Harmful Effects of Stress, Threats, and Traumas on the Developing Brain Brain development may be one of the most important things that happen in a child’s first few years of life. The experiences and environments children grow up in dictate how and how much child’s brain will develop. Stress, threats, and traumas have very negative affects during the vital stages of brain development and need to be reduced or stopped all together. • The threat of child abuse is very real, and children who are brought

Its a mystery how the human brain reacts and gives our senses what it needs to respond in an everyday life circumstance. If you look at how a human is made, from one single cell, and then is slowly multiplied into something that creates habits and learns skills, retaining the little things to build to the bigger things; it is incredible how everything lines up to make up the different memory sensor’s in our brain to make sense of the world. In life we never know what is going to happen and the fact

The researchers also found that people who are regularly multitask cannot pay attention and recall information compared to those you don’t. Multitasking reduces your efficiency and performance because your brain can only focus on one thing at a time. When you try to do two things at once, your brain lacks the capacity to perform both tasks successfully. Research also shows that, in addition to slowing you down, multitasking lowers your IQ. A study at the University of London found that participants

The relationship between music and the brain has always intrigued me; why dose listening to music help ease certain task, things we do everyday like driving, leaning, relaxing or working out. I will analyze music and the effect on the brain, from health to physical and mental training. Music has been around sense the beginning of humans, evolving through by culture and time.

“Cosmetic Neurology: Tinkering with the Brain” is an article by Carole Wade and Carol Tavris about the pros and cons of using drugs to alter the mind. Adderall like all other amphetamines has been said to cause nervousness, headaches, sleeplessness, allergic rashes, and loss of appetite. The drug Adderall is labeled as having “a high potential for abuse”.

his toes or bend his hips and knees to move away. At 12 weeks he can close his fingers and thumb and he will open his mouth in response to pressure applied at the base of his thumb. The development of the brain begins in the first few weeks after conception. Most of the physical features of the brain appear during the embryonic period (about the first 8 weeks after fertilization); these structures then stay to grow and develop during the fetal period (the rest of conception. The types of emotions that

In David Eagleman’s article “The Brain on Trail,” Eagleman (2011), a neuroscientist, writes about the massive developments that scientists have discovered about the brain and how our current justice system contradicts these findings. Eagleman’s main claim is that human behavior and human biology will always coincide with one another, which is why there should be personalized prison sentences, upgrades on rehabilitation programs, and introduce long-term catalysts for better performance. Eagleman

experiment. When it is used as a social experiment or a toy how does it affect the brain? What part of the brain does alcohol affect? What other parts in the body does alcohol affect? There are many questions about alcohol and the paragraphs below can answer some of those questions. Alcohol is very damaging when taken, it can effect the processes of the brain and all of its neurotransmitters around it. When taking alcohol the brain loses its key things needed to get around daily life. Things like memory loss

Neurons, Hormones, and the Brain The Nervous System: A Basic Blueprint The Central Nervous System Central Nervous System The par of the nervous system consisting of the brain and the spinal cord interprets information about the senses ex: Touch, Taste, Sound, Smell. Spinal Cord A collection of neurons and supportive tissue running from the base of the brain down the center of the back, protected by a column of bones (the spinal column) acts as a bridge between the brain and the rest of the body spinal
