Describe neuroscience and neuroplasticity. Explain the importance to the brain. Neuroplasticity alludes to the capacity of the mind to re-model and change with a specific end goal to have the capacity to adjust to new conditions. Neuroplasticity works in exceptionally intriguing routes, for example, we can be accustomed to doing a given kind of action ordinary or more often than not, and this makes us get acquainted with it and it gradually changes to end up distinctly our propensity. This procedure of adaption is the manner by which Neuroplasticity works in light of the fact that once we quit ...

The short video identified is Children See Children Do. The video captures children mimicking actions of the parents with regard to their action and language. In the video, a parent is captured shouting and the child follows suit and begins shouting too (KidScan). Most of the copied activities by children from adults are negative ranging from littering, aggression and smoking. On the contrary, the video also shows a man helping a troubled lady and the child also turns out to offer help as for how his father had done (KidScan). The video is aimed to make people aware that ...

The Corpus Callosum is the largest commissure, which facilitates communication between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. The views on the value of the Corpus Callosum are varied: from the most "useless" to those defining the higher cognitive functions of human brain structure. According to modern concept, the role of Corpus Callosum is not limited to the transfer of information. This commissure enables meta-control of the information in both hemispheres, as one of them must establish the function of its processing (Banich, 1995). Corpus Callosum not only transmits sensory information, ensuring its double representation in every hemisphere, ...

Introduction

A recent report of the International Longevity Center-UK (ILC-UK) indicated that dementia can no longer be viewed as an isolated disorder due to a high prevalence of medical comorbidities, often undiagnosed, associated with it (Scrutton & Brancati, 2016). Patients with dementia also had received a less coordinated comorbidity treatments, resulting to the faster decline of their daily functioning, a reduction in their quality of life (QOL), and earlier mortality events than patients with these comorbidities, but in the absence of dementia. The report also noted other important findings, which exacerbated the need for better therapeutic options in dealing with dementia, ...

Locus of Control Scale

The Instrument The Locus of Control Scale was originally designed by Rotter in 1966. It is used to determine on what people think affects specific outcomes of their actions and life in general. People with an internal focus of control believe that they are able t influence the outcome of their actions, whereas people with an external locus of control believe more in luck and fate rather than themselves (Lefcourt, 1982).

1. Biot’s respiration named after Camille Biot is an abnormal ataxic breathing pattern, where rapid series of shallow respiration are followed by a period of apnea. In order to known how AMP kinase, knock down leads to Biot respiration in mice; it is necessary to known how AMP kinase affects respiratory rate. AMP kinase is a metabolic sensor and is activated in response to stretching of the lung alveolar cells and other stressors. During respiration, the lung goes through cycles of expansion and contraction (Budinger et al., 2008). When the alveolar cells stretch during expansion, the 5′ AMP-activated ...

Mechanics function of the spine

The human body is meticulously designed with a complex and specialized skeletal system that helps not only provide support and structure for the body but enhances motion and stability. The spinal cord is the extension of the brain and it forms an essential part of the central nervous system. As people age the mechanics of the body are altered (NiosiOxland 2004). Degenerative processes are inevitable and as such, the facet joints, discs and vertebrae are affected.

Embodied cognition incorporates that the human cognition is comprised and shaped by various aspects of the body, which eventually indicates that it exceeds from the dependency on brain. In this manner, cognition is observed to be dependent on the experiences that an individual receives from numerous sensorimotor capabilities of the body. These capabilities are considered to be highly integrated in accordance with the psychological, biological and cultural setting of an individual (Wilson & Foglia 2011). Embodied cognition also accounts for the feedback mechanism that takes place between an individual and the world and hence, the prevalence of action ...

The brain is the most important organ in the human body since it is the one responsible for the interpretation of senses, intelligence, controlling behavior and movement. However, most of the neuroscientists have been unable to conclusively determining the relationship between the various parts of the brain and the outward behavior. For instance, many neurosurgeons have used studies on the preferred hand in the prediction of the dominant part of the cerebral hemisphere. According to Weiten and McCann (2013), cerebral hemispheres are identical in appearance. However, they differ significantly in terms of the structure and functions. The brain lateralization ...

