Neocortex

definition of the Triune concept of the brain. MacLean's evolutionary “Triune brain theory” proposed that the in reality what we believe to be one brain was in fact three brains encased in one.: limbic system, R-complex (reptilian complex), and the neocortex.[4] The idea of the limbic system has since been further extended and evolved by Nauta, Heimer and others.

behaviour and neuroendocrine adaptation1,5. Study has shown that in humans, a lack of such response during chronic exposure to psychological stress may be related to the development of stress-related disorders6. Research has focused extensively on the neocortex and the hippocampus, however, only Bains…

Metabolism: The following section will discuss the ways in which the body metabolizes barbiturates, to be more precise, the pharmacokinetics of barbiturates. Pharmacokinetics refers to how the body absorbs, distributes, binds, localizes, stores and excretes a drug (Tripathi, 2013). Factors such as absorption, distribution, and metabolism are variables that determine the drugs onset of effect and duration (Meyer & Quenzer, 2013). Barbiturates come in the form of capsules or antiesthetic, and can…

Brain Science will Change Communication Mode Communication has long been a significant issue. Although human has created language to help they get the mind of the others and the Internet makes transmitting information faster and more convenient, communication is still imperfect. For example, it is almost impossible for one to share feelings, image and memory in their mind integrally. Actually, people have to use literature,music and many other forms of expression to express themselves. But…

know that in times of stress or worry, each and every individual person has a unique way to cope with it. But the three parts of the brain, Thinking, Emotional, and Reptilian, are the base for all of the different ways we cope. Thinking or the neocortex, is the part of the brain associated with motor commands, our consciousness, spatial reasoning, and in the human’s case, our languages. Thinking is responsible for how we communicate with other people, and sometimes those people have…

Alzheimer’s presents changes in the brain referred to as neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. The neuritic plaques are formed when amyloid precursor proteins are not processed, resulting in toxic amyloid beta proteins, forming to make plaques. Neurofibrillary tangles are formed from the tau protein, a microtubule-binding protein, detaching from neurons to form tangles. Both plaques and tangles contribute to the death of neurons, resulting in the hallmark features of Alzheimer’s…

Ideological Abstractions or Intellectual Hypochondriasis The parasympathetic nervous system mediates (1) lust for fornication, (2) play to develop fitness to survive, (3) hunger, feeding, and storing or hibernating, and (4) love as grooming. Our neocortex enjoins Homo domesticus to add to (1) fornication -> (a) marriage (2) play -> (b) losing -> (c) shame (3) feeding, storing -> (d) greed -> (e) hoarding (4) love, grooming-> (f) charity -> (g) mercy -> (h) heaven The…

Alzheimer's disease was investigated in various pathological studies that concluded the disease begins in the trans-entorhinal region of the brain, begins to degenerate the entorhinal cortex, soon after progressing to the hippocampus, amygdala, and neocortex (Frost and Diamond, 2010). Consequently, the deterioration of the amygdala leads to the emotional dysfunction seen in Alzheimer's patients, while the hippocampal destruction leads to memory loss, resulting in two of the most debilitating…

Psychological Evaluation and Psychiatric Issues Symptoms associated with CTE are currently classified according to whether problems or changes are observed in cognitive processing, mood, or behaviour. Symptoms in these areas are usually diagnosed years or even decades after repetitive brain trauma when the neurodegeneration progresses to the point that changes in cognition, mood, or behaviour begins to interfere with daily functioning. Changes in these three symptom areas can be mild at first…

When a colleague asks how we are first thing in the morning, our answer is frequently a lie; regardless of how we feel that day and what is going on our lives, we automatically present a picture of wellness and happiness. This is just the first of many lies we will tell throughout our day, assuming we have not already lied to those we may have encountered in our household. Indeed, lies permeate our lives, and the average person [insert statistics here]. Why do we do this? What is the point of…
