Occipital lobe

A person with a “normal” sense of perception will accurately interpret various stimuli. Words will simply look like words. Sounds will only trigger emotional responses. Scents will merely give someone a pleasant fragrance or a horrid odor. In a synesthete’s world—that is, someone diagnosed with synesthesia—these interpretations tend to skew. The first notable case was published by Georg Sachs in 1812, based on the elucidation of himself (Jewanski, Jay, & Ward, 2009). SYMPTOMS As mentioned…

thalamus sends information to the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe and area V1 sends information back to the thalamus. These two areas feed information back and forth. Area V1 also sends information to the secondary visual cortex (V1) which then relays that information to different areas of the brain. The ventral stream runs along the occipital cortex to the temporal cortex, while the dorsal stream runs along the occipital cortex to the parietal cortex. The cells in the inferior…

in shape and are found either side in the posterior thalamus. They receive input via the optic tract, which is the link between the thalamus and the LGN. [12] The input comes from both eyes and projects information to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe. [2] The medial geniculate nucleus is also found in the thalamus. It is responsible for auditory pathways. It receives auditory signals from both ears and projects them to the primary auditory cortex. Having a tumorous mass around this…

can in different places and same for your toes. Premise three “the parts of my body, including my brain, are spatially divisible” is true because the brain can in different places like the body can. For example, the frontal lobe is in the front of the brain and the occipital lobe is in brain, but the brain is in different places and have different jobs and the same for the body you have a left leg and a right both is a part of your body, but in different places. The forth premise “identical…

based on which parts of the brain is mostly damage. The physical, mental and emotional/ behavioral problems are all affected, inside the brain the six parts that are affected after a TBI are the Brain Stem, Cerebellum, Frontal Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Occipital Lobes and Temporal Lobes. (Ghajar, J. (2000). It is impossible to tell early on in the injury exactly what problems a person will have after a TBI. Problems naturally improves as the person recovers, it can take weeks or months. Some severe…

Schizophrenia Assignment This essay will be focused on a mental illness known as Schizophrenia, which Jonathon is experiencing in the Case Study. It will outline its symptoms, the brain structures of Schizophrenic patients, how neurochemistry may be a possible causative factor in it and how medication can affect the brain structure and neurochemistry to manage symptoms in diagnoses of Schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a serious chronic mental disorder which is described chiefly by defalcation in…

blindness. She adapts her apartment to suite her needs and now she lives a content life. In this unit, we learned about neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity allows the brain to compensate whenever it loses a sense, making the other senses take over the occipital lobe. In Sutton’s case, she states that her other senses did not become stronger and that she just learned how to use them better. If I were Lane Sutton, I would be depressed for a very long time because sight is such an important part of…

It receives and sends signals to other parts of the body. There are six main parts of the brain: the brainstem, the cerebellum, the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the occipital lobes, and the temporal lobes (“Part 2”). The effect of the injury depends on where it is centralized in the brain. For example, if one’s brain stem is injured, it may affect that person’s breathing, heart rate, and their ability to swallow. However…

Many substances that are abused are drugs; which are used by many addicts. They include marijuana, narcotics, and methamphetamines, which are highly addictive and can be very fatal to the persons health. “A psychological dependence is difficult to handle because it takes place in the abuser 's mind, which no one can see. It is what keeps the addict a slave to a habit. The abuser 's mind has become so adapted to the effects of the drug that the abuser requires its continued use to satisfy…

Experiments allow researchers to intervene and change behavior. Experiments also allow researchers to examine more than two variables at a time. Correlation studies, on the other hand, allow researchers to observe patterns that are not manipulated as they are in experiments. Correlations studies also only allow two variables to be observed at one time so that “the direction and strength for the association between the two variables” (Noba, 2014, p. 37) can be determined. As stated above,…
