Neuroimaging of child abuse: a critical review. Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 2012 Vol. 6, DOI: 10.3389/fnhum.2012.00052 Don’t hit your kids, it isn’t worth it. How…

Anatomy of cerebral cortex: Brain is most complex organ in human body. The ability of brain for its functioning normally is manifestation of various activities it takes participation in various activities of day to day life, being it hidden from the view or perceptible, like walking, smelling, thinking, laughing, speaking, and hearing. These manifestations are results of very coordinated and complex electrical and chemical activity within and between the cells those makes up our brain. Abnormal…

As neuroscience research progresses, the concept of the mind becomes of critical importance. The mind is usually considered to be a separate, nonmaterial entity compared to the physical neurons within the brain. However, the field of neuroscience is finding many connections between the physical nature of the brain and the supposed non-physical aspect of the human mind. In a sense, neuroscience seeks to understand the functioning of the mind in terms of the physical neuronal firings of the brain.…

When women are pregnant and live in an abusive situation, that abuse not only affects her but her unborn child. They are considerably more likely to experience negative pregnancy outcomes including, maternal, fetal, and neonatal mortality than women who are not abused. Additionally, fetal injury such as low birth weight, preterm delivery, and small size for gestational age are seen more frequently among these women. Pregnant women are at more than double the risk of going into labor early than…

DIFERENCIAL “Nadie es capaz de señalar el lugar del cerebro dónde se desarrollan las buenas ideas.” This quote extracted from Miguel Delibes’ novel, from the fifties, ‘El Camino’, reflects how the brain has long-time been known to be the organ where intelligence inhabits, though no one has ever been able to precisely allocate where those ‘good ideas’ come from. The uncertainty surrounding this brain-intelligence dimension will consequently be exposed and discussed. Professor Hunt probably makes…

Physical development in adolescence is when puberty begins, the body has significant growth spurts, hormonal changes occur and their brains undergo significant changes, some involving the corpus callosum, in which the left and right hemispheres of the brain make stronger connections and the ability to process information improves. Grasping their sexual identities and developing new forms of intimacy, adolescents are more likely to engage in risky behaviors and increase their risk in contracting…

stimulation can be refined into talking to oneself, but it also provokes internal information, though the unconscious brain speed standers, which is slow and inefficient. This works by the inter communication being exposed to experiments with the corpus callosum severed, so that the left and right brains no longer internally communicate directly. “. . .creative language use can be accomplished by a parallel process in which multiple goals are simultaneously on the alert for materials. But what…

ChanMee Bae Psych 421 Take-Home Exam Total 40 points with 2 One-Point Extra Credit 1. Where are the soma of the receptor cells for the sensation located? (1pt) Dorsal root ganglion of the spinal cord. (Students should state the spinal cord to get the point) 2.

Schizophrenia: A Complex Diagnosis Schizophrenia is a mental illness that alters an individual’s perception of reality. Researchers have conducted studies for several decades to examine numerous aspects of this complex disorder. These studies identified several etiological and prognostic factors that contribute to schizophrenia. Additionally, several treatment modalities are used to alleviate the symptoms associated with this illness. This research paper will examine the diagnostic criteria,…

There are many pediatric impairments and disorders that are treatable within a physical therapist’s scope of practice, such as Cerebral Palsy or Down syndrome. However, what happens when a child is being treated, who also has a diagnosis that cannot be treated with physical therapy, like Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder? It is our job to research the diagnosis and learn as much as we can, in order to give the best possible care to the patient. Knowing about the pathophysiology, signs and…
