Occipital lobe

be as small as it was. The sheep brain dissection lab was done in order to help students understand how important the structures and functions are in the human brain. A few external details I was able to identify were the frontal, occipital, temporal and parietal lobes as well as the difference between gyri and sulci. Some internal structures I struggled to point out was the hippocampus and the pineal gland, in the future, I would do a further analysis of the clear difference between these…

the Hypothalamus, during this party would keep you awake and prevent you from falling asleep. Finally, the Occipital lobe is the reason you see what you see during the party. Without the Occipital lobe working, you would be impaired and blind to an extent. During the whole time you use your vision to see the room, the people and also the cards that you are playing with. The Occipital lobes are fast at sending information, provide accurate, and correct understandings of what you are looking…

playing sports, and even as I write this assignment. The brain is broken down into parts that control our response and interaction to the world we are surrounded by. In this paper, I will describe how Broca's area, hippocampus, hypothalamus, and the occipital lobe operate in our daily routine. You get a call on a Friday night, it is your best friend Chris. He invites you to a party and you agree to go. How do you know it's Chris? Well your hippocampus is at work since it allows you…

practice and theory learning. Nevertheless, your brain is helping you in every way possible. There are at least seven brain structures/regions/lobes that are used while driving. The list includes: The monoamines, including the dopamine and norepinephrine; The cerebral hemispheres, mainly the cerebrum and in the hindbrain the cerebellum; The occipital lobes used for sight, and lastly, both left and right hemisphere. One of the brain structures…

of the following The Temporal Lobe The temporal lobe is placed in the base of the cortex behind the temples. It is one of the four exceeding lobes in the cerebral cortex. The temporal lobe develops sensory information. It controls select listening and the data collected from the ears. Sound and speech is also created here. The temporal lobe conceives significant speech, including sounds and pitches. Long term and visual memories are stored here. The temporal lobe also determines objects…

Do we really use only 10% of our brain capacity to function in everyday life? It really depends on self opinion. Some of us may think we use more of our brain when we are working and some of us may think that when we are relaxing our brains are relaxing as well. There is no scientific theory behind how much we use of our brain. Most of us use our brains daily, to think, to react, to sense feelings, etc. You may be surprised on how much we use our brains each day. Its always active, axons are…

The primary body system involved with schizophrenia and depression is the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord. Within the nervous system, the CNS is the integration and control centre. Through communicating cells named neurons, the CNS interprets sensory input and generates motor output (Marieb & Hoehn, 2013). Neurons are cells that are specialised for rapid communication. Communication between neurons occurs at junctional points, or synapses. (Kiernan &…

ruptured. The size of the aneurysm determines the size of the bleed. The brain is composed of four lobes: the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes. The brain also contains the thalamus, hypothalamus, basal ganglia, the limbic system, and the cerebellum. Higher cognitive function, memory retention, voluntary eye movements, voluntary motor movement, and speech are controlled by the frontal lobe. Speech is regulated in Broca’s area. Integration of somatic data, visual data, auditory…

Cortical blindness is one of the rare neurological condition characterized by binocular vision loss due to insult in the occipital cortex. Pupillary light reflex are preserved as anterior visual pathway is intact. One of the rare complication of cortical blindness is Anton Babinski Syndrome. This syndrome results from damage to visual association cortex (brodmann area 18, 19) along with primary visual cortex (brodmann area 17) [1, 2]. Discussion Anton Babinski syndrome is a condition in…

allow her to paint. She is also using the hypothalamus by looking out of the window because it is giving her motivation for things to paint. Another part of the brain that she is using is the frontal lobe because she is concentrating on her art and making a goal to paint a landscape. The temporal lobe is being used as well because it is allowing her to hear…
