Limbic system

Systems thinking (ST) is a concept to understand how a complex system (e.g. health management) functions as a whole by examining how the components (subsystems) of the entire system are connected and interact dynamically instead of as individual stakeholders. Historically, ST was developed and used by various disciplines in the twentieth century to transfer methods across disciplines known as interdisciplinary (Peters, 2014). Multiple disciplines can collaborate about methods and conceptual…

physiology is necessary in order to physical turn off the threat signals that are present. Having a balanced autonomic nervous system is what allows people to calmly access emotionally complex situations. This type of effective arousal modulation gives people control over how they respond in situations that often feel out of control. A poorly functioning autonomic nervous system, or one that is out of balance makes individuals more susceptible to depression, and PTSD. Research shows that a…

Our body as we know it is a complex system as well as the class room environment where skill learning takes place. This is due to the multiple moving parts inside the systems. Complex systems also have other facets to them such as having multiple levels to them, having attractor states to do things in certain ways, having self-emergent discovery, affordances constraints, as well as things working together independently but together as a whole. Our bodies being complex as well as the class room…

store and use information. The nervous system is divided into central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord and they are the decision makers of the body. Sensory information gathering and action transmission occurs in the PNS. The brain consists of approximately 100 billion neurons and it is the smallest building block in the brain. They connect and carry messages to and from the nervous systems. There are different types of…

Helen Keller essay By:Tiarra Sorey It is often said that the human body system is very complex, all of the many different structures has its normality just as much as it has its disorders. The eye is the organ of vision, the process in which vision is produced can be affected by things such as increased pressure, exposure, or just simply age. When this process is affected eye disorders such as glaucoma, cataracts, myopia, astigmatism, and many more, come into place. The ear…

Humans, or homo sapiens, are complex animals who are autopoietic entities. This means that they are self-generating and are not dependent on anything external to the body to direct construction and maintenance processes. While humans are alive, they continue to generate themselves. Because nothing from our outside organisation can direct our operation, we are autonomous. We are structure determined as our behaviour is determined by our structure in a particular environment. We can be perturbed…

physiological functioning. Because stress, anxiety, and depression have physiological effects it is important to understand how maternal stress responses impact fetal development. Fetal development concerning organizational influences of the nervous system is termed “programming” (Davis et al., 2007). The timing of fetal development in relation to maternal physiological responses influences programming and further affects infant behavior and temperament. Fetal exposure to maternal physiological…

As indicated by various researches, music triggers the Ventral and Dorsal Striatum of the Forebrain. The Dorsal Striatum is connected to the regions that are involved in prediction and action whereas the Ventral Striatum is connected to the Limbic system which regulates motivated behaviours such as Fleeing, Feeding, Fighting and Sexual Behaviour. It is also the centre of emotional responses. When the auditory senses experience any type of Music, Dopamine is synthesized out of amino acids, which…

correlation between intelligence and cortical density’s measures. Results of subsequent studies showed that the correlation between the general index of intelligence and some areas of the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the cingulate gyrus and the limbic system were highest. Nevertheless, these subsequent studies didn’t agree about the exact location of the activity within those wide brain…

The human brain is the control center of the body. It is split into many different parts, each with their own distinct function. Some parts of the brain complement and assist the other parts in their tasks. The brain, while being vital to the proper functioning of animals, is quite frail, and even a small amount of damage can seriously impair it from working normally. Any part of the brain can be damaged, and depending on the location of the damage and its severity, the effects will vary.…
