So, the brain is a topic of Linguistics because of its relationship…

growth of the tumor. For example, larger tumors in the frontal lobe can cause changes in the ability to think. However, a smaller tumor in an area such as Wernicke's area can result in a greater loss of function. Intracranial pressure is usually the first sign of a brain tumor and it can cause persistent headaches. These headaches may not respond to headache remedies and they may be accompanied by vomiting. A tumor in any of these lobes may affect the area's performance. The location of the…

systems such as CT Scan, MRI, fMRI. Brains can be divided into four lobes and has different functions. Frontal lobe which is the front part of the brain is related with intelligence, personality, voluntary muscle and emotions. Parietal lobe has the function associated with movement, orientation, attention, and spatial location. Occipital lobe the located in the back part of the skull and functions in a visual processing.

Signals for body parts are forwarded from different parts of the brain, which are called the left and right hemispheres. Broca’s area is on the frontal left lobe known for transforming words from thoughts. There are four types of lobes designed to send and receive messages.

biological theory of crime, you can also take into account the brains abnormality. (Bear, 2004) The cerebral cortex is the main portion of the brain that is studied, it is divided into two hemispheres and four lobes; frontal; parietal; temporal and occipital.

The problem of how these diminutive hominins arrived on the island of Flores is still a mystery. The dating shows H. floresiensis arrived over a million years ago by the tools they left behind. The hominins had a minimal cranial capacity, yet they were able to live and prosper until recent times. The Indonesian…
