The Nervous system is one of the most important parts of the body. It connects all other organs to help them communicate together. This system is made up of the brain, the spinal cord, sensory organs, and nerves that connect organs together. When all of these parts work together, they have control of the body. The brain and the spinal cord are two major organs that make up the central nervous system. The nervous systems relationship with the other systems is giving them the right information…

Cerebral palsy is defined as “a neurologic condition caused by injury to the immature brain; it is characterized by a non-progressive disturbance of the motor system” (Webb, 2017, p.260). This neurologic disorder can be classified into three categories which are spastic, dyskinetic, and ataxia. There are many different causes of cerebral palsy that can occur prenatal, natal, or postnatal. Motor movement is an impairment that is most associated with this neurologic disorder. Some communication…

Some neurological defects like hydrocephaly, lissencephaly, partial agenesis of the corpus callosum are also reported with the Proteus syndrome. 112 It may cause paraspinal hamartoma. 110 Protuberance of the skull, 113 structural and functional asymmetry of the central nervous system, 114 hydrocephalus and mental retardation are also some features of proteus syndrome. 113 Epilepsy and ohtahara syndrome is diagnosed in children affected by Proteus syndrome associated with infantile spasms,…

The brain is one of the most important parts of my body and is made of 4 major parts called "lobe". The four major parts are: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. If there is a chance I have to sacrifice one of the four lobes to survive and live without one lobe, I will sacrifice my occipital lobe. There are some functions from both the frontal lobe and parietal lobe which originate my ability to walk, which I consider the worst for me to lose it. I couldn't not…

The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, while it’s connected with brain function such as thinking and doing actions. There are four sections to the cerebral cortex there is the Frontal lobe that is responsible for reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and problem solving. Then there is the Parietal lobe, that is responsible for movement, orientation, recognition, perception of stimuli, Then the Occipital lobe that is responsible for visual processing, and the Temporal…

Task One Explain the functions of the following The Temporal Lobe The temporal lobe is placed in the base of the cortex behind the temples. It is one of the four exceeding lobes in the cerebral cortex. The temporal lobe develops sensory information. It controls select listening and the data collected from the ears. Sound and speech is also created here. The temporal lobe conceives significant speech, including sounds and pitches. Long term and visual memories are stored here. The temporal…

contingency learning effects, researchers will need to evaluate the role of learning processes in conflict adaptation. Furthermore, future research should seek to expand Botvinick et al.’s (1999) findings regarding the role of the anterior cingulate cortex in conflict adaptation by attempting to locate the other regions of the brain that contribute to this…

with psychopathology.” De Bellis, (2013). MRI scans of adolescents who have experienced physical and or sexual abuse show reduced cortical thickness and reduced gray matter volume in subcortical regions. Specific regions affected include the prefrontal cortex, parahippocampal gyrus, and the temporal…

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…

The Merriam-Webster dictionary describes multitasking as “the ability to do several things at the same time.” People multitask in order to complete work more quickly than they originally would have. After all, who wouldn’t want to finish their chores in half the time? When it comes to school, students nearly always welcome opportunities to finish early. Multitasking becomes an appealing strategy when faced with multiple homework assignments, extracurricular activities, and social gatherings.…
