Ventromedial prefrontal cortex

parts of the brain involved with fear and the response to it. The thalamus receives incoming data and decides where to send it. It is located deep within the brain at the top of the brainstem and under the cerebral cortex, near the center of the brain. It is connected to the cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and spinal cord to receive sensory information. The sensory…

Study after study shows that any physical activity leaves behind many positive benefits but how much exercise does that imply and what kind of benefits are likely to be seen or even felt. There is no right or wrong answer although the Department of Health and Human Services recommends a minimum of 20 minutes everyday doing moderate aerobic activity such as walking or mowing the lawn combined with 10 minutes of vigorous activity related to running or sports while mixing in 2 days of weight…

(brainstem) to the top (cortex); from least complex to more complex. When the brain begins to develop it starts with the brainstem where it is found at the bottom of the skull and controls the heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. Next would be the midbrain which is found at the top of the brainstem and it controls motor activity, appetite, and sleep arousal responses. After the midbrain comes the limbic system it is found in the most inner, central portion of the brain or cortex.…

Basic / structure nervous system (2) What lobe of the brain is associated with the processing and interpreting of visual stimuli? Answer Choices: A. Frontal lobe B. Occipital lobe C. Parietal lobe D. Temporal lobe Explanation: The occipital lobe is the primary visual processing center. It receives visual input from the retina and interpret the signal into a recognizable image. While the parietal lobe and temporal lobe are also involved in visual perception, their main role differ. The…

are key components that result in teenagers acting different compared to adults. Teenagers rely on the back of the brain instead of the front of the brain whereas adults rely on the front of the brain. The front of the brain consists of the prefrontal cortex, the region of…

Advanced, creative, and superior are characteristics that are synonymously associated with humans. Through the creativity and advancement of the human brain people have achieved the impossible. Humans have been able to travel in space, design machines that can break the sound barrier, and present hundreds of moving images on a screen. However, despite their advancements humans forget at times that they are just a type of animal like all the other creatures that inhabit the planet earth. In…

The human brain is a product of millions of years of evolution. This organ has enabled monumental achievements since the existence of humankind and was important the development of tools and technologies necessary for the progressive advancement of civilization. Technologies such as water canals for irrigation and agriculture, automobiles and other vehicles for transportation and visiting areas of the world unreached for many millennia, and usage of ancient scriptures and eventually the…

to treat a personality disorder, behavior disorder, or other mental illness. Modern psychosurgical techniques target the pathways between the limbic system (the portion of the brain on the inner edge of the cerebral cortex) that is believed to regulate emotions, and the frontal cortex, where thought processes are seated. Psychosurgery is a general name for any surgery that is performed on the cerebrum to reduce dysfunctional behavior. Psychosurgery for the most part includes decimation of…

who have Posttraumatic stress disorder are in denial. PTSD can reduce the use of the amygdala due to the deep brain stimulation (Langevin et.al., 2016).The deep brain stimulation can inadequate the control of a cerebral target from the medial prefrontal cortex (Langevin et.al., 2016). Posttraumatic stress disorder is more common to be found in women than men (Bangasser, Wiersielis, & Khantsis, 2016). People who have Posttraumatic stress disorder have flashbacks and not always in their right…

Welch & Warren, 1980), since each sense drives others in the dimension for which they are designed. Neural mechanisms of multisensory integration have been investigated in many recent studies. Specifically, auditory effects in the visual cortex have been showed in many EEG studies in different methods of analyses (Busch, Wilson, Orr, & Papanicolaou, 1989). [Some others, Naue et al., Phase…
