Posterior parietal cortex

The Alzheimer’s Disease decreases the ability to perform cognitive symptoms and unconscious tasks, such as thinking of this off the top of your head or short term memories where things that were just learnt are carried out as. In addition, to the parietal lobe that controls our senses of touch awareness, other lobes such as the frontal and temporal lobes are affected in the same way. This is because each of these control just a third of what controls our conscious voluntary movements. Such…

The endocrine system is the collection of glands that produce hormones, which regulate metabolism, growth & development, sexual function, reproduction, sleep & mood, and tissue function. The endocrine system is made up of the pituitary gland, thryroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testicles. (Frucht, 2012 p.315). A gland selects and removes materials from the blood, hormones then travel through the blood to target organs to adjust their activity. This system…

. The 8 major systems within the body are the skeletal system, the nervous system, the endocrine system, the digestive system, the lymphatic system, the urinary system, the circulatory system and the reproductive system. Skeletal system - Bones make up the structure of our body, they are what gives it form. They are hard, and dense and interconnect via joints and are held in place by muscles and tendons. Bones are made of 25% water and 75% solids. the skeletal system protects and shields soft…

their brain in important ways. Gorilla brains basically work like human brains they are the closest mammals to humans. Elephants have really good memory so the limbic system of the brain will be a decent size. The parts like the mortar cortex and the somatosensory cortex will be the same size since they have to do with body functions and movements. The cerebrum and the cerebellum will only have one side instead of both halves, because there is only gonna be half of the brain shown so you can see…

Virchow-Robin (VR) spaces or perivascular spaces of the brain refer to spaces that accompany the cerebral vessels as they pass from subarachnoid space into the brain parenchyma. A few evident perivascular spaces can be considered normal at any age but many visible perivascular spaces are not. The relevance of visible perivascular spaces to SVD is shown by their presence in increased numbers in patients with white matter hyper-intensities and with symptomatic lacunar ischemic stroke. The…

Neurogenesis is the process in which new neural stem cells are created. In the past, it was thought that this process ends in childhood. New studies have proven this wrong, and in fact neurogenesis continues to occur throughout adulthood. It is now hypothesized to play to be the main component in neural plasticity, our ability to learn, and memorize. There are many factors that can affect neurogenesis, both genetic and environmental. Cruz and Nixon (2003) sought to see what effects, if any, that…

Vocal and singing breathing exercises hold the key to effective sound quality and proper pitching, along with developing the correct singing posture. When we breathe, we tend to take in air and release it in a burst, as quickly as possible. This holds true for 99% people but singing requires you to breathe in a different manner. As you move up the learning curve, you will also begin understanding how important it is to control your breath especially while singing soprano or tenor. Proper…

Our sensorimotor has many parts to function and manipulate what we want our body part to do. We simply must think and react to what are next move and in rapid millisecond either our hand or leg moves. As this occurs, our primary somatosensory cortex that’s located in our central sulcus has a full chart of information lined up for our function to travel all the way to our spinal cord and make a movement. As Agnosia damages the path of any function of either of the temporal lobe or cerebellum, it…

Hypotheses of Mood Disorders Retrieved from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK28257/ 7) NOT DONE 8) The pyramidal system is a direct pathways for all motor impulses originating at the cortex of the brain. This pathway provides voluntary muscles of the neck, head and limbs. Neurons are created in the primary motor cortex. The pyramidal system has two tracts the corticospinal and to corticobulbar. The corticospinal is at the inferior level of the medulla. Lateral corticospinal tracts exert…

million bits per second (The Human Brain). The brain is a very copious system created with four lobes which control emotions, thoughts, skills, memory and actions. To begin with, the brain is divided into four separate lobes, the Occipital, Temporal, Parietal, and Frontal lobes (Parts of the Brain). The Occipital…
