The proposal that PFC sub-regions work together has been addressed by many theories. Shimamura (2000) proposed the dynamic filtering theory, suggesting that the PFC acts as a selective filter in terms of information inputs. In contrast, Miller & Cohen (2001) suggested that cognitive control derives from the active maintenance of PFC activity that represents goals and the means to achieve them in terms of a map of the cortical pathways needed to perform them. More specific theories have been…

Tennyson uses different yet similar techniques when writing as does William Wordsworth. They both use forms of alliteration and metaphors, but in different ways. The imagery of the Tennyson poem “In Memoriam” Lyric 56 is both realistic and concrete as well as abstract and complex. For example, he uses imagery to say “through nature, red in tooth and claw.” This is unrealistic and rather complex in a way that is also negative. The poem also states that the writer “cares for nothing.” Finally,…

Paper 1 draft was reviewed by the Professor and a friend of mine; however, the focus of the reviews were drastically different and allowed me two improve my paper in two dimensions. On one hand, the Professor focused on the structure of my argument and the evidences to support my argument. Since the Professor knows the background information well, she was able to suggest improvements in conveying the author’s ideas and exploit weaknesses in my argument. For example, I would never have noticed…

With the advancement and complexity of the health care system, it is only fair that the workforce and education level of nurses be increased. The institute of medicine insists that the nursing profession has to change in order to catch up with the growing complexities of the healthcare system [George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services (SPHHS), 2013]. In 2008, The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) established a two-year…

When discussing the family and the dynamics involved therein, there seems to be a lack of literature relevant to the relationships of siblings. This is to say, when speaking about the family, it would appear that the way in which siblings interact with one another is of no consequence to understanding the family. In lieu of discussing siblings’ relationships as it pertains to one sibling to the other, the discourse of the family revolves around the “powerful parent-child dyad” (Pfouts 1972, 200)…

computing power, and specialized functions, such as cognition, emotion and consciousness. With approximately 86 billion neurons (Herculano-Houzel, 2009), each neuron has approximately hundreds up to thousands of synapses, it has high structural complexity, and non-linearity, that endows with a rich dynamic. It is also a physical system composed of neurons that communicate with each other through electrical discharges. With that in mind, it is no coincidence that the main model used in…

The knowledge regarding the biological causes of depression is somewhat rudimentary compared to other illness due to the lack of thorough knowledge regarding the complexities of the human brain. However, the monoamine theory, hypothesizes that a predisposition to depression can occur in individuals whose serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine have been depleted (Bunney & Davis 1965; Delgado 2000; Hirschfield 2000) Serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine are neurotransmitters responsible for…
