fluorescing green), and DAPI-mounting serum as a DNA (nucleus) marker with blue fluorescence for reference against anti-Calbindin-marked GABAergic neurons (Lammel, 2016). While GABAergic-neuron-expressing anti-Calbindin labeled various regions of the brain such as, midbrain reticular nucleus (MRN), Red nucleus (RN), Substantia Nigra pars reticulate (SNr), and Interpeduncular nucleus (IPN), our region of study was focused on the ventral tegmentum area (VTA) and the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Role…

“calling”. I often times help others with their life situations. After they explain the situation I have to carefully analyze and give my best personal judgement. Realizing that the feedback I give will affect their upcoming actions, I must know how the brain works and what will trigger the response that they are wishfully hoping for from the person or persons they are interacting with. Psychology plays a big role in all conversation. People cannot make any mental decisions without using some…

successful in the classroom. When appropriate interventions are applied, children who have been expelled or suspended from school due to their aggressive behaviors can succeed in the classroom; however, educators should understand that trauma affects the brain in children who have experienced or witnessed violence. Childhood trauma affects the social, emotional, behavioral, physical, and cognitive development in children. As a result, children have increased impulsivity, hypervigilance,…

Have you ever wondered how we, as humans, developed our sexual tendencies? Or perhaps you have wondered why and how it is that humans across the globe are generally attracted to certain traits in potential partners despite differences in culture. There are countless questions that people may have about sex, flirting, dating, love, and any other subcategory that falls under personal relationships – these same people may often find it difficult to ask the questions that they have been harboring.…

in the brain as people age. As people age, many changes take place throughout the body, and that includes the brain. Often, certain parts of the brain will shrink over time; this usually occurs in the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus (NIH,2015). These two areas of the brain are involved with many important tasks, including planning, memory and learning. Changes occur within neurons as well as neurotransmitters. Those changes can lead to difficulties in communication within the brain. Many…

Thanks to this simplicity, we can easily observe C. elegans’ reaction to various reactions to stimuli in order to observe changes in behavior. Furthermore, because the worms have many genes in common with humans, we can draw parallels towards the human brain and its neurological functions. Stimulation through olfaction is a specific way to observe the neurological behavior of C. elegans. C.…

to create an image. Using all these qualities, new techniques, months of work, and hundreds of hours on the computer converting all the math involved in the filmmaking, animated images are created. Another cool effect is biological motion. Our brains are also amazingly able to detect biological motion in film. For Titanic, performance capture was used. By using a suit with lights that record movements, and aids in creating digital human actors. This is important tool in filmmaking…

enrolled in this psychology class it has made me take a deeper look into what I was thinking and feeling at the time of the accident. Psychology is important to me because it has made me think more about why things happen and thought processes the human brain goes through to get certain…

perception is my long-term passion for mathematics, programming, and the human brain. Before knowing much about machine perception, my main motivation was to participate and securing the first prize in Bangladesh Mathematical Olympiad for three times. Following this achievement, I graduated in Electrical Engineering taking major classes on theoretical signal processing and accomplishing a bachelor thesis on the modeling of brain hemodynamics. This made me enthusiastic for data-driven science.…

responsible for memory, the cerebral cortex, responsible for processing information, and the amygdala, which is responsible for conditioned learning would not be present in the telencephalon (Hines, 2016 April). However, recent studies have shown that the brain structures for fish are as equally as complex as those of “higher” vertebrate groups, with the only difference lying in the development of the telencephalon. In ray-finned fish, also known as telosts, the telencephalon is divided into…
