Corpus callosum

After taking this Questa class I have learn many things about teaching and learning. Through Paulo’s letters I have learned that in order to teach, one has to continue to learn as well. That no teacher knows everything and that as a teacher I should be humble towards my students. I should not judge my students because of what I heard from other teachers and students. Instead, I should get to know the students myself and see what their compatibilities are. By thinking that I know everything, then…

have been used to determine how cerebral palsy damages parts of the brain. One type of damage caused by cerebral palsy is periventricular leukomalacia which is damage to the white matter of the brain that results in the posterior body of the corpus callosum thinning, the lateral ventricles becoming larger, and the lateral ventricular walls becoming irregular (Straub & Obrzut 2009). A second type of damage is bleeding of the brain caused by defective blood vessels; this is also known as…

neuropsychologist were able to determine which areas of the brain contribute to specific mental functions. Another type of study done was split-brain studies that show that the two hemispheres of the brain can develop two distinct consciousnesses when the corpus callosum connecting the two hemispheres is severed. The research shows that the two hemispheres are not even aware of what the other hemisphere is doing. All of this research is used to “prove monism” because it shows that the mind…

Some neurological defects like hydrocephaly, lissencephaly, partial agenesis of the corpus callosum are also reported with the Proteus syndrome. 112 It may cause paraspinal hamartoma. 110 Protuberance of the skull, 113 structural and functional asymmetry of the central nervous system, 114 hydrocephalus and mental retardation are also some features of proteus syndrome. 113 Epilepsy and ohtahara syndrome is diagnosed in children affected by Proteus syndrome associated with infantile spasms,…

Children require a lot of care and attention to help grow and develop. Not just physically but mentally too. Some parents may teach their children the ABCs or colors. But there are other aspects in the world that could affect development as well. Music has been shown to affect not only children when it comes to development, but adults as well. Music can affect many things with humans. Music can drastically improve the brain, cure the body/health, and change behavior. A musician 's brain is much…

The human brain is the control center of the body. It is split into many different parts, each with their own distinct function. Some parts of the brain complement and assist the other parts in their tasks. The brain, while being vital to the proper functioning of animals, is quite frail, and even a small amount of damage can seriously impair it from working normally. Any part of the brain can be damaged, and depending on the location of the damage and its severity, the effects will vary.…

inability to communicate effectively with others. In the article it states, “The study is thought to be the first to look at the effects of cannabis potency on brain structure, and suggests that greater use of skunk may cause more damage to the corpus callosum, making communications across the brain’s hemispheres less efficient.” (Sample, pg 1). In the article the lead researcher found that the higher levels of THC in…

The human brain, just like all the other parts of our body is unique. It gives us the power to speak, think and to solve problems. It works by using the electrical and chemical process to take in, organize, interpret, store and use information. The nervous system is divided into central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord and they are the decision makers of the body. Sensory information gathering and action transmission occurs…
