Frontal lobe

The human brain weighs 3 pounds, uses 20% of the daily resources consumed, and is divided into 4 distinct lobes: the Temporal lobe, the Parietal lobe, the Occipital lobe, and the Frontal lobe. The Frontal lobe is responsible for the functions we usually connect the brain to, such as thinking, decision making, planning, and behavior. When a child is young, their frontal lobe is under major developments, and certain actions they carry out are rewarded or punished by the parents, like drawing on…

matter fibres. This part of the brain is further divided into 4 lobes: frontal , parietal , temporal and occipital lobe. Each lobe of the brain has a different function frontal is the area for memory, problem solving,language,judgment etc... our temporal lobe works along side the frontal lobe involved with language and memory, this lobe also processes hearing and music. Our sensory information and judgment takes place in the parietal lobe.…

brain has four lobes and each lobe have different functions; the frontal lobe controls thought process and language, the parietal lobe controls sensory information such pain and touch, temporal lobe controls memories, and the occipital lobe control visual information. The brain is such an important, no one could live without it. A man named Phineas Gage worked as a railroad construction foreman until a large iron rod struck through his skull taking a large portion of frontal lobe, did Gage…

believed (Konrad et al. 2013). The brain consists of the frontal lobe and prefrontal cortex, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe, cerebellum, and the corpus callosum. The frontal lobe and the prefrontal cortex are under development during adolescence. It is located in the frontal and upper area of the cortex. This division develops slowly and is the last part of the brain to mature at about 24 years of age. The frontal lobe and prefrontal cortex are responsible for thinking,…

The prefrontal cortex is responsible for the capacity for representational memory, one part of the development of delayed response, and it depends on the maturation of the frontal cortex. Trauma victims, particularly children, usually have difficulty with those functions (van der Kolk, 2003). Excessive subcortical activation with decreased cortical inhibition combines to leave vulnerability in regards to the nature of incoming information. As children must develop ‘object permanence’ to modulate…

A. THE NERVOUS SYSTEM 1. What are the central and peripheral nervous systems? What structures are part of each? The central nervous system is made up of two parts, the brain, and the spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is made up of two parts as well, the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. 2. What are Neurons? Describe the key parts of Neurons, including: Dendrites, Myelin, Axons, and Synapse. To keep it simple, a neuron is a nerve cell. Most neurons are very…

Neural activity is defined as the interactions and processes that occur in the brain due to internal and external stimuli, giving rise to psychological function. Carl Jung’s (2014) model of typology identifies four basic psychological functions; thinking, feeling, sensation and intuition. Jung (2014) states that, “Sensation establishes what is actually present, thinking enables us to recognize its meaning, feeling tells us its value, and intuition points to possibilities, giving outlook and…

epilepsy it is not because the nerves no longer will turn off electrical impulses which results in seizures because of overstimulation (Epilepsy Effects). However, epilepsy has many affects on the human brain and not for the good. First the temporal lobe, which is responsible for your personality and decision making.…

Background Considerable biologic evidence supports the importance of estrogen to cognitive function. Some studies have investigated the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to reduce the risk of developing dementia. However, data from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) and the WHI Memory Study (WHIMS) do not support these observations, and suggest that estrogen replacement does not protect against dementia and may increase the risk. This topic is controversial and now discussed. Our study…

his frontal lobe destroyed, afterwards he was no longer able to hold back thoughts, his friends claimed he was no longer Phineas. Phineas was a mild mannered and kind man before his injury, after it he became a rude and irritable individual. Frontal lobe injury will also affect emotions, social and sexual behaviour, memory, and language. Parietal lobe injury will affect your ability to locate and recognize parts of your body, a condition known as autotopagnosia. Damage to the occipital lobe will…
