Three Facts About The Human Brain
After reading both of the articles on the human brain, I have learned a lot of things that I never knew of. But the three facts that I learned about the
brain that I didn't know before was on the national geographic site, the article brain stated that the "brain's nerve cells are known as neutrons, which
make up the organ's so–called "gray matter" (National Geographic, n.d.). That the cerebellum which is the second largest part of the brain is "responsible
for coordinating muscle movement and controlling our balance, and the cerebellum transmits information to the spinal cord and other parts of the
brain" (National Geographic, n.d.). Also on The Human Brain article the limbic system "regulates body temperature, blood pressure, blood sugar level,
and other housekeeping activities. Also, the limbic system exists only in mammals"(The human brain, 2001). ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net

I didn't know much about the brain actually until I read the two article that was provided. But it is helpful because it's good to know which part of the
brain causes different problems. For example, in the Brain article it states that the hypothalamus controls hormone and the "hormones govern growth
and instinctual behavior such as eating, drinking, anger and reproduction" (National Geographic, n.d.). Also, it's good to know what each part of the
brain is and what it does like the cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and it "has two halves that divides into four region or lobes in each half. The
frontal lobes are involved with speech, thought, learning, emotion, and movement. The parietal lobes, which process sensory information like touch,
temperature and pain. The occipital lobes deal with the vision and the temporal lobes are involved with hearing and memory" (National Geographic,
n.d.). Each of these lobes could be the effect of memory loss or any kind of brain

Frontal Lobe Analysis
Every single memory, feeling, movement, ability and action has always started and ended in the same place: the brain. Everyday movements like
breathing, yawning, or even reading would not be possible without the brain. It holds the everyday life of a human. Even though the brain holds eight
major parts, each part contains its own special abilities to contribute to the actions a body is able to do, from the simplest movements to the most
complex thoughts. Each and every brain contains all of the same components: neurons, nerve cells, synapses, astrocytes, and individual sections,
mapped out like continents on a globe. Neurons, cells that collect information from nerve cells, are what sends out the collected information to the parts

"The function of the cerebral cortex can be understood by dividing it... into zones, much like the geographical arrangement of continents"
(BrainFacts. org, 2012). One of the divided zones is the frontal lobe. The frontal lobe is in charge of initiating and coordination of motor movements,
like thinking, planning and organizing. The parietal lobe, which is located in the top back part of your brain, is involved with the sensory processes,
attention, and understanding of language. If damage were to be applied to this lobe, there could be severe consequences; damage to the left side
would impair the ability to understand spoken or written language, while damage to the right side would result in difficulty navigating spaces. The
back of the brain holds the occipital lobe. This lobe is what processes the visual information received through the eyes and helps to identify shapes and
colors seen. The last lobe of the brain is the temporal lobe. It is what processes auditory information given. The temporal lobe combines the information
from the other senses. In the temporal lobe, emotional responses go through the amygdala, the mass of "gray matter" inside the left and right
hemisphere. The brain is selective when it processes the moments that come through one of our senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. It then
sends the experience to the correct part of the brain which then sends out the appropriate reaction to the sense (Ford,

The Disease of Addiction Creates and Imbalance Between the...
Patho–physiologists define addiction as a disease, thus affording to the chemical imbalance between the limbic and frontal lobes of the brain (Litowitz
2012). Psychologists have taken a broader approach, linking neuroscience with a binomial relationship to human behaviour in order to diagnose and
challenge whether addiction is mind over matter, or indeed a neurological disorder (Burton, Westen, Kowalski, 2012). The following essay will firstly
discuss three theories of psychology and how they each approach this binomial relationship; with particular reference to Internet addiction. Secondly,
the paper will discuss research and results particular to each therapy and finally, argue that cognitive therapy as opposed to psychodynamic therapy and
behavioural therapy, is a better catalyst for effective treatment of Internet addiction.
Internet addiction is the psychological condition where the user forges an unhealthy, co–dependent relationship with technology (Litowitz, 2012). The
level of consciousness behind the addictive behaviour remains a point of contention between various psychology fields and their expressed opinions
and/or empirical data, all searching to fathom the aforementioned binomial relationship and decipher plausible, effective treatments. The binomial
relationship is pertinent in each field of psychology, with psychologists, scientists and medical specialists all in agreement that both the characteristics

