values than of tilt position. The brain is one of the most important organs of the body that coordinates all the activities. It is divided into three major parts namely: Cerebrum, Cerebellum, brain stem and diencephalon. Cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. It covers the diencephalon and is divided into right and left hemisphere longitudinally. Each hemisphere is subdivided into brain lobes, named as: Frontal lobe, Parietal lobe, Temporal lobe and Occipital lobe. The effect of SAR majority

The nervous system and endocrine system work together to influence the behavior of humans. While the nervous system is a fast acting one, the endocrine system is a slow acting one that has a lasting effect. Growth Reproduction Metabolism Without the endocrine system there to help the nervous system maintain homeostasis none of the three things listed would be possible. The functions of the two systems together are quite amazing. Within the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the autonomic

Schizophrenia: A Diagnostic Perspective Schizophrenia is a psychological disease with an unknown treatment. Its onset starts in early adult hood on average. There are many studies showing links to genetics and environmental causes. In this paper I will discuss many of the signs and symptoms of schizophrenia along with how it is diagnosed, imaged with MRI, and the difficulty in treating this disease. More treatments for schizophrenia may be revealed with the further advancement of imaging technology

Memory makes us. It is, to an extent, a collection of unique and personal experiences that we, as individuals, have amassed over our lifetime. It is what connects us to our past and what shapes our present and the future. If we are unable remember the what, when, where, and who of our everyday lives, our level of functioning would be greatly impacted. Memory is defined as or recognized as the “sum or total of what we remember.” Memory provides us the ability to learn and adjust to or from prior

Anterograde amnesia, as described earlier, is an inability to form lasting memories after some disturbance to the brain, such as a brain injury or degenerative brain disease. The revelation of the H.M. case was the identification of the medial temporal lobes as memory consolidation and storage centers. Within the medial temporal lobes, the hippocampus has been identified specifically as a brain area involved in learning new information (Gluck, 2014). To put it another way, people with damage to the

fiber systems, together with the deeper-lying subcortical telencephalic nuclei (that is, basal nuclei [ganglia]).(Farlex Medical Dictionary) of the interior portions of the telecephalon , includes the basal ganglia which partially surrounds the diencephalon and it particiates in are motor activities which includes speech. The hippocampis and the amydaloid nucleus which lie very deep with in the lower part of our cortex, This plays a major role in the actions of our emotionsal expressions.(Rice University

meninges and by cerebrospinal fluid. The brain is divided into the cerebrum, diencephalon, brain stem and cerebellum. The largest portion of the brain is the cerebrum which is divided into two cerebral hemispheres. The two hemispheres are two separate entities. The diencephalon is centrally located and is nearly surrounded by the cerebral hemispheres. The thalamus, which makes up about 80% of the diencephalon, consists of two oval masses of grey matter that serve as relay stations for sensory

Histological /Anatomic levels In a macroscopic view of the nervous system, we can distinguish two morphological entities within its different parts, a first, grey (called grey matter), hosts mostly the somas, which qualifies it to play a role of processing centers, while the other is white (White matter) where we can find the axons of the somas covered by a myelin sheath (enhancing the membrane’s capacitance) who plays mostly the role of cables. Anatomically speaking, the nervous system is divided

Death is inevitable for living beings. While the concept of death has always been well understood by all of us, as technology and our understanding of medicine have increased, the specifics of death have been much more challenging to define. To help us understand what death is, we need to analyze death. An Analysis of Death, according to Bernat, allows us to determine what we mean by death. The analysis of death does not result in a definition, but merely a determination of what needs defined and

Hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal of HPA is known to many as the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is part of the diencephalon. It is the portion of the brain that controls activities of the skeletal muscle contractions, controls autonomic function, coordinates activities of the endocrine system as well as the neurological system and participates in the secretion of vasopressin and oxytocin. It is additionally important for producing sensations that facilitate various emotions and behaviors. It aids in
