Prefrontal cortex

The structure of the brain is constantly changing from birth throughout the lifetime. It states that as our brain ages we start to lose our memory, retrieve new information etc. Also, people usually who are above age sixty an experience in cognitive decline, for example: weaken memory loss, decision making, social skills, remembering, paying attention, problem solving, and unclear thoughts. The experience of cognitive and memory loss as aging affects our daily routine and can impact out…

breaks. “We can use brain breaks and focused-attention practices to positively impact our emotional states and learning. They refocus our neural circuitry with either stimulating or quieting practices that generate increased activity in the prefrontal cortex, where problem solving and emotional regulation occur.” Children in their early years of school tend to be full of energy and have a very short attention span.” Brain breaks are short physical activities you have the kids do. They get the…

As a result of substantial research into complex human memory mechanisms; particularly within the last thirty years, the phenomenon of directed forgetting has been widely applied to both counselling professions; for suppression of previously traumatic events and also in general everyday use; as the ability to forget previous, unrequired information. Directed forgetting can be defined as an overall reduction in long-term memory, resulting from human demand to forget previously presented…

Previously, it was reported that carbohydrate mouth rinse improves repeated sprint performance. The current study, aimed to explore this postulation by examining the influence of carbohydrate mouth rinse on repeated sprint performance. The present study, employed a pre-experimental trial. This was parallel with printed recommendations (Hopkins et al., 2001). Moreover, the absence of a practice effect for any performance variable indicates veracity of the pre-experimental trial. Furthermore,…

are still being made in this realm of disorders. In the coming years, it is to be expected that more genetic related studies will help us understand the nature versus nurture link. We may also see more gene regulating developmental process in prefrontal cortex as well as in other brain areas (Xiao et al., 2014). Animal models will also be crucial in this research so that we can easily see the development of certain types of mutations and how they present (Xiao et al.,…

Involvement of prefrontal cortex is particularly interesting because that is the area where there are the most abnormality differences between the regular person and the serial killer. Which might explain some of the serial killer behavior and where fantasies originated from. The anterior cortex is where the feeling of empathy is generated. People with narcissistic personality usually have a lack of empathy…

Hidden Dangers A list of pros and cons can be assigned to everything, unfortunately, computers and cell-phones, though amazing, are not exempt from this. Cons can refer to many things, but the one biggest downfall that is worth looking into is the unforeseen impact that technology has on the human body. The three main parts of the body that are being affected negatively include the eyes, brain, and neck/back. The latest and greatest technology seems to be what everyone wants to get their hands…

Music can improve an athlete 's performance, by changing the tension in their muscles. Listening to music helps to release muscle tension, which in turn improves the body’s movement and coordination (How Music Affects Us And Promotes Health). When the muscles are loose, the body can perform action with less difficulty. During the rehabilitation of people with movement disorders, music can “play an important role in developing, maintaining and, restoring physical functions (How Music Affects Us…

Do you think consuming enormous amount of alcohol is cool? Does drinking relax your mind? Does it take away all your problems? The answers to all of these questions is no. Getting drunk does not make you cool in my eyes it makes you irresponsible. It may relax your mind for a little while but after that your mind is back to being all over the place again. It doesn’t take your problems away because after you sober up you still have the same problems you had before. Getting drunk may make you feel…

☠ CTE KILLS ☠ An athlete goes down on the field, and paramedics rush to his aid. When they arrive to help him they observe he has a large amount of head trauma. Over the years, this same athlete will continue to play contact sports such as football, or boxing resulting permanent brain damage. At the young age of forty, this athlete could already have dementia-like symptoms that occur in older adults. How can we allow this continue? Close contact sports such as boxing, MMA, and football are…