The brain is the most important organ for regulating human behavior and thought. The brain is very complex and has taken centuries to discover how
it functions. The brain is separated into four distinct regions or lobes. These regions are called the frontal lobe, the occipital lobe, the temporal lobe,
and the parietal lobe. The frontal lobe is located directly behind the forehead and is the brain region that controls higher level thinking such as memory,
planning, and judgment. The frontal lobe also contains motor cortex which allows voluntary movements. Another vital brain region is the occipital

In this situation there are three external stimuli that would cause a reaction in the body. These stimuli are the flashing scoreboard, the taunting fans,
and the intensity of the game. The flashing scoreboard will be interpreted by a normal brain as annoying and eye catching. The information will enter
the brain via the visual cortex where the numbers will be identified. Once the numbers are identified then the brain can tell that the score is close. This
will trigger the sympathetic nervous system which will cause increased heart rate and a fight or flight response. The information about the taunting fans
would enter the brain through the auditory cortex. The temporal lobe will then process what they are saying. The reaction to this taunting would either
be taunting the opposing fans back or ignoring them and focusing on the game. The last stimuli is the intensity of the game which would be enter the

brain of the pigeon has a different structure than the brain of other mammals. In order to make a fair conclusion, more mammals with different brain
structures should be considered. This method would also allow for more testing control within the specific brain region, leading me to believe that the
results would be more accurate due to the mapping of the stereotaxic atlas. Another testing method to consider could be the use of a scanning electron
microscope. This microscope would create a highly detailed three dimensional image of the brain. Allowing for the investigator to perceive more
accurate result depictions through the changing results of the images within different mammal brain structures. First, the investigator could take an

Brain Damage In Brecken Hancock's Winter Frontal Lobe
In Brecken Hancock's poem "Winter, Frontal Lobe" the central theme addresses the loss of a mother figure in the life of a child and the loss of a

The shortness of the lines in this poem may reflect upon the main theme of brain damage, which can cause a change in behaviours such as initiation,

may feel or how the speaker himself feels towards his mother's condition. The lines in Hancock's poem are also short due to an abundance of
enjambment which is used to focus our attention on what comes after the first line. In the following quote: "His axe can't cleave/ this confusion"
(22–23), we have enjambment which creates something serious and unexpected. By stopping at the word "cleave" we might imagine something
splitting in half such as wood. However, Brecken finishes this idea by adding the words "this confusion" which creates a different idea than what may

Which Lobe Is The Most Important Part Of The Brain Essay
The most important part of the brain involved in memory is the cerebral cortex. It is located on the outermost layer of the brain and is responsible for
thinking and processing information from the five senses. It is made up of tightly packed neurons and is the wrinkly–like form that surrounds the brain.
The cortex is divided into four different lobes–the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital, which are all for different types of sensory information. As
the name indicates, the frontal lobe is located on the front of the brain. The frontal lobe is the part of the brain that controls important everyday
cognitive skills such as emotion, problem solving, memory, language, judgement, and sexual behaviour. It has often been described as the "control
panel of our personality and our ability to communicate." The parietal love is located on the upper back part of the cortex and is involved in the
sensory information that should do with touch taste and temperature. This lobe can carry information within seconds, with the information being

2005, p.67). This part of the brain has different functions for motor and sensory data. Four lobes are the part of the brain are that is covered. These
lobes have extremely important participating roles in the human system, and without them the body would be unable to do mundane tasks like talking
or memorization (Huffman, 2005, p.68). These help to control more functions and sending various messages to parts of the body. Continually, the two

