Personality has always been a confusing phenomenon due to its empirical lacking nature. Psychologist understand how to manipulate personality but never what truly defines it. The reason could simply be because individuals are never one person. Humans are known for being adaptable ; meaning change is a natural part of life. It would in fact be a downfall to stay or act exactly the same constantly. One common example showcasing this is that a student would get in a lot of trouble if they spoke the…

We decided in my second year at United Way (1979) to produce some United Way radio ads on a new program called “Service and Referral.” It was an effort to let people know about the various organizations that are funded by United Ways (they were different in each community) and how to reach them. I decided to approach Hyman Brown, who had produced the CBS Radio Mystery Theater and before that Inner Sanctum. He was a master. He could use words to create stories that were incredibly compelling. I…

high in ecological validity. Albeit, it is apparent FBMs are no different to ordinary vivid autographical memories as they decay over time and become distorted which highlights discrepancies in Brown & Kulik’s theory. Crucial progression on temporal lobe epilepsy and FBMs has emerged in research. With the progress of current findings on FBMs, future studies are vital to develop an assessment model of FBMs in an attempt to fully consider how they are formed, stored and processed cognitively, to…

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday”. I chose to learn from my mother’s Epilepsy instead of letting her disease affect my life negatively. I chose who my first love would be and how he would alter my personality as I matured. I chose to take my experiences in life, the good and the bad, and make the best of it. The photograph I selected depicts the most influential people in my life: my mother, my boyfriend, and myself. When I look at my…

Introduction Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common type of epilepsy in adults, affecting approximately 1% of the general population. It is formally classified as neuronal misfiring in the mesial temporal lobes causing spontaneous, recurring seizures. In this review, I will investigate how the use of optogenetics in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) reduces seizures and how it can help us understand the cell types and neuronal circuits that underlie seizure generation. The significance of the…

The brain is one of the most important parts of my body and is made of 4 major parts called "lobe". The four major parts are: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. If there is a chance I have to sacrifice one of the four lobes to survive and live without one lobe, I will sacrifice my occipital lobe. There are some functions from both the frontal lobe and parietal lobe which originate my ability to walk, which I consider the worst for me to lose it. I couldn't not…

Parietal Lobe: The parietal lobe is vital for sensory perception and integration, including the management of taste, hearing, sight, touch, and smell. It is home to the primary sensory area, a region where the brain interprets input from other areas of the body. Because of the parietal lobe’s role in sensory integration, spatial reasoning, and language skills, damage to the parietal lobe can have a broad range of consequences. Occipital Lobe: The main functions of the occipital lobe are vision,…

could lead to long-term effect or temporary effects. A couple I have found are the occipital lobes, the frontal lobes and the parietal lobes. The occipital lobes are located in the back of the head, if the concussion hit the back of the cranium then this would cause damage to the occipital lobes. Therefore, resulting in damage to your vision, because the occipital lobes process visual information. The frontal lobes could also be affected by a concussion, because it’s located in the front and…

divided into different parts that one part of the brain would only be affected. There are six main parts of the brain. The different parts of the brain are Frontal Lobe, Temporal Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Occipital Lobe, Cerebellum, and the…

Background Considerable biologic evidence supports the importance of estrogen to cognitive function. Some studies have investigated the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to reduce the risk of developing dementia. However, data from the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) and the WHI Memory Study (WHIMS) do not support these observations, and suggest that estrogen replacement does not protect against dementia and may increase the risk. This topic is controversial and now discussed. Our study…
