and processed in the cerebral cortex. The tissue are divided into the left and right sides which are joined together by the corpus callosum. The cerebral cortex is divided into four lobes, the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobe. Each area carrying its own set of functions and responsibilities. These four lobes together make up the primary somatosensory area of the brain which controls the five sensory systems in the brain taste, olfaction, touch, hearing and vision. These systems receive

There are four different lobes of the brain Frontal Lobe,Parietal Lobe, Temporal Lobe and Occipital lobe. The frontal lobe is performing the executive function that coordinates other brain areas and the parietal lobe processes auditory information and integrates vision and touch. In addition the temporal lobe process auditory information language and autobiographical memory whereas the occipital lobe process the visual information. Lobes differ from hemispheres because lobes smaller parts of the brain

functions in one day, the cerebral cortex has to divide those function between its four lobes. The four lobes are called the frontal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, and parietal lobe. The frontal lobe gets its name by its location. The frontal lobe is located in frontal area of the cortex. The frontal lobe is responsible for mental processes such as thinking, decision making and planning. The frontal lobe is the most important in my opinion because everything we do requires us to think, even

The Magnocellular pathway carries information from the M ganglion cells at rapid speed along the dorsal stream to the parietal lobe to help us understand motion, spatial relationships and contrast. The Parvocellular pathway carries information from the P ganglion cells at slower speed along the ventral stream to the temporal lobe to help us process fine details of such as color and form of an object. It is thought that the Parvocellular pathway is our primary source for recognition

makeup her right side. She completely neglects her left side of her body and external world. This condition is a common neurological syndrome called hemi-neglect seen in post right brain stroke patients like Ellen, especially affecting the right parietal lobe. These patients often manifest sets of odd behaviors. They report not seeing anything on their left side, but are not blind and can receive visual input from both eyes. Sometimes they even notice things in their neglected side when their attention

years first in trying to prove that the quantum theory had inconsistencies in it. No one could have been more ingenious in thinking up unexpected and clever examples; but it turned out that the inconsistencies were not there; and often their resolution could be found in earlier work of Einstein himself. When that did not work, after repeated efforts, Einstein had simply to say that he did not like the theory. He did not like the elements of indeterminacy. He did not like the abandonment of continuity

attention” in order to store information while focusing on one task at a time, like driving. c. One study showed a 37% reduction of the brain’s activity in the parietal lobe that processes cognitive, memory, information regarding the driving task, sense of direction and “spatial sense” as well as the occipital lobe that processes the visual information (Aker, 2011). C. The third way, texting affects driving is through our visual field. a. Our vision is one of

Hemineglect also known as unilateral spatial neglect, hemispatial neglect, hemi-inattention, hemisensory, parietal neglect or spatial neglect (Kerkhoff, 2000), is a condition in which patients are unable to attend and respond to the contralesional side of space (Dijkerman, Webling, ter Wal, Groet, & van Zandvoort, 2003). Hemineglect is characterized by the lack of spatial awareness, most commonly on the left hemispace (Parton & Malhotra & Husain, 2004). The most common form of hemineglect, is that

Tying Neurological Research to Readings Jose Massana Florida International University Tying Neurological Research to Readings In Oliver Sacks’ The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, he denotes a “deficit is an impairment or incapacity of neurological function; such as loss of speech, loss of language, loss of memory, loss of vision loss of dexterity, or loss of identity” (Sacks, 1985). The specific neurological disorder that is highlighted in chapter one is Visual Agnosia, which is a deficit associated

characterized by a patient’s inability to recognize or acknowledge the opposite, or contralateral, side of the their body and their world. Unilateral neglect most commonly occurs after someone has suffered a stroke, most commonly in the right parietal lobe,