Brain PartFunction A)Frontal lobeThe frontal lobes of the brain are the most anterior, which means they are positioned right behind your forehead and
at the top–front of the head.
The frontal lobes, which are also called the cerebral cortex, are the seat of emotions and judgments related to sympathy, which is the ability to feel
sadness for someone else's suffering, and empathy, which the ability to understand another's feelings and problems. They are also the seat of
understanding humour, including delicate witticisms and word plays.
The frontal lobes also identifies sarcasm and irony, another function of lobes control is the functioning of sequencing events, which is the ability to
plan a series of movements needed to perform a multi–step task, like making a sandwich. The ability to solve problems, which often depends on
flexible thinking and the ability to correctly express language are both controlled by the frontal lobes. The left is most predominantly language related
while the right is most predominantly non–verbal. the left brain is the source of logic, which tends to be language based, and the right is creative,

The Brain's Frontal Lobes Actions
The frontal lobe and the following other parts of the frontal lobe section of the brain have many functions. The frontal lobe part of the brain connects to
many other structural parts of the brain, connected to mini sections of which creates different effects to the lobe. Which are the prefrontal cortex,
orbitofrontal cortex, primary motor cortex, and premotor cortex.
The prefrontal cortex is located within the frontal lobe, but it takes up the majority of the lobe. The function of the prefrontal cortex is the crucial
performance, and skill it provides within the brain which requires intelligence. The brain is located in many different subjects, such as a human,
mammal, and animal. When discussing the prefrontal cortex, it's known to many that it's larger in certain primates and it tends to be that way but not
in mammals. It is also known to be larger in the human brain compared to other primates' brains. The reason of this is because of the high amount of
the level planning which is correlated by the members that have different species. The majority of the mammal population operate on most likely the

The Brain's Correction: The Most Important Parts Of The Brain
There are many important parts in the human brain such as the cerebellum and the hind brain, but the specific part that this essay will be focused on
is the brain's cortex. The brain is made up of layers and the cortex is the outer layer of the brain. If one were to look at a human brain the layer of
wrinkles covering the brain would be the cortex. The cortex is not just wrinkles on the brain, it is also responsible for controlling our senses and
several movements of our body. However, there are several parts to the cortex dedicated to a certain task, these parts of the cortex are called lobes.
One of the important lobes in the human brain cortex is the parietal lobes. The parietal lobes are located on the top of a regular human brain which
makes it the center of the cortex. Moreover, according to ciccarelli and white's textbook (2010), the somato–sensory cortex, which is located in the
parietal lobes, is responsible for recognizing the information ghathered through body receptors in order to identify the temperature of something, the
sensory details of what is touched, and to control the body position of humans. Therefore, the parietal lobes are an important part of the brain because

If babies' bodies grew at the same rapid pace as their brains, they would weigh 170 pounds by one month of age. Once the baby is born learning starts
immediately. Humans learn so many different life skills between birth to eight years old, for instance their name, counting, reading, writing, sitting,
walking, running, talking, using the bathroom, the alphabet and different colors and shapes. Adults do almost all these abilities without even noticing
their doing them. It may not seem very hard to learn the normal abilities but if the abilities weren't taught at a young age when the brain absorbs

The human brain is very complex and is constantly being studied. Scientists have named different portions of the brain and try to understand what the
different areas control. The Cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and contains most of the body's voluntary functions. (ChalkSMART, 2012) The
Cerebrum contains four lobes, the occipital lobe, the parietal lobe, the temporal lobe, and the frontal lobe. The lobes are named for the skull bones
they correlate with. Scientists have studied which lobes affect different functions of the body. According to McCaffrey (1997/2014), it is important to

The occipital lobe is the main visual area of our brain, the optic nerve from the eye sends signals here and we experience shapes, colors, and motion
around us. (Franzoi, 2014, p. 63) Also, "a lot of memory is stored in this area." (McCaffrey, 1997/2014) Damage to this area could cause blindness even
if the eyes and optic nerve are healthy. (Franzoi, 2014, p. 63)
Parietal Lobe The parietal lobe is located in front of the occipital lobe. This area of the brain is associated with touch sensation, smell, and taste.
(Franzoi, 2014) The parietal lobe is also involved in writing and in some aspects of reading and recognition of visual symbols. (McCaffrey, 1997
/2014) Damage to this region could mean a person could not feel an object placed in their hand.
Temporal Lobe The temporal lobe is below the parietal lobe, near the temples. Long–term memory formation, anxiety, hearing, language word meaning
and appreciation of smell is all associated with this lobe. (Franzoi, 2014) (ChalkSMART, 2012) (McCaffrey, 1997/2014) Damage to this area,

