LIMBIC SYSTEM AND TINNITUS Introduction A human body is a very delicate and complicated group of systems and organs that work together. We can say that each part of the body is controlled by and connected to several many organs. Thus, many diseases and disorders in one organ can actually indicate the error in completely different organ or system. That brings us to this, The limbic system and Tinnitus. A person who has tinnitus is a person who is continuously hear noisy and annoying voices and…

Magnetic Resonance Imagining (MRI) measure the frequency of magnetic-resonance signal. These signals can be measured at the same time, and their location is sorted based on resonant frequency. deCharms (2008) alikeness the MRI process to hearing several notes on a piano concurrently and then separating out the individual keys that produced each note based on the pitch of the note. MRI measures simultaneous signals emitted from an individual (just like the piano) and the origins of each signal…

the switch from short term to long term memory on a molecular level, we don't know a great deal about the downstream genes and proteins. Likewise, we are also facing some challenges in the systemic level – we still don't know much about the medial temporal lobe system. I think this paper successfully reviewed advances over the years and raised some interesting questions and ideas based on findings from previous studies. The authors appear to make sensible arguments. For example, the articles…

about the disorder. One rare documented case involved a woman who developed “hyper empathy,” after having part of her brain removed in an effort to control her severe epilepsy. The woman’s case was especially unique because removing part of the temporal lobe involves area of the brain which recognizes emotions. After the surgery was performed, the woman’s seizures stopped, but she reported a new type of emotional arousal which has lasted for the past thirteen…

Synesthesia: Crossed Responses to Inducers and Who is Affected Sylveria McCue Red Rocks Community College Abstract Synesthesia is a condition where the brain crosses the signals from the five senses resulting in letters, numbers, and words having colors, tastes having the feeling or vision of shapes in a synaesthetes mind, and sounds including physical responses of pain or pleasure. Acute studies on grapheme-color synesthesia provides the most research on who has this condition. Once believed…

Introduction Brain imaging techniques have been a prominent resource in developing research associated with several cognitive disorders including: Alzheimer’s disease, concussions, MCI, etc. Researchers have been developing novel approaches to help develop solutions and/or gain better insight for what disease, injuries, and impairment have on the brain. One of the more recent techniques that has been developed is fMRI. One of the cognitive issues it can look at is mild cognitive impairment,…

Abstract Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder known as ADHD is a prominent behavioral disorder defined as ongoing and increased levels of inattention hyperactivity and/or impulsivity. The primary goal of this paper is to review the current research. This review will be exhaustive in nature and consist of a description with a focus on sex and age differences, the neural pathology focusing on the abnormal brain structure and function of ADHD patients, etiology with a focus on genetic and…

Target Article: 1. Whitaker, R, 2016, ‘A Dominant Social Comparison Heuristic Unites Alternative Mechanisms for the Evolution of Indirect Reciprocity’. Sci. Rep. 6, 31459; doi: 10.1038/srep31459. This article encapsulates the research of Professor Roger Whitaker which suggests that the evolution of the human brain is related to the concept of examining one another and making decisions as to whether we want to help each other or not (Science Daily 2016). The results of a test…

may be typical of or normal for adolescents, but the failure of this response to subside over time may be indicative of anxiety (Casey 20). Structural MRI studies of adolescents with anxiety disorders have shown structural anomalies in the superior temporal gyrus, the ventral prefrontal cortex and the amygdala (Paus…
