Neocortex

controlled by a part of the brain that controls logical thought and language. The leader is the represents the emotional limbic brain and is the reason we do what we do. What the company does and says represent the logical thought and language of the neocortex. Why is in the part of the brain that regulates feelings and decision making but not language. That’s why we get that feeling in our stomach when something feels off. We can’t put it into words but we know we feel it. When we partner the…

predators, or food and relate that to an instinct. When mammals came into existence, more and more layers were added to the thalamus to produce the limbic system: the system that feels pleasure and sexual desire. This then lead to the development of the neocortex. This part of the brain allowed the first humanoid creatures to feel love (Martínez-Miranda and Aldea,…

Students who identify with gender or racial minority groups may see their group membership as an obstacle to academic success. Additionally, other theories suggest that the academic achievement minority-group children are jointly affected by cultural conflict both inside and outside of school (Nasir & Hand, 2006). These students may face obstacles such as nonsupport at home, parents who do not value education, or lack of relationships with teachers and peers that encourage learning (Nelson,…

IV. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy Another major facet of sports-related concussions is Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) as it’s considered to be a gradual neurodegeneration due to repeated mTBI (Gavett et al., 2011). Since there are many high-contact sports (such as football, hockey, boxing, etc.) as well as high chances of accidental injury in non-contact sports – repeated head injuries are very common (Gavett et al., 2011). This is another reason sports-related concussions…

person goes through when they are sleeping. These stages are differentiated by the theta activity (slow wave sleep) that takes place in each stage. The first stage that takes place involved theta activity which means the firing of neurons in the neocortex has begun. During this level of sleep there is an EGG level of 3.5-7.5 HZ. The EEG level is the electrical activity that takes place within the brain, it is recorded through electrodes that are connected to the scalp of a person’s head. This…

in order to better protect itself from potential European aggression, in combination with Naval superiority. In 1892, France and Russia entered a mutual defense treaty. Germany, the Austrian Empire, and Italy tied their fates together in the Triple Alliance. These alliances were essentially built on the belief that if power was in rough parity and victory was unlikely, aggression was less likely. The resulting actions bear close resemblance to Jervis’ description of the spiral model, which…

Cannabis, or cannabis sativa, originated in Central Asia and has been used for its psychoactive properties for many years (Iversen, 2008, p. 6). It affects the brain of adolescents and adults differently through the binding of CB1 receptors due to distinctions in neurocognitive development. There are certain changes in gray and white matter densities, brain volume, as well as endocannabinoid concentrations. This creates aberrations in cognition and memory performance. Cannabinoid’s structures…

Introduction: Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders observed approximately in 1-3% of population, it has affected around 70 million people worldwide and nearly 90% of them are found in developing regions (Ngugi et al; 2010). The corresponding figure for India was estimated to be more than 12 million with 1% prevalence contributes nearly one-sixth of the global burden (Senthil Amudhan et al., 2015). Epilepsy is a brain disorder characterized by an enduring predisposition…

Anatomy of cerebral cortex: Brain is most complex organ in human body. The ability of brain for its functioning normally is manifestation of various activities it takes participation in various activities of day to day life, being it hidden from the view or perceptible, like walking, smelling, thinking, laughing, speaking, and hearing. These manifestations are results of very coordinated and complex electrical and chemical activity within and between the cells those makes up our brain. Abnormal…