Parietal lobe receives all somatosensory input from the body. Wernicke's area is located in the back of the parietal lobe. Wernicke's area is important for
understanding sensory information for language. Damage to this part of the brain produces sensory aphasia. Patients cannot understand language but
can still make sounds. (Amthor, F. (n.d.))
Somatosensory cortex processes input from various systems in the body that are sensitive to touch. Specialized cells react specifically to pain. Multiple
types of sensation from body, includes tough, sight, hear, smell, and taste. Sensory information carried to the brain by the neural pathways.

The frontal lobes are described as the brain's "orchestra leader" (Martin, 1998, p. 190), which would place them at the reins of controlling effective
behaviour. Damage to the frontal lobes encompasses a wide range of symptoms including deficits in executive functioning, changes in personality,
emotional expression and social interaction. This includes apathy and lack of spontaneity, inability to plan and modify the sequencing of behaviour and
inappropriate behaviour.
2 The Structure and Functional Anatomy of the Frontal Lobes ===========================================================
In order to understand the complex nature of the frontal lobes, a synopsis of the anatomy of the relevant parts of the brain is pertinent.
Each hemisphere of the brain is divided into four geographical areas: the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe and occipital lobe. This division is
not based on functionality, but is an aesthetic one. The frontal lobe is the largest of these geographic areas with the Rolandic fissure (Central sulcus)
and the Silvian fissure (Lateral sulcus) and the Corpus Callosum creating the boundaries.
The frontal lobe is comprised of three functionally specific areas on the surface area of the cerebral cortex: the precentral cortex or primary motor

Differential diagnosis can be used to determine if an individual has a language disorder or if the issue is due to language differences. A language
disorder is when there is a noticeable difference between where a student's language skills are and where they should be depending on the language
development stage. Language disorders can result from heritable language impairment, injuries to the brain, and developmental disabilities. Language
differences are the variations in language between people. These differences can be a result of different dialects, gender, genetic predispositions, and
language–learning environments. Using differential diagnosis will allow a professional to determine if there is an issue with language differences or
if a language disorder is present. Language differences can be mistaken as a language disorder due to similar symptoms or features. An example of
language differences that are mistaken as a language disorder is when a student speaks using African American English (AAE) at a public school
where Standard American English (SAE) is used and taught. There are differences between the two languages such as syntax and semantics but they
are both governed by different rules. A teacher might mistake a language difference for a language disorder based on the differences between the two

Midbrain Research Paper
The arrangement of the human brain comes from the physical arrangement set as an embryo. The forebrain is the part of the brain farthest forward,
followed by the midbrain, then the hindbrain toward the back of the neck.
The hindbrain, located directly above the spinal cord, contains the medulla, pons, and cerebellum.The medulla controls breathing, heart rate,
swallowing, digestion, and maintaining an up right posture. As well, the medulla is where nerves from the left brain transfer to the right and nerves from
the right brain transfer to the left. Below the medulla are the pons. The pons control sleep and arousal. Behind both the medulla and the pons is the
cerebellum. The cerebellum is involved in regulation and coordination of body movements and learning.
Above the hindbrain is a small, neural area called the midbrain. The midbrain, in its retical formation, is responsible for regulating and maintaining
consciouness.

The Brain Is The Most Important Components Of The Human Brain
The brain is the greatest, the most fascinating and the most complex organ of the human been. According to Dr. Wolfe, the human brain weighs about
three pound. Humans do not feel its weight because it is full of fluids and it is floating. The human brain consumes ten times more oxygen of all the
humans' body parts and 25% of the total energy produced by the body. It is not the largest part of the humans' body, but it is one of the most important
parts. Through the years educators were like doctors giving certain treatment to their patients without being sure what the disease was. If the first
treatment given did not work they gave another treatment and so on. Nowadays technology has help to study how animals and humans brain works. It
also has helped to discover how and where information is manipulated within the brain during the learning process. To discover how the brain works,
the brain was divided in many parts. According to the book, the brain structures are cerebellum, brain stem, temporal lobe, broca's area, frontal lobe,

