The Body The Vestibular System

It also targets specific skills, which means when the teacher is clearly aware of the targeted behaviour and the objectives of the strategy, which makes it easier for teachers to assess and adapt the strategy. The other advantage is that the child does experience confusion in understanding the aim of the lesson and the behaviour that is expected of them. DI not only teaches the child new skills but also provides the child with several opportunities to review and practice these skills in different settings. Mitchell (2014) says the plasticity of the developing brain allows children to learn new things when the child reviews and practices these newly learnt skills and over a period of time gain confidence in using it. The brain makes new connections to the surviving structure and strengthens the connections. This is especially important as children in their early years are in their prime to learn specific emotional skills, which will impact their behavioural skills. Having positive experiences and opportunities to practice these skills strengthens the experience and enhances the

In the nervous system there are two main parts that it can be broken down into. The central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS controls the brain and spinal cord. The PNS’s main job is to connect the CNS to the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body e.g. the organs so that they can communicate/ relay information to each other. How does this work?

First, Carr supports his argument by citing professional psychologists, and even uses a study done by universities to prove his point. Carr references leading psychologist Patricia Greenfield and neuroscientist Michael Merzenich to explain

The nervous system is made up of 2 main parts - the spinal cord and the brain. These two parts combine to make the central nervous system and the sensory and motor nerves which form the peripheral nervous system. Neurons process information in the form of electrical signals, namely nerve impulses, which travel along the axon. Charged ions are not able to enter plasma membranes which make neurons have a difference in ion concentration between the inside and the outside of a neuron. This prevents the passive diffusion of Potassium and Sodium ions from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. Proteins which act as ion channels and ion pumps are attached to plasma membranes. This allows the ions to be transported across

-Sit-to-stand activity: using balance bar and shapes to increase attention span, concentration, and eye-hand coordination.

The Ear, the Eye and the Arm is a science fiction book by Nancy Farmer. It is about three children that are the children of General Matsika, he is the chief of security. He has made many enemies that could take revenge on his children. The children's names are Tendai, Rita, and Kuda. They children have never left the house and gone into the city alone. They are part of an troop and Tendai the oldest of the children needs to get a badge that involves exploring and they can’t get the badge at home. They go out exploring and find themselves in deep trouble. The parents hiring the detectives Ear, Eye and Arm. They do an ok job but really I just wanted to yell at them because when Eye heard the the children Arm yelled at him to go do something else.

Vestibular Schwannoma, or Auditory (Acoustic) Neuroma, is a slow growing benign tumor that arises from the vestibular branch of the vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII). Tumor growth is due to the an uncontrolled and over-production of Schwann Cells. Vestibular Schwannoma is very rare (usually one in 100,000 per year) and mostly affects people between ages 30 to 60 years old. Common symptoms of Vestibular Schwannoma include hearing loss, unilateral tinnitus (ringing in the ears), or balance problems (or even vertigo). Vestibular Schwannoma is noncancerous and a noninvasive tumor, but it could become life threatening if it grows larger due to its close proximity of the brain stem and the cerebellum. Facial weakness or paralysis and recurring headaches are symptoms of large tumor growth in the vestibular nerve.

The vestibular and cochlear portions of the vestibulocochlear nerve are functionally discrete, and so originate from different nuclei in the brain:

The purpose of this experiment was to study the anatomy of human reflexes, specifically to compare monosynaptic reflexes to polysynaptic reflexes. The monosynaptic reflex in this experiment is the myotactic, or Hoffman, reflex that will be seen by simulating the tibial nerve and the polysynaptic reflex is the vestibulo-ocular reflex that will be seen by spinning the subject in a spin chair.

Early man/woman developed neural connections in an environment of intense physical activity which created pathways of learning in the cerebellum that were profoundly influenced by movement. The cerebellum also plays a significant role in cognitive functions of the frontal lobe that are stimulated while learning. Movement impacts and reinforces learning, reading, and comprehension due to the creation and strengthening of the neural connections in the cerebellum. Incorporating physical exercise and movement in a curriculum increases levels of student participation and retention while providing opportunities to scaffold while

I was amazed to learn of the correlation between regular physical movement and brain development in young children. What programs exist that would aid in my bringing movement - and by extension, greater brain development - to my students? What are the latest research findings on physical education's impact on other areas of learning? What is the physiology involved?

This is a currently expanding area of psychology, biology and philosophy so I don't think all of the best evidence is in yet - give it 50 years and we should know more.

Even though the brain is the major control center if the body, its job would not be possible without the spinal cord. The spinal cord is the major organ that helps information travel between the body and the brain. Nerves branch in the peripheral system from, either the brain stem or spinal cord, each nerve attaches to a specific area of the torso and limbs it 's responsible for communication to and from those regions. There are three very important
