Lobe

The Prefrontal cortex, also known as the frontal lobe, is located behind the forehead. The Prefrontal Cortex helps with thinking ahead and sizing up risk and reward. The Frontal Lobe matures later than other parts of the brain. (Galvan). If teens spend too much time on screens, then their behavior could result badly, since their frontal lobe matures later. Prefrontal Cortex damage can cause disinhibition, such that the behavior of a subject is…

change due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder the hippocampus, amygdale, and the medial prefrontal cortex. The region that is affected the most because of trauma is the amygdale. The amygdale is an almond shaped mass of cells located in the temporal lobe of the brain.…

limbic underactivation which, “indicated that some of these people lack the ability to generate basic emotions that keep primitive killer instincts” suppressed (Brandt, 2007). Other researchers (Brandt, 2007) see similar deficits in scans of the frontal lobe, which is the part of the brain that deals with judgement calls and impulsive actions.James Blair, "believes that the amygdala forwards the wrong signals to the frontal cortex." (Brandt, 2007) However, there are scientists (Brandt, 2007)…

wouldn’t be completed. You will learn that the brain is broken into parts, it’s the cerebrum, cerebellum and the brain stem, they all have their job within the brain; the cerebrum breaks up into four parts the Frontal lobe, Temporal lobe, Parietal lobe, and Occipital lobe these lobes have important parts that work with the human body. The brain is vast with knowledge and information, and it’s been said that the human race only uses about ten percent of the brain. The brain…

Hidden Dangers A list of pros and cons can be assigned to everything, unfortunately, computers and cell-phones, though amazing, are not exempt from this. Cons can refer to many things, but the one biggest downfall that is worth looking into is the unforeseen impact that technology has on the human body. The three main parts of the body that are being affected negatively include the eyes, brain, and neck/back. The latest and greatest technology seems to be what everyone wants to get their hands…

The human body is a complicated thing. No one realizes what all goes through the mind just to do a simple task. The different anatomical features in the human body are many as are the physiological aspects in which all of these various organs and nerves work together. There are many types of tissues that come together make up the four main systems in the human body. These systems intertwine and jointly work together for a person to eventually phonate, breathe, or just walk around a room. The…

D.J. Fluker, offensive lineman, of the San Diego Chargers, experienced a concussion on November 22 during their game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Fluker will count this down as his fourth known concussion of his career. He had symptoms following their game that included a headache (Gehlken, 2015). All of this was after he experienced a concussion four days before during a practice. There is no set concussion protocol with the NFL rules on how many days a player must be nonactive. During…

concepts. After watching the video episode of The Secret Life of the Brain, the course concept that comes to mind are the Frontal lobe (Prefrontal cortex) of the brain and the amygdala. First, when watching the video episode, the episode discussed how the frontal lobe entitles how the brain helps humans to engage with each other and our environment. However, the frontal lobe becomes a contributing factor of how the psychological disorder of depression arises for patients such as, Lauren. For…

of very small layers of cells composed of billions of neurons as well as their endless interconnections. Each of the paired hemispheres of the cortex is branched in the direction of four geographic lobes: temporal, parietal, occipital, and frontal. The motor functions at the rear of the frontal lobes control voluntary muscle movements involving…

different parts: the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the temporal lobe, and the occipital lobe. (See annexe 1) The first lobe is the frontal lobe; the frontal lobe controls your creativity, your problem solving, your judgement, your intellect, your attention, your behaviour, your coordination, your smell, and your personality. The second lobe is the parietal lobe; it processes information like pain, pressure, touch, and how to judge distances. In the parietal lobe there is two Cortexes, the…