Three Facts About The Human Brain

  • 1. Three Facts About The Human Brain After reading both of the articles on the human brain, I have learned a lot of things that I never knew of. But the three facts that I learned about the brain that I didn't know before was on the national geographic site, the article brain stated that the "brain's nerve cells are known as neutrons, which make up the organ's so–called "gray matter" (National Geographic, n.d.). That the cerebellum which is the second largest part of the brain is "responsible for coordinating muscle movement and controlling our balance, and the cerebellum transmits information to the spinal cord and other parts of the brain" (National Geographic, n.d.). Also on The Human Brain article the limbic system "regulates body temperature, blood pressure, blood sugar level, and other housekeeping activities. Also, the limbic system exists only in mammals"(The human brain, 2001). ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... I didn't know much about the brain actually until I read the two article that was provided. But it is helpful because it's good to know which part of the brain causes different problems. For example, in the Brain article it states that the hypothalamus controls hormone and the "hormones govern growth and instinctual behavior such as eating, drinking, anger and reproduction" (National Geographic, n.d.). Also, it's good to know what each part of the brain is and what it does like the cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and it "has two halves that divides into four region or lobes in each half. The frontal lobes are involved with speech, thought, learning, emotion, and movement. The parietal lobes, which process sensory information like touch, temperature and pain. The occipital lobes deal with the vision and the temporal lobes are involved with hearing and memory" (National Geographic, n.d.). Each of these lobes could be the effect of memory loss or any kind of brain ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Frontal Lobe Analysis Every single memory, feeling, movement, ability and action has always started and ended in the same place: the brain. Everyday movements like breathing, yawning, or even reading would not be possible without the brain. It holds the everyday life of a human. Even though the brain holds eight major parts, each part contains its own special abilities to contribute to the actions a body is able to do, from the simplest movements to the most complex thoughts. Each and every brain contains all of the same components: neurons, nerve cells, synapses, astrocytes, and individual sections, mapped out like continents on a globe. Neurons, cells that collect information from nerve cells, are what sends out the collected information to the parts ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... "The function of the cerebral cortex can be understood by dividing it... into zones, much like the geographical arrangement of continents" (BrainFacts. org, 2012). One of the divided zones is the frontal lobe. The frontal lobe is in charge of initiating and coordination of motor movements, like thinking, planning and organizing. The parietal lobe, which is located in the top back part of your brain, is involved with the sensory processes, attention, and understanding of language. If damage were to be applied to this lobe, there could be severe consequences; damage to the left side would impair the ability to understand spoken or written language, while damage to the right side would result in difficulty navigating spaces. The back of the brain holds the occipital lobe. This lobe is what processes the visual information received through the eyes and helps to identify shapes and colors seen. The last lobe of the brain is the temporal lobe. It is what processes auditory information given. The temporal lobe combines the information from the other senses. In the temporal lobe, emotional responses go through the amygdala, the mass of "gray matter" inside the left and right hemisphere. The brain is selective when it processes the moments that come through one of our senses: sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell. It then sends the experience to the correct part of the brain which then sends out the appropriate reaction to the sense (Ford, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 3. The Disease of Addiction Creates and Imbalance Between the... Patho–physiologists define addiction as a disease, thus affording to the chemical imbalance between the limbic and frontal lobes of the brain (Litowitz 2012). Psychologists have taken a broader approach, linking neuroscience with a binomial relationship to human behaviour in order to diagnose and challenge whether addiction is mind over matter, or indeed a neurological disorder (Burton, Westen, Kowalski, 2012). The following essay will firstly discuss three theories of psychology and how they each approach this binomial relationship; with particular reference to Internet addiction. Secondly, the paper will discuss research and results particular to each therapy and finally, argue that cognitive therapy as opposed to psychodynamic therapy and behavioural therapy, is a better catalyst for effective treatment of Internet addiction. Internet addiction is the psychological condition where the user forges an unhealthy, co–dependent relationship with technology (Litowitz, 2012). The level of consciousness behind the addictive behaviour remains a point of contention between various psychology fields and their expressed opinions and/or empirical data, all searching to fathom the aforementioned binomial relationship and decipher plausible, effective treatments. The binomial relationship is pertinent in each field of psychology, with psychologists, scientists and medical specialists all in agreement that both the characteristics of neuroscience and behaviour and their intricate ...

