PPA when compared to transcortical sensory aphasia, it is very much alike, in which articulation, repetition, phonology, and syntax are preserved but patient does not comprehend well. Good fluency is retained but as the disease progresses speech is characterized by repetitious clichés and semantic jargon. Lastly, less frequent words are substituted with more familiar ones typically from a superordinate category like “animal” for “dog” (Kertesz & Harciarek, 2014). Patients with logopenic PPA…

current methods work in discerning whether a memory is true or false. However their finding supports that sensory activity is stronger in true memories then in false ones, this is further supported in a past study where it was showed that the medial temporal lobe seems to be involved in false memory formation, and regions within the prefrontal cortex seems to be involved in memory processes resulting in the reduction of false memories (Schacter & Slotnik, 2004; Bernstein & Loftus (2009). The…

Is ADHD a real medical problem? ADHD has been one of the most controversial topics in the medical field till this day. Many believe it may or may not be an actual medical disorder. Even though many people believe that this isn’t a medical disorder there is thousands of research projects, studies and reports that state otherwise and numerous medical organizations that help advocate this reasoning. While many may still try to rebut this idea research has proven that ADHD is an actual disorder.…

unaware that they have this problem or finding a solution for this. A great natural solution it will be to introduce ways to stimulate the brain with Monaural, Binaural, Auditory beat stimulation and with meditation to increase and manipulate the temporal lobe in the left side of the brain. According to this research high-frequency beats might facilitate attentional control, which would fit…

Animal deaths, especially from anthropogenic causes, are valuable indicators of ecological and conservation problems that span a particular population (Collins 2011). Deer mortalities are no exception to this rule of thumb, as deer-vehicle collisions (DVCs) are a growing problem in the US and reflect the displacement of deer populations. Over 1 million DVCs occur in the US annually and result in the loss of human life, human injury, and considerable financial costs resulting from the vehicle…

Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “I am who I am today because of the choices I made yesterday”. I chose to learn from my mother’s Epilepsy instead of letting her disease affect my life negatively. I chose who my first love would be and how he would alter my personality as I matured. I chose to take my experiences in life, the good and the bad, and make the best of it. The photograph I selected depicts the most influential people in my life: my mother, my boyfriend, and myself. When I look at my…

Introduction Temporal lobe epilepsy is the most common type of epilepsy in adults, affecting approximately 1% of the general population. It is formally classified as neuronal misfiring in the mesial temporal lobes causing spontaneous, recurring seizures. In this review, I will investigate how the use of optogenetics in temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) reduces seizures and how it can help us understand the cell types and neuronal circuits that underlie seizure generation. The significance of the…

Autism Autism spectrum disorder refers to a broad spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication that begin at a young age, which commonly exhibits repetitive behaviors and restricted interests (Xiao et al., 2014). This pervasive developmental disorder is more prevalent in males than in females and has recently gained more attention because of its rapid increase in prevalence (Xiao et al., 2014). Today, it is estimated that 69.5 per…

they are high in ecological validity. Albeit, it is apparent FBMs are no different to ordinary vivid autographical memories as they decay over time and become distorted which highlights discrepancies in Brown & Kulik’s theory. Crucial progression on temporal lobe epilepsy and FBMs has emerged in research. With the progress of current findings on FBMs, future studies are vital to develop an assessment model of FBMs in an attempt to fully consider how they are formed, stored and processed…

She is very busy taking taking five classes and working part time but still has time to socialize with her roommate and meet up with friends she met at orientation over summer. She most demonstrates vector of learning to manage her emotions because while she is enjoying life on campus, she is struggling with…
