    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

    Abused and neglected children have poorly integrated cerebral hemispheres. This poor integration of hemispheres and underdevelopment of the orbitofrontal cortex is the basis for such symptoms as difficulty regulating emotion, lack of cause-effect thinking, inability to accurately recognize emotions in others, inability of the child

    History of Cerebral Palsy Cerebral palsy (CP) is a term that encompasses a group of non-progressive syndromes of posture and motor problems next to lesions in the brain from early development (Appleton & Gupta, 2001). This disorder is caused by disturbances to the fetal or infant central nervous system (Jones, Morgan, Shelton, & Thorogood, 2007). There are two types of cerebral palsy, spastic and non spastic (Jones, Morgan, Shelton, & Thorogood, 2007). CP has a variety of signs and symptoms that

    1.An extensive network of specialized cells that carry information to and from all parts of the body is called the nervous system. 2.The basic cell that makes up the nervous system and which receives and sends messages within that system is called a neuron. 3.The long tube-like structure that carries the neural message to other cells on the neuron is the axon. 4.On a neuron, the branch-like structures that receive messages from other neurons are the dendrites. 5. The cell body of the neuron, responsible

    Vigen Karchyan Neuroscience Neuroscience, commonly referred to as Neural Science, is the study of the way the nervous system develops, how it is structured and the functions of it. Scientists put emphasis on the brain and the impact it has on behavior and cognitive functions. These scientists approach a closer look on the reactions the nervous system has when humans have neurological, psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. The entire concept of neuroscience is addressed as a subdivision

    dolphins, and porpoises, are one of the largest relative brain sizes among extant mammals, characterized by having different structure and diverse neuronal morphology, which exhibit isometric scaling of cerebral matter with increasing brain size; this is a fact that violates the evolutionarily conserved cerebral scaling law. The Delphinoid brain size evolution may be driven by the adaptation to an obligatory aquatic existence that supports the presence of a collection of high developed sensory, cognitive

The cerebrum in divided by the cerebral fissure, which separates it into two hemispheres, the left and right which is being further discussed by a fellow classmate. The two hemispheres are connected by the corpus callosum. Both hemispheres can also be divided into four lobes which we know as the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occiptal lobes. The frontal lobe helps aids us with reasoning
