Frontal lobe

Like Bill Clinton, John Proctor had cheated on his wife. However, when Proctor cheated it wasn’t common knowledge. The article mainly focused on the idea of forgiveness. At the end of The Crucible, Elizabeth forgives John. Before John was sentenced to hang many tried to get Elizabeth to get a confession out of him. This was like the many who tried to get Hillary to forgive, but with a lighter ending. In a way John was like Bill and Elizabeth was like Hillary, but in a more different and…

Neurobiology and genetics are thought to be causes of this disorder. The frontal lobes and the cerebrum are the two areas of the brain that are being studied for this disorder. The ability to understand this disorder through the processes of the brain helps scientists to potentially find a cause. There is evidence to suggest that ADHD comes from the Frontal lobes and Cerebrum. If that is so then the research in the next couple of years should prove exactly what causes…

Judges should take biological factors into account at the conviction and sentencing stages of the criminal justice system for numerous of reasons. These certain factors can affect an individual personality traits linking them to become deviant and eventually committing a crime. These factors can be physical, physiological, chemical, neurological, or genetic. Taking into account that a factor can occur simultaneously or link one to the next. Biological factors are determined by circumstances…

Justly or unjustly, humans live by a code of moral responsibility. We are deemed responsible for the actions we commit, and are given consequences for those actions. However, the nature of the free will vs. determinism argument can easily bring such a construct into question. In a philosophical sense, free will is defined as follows: a real capacity to choose among courses of action, allowing us to control and direct our actions in ways that reflect our deliberate choice or will. Conversely,…

those with IQ’s in the bottom 5 percent are 14 times likely to have been incarcerated.” Bruce Pennington and Loisa Bennetto of the University of Denver dispute that psychopathic traits are often present in people who have sustained frontal lobe damage. The frontal lobe controls things like impulse control, foresight, and emotional responsiveness so if this area has been damage it’s possible this could explain how someone could commit some of the horrific crimes we hear…

that gender differences are seen in schizophrenia is through fMRI scans of cerebral activation. Lastly, MRIs of the temporal lobe structure show that there are gender differences. These things each contribute in their own way to the gender differences within schizophrenia…

important in our lives because it makes us feels that we are worthy of living and feel that worthiness of our family members and friends. Human moral sense is evolving and a person’s moral reasoning all takes place in the frontal regions of the brain which is called the frontal lobes. He believes that morality is an instinct or an “innate part of our human nature” that we were born with. He explains that…

the medulla oblongata, the pons, and the cerebellum. The cerebrum, the picture on the right hemisphere of the model’s brain, is the largest part of the brain and consists of four lobes; the frontal lobe (in purple) which is responsible for reasoning and planning, movement, emotion, and parts of speech, the parietal lobe (in blue) which is associated with movement and the processing…

emotional storms. Puberty occurs in most boys around the age of 14, so it is safe to assume that Mike may have already undergone puberty or currently undergoing it. However, maturation can also lead to continued development of the frontal lobe. The developments of the frontal lobe can lead to improved judgement, impulse control, and the ability to plan for the long term. That being said Mike may take some AP classes to better his chances to get into colleges by planning for the long term. This…

the disorder. One rare documented case involved a woman who developed “hyper empathy,” after having part of her brain removed in an effort to control her severe epilepsy. The woman’s case was especially unique because removing part of the temporal lobe involves area of the brain which recognizes emotions. After the surgery was performed, the woman’s seizures stopped, but she reported a new type of emotional arousal which has lasted for the past thirteen…
