assuming these pieces would have upset the public. The history behind these pieces, along with the…

that will be analyzed are the balance process, and its impact on the balance of school-age cerebral palsy children, in order to create a new mechanism to aid the. This study is socially relevant, because it helps parents to manipulate balance mechanisms, in order to aid their children to use other mechanisms to move around their environment. For instance, this would allow children who suffer from cerebral palsy to have a similar experience as the individuals who can use their muscles to move.…
