In what ways does music affect cognitive abilities? For many years it has been believed music has an ability to affect, develop and improve multiple cognitive abilities and brain functions. Modern forms of technology such as comprehensive brain scanning has allowed for such a theory to be tested and studied providing the information needed to understand the ways in which music affects cognitive abilities. Multiple types of sources have been gathered to develop understanding of the affect of…

“is the easiest way to put information into [our] brain and to take information out of [it].” It can also be said that mind maps are innovative and practical thinking tools to process information. Their primary aim is to take advantage of our cerebral capacity. “The mind map can be applied to every aspect of life on which improved learning and clearer thinking will enhance human performance.” Mind maps were popularized by the English writer and educational consultant, Tony Buzan as a result…

The nervous system makes it possible for animals to know and react to the environment around them. A change or event that evokes a specific functional reaction in an organ or tissue is a stimulus. There can either be an internal or an external stimulus. Internal stimulus being something like hunger or pain, while external is more along the lines of a sound or an odor. The nervous system interprets stimuli and orders other organ systems to respond. The nervous system does so through using sensory…

But, we never think about how we see things, how does what we see get translated into things that we can understand? It starts in the retina, where the receptor cells are. There are two types of receptor cells, rods and cones, both are only sensitive to visible light. Rods are chiefly responsible for night vision and respond to only…

To experience the surrounding world, the human body uses biological systems, senses, to interpret external stimuli and form a coherent, tangible view. The senses consist of seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, and tasting, where seeing and hearing are the most crucial. The perception of the world is the brain’s ability to analyze the incoming sensation messages and relay them back; sensation is both the initial messages sent by the nerves and the complete resulting picture created by the brain.…

The model showed that some women could become attracted to the same sex if they keep having positive same-gender experiences with that person. More attention to affection bonding process may help us understand sexual orientation better, Diamond concluded. She thought that more attention to these processes would help us understand how and why people show separate patterns of desires, and love for same-gender and other gender partners over their lifetime. (2003) Dr. Doreen Kimura (1996) thought…

brain can help us to better understand and properly treat those who are affected with generalized anxiety disorder.

psittacines (pronounced /?s?t?sa?nz/),[1][2] they are usually grouped into two families: the Psittacidae (true parrots) and the Cacatuidae (cockatoos). Parrots have a pan-tropical distribution with several species inhabiting the temperate Southern Hemisphere as well. The greatest diversity of parrots is found in South America and Australasia. Characteristic features of parrots include a strong curved bill, an upright stance, strong legs, and clawed…
