The year is 2021. I haven’t been outside my house or made contact wth another person in 13 days since my older sister Zy'YAH died. My sister was my roommate, only remaining relative, and my best friend. Both of my parents died in a car crash when I was thirteen and Zy'YAH was sixteen. One day they were alive and well, and the next they were just gone. After their death, Zy'YAH assumed the parent role. Everything I had to live for was gone. My house no longer feels like home. I hadn’t gone grocery

Lesion Studies are the study of the effects and relationship between physiological and psychological processes within certain areas of the brain and central nervous system which have been damaged or rendered none-operational due to some form of accidental damage or because of experimentation. Therefore a Lesion is an area of brain tissue that has been damaged by an accident, disease or infection, or placed in a state of none-function by an experimental trial. Within Biological Psychology they are

Lin, J.Y., Magne Knutsen, P., Muller, A., Kleinfeld, D., Tsien, R.Y. (2013) ReaChR: a red-shifted variant of channelrhodopsin enables deep transcranial optogenetic excitation. Nature neuroscience, 16 (10), 1499-1507. This paper focusing on a res-shifted variant of Channelrhodopsin shows that using red light can improve transcranial excitation because of the properties of red light. Red light is less scattered by tissue and is absorbed less by blood than previously used wavelengths. This development

a shift from supporting internal drug discovery efforts in favor of academic and government partnerships (Schoepp, 2011). At Scripps Florida we have close interaction of state of the art high throughput small molecule screening and cutting-edge neuroscience research. Thus we are in a unique position to address the challenges in developing CNS therapeutics. (2) Mitochondrial dysfunction is part of the pathophysiology of

Within the skull lies the most complex organ known to mankind -- the human brain. With a mass of only 6 kilograms, the brain contains over 100 billion living cells and 1 million kilometers of interconnecting fibers; but, exactly how does it function? Marketing and sales managers would love to know why consumers are attracted to certain advertising, packaging and brands. Martin Lindstrom, author of Buyology: Truth and Lies About Why We Buy, explains the marketing challenge, “When we walk down an aisle

Matilda Comenote Anita Newman English 24 Senior project November 30th, 2015 Title Psychology helps us understand the way humans think and how our brain functions, this may also include certain behaviors in any given situation. My research is based on the psychology of childhood social and emotional development, and adolescence. Like a lot of things in psychology and this world, this has led my research to prove their is a direct correlation between social and emotional development in children

The question of the self is one that appears throughout history and has been debated in myriad ways. Many people assert their claim as the correct one, though some are content to contemplate the self for the rest of their lives rather than remain at one conclusion. Humans are their own enigma, unable to understand the complexity of themselves. It is important to have some theory of consciousness in order to understand the actions of ourselves and others, therefore it is irresponsible to consider

Sean Mackey is a M.D, Ph.D, the current Chief of the Division of Pain Medicine, as well as a Redlich professor in several pain and brain related sciences at Stanford. Doctor Mackey leads the research at the Stanford Systems Neuroscience and Pain Laboratory focusing on the dissecting chronic pain and how it effects the nervous system. The SNAPL has also attempted to map out the brain and regions in the spinal cord that understand pain in order to treat these occurrences of chronic pain on a personal

Technology is taking over the world, turning people into modern day zombies. It is getting more and more advanced, and as this virus is growing every day, more and more people are getting infected. There are numerous social media sites that are considered the “virus” such as Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Facebook, and so on. This is what turns people into zombies. These websites may seem harmless, but can be very unhealthy for mental, physical, and social health. Social media can affect people’s

The Brain on Love All relationships change the brain — but the most important ones are the intimate bonds that cultivate or ruin us, that shape one’s memories, emotions and personality. Love carries multiple definitions but in one’s own words, love is a deep emotion of affection and attachment toward others. It’s been a significant theme for artists for thousands of years, being a source of inspiration for poetry, music, literature, paintings, and many other fine arts. Due to the biological and evolutionary