A section of psychologists holds preposterous assertions of having first-hand evidence on extra-sensory perception, for instance, dreaming about something that actually happens later and foreseeing the future through mind reading (Plate & Joyce, 2013).The ideology of extra sensory perception was prompted by J. Rhine, a psychologist at the Duke University, by denoting physic abilities that include telepathy and clairvoyance. He elaborates the perception’s trans-temporal operation as being precognition or retrocognition in nature. However, most psychologists have refuted these claims asserting that the concept cannot be tested in the realm of science. Ingrained in a series of retrospective experiments ...

Introduction

Learning is a continuous process that does not end with age. As such, there occurs an impasse with regard to whether or not old people can learn new lessons. The question that should be asked is what kind of learning is open to the aged, after defining what comprises old age, middle age and youth, then research can be done in this regard. Therefore, learning can be viewed as comprising academic knowledge or the use of certain motor skills that had previously been lying dormant or in other words, had remained underdeveloped due to being unused. In this study, ...

Question 1

With older electromechanical controls, the operator used to typically be located physically in closer proximity to the process, and therefore had direct sensory perception of the status of the process (e.g., sound, vibration, light) (Leveson 2011). Under computerized and digitalized controls, the operator no longer has a sensory perception of the status, other than what is viewed on the computer. This requires whomever is designing the control system to determine what information is important to the controller, and that the information provided in the feedback loop between the process and what is reported on the screen is complete and ...

Vestibular Projections

Vestibular projections in the central nervous system consist of vestibular end organs which communicate with the brain stem and the cerebellum via the vestibular branch of the eighth cranial nerve. These nerves are also connected to the auditory fibers. Thus damage caused to these structures can cause both vestibular and auditory disturbances. The vital function of the vestibular system is to coordinate head and eye movements. The ability of the eye to stay focused on an object even while the head is moving is brought about by the vestibular system.

Vestibular Cochlear Nerve

The vestibulo cochlear nerve or the auditory nerve is ...

Developmental psychologists study how humans develop throughout their lives. Their studies often rely on differentiating between perception and sensation, as a human develops over the course of its life. It is important to understand how these two concepts are connected and what makes them different, in order to understand problems faced by developmental psychologists. These two facets of human existence seem integrated, yet are completely different from one another. This paper will attempt to define and distinguish between perception and sensation, discuss problems for study that these concepts present developmental psychologists, and discuss practical problems that the study of ...

(Author Name) (Course Name/Number) The human brain is simply fascinating, and although it is at the very core of all human reasoning, intellect, and ability, it is still largely unexplored and misunderstood. The physical and social sciences have collaboratively conducted hundreds, if not thousands, of studies aimed at understanding the connection between the brain and human behavior, but even more interesting are the physiological processes that are intertwined to create a roadmap of human behavior, response, and consciousness that drives our very existence. These physiological processes are comprised of nervous systems functions, sensory system functions, and brain functions, which ...

In the current paper, we will discuss the complications in removable implant prosthesis, fabrication, delivery, and function. For the purpose of understanding these topics better, we need to understand the basic concepts of dental implants first. A dental implant can be described as an artificial replacement of a tooth root which is placed in the jaw for the purpose of holding a replaced tooth or a bridge. Dental implants can be used as an option for the patients who had lost a tooth as a result of a periodontal disease, injury or any other reason. Two different types of ...

Introduction

David Eagleman’s (2015) book entitled The Brain details scientific discoveries about the way the human brain processes information. The book details the ways in which one’s sensory capabilities and sensory processing activities formulates the way in which one interprets the external environment. It is the combination of sensory capabilities and the processing of sensory input that is largely responsible for the “reality” that one experiences (Eagleman, 2015). The external environment or what humanity would collectively call “reality” is not necessarily what truly exists. Reality may in fact be more subjective or internal than previously thought. Therefore, one ...

Abstract

The worldview of a person is their view and understanding of their entire existence, including the world they live in. Religious beliefs reflectcolor a person’s worldview very strongly. In a comparative look, Christianity and Sikhism have some commonality as monotheistic approaches to the world, in the necessity for moral and ethical behavior that is good, in seeking truth, and in serving an all-knowing God Wwho imparts some of that knowledge to mankind. However, there are noticeable differences in beliefs about death and afterlife, human definition, and the meaning of human history. These beliefs structure their worldviews ...

Abstract

Profound education is the basis for the successful career development and personal growth of any individual. Many scholars are trying to give an answer to the question of what makes the learning process more effective. Different aspects of learning theory provide answers to some of these questions. Theories of learning can be grouped into following three categories: behaviorist learning theories, cognitivist learning theories, and constructivist learning theories. Many researchers pay much attention to the process of scaffolding that is actively discussed as a significant element of learning process. The researcher Albert Bandura has devoted a number of his scientific ...

