Peripheral nervous system

Listening to music you love can provoke the four major lobes in your brain, which are the auditory cortex, responsible for sound frequencies, the cerebrum responsible for memory, cerebellum responsible for reflex and muscle movement, and the limbic systems that reacts emotionally when we listen to music.With all four lobes in action we are aroused and our mood changes. When listening to a high tempo song it can precipitate memories of amusement that have occurred in the past, making you more…

This TED talk is presented by Ms. Ruby Wax, she is a comedian as well a mental health activist who has experienced depression and dealt with it in a manner that kept it from becoming a focus point throughout her life as well as her career.

A ration of one to four people can suffer from a form of mental illness and…

those they later reside in. The Nervous System is the master controlling and communicating system of the body. Electrical impulses act as signaling device; they are rapid, specific and cause immediate responses. They also use sensory receptors to monitor changes called stimuli. This is where gathered information creates sensory input. Integration is the processes and interprets sensory input which affects a response and creates motor output. Central Nervous System (CNS) consists of the brain and…

All of our feelings, sensations, motor, thoughts and emotional responses, learning and memory, the actions of mind-blowing medicine, the causes of mental disorders, and the other perform or pathology of the human brain cannot be understood while not the data regarding the fascinating method of communication between nerve cells. Neurons should unendingly gather data regarding the interior state of the organism and its external setting, appraise this data, and coordinate activities acceptable to…

Being the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S makes Alzheimer’s a common disease among older adults. Alzheimer’s is a continuous neurological disease that affects an individual’s memory, orientation and judgement. While damage begins to spread throughout the brain many abilities are lost. Cells lose the ability to perform these functions and end up making irreversible changes to the individual’s brain. Since Alzheimer’s is also a form of dementia it worsens over time. Although there are no…

Carl Zimmer, the author of this article, is a well-known science journalist and author. Within this article, Zimmer discusses what he has learned about the human brain, and in this paper, I summarize the main ideas and points that are brought up, while adding my own comments on its contents. The brain is known for being the most mysterious organ. Our current technology and methods of observation and experimentation are not advanced enough to unveil all that there is to know about it. Most of…

The cerebral cortex is defined by Kalat (2014) as being the most prominent part of the forebrain, consisting of multiple layers of cells that are located on the exterior of the cerebral hemisphere. These layers of cells consist of either white matter or gray matter, as well as the axons that transfer information with neurons, either through the corpus callosum or the anterior commissure, and connect both the right and left hemispheres of the brain (Kalat, 2013). The cerebral cortex contains six…

examined for strength and signs of atrophy. Procedure laboratory tests and X-rays can reveal diabetes, arthritis, and fractures. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke is attempting to get basic research on the brain and nervous system, and use the knowledge to reduce the load of neurological disease. NINDS-funded scientists are studying the element that leads to long term nerve pain disorders, and how the affected nerves are related to the numbness, loss of function, and…
