After reading both Styron’s novel and Thomas Grey’s book, The Confessions of Nat Turner, I have come to the conclusion that both writings have holes in their accounts, that almost any historian can find fault in. Grey was a struggling writer that needed the money and could say anything he wanted after Nat Turner’s execution since Turner was no longer alive to point out inaccuracies. Then Styron openly admits that he is not a historian, he is a novelist. A novelist that cares more about…

With this information a successful treatment plan could be established and that could lead to a better live for psychopathic individuals and a reduced crime rate…

There are two different systems the peripheral and central. There are two types of matter in the brain: grey matter and white matter. Grey matter receives and stores impulses. Cell bodies of neurons and neuroglia are in the grey matter. White matter in the brain carries impulses to and from grey matter. It consists of the nerve fibres (axons). the neuron is the basic unit in the nervous system. It is a specialized conductor cell that receives…

discover is how one age mentally. Many theories have been proposed and seen through different studies. The most neuroscientist knew was that the grey matter in the brain would decrease as someone got older. Now for someone that doesn’t know grey matter is the part of the brain that contains most neurons, glial cells, and capillaries, in contrast the white matter in the…

(Annese, 2012). Important components of the nervous system include the spinal cord which consists of the grey matter with a butterfly appearance containing ventral and dorsal horns and a central canal as well as the surrounding white matter (Scholtes et al., 2008). Additionally, the cerebellum consists of the molecular layer and the granular layer which comprise the grey matter and white matter (Dell’Acqua et al., 2013).…