  • 4. Unit 4 Brain Unit Writing Assignment Unit 4 – Brain Unit A. The brain is the most important organ for regulating human behavior and thought. The brain is very complex and has taken centuries to discover how it functions. The brain is separated into four distinct regions or lobes. These regions are called the frontal lobe, the occipital lobe, the temporal lobe, and the parietal lobe. The frontal lobe is located directly behind the forehead and is the brain region that controls higher level thinking such as memory, planning, and judgment. The frontal lobe also contains motor cortex which allows voluntary movements. Another vital brain region is the occipital lobe. The occipital lobe can be found in the back of the brain. Its job is to process and store visual information. The occipital lobe ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In this situation there are three external stimuli that would cause a reaction in the body. These stimuli are the flashing scoreboard, the taunting fans, and the intensity of the game. The flashing scoreboard will be interpreted by a normal brain as annoying and eye catching. The information will enter the brain via the visual cortex where the numbers will be identified. Once the numbers are identified then the brain can tell that the score is close. This will trigger the sympathetic nervous system which will cause increased heart rate and a fight or flight response. The information about the taunting fans would enter the brain through the auditory cortex. The temporal lobe will then process what they are saying. The reaction to this taunting would either be taunting the opposing fans back or ignoring them and focusing on the game. The last stimuli is the intensity of the game which would be enter the brain by the visual cortex. The occipital lobe will process this information and tell the hypothalamus to have the adrenal glands release ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Parietal Lobe Function There are four different lobes of the brain Frontal Lobe,Parietal Lobe, Temporal Lobe and Occipital lobe. The frontal lobe is performing the executive function that coordinates other brain areas and the parietal lobe processes auditory information and integrates vision and touch. In addition the temporal lobe process auditory information language and autobiographical memory whereas the occipital lobe process the visual information.

The cortex responsible for coordination of planning, control, and executing voluntary movements is the motor cortex. Motor areas are located in both hemispheres meaning it is located in between. The motor cortex of the left hemisphere control right side of the body. The motor cortexes of the right hemisphere control the left side of the body. Three parts make up the motor cortex. Which are the primary motor cortex, the premotor cortex, and the supplementary motor area (The Motor Cortex. (n.d.)).

As humans we share a lot of characteristics in common with one another, such as having hands, feet, eyes, nose, gender, ethnic backgrounds and etc. There has to be some characteristic or organ we have that differentiate all of us, and all these features we have in common, and that is our brain. The brain is one of the largest and most complex organs in the human body. It is made up more than 100 billion nerves that communicate in trillions of connections called synapses.

The cerebellum is connected by many multisynaptic pathways with all parts of the central nervous system, including the cerebrum, basal ganglia, diencephalon, limbic system, brainstem, and spinal cord. This makes the cerebellum one of the busiest connections in the human brain (Greg etal 1997).The largest portion of the brain is the cerebrum. This section contains tools which are responsible for most of the brain function, and it is divided into four subsections. The temporal lobe, the occipital lobe, parietal lobe, and frontal lobe. The cerebrum is divided into a right and left hemisphere which are connected by axons that relay messages from one to the other. This matter is made of nerve cells which carry signals between the organ and the nerve cells which run through the body. The parietal lobe is one of the four lobes located in the cerebral hemisphere, this lobe focuses on comprehension, visual functions, language, reading, and internal stimuli. Tactile sensation and sensory comprehension are the main trait focused in this lobe. The parietal lobe is separated into two different cortex's named sensory cortex, and motor cortex, The sensory cortex which is located in the front portion of the parietal lobe receives information relayed from the spinal cord regarding the position of various body parts and how they are moving, this area of the brain can also be used to ...

