Autism is a behavioral syndrome usually presenting behavior abnormalities before the child is 30 months of age. These behavioral abnormalities include marked social deficits, specific language abnormalities and stereotyped, repetitive behaviors (Piven, 1990). Although the exact etiology of autism is not known it is now believed that it is a dysfunction of one or more unidentified brain systems and not the result of parental and environmental influences. Variations in symptomology and in prognosis

Case study of a rabid dog: vaccine failure and owner’s ignorance Summary: Rabies is a severe but preventable anthropozoonosis of developing countries. Wandering and unvaccinated dogs are the primary source of rabies particularly, in low-income countries. The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the public health risks for pet owners. Despite pre-exposure vaccination, rabies virus was diagnosed in dog brain using histopathology and immunohistochemistry. Negligence in prophylactic measures

network but a set of independent structures that could have the potential of being modified and created new pathways. This shows the property of brain plasticity. (DeFelipe and Ramon y Cajal pg 31) Ramon y Cajal’s initial work was on the layers of the cerebellum of humans and other higher mammals. He later focussed his work on the visual cortex and even recorded his personal observations of the aging visual and auditory systems and muscle debilitation in a more literary non scientific way. His most important

The Age of Insight covers a wide range of topics but mostly focuses on the functions of the brain and how the brain perceives art. Both the functions and perception of art by the brain can be correlated to emotions which are the basis of all actions and thoughts, being studied by scientists, philosophers, and neurologists throughout the decades. Most people take understanding and perceiving emotions for granted, but what if we could not recognize the emotions and feelings of others, much less ourselves

Psych Chapter Dos Is our identity in the heart? In the brain? In the whole body? Biological Psychologists explore the associations between body, mind, and behavior. Cell Body- The cell’s life- support center Dendrites- Receive messages from other cells Axon- passes messages away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands Neutral Impulse- (actin potential) electrical signal traveling down the axon Myelin Sheath- covers the axon of some neurons and helps speed neutral impulses Terminal

is caused by damage to the cerebellum, the area in your brain that contains a great deal of neurons. In fact, it contains almost half of the neurons in the entire brain, damage here is known to cause this type of movement. This damage in the cerebellum is called spino-cerebellar ataxia, or just ataxia. The movement is specifically stiff legs, wide stances, and lumbering walking. This is a rare disease, however, if a virus’s main instruction is to attack the cerebellum then it is likely it will no

“The Accidental Mind”, by David J Linden, adequately covers the broad subject of human brain evolution by covering the intriguing concepts of love, memory, dreams, and religion. To make the non-fiction accessible to enthused readers, rather than advanced scientists, Linden separates the chapters by topic and evenly distributes his information by applying context to real world situations. His immense knowledge and research conducted shows through, with thorough explanations of some theories and concepts

Autism: A Disorder of Conflicting Causes and Treatments Despite its 50 year-old diagnosis, autism is still one of the mostly commonly contracted and rarely treated childhood diseases. Studies suggest that as many as 1 in 500 children may display autistic symptoms. Manifestations of this disability include the stereotypical physical contortions and hand-flapping motions commonly associated with autism, as well as inability to relate to the outside world, limited social skills, lack of concentration

As American computer scientist, Emerson Pugh, once said, “If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn’t”. Over the course of sixteen weeks we, the fall of 2017-2018 Psychology 101 class, were able to look in depth into some topics, and only begin to skim the surface on others. Although I may have reached the end of the semester college course, I have not reached the end in wanting to learn more about the topics we were able to explore during

Animation has been revolving for over a few decades but the first ever 3-dimension (3D) animation was founded in 1980s. 3D animations involve the use of 3D models and moving images that are produced in a 3D digital environment. The 3D model is a mathematical representation of a three dimensional object. The process of animating a 3D model is considered to be complex as it has its own software to develop the models. The skills of the designer will determine the quality of the model and animation.
