Occipital lobe

elation with this first fact we know that genes and genetic differences influence regional brain structures. Genetic maps revealed how genes contribute to individual differences: specially influencing Broca’s and Wernicke´s areas, as well as the frontal lobe. Secondly, the…

The second study measured cortical functional activity in patients with GAD. Results showed the increase in D2 values in all cerebral regions especially the left cerebral region and right temporal lobe while those with mild anxiety showed increased D2 values in the left prefrontal regions. According to Muzur, Pace-Schott, & Hobson (2002) the transition from waking to NREM is characterized by deactivation in the frontal cerebral cortex. This deactivation…

Introduction Brain injuries where something my parents worried about when I was growing because I played numerous physical sports; I didn’t worry about the repercussions of high impact sports or what could have happened. Now as a professional educator I worry about my student’s educational ability due to a brain injury they may acquire or may have been born with. Why is a brain injury so important for educators to recognize? What happens to that child in the classroom after sustaining a brain…

The forebrain is segregated further into four lobes; occipital, parietal, temporal and frontal. The three biggest lobes; frontal, parietal and temporal are affected far more when developing during the adolescent stages. The frontal lobe is considered the emotional control center as well as the home of personality traits. There is no other part of the brain where lesions can cause such a wide variety of symptoms (Kolb & Wishaw, 1990). The frontal lobes are involved in motor function, problem…

Dyslexia is an unrecognizable problem in many students, because people have a hard time recognizing the symptoms associated with dyslexia. Students, especially in middle school, are then classified as being lazy and difficult by their teachers. Learning is hard on any student who has a hard time reading and writing. People have agreed that if students of normal intelligence have not mastered reading and writing by the third grade, this is evidence that older students have dyslexia. The…

The human nervous system is our electrical wiring of the body that transmits signals between different parts of the body. It has two components; the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The nervous system is an intricate part of your body and life that 's made up of two separate systems, the brain, and spinal cord. During prenatal growth, the nervous system experiences many changes to gain its compound structure. The events of this early development include the…

resulting in the hallmark features of Alzheimer’s disease (McCance & Huether, 2014). These plaques and tangles begin in the entorhinal cortex, and exhibit some of the initial signs of Alzheimer’s disease. The entorhinal cortex is part of the temporal lobe and is involved in memory and the connection of…

Micheal Merzenich was one of the world leading researcher on brain plasticity and famous for his innovation and practical inventions in Neuroplasticity. His works mostly involve brain mapping, where brain is trained to think and process information differently. He believed doing the brain exercise is similar to taking drugs to treat brain diseases. He cured some disorder that once thought incurable. He is the first one to design the cochlear implant that allow deaf children to hear. He designed…

cerebrum, the largest part of the brain, is where the short term memory is stored. It is not stored all in one place. It is stored among the four lobes of the brain: the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobe. These lobes all have different functions and jobs. Depending on what type of short term memory it is, it will have gone to one of these four lobes. Long term…

ability to purchase a gun must follow reasonable parameters. Professional psychologists should examine applicants individually, and assess the extent of the mental illness. Illnesses such as schizophrenia which affects the occipital lobe, the temporal lobe, and the frontal lobe, which causes people to confuse reality with hallucinations would be a typical example of an ailment that should prevent a person from buying a gun. Stricter gun control with mental health screenings would not allow the…