  • 14. Occipital Lobe Case Study 1. The occipital lobe is responsible for allowing visual stimulus to be understood by the mammals experiencing it. It can be argued that by lesioning the occipital lobe within the pigeon, she is impairing the lobe and therefore, the pigeon would be unable to determine a moving stimulus. In turn, one could say that the occipital lobe does play a role in motion detection, as motion detection is visually observed. However, this experiment doesn't necessarily draw one solid conclusion for whether or not the occipital lobe is responsible for motion detection. There are many pathways within the brain that are interconnected and complex. It seems too black and white to conclude that the occipital lobe is the main region of the brain responsible... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... One method that could be used to expand on her research could be to try the stereotaxic apparatus. A lesion within the occipital lobe could be created with this method on several different types of mammals. This would be highly important to test. The experiment had only been tested on a pigeon. The brain of the pigeon has a different structure than the brain of other mammals. In order to make a fair conclusion, more mammals with different brain structures should be considered. This method would also allow for more testing control within the specific brain region, leading me to believe that the results would be more accurate due to the mapping of the stereotaxic atlas. Another testing method to consider could be the use of a scanning electron microscope. This microscope would create a highly detailed three dimensional image of the brain. Allowing for the investigator to perceive more accurate result depictions through the changing results of the images within different mammal brain structures. First, the investigator could take an image of the brain with the microscope before the lesion was created, and then proceed to take a picture after the lesion was created. The occipital lobe could be examined more in depth through fine ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 15. Brain Damage In Brecken Hancock's Winter Frontal Lobe In Brecken Hancock's poem "Winter, Frontal Lobe" the central theme addresses the loss of a mother figure in the life of a child and the loss of a wife fo the speaker's father. The speaker's mother, in this poem, seems to suffer from brain damage, specifically to the frontal lobe (as stated in the title). Throughout this poem, Hancock seems to compare the mother's condition to winter. Both winter and brain damage are cold, isolated, and may result in a whiteout or blizzard which may signify the mother's confusion, mood, or behaviour due to her damage to the frontal lobe. Hancock supports this theme through the somber tone of this poem: a tone that is dark, serious, and gloomy.

The shortness of the lines in this poem may reflect upon the main theme of brain damage, which can cause a change in behaviours such as initiation, inhibition, or increased irritability. Therefore, the poem is short to make us read it fast and show how the emotional behaviour of the speaker's mother may feel or how the speaker himself feels towards his mother's condition. The lines in Hancock's poem are also short due to an abundance of enjambment which is used to focus our attention on what comes after the first line. In the following quote: "His axe can't cleave/ this confusion" (22–23), we have enjambment which creates something serious and unexpected. By stopping at the word "cleave" we might imagine something splitting in half such as wood.

Each of these parts or lobes have different functions that range from reasoning to auditory perception and make that particular person so unique. Some people have stronger and well more developed lobes in which is why not everyone is the same and could mean one section is inferior to the rest. To begin with, the frontal lob, which is located in the front of the human head, is associated with reasoning, higher level cognition, language, and motor skills. Behind the frontal lobe lies the motor cortex in which is the part where the brain receives an ample amount of information. The information that was mentioned are from various lobes of the brain and helps the body with movements. Another section of the brain, located in the middle is called the parietal lobe. This lobe, is in charge of processing tactile sensory information. Touch, pain, and pressure are essential to a persons everyday life and without it could lead to naturalistic numbness. A portion of the brain, known as the somatosensory cortex, is located in this major lobe and helps to the stages of processing body senses.

