Scanner to Sound Bite: Issues in Interpreting and Reporting Sex Differences in the Brain, the author examines four scientific issues that are overlooked about sex differences in the brain. She concludes that there are numerous misinterpretations of neuroimaging research that ultimately influence gender biases, and society should be cautious when reading these articles about sex differences. Fine dissects the greater male lateralization (GML) hypothesis that males “are more strongly left hemisphere dominant

But when a person al sees a new stimulus, like a strange face or object, there is a significant decrease in the network activity. The details of the study, including multiple neuroimaging studies and methods to demonstrate the existence of the recently identified brain network are available in the September issue of Trends in Cognitive Sciences The Authors of the study call this new network Parietal Memory Network (PMN) and for

Neuroimaging technology Madeline Johnson 242015 ECH 2025 001 As time has advanced so has technology; the world has watches that along with telling what time it is the watch also tells us who is calling us and how we slept at night. Along with so many other amazing inventions for our daily life there have been miraculous milestones with our neuroimaging inventions; scans range from being able to tell us where our brain is functioning during a task to allowing us to catch diseases such as cancer

aggression in sex offenders and criminal offenders has been investigated by neuroimaging techniques, neurochemicals, and neuropsychological indices. It was discovered that neuropathology was criminals were aggressive. Dysfunctions of the limbic system can cause aggression and sexual in sex offenders. In the past, researchers discovered a link between neurologic and sex offenders. The researchers used a method called neuroimaging techniques to collect data. During the case study, Mills and Raine discovered

For example, fMRI scans have been used to measure inhibitory control among those with autism (Kana, Keller, Minshew & Just, 2007; Agnostou, Sorrya, Fan, Stamper,& Hollander, 2006). Neuroimaging research has also been used among populations where inhibitory control has been found to be impaired. For example, neuroimaging research was used to measure inhibitory control among those with ADHD (Castellanos & Tannock, 2002; Swansonet al., 2007).There have been many populations where inhibitory control

where the line of appropriateness is drawn in certain social circles. Neuroscientists from Weill Medical College of Cornell University explored the brain to understand how profanity reverberates inside the complex wiring of humans minds using the neuroimaging technique PET (positron emission tomography) scans. By 1999, they found the amygdala, which is responsible for processing emotion and memory, was highly active when exposed to profanity, But because the amygdala is also connected to the memory

circuitries involved, specifically the the basal ganglia. Furthermore, the meta-analysis discussed neuroimaging, lesion, pharmacological, and genetic studies on the neural circuitries connected to persistent developmental stuttering and acquired neurogenic stuttering. 2. The key questions that the authors are addressing are a.) How can we determine the etiology of stuttering through neuroimaging, lesion, pharmacological, and genetic studies? b.) What is the role of cortical brain regions (i.e

Over half of the world is able to speak another language other than their mother tongue. Studies have shown that learning a new language enhances our cognitive functions. The connection amongst bilingualism and insight is instructive about the association amongst dialect and psyche. From the point of view of dialect, the inquiry is the manner by which bilingualism may help or obstruct comprehension – barely translated here as official capacity. From the point of view of higher perception, the inquiry

The Age of Concussions Athletes in the 21st century are pushing themselves and their teammates to their limit, to try and be the best they can. Whether that is in a game situation, weight room, or practicing on the field, pool, or gym, accidents happen and can happen anywhere. It doesn’t matter if you are a guy or a girl, this accident happens to many athletes in a variety of sports. This sports injury is a concussion and it truly does affect any kind of athlete in any kind of sport. Concussions

they commonly arise in the region of the foramen of Monro, where they can cause obstructive hydrocephalus and sudden death. Methods Surgical resection has been, and presently remains, the standard treatment for SEGAs demonstrating serial growth on neuroimaging in the setting of symptomatic hydrocephalus or progressive ventriculomegaly. Discussion Surgery can be curative; however, not all SEGAs are amenable to safe and complete resection. Gamma Knife stereotactic radiosurgery provides another treatment