I believe that learning and creativity are closely intertwined. In our everyday life, every person probably experiences learning at one point or the other. Learning is integral to life. There are a myriad experiences and activities that are new to each and every person every day. As a child I learnt how to speak a ride bicycle with the help of my friends. It took a while but eventually I was able to balance myself on the two wheels: something I believed impossible. When I finally tested myself on a motorcycle in my teenage years, the only skill I ...

Pain is a commonly experienced phenomenon among patients. Despite the commonality of the phenomenon of pain, it is a complex concept to describe and explain. There are different types of pain that are diagnosed using different metrics in primary care –somatic, neuropathic, and visceral pain, depending on the location of the pain on the body. Pain can also be acute or chronic, based on the length of time that a patient has experienced the pain. Due to the complexity of the phenomenon of pain, it is poorly understood in the nursing practice. Performing a concept analysis of pain is ...

A. The human cerebral cortex is divided into three main areas: sensory, motor and associated areas (Association Cortex, 2016). Sensory areas belong to the peripheral nervous system. They extend from the spinal cord to the receptor cells located in all parts of the body. The primary function of sensory area to carry impulses from the receptor cells to the brain for interpretation. These impulses can be those of sensations like touch, pain, smell, taste and sight. The motor area or the primary motor cortex is located in the interior part of the brain at the central sulcus. Its pyramidal ...

Part A: Cranial Nerves:

There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves emerging from the brain’s underside passing via cranial openings leading to various parts of the head, neck and body trunk. These nerves are naming, and numbering of these nerves is based on their position i.e. from the anterior to the posterior of the brain. In this case, the olfactory nerve is CN1 while CN12 is the hypoglossal nerve (Wissmann, 2013). In this paper, only four of the twelve cranial nerves shall be discussed i.e. the Olfactory nerve (CN1), Oculomotor Nerve (CN-III) which are sensory nerves, and the Trigeminal Nerve (CN-V) and ...

VERSUS INNATE PRINCIPLES

John Locke’s Theory of Knowledge Versus Innate Principles If there was one philosopher who attempted to elaborate on the inception of knowledge and on how it is conceived in the human mind, it was John Locke. He was “born on August 29, 1632, in Wrington, Somerset, England” (Bio.com n.d.). His adeptness in sciences influenced him to pursue medical studies at the University of Oxford; while at the same time, he ventured into the field of Philosophy where he became known for his writings on varied topics, like “political philosophy, epistemology, and education” (Bio.com n.d.). One of the most ...

In his famous argument about the piece of wax, Descartes argues that perception and understanding of objects is the activity of mind rather than of sense or imagination. He suggests that a piece of wax has distinct characteristics perceived by senses. It has its shape and color which are known by sight, it has its scent which is known by the sense of smell, it gives off a specific sound when knocked with a finger, it is hard and cold. However, if this piece of wax is melted all of its former sensual attributes seize to exist and in ...

Discussion of “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to hear a poem before reading it? In his poem “Introduction to Poetry”, Billy Collins suggests the reader presses an “ear against its hive” regarding poetry. This is so true in the poem “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. Besides the beautiful, simplistic imagery conveyed in the poem, Robert Frost urges the reader, to consider a risk versus reward approach to life, where the greater rewards come from the greater risks. Frost sets a scene for the reader, a fairly common experience, walking a path through an autumnal wood. “Two roads diverged in ...

The nervous system (NS) denotes a collection of human body organs as well as connections, which have expressly differentiated cells referred as neurons or other specialized biochemicals, tissues, and supportive cells that assist in the normal working of the human body NS (Swanson, 2015). The human nervous system helps in addressing acquisition, processing, understanding, storing, as well as coordinating or transmitting signals in the body. Therefore, many body organs, as well as sensory organs, possess discrete and different roles. The nervous system (NS) can be categorized into two, that is, peripheral nervous system (PNS) as well as central nervous ...

The question of whether we should trust our sense comes to us from the ancient times. Since the beginning of philosophy and thought, humans wondered whether the world is the way they see and experience it. With the advancements in philosophy, such doubts even framed out in a separate field of thought. Many thinkers were very skeptical about the contrast between the world as we perceive it and the way it really is and what role do our senses play in the process of perception and understanding. Descartes and Hume are two of the most prominent philosophers whose views ...