Within the two hemispheres are four lobes: the occipital lobes, pariental lobes, temporal lobes, and frontal lobes. The occipital lobes are responsible for visual processing including shapes, color, and motion. The pariental lobes, located in front of the occipital lobes, are involved in touch sensatino and monitoring the body's position. Located below the pariental lobes are the temporal lobes, which are involved with hearing and language. In the very front of the brain, behind the forehead, the frontal lobes are found. The frontal lobes are responsible for the coordination of movement and higher mental process such as planning, social skills, ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 37. Frontal Lobe Functions The brain has many parts such as the frontal lobe and the cerebellum, which both play major roles in the Human Brain.My first topic is the parts of the brain and all what it controls,in this topic we will cover the frontal and temporal lobes.We will be covering the cerebellum and its parts inside too.We will talk about how the brain sends nerves from the frontal lobe to your eyes to cry or how your temporal lobes send nerves to your nose to smell. Your frontal lobe is in the front part of your brain and controls most of your personality.The frontal lobe controls some of your voluntary movement.The frontal lobe does allot for instance when you are searching for a word your frontal lobe is the lobe that does everything to put that word out to your vocals to produce that word.Inside the frontal lobe is the primary motor cortex which is the cortex which movement occurs,the motor cortex is what sends nerves to your spinal cord which moves your muscles to move your legs or arms.Damage is crucial to this part of the brain mostly because,it's the most important lobe in the brain,if the frontal lobe was damaged you could lose so many things,for example you could lose your hope or trust which are some crucial things needed in life.Without the frontal lobe the personality of each ...

  • 38. Does Your Brain: How Does The Brain Work? "I not only use the brains that I have, but all that I can borrow.", Woodrow Wilson had once said. Although we cannot borrow other people's brains, our own brains can do many things. The brain is the very thing that helps people survive. Do you ever recall telling your heart to keep beating? I don't remember doing that before. It is your brain that does that for you. "Your brain is the boss of you." (Your Brain andNervous System). How does the brain work? "The brain has many parts that work together." (Your Brain and Nervous System). The main part of the brain, the cerebrum is the biggest part of the brain. When you imagine the brain, a person would imagine a tangle of pink wires. That is only the cerebrum. It takes up 85% of the brain's weight ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 39. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Analysis The parietal lobe is located near the center of the brain. It is behind the frontal lobe, in front of the occipital lobe, and above the temporal lobe.(Parietal lobe. (n.d.). Retrieved January 05, 2017, from http://www.healthline.com/human–body–maps/parietal–lobe) It contains an area known as primary sensory. It assists in processing visual images and impulses from the skin. Over the human's lifetime the brain shrinks so therefore the parietal lobe shrinks.(Peters, R. (2006, February). Ageing and the brain. Retrieved January 05, 2017,from https:/ /www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2596698/) There are many different methods used to capture information on brain structures and functions. The three most commonly used measures are functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) which detects changes in blood flow associated with neural activity. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) captures magnetic fields generated by neural activity. Electroencephalography (EEG) which is used to measure electricity in the brain generated by neuron firing. Out of these three methods EEG is the most versatile and cost efficient solution.(Top 3 Devices for Monitoring and Measuring Brain Activity. (2016, December 07). Retrieved January 05, 2017, from ...

Damage to the right parietal lobe can damage self–care skills such as dressing and washing. It can also cause difficulty in the construction of things. Damage to both sides can cause Balint's Syndrome which is a visual attention and motor syndrome. This is being the inability to voluntarily control gazing, it may also cause the inability reach for an object. (Parietal Lobes. (n.d.). Retrieved January 05, 2017, from ...

  • 40. The Brain Is The Most Important Components Of The Human Brain The brain is the greatest, the most fascinating and the most complex organ of the human been. According to Dr. Wolfe, the human brain weighs about three pound. Humans do not feel its weight because it is full of fluids and it is floating. The human brain consumes ten times more oxygen of all the humans' body parts and 25% of the total energy produced by the body. It is not the largest part of the humans' body, but it is one of the most important parts. Through the years educators were like doctors giving certain treatment to their patients without being sure what the disease was. If the first treatment given did not work they gave another treatment and so on. Nowadays technology has help to study how animals and humans brain works. It also has helped to discover how and where information is manipulated within the brain during the learning process. To discover how the brain works, the brain was divided in many parts. According to the book, the brain structures are cerebellum, brain stem, temporal lobe, broca's area, frontal lobe, motor cortex, sensory cortex, parietal lobe, wernicke's area, occipital lobe, hypothalamus and pituitary gland (Bohlin, Durwin, & Reese–Weber, 2012). The major lobes of the brain are frontal, occipital, parental and temporal and each of them has different functions during the learning process. Frontal lobe is responsible for higher standard thinking. According to the book, during the learning process, frontal lobe controls attention, creative ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
