sex, drug abuse, and unhealthy lifestyles because of the natural sequence of our brain development. Myelination and maturation of the neurons in the brain work from the back of the brain towards the front. This is important because the prefrontal cortex is located at the front of the brain and is responsible for problem solving, processing complex thoughts, a decision making. The limbic system is at the base of the brain and is responsible for emotions such as fear and anxiety. Therefore, the limbic
The brain has four main structures; the Cerebrum, Cerebellum, Limbic System, and the Brain Stem. The Cerebrum, also known as the Cerebral Cortex, is the largest part of the human brain. It is divided into four parts that are called “lobes”: there 's the frontal lobe which is linked with reasoning, planning, parts of speech, emotions, and problem solving- the parietal lobe which is linked to movement, orientation, and recognitions- the occipital lobe which is linked to visual processing like object
resolutions that the human brain achieves when interpreting sound, unknown scientific truths and developments of society can be exposed through various examinations of auditory data in conjunction with traditional visual data. Following an advanced series of steps, the brain transforms sound waves into interpretable information. Once the sound wave has passed the eardrum and reaches the inner ear, the behavior of the wave is converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. The spiral-shaped
Brain trauma occurs when an external force causes injury to the brain. It’s classified in a variety of different classes based on the severity of the injury, mechanisms: closed or penetrating head injury, and location of injury. However, in many cases of brain trauma the damage is traumatic, affecting the brain, physical capabilities, mental fortitude, personality, and behavior. In addition to the impairment of abilities and behavior after the trauma, the journey to recovery is long and hard. F.K
Rehabilitation. Brain injury is a general term referring to any injury to the brain. Brain injury is stimulated by a number of factors such as bike and a car accident, assault, as fall, or a blow to the head, but these example of brain injuries which occur in nature. They are types of brain injuries such as, the brain injury that occur after birth, the traumatic brain injury (TBI) which is caused by an object such as stabbing or gun shots entering the brain causing widespread damage (Brain Injury Support(BIS)
talk about medication and the different side effects, it makes you wonder why someone would risk their own health just for a medication. Although the drug I will be researching shows limited side effects and is something that many physician would recommend to their own patients. My reasons for choosing Prozac, is to learn more about the drug and how it helps individuals whom have depression. Another reasons for this, is to learn more about the side effects and how it can be a positive outlook for someone
The human brain is said to be a very special and important organ in the human body, but what happens to it when it comes in contact with music. There are many studies on what music can do to the brain. There are negative and positive affects of music on the brain. The positive effects of music on the brain are numerous and expansive, with a heavy emphasis on focused concentration. Usually people can interpret faces based on how they feel, but with the help of music humans can see neutral faces differently
Introduction: A concussion is a mild form of traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a sudden or violent blow, bump, or jolt to the head. Concussions can also occur from a fall or a blow to the body that causes the head to move rapidly back and forth. These types of sudden or violent impacts make the brain accelerate inside of the skull, in movements called coups and contrecoups. These movements lead to the brain striking the front and back of the skull, damaging the delicate and vital organ. The
contains many chemicals which affect the brain. The three primary chemicals are caffeine, theobromine, and tryptophan. 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine or caffeine (C8H10N4O2) is a stimulant that is near and dear to us all. It is the chemical that gives us a boost after consuming our morning coffee or drinking a soda. It excites our central nervous system which increases heart rate and contracts muscles. Caffeine affects dopamine and adenosine receptors in the brain which release pleasure producing chemicals
Watkins Group topic: Effects of Drugs on the Brain ***** Last Group ***** In today’s session, group members received education on how alcohol and drug abuse affects the brain chemistry. Group members learned how different categories of substances and how they act in the mind and body. PO was on time and moderately participated in the group activity. PO engaged in the group discussion, and shared personal experience and insights related to the topic appropriately and honestly. PO completed the
