love is a more abstract representation on the more sensorimotor lower-order motivation of desire. However there is also a shared brain network (the striatum, thalamus, hippocampus, anterior cingulate cortex, middle frontal, superior temporal, and precentral gyrus, and occipo-temporal cortices) that regulates rewards and goal-oriented behavior for both romantic love and sexual desire. This research does not dispute Perel’s claims, but adds another layer: love and desire are distinct, however they…
which holds the understanding of long-term memory (Puthiyedth et al. 4). Therefore, when it is damaged by Alzheimer 's, patients experience a larger amount of memory loss. The second region to be affected is the Hippocampus (HIP) located in the temporal lobe of the brain (Puthiyedth et al. 4). When the HIP is damaged patients with Alzheimer 's will slowly stop forming new memories. The HIP and a lipid transporter work together to damage blood flow which leads to the lack of oxygen to the brain…
Researching the correlation amongst brain anatomy and physiology is a primary pursuit of neuroscience. Simplistic in its composition the brain is astoundingly the most complicated machine known to man. This mass of protein and fat in addition to being responsible for maintaining homeostasis also encompasses attributes that not only make us unique, creative, empathetic, moreover human. Overview of structure & function The brain of humans is primarily composed of two general classes of…
The D.N.A. is a very complex topic that scientists still have a very few knowledge of so far. It is believed by most to be what defines human beings to be so special and unique compared to other individuals. If that is so, does Mother Nature also play a role in the terms of genetics in drug and alcohol abuse? Drug and alcohol abuse is the misuse and uncontrollable intake of drugs or alcohol, which may result to harmful effects to the body. If there is a relation between genetics and dug and…
that the increase in parental concern with raising children’s self-esteem is the cause of the increase in narcissism in recent decades. While the may seem similar, narcissism and self-esteem are statistically only weakly correlated. Narcissists feel superior to others while people with high self-esteem simply feel satisfied with themselves as a person. Ultimately, Brummelman and his colleagues attribute the increase in narcissism to parent’s increased attempts at raising self-esteem that are…
There are many reasons why I have chosen to discuss the topic of Asperger’s syndrome now called autism spectrum disorder. When I first learned about the disorder, it was only labeled Asperger’s syndrome, there were no in between that is what you were. The reason my paper is on this topic is because my daughter was diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome in her kindergarten year of school. She was shy and not a very social child, but acted like the other children for the most part. Her issues that…
Speech is the transmission of thoughts or feeling from the mind of a speaker, to the mind of a listener (Fowler, 2003). It involves many complex actions in order to both produce and perceive it. Speech perception refers to the process in which speech sounds are heard, interpreted and subsequently understood. Research into the area of speech perception aims to gain an understanding into how humans listen to and recognise speech sounds, and then use that information to understand spoken language…
INTRODUCTION In this search story I will talk about Autism in children and why the people discriminate autistic children, if their child can born like that?. Autism can 't interfere in to every person do many things in life, no matter what difficulty can be. All children have the opportunity to learn. Autism is part of what is known as autistic spectrum. This was identified by Leo Kanner in 1943 in the John Hopkins Hospital. In the same year the German scientist, Dr. Hans Asperger described a…
