    coordination of laryngeal, respiratory, and orofacial muscles (Simonyan & Horwitz, 2011), and once the brain has the framework and layout for what it wants to produce vocally, it can begin to implement its plan. In order to do this, it must leave the cerebrum and begin its journey down the spinal cord, the secondary part of the central nervous system. The journey begins in the motor cortices. Once the signal has been organized, it leaves Broca’s area and makes its way towards the motor cortices in the

    Examining the influence of brain damage on object location memory (OLM) may reveal the importance of impacted regions of the brain and in turn identify specific interventions needed. Multiple models have been developed to understand the complex nature of memory. These models include: the multi-store, working memory and object-location (Lawton, 2011).Object-location is the ability to remember the position of items in our environment (Shih, Meadmore & Liversedge, 2012); it is made of up of three distinct

    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

    whole.” “The brain through the ages has been declared to have a life of its own as it shapes the functions of our bodies.” “The brain integrates sensory information and directs motor responses” that allow us to perform various actions.” The cerebrum, which controls thought and action, is the biggest part of the human brain. It is also very wrinkled and this feature is noted for the potential increased size of the brain and the number of neurons that help bring the brain’s commands back and forth

    Did you know your brain is roughly 75% water, but only accounts for about 2% of your total weight? Located in the head, the brain is the main organ of the central nervous system. The brain is used to regulate everyday life. Its three primary functions are to produce behavior, to create a sensory reality, and to create knowledge that separates different times and sensory domains used to guide behavior. It must have systems to create the sensory world, systems to produce behavior, and systems to integrate

    The brain of many species of Cetacean, including whales, 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 lobes of the brain, and what do the left and right hemispheres do? There are many ways how the brain works. The main way is the brain collects data from sensory organs and nerve cells, but that’s not all. The main structure of the brain is the cerebrum. There are two parts: the left hemisphere and the right hemisphere. Two structures called the thalamus and the hypothalamus deal with pain, hormones, and sleep. The hormones controls simple emotions. And the farthest structure from the center of

    Structure of the brain The brain is made up of 4 main parts and they are: ● the cerebral cortex, ● limbic system, ● the cerebellum ● and the brain stem The cerebral cortex The cerebral cortex is split into two cerebral hemispheres (the left and right hemispheres). Sometimes the right hemisphere is related to creativity and the left hemisphere is related to logic abilities. It is divided into four sections called lobes, the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and temporal lobe. This is the
