Addiction is a complex disease that is influenced by several factors including: genetic, developmental, experiential and environmental factors (Goldstein & Volkow, 2002). Alcohol dependence, otherwise referred to as alcoholism, is characterized by frequent use of alcohol resulting in intoxication, a preoccupation with alcohol, compulsion to seek and consume alcohol, the inability to limit alcohol intake and the emergence of negative emotional state when the drug is absent (Gilpin & Koob, 2008; Ernst

comprehension, visual functions, language, reading, and internal stimuli. Tactile sensation and sensory comprehension are the main trait focused in this lobe. The parietal lobe is separated into two different cortex’s named sensory cortex, and motor cortex, The sensory cortex which is located in the front portion of the parietal lobe receives information relayed from the spinal cord regarding the position of various body parts and how they are moving, this area of the brain can also be used to

Schizophrenia is a heterogeneous illness that may involve several pathophysiological gender differences. For men and women incidence risk peaks between 20-29 years of age, and women also have a second risk peak between 30–39 years of age. Negative symptoms including low motivation and withdrawal are more frequent in men and appear up to six years before diagnosis (Hafner, 2005; Hafner et al., 1993; Morgan et al., 2008). Women exhibit greater levels of depression and positive symptoms including sexual

My maternal grandmother also had been diagnosed with dementia before her death. Later this month I will accompany my 77-year-old mother to her neurologist appointment. While she has not been diagnosed with AD or dementia, she has been prescribed Donepezil (Aricept), one of the newer drugs that are thought to reduce the decline in memory in patients that have or might be

placed over the right inferior frontal cortex, and at different current strengths. Differential effects in responses to stimuli were looked at which included varying by repetition and target presence, differences related to expectancy, and individual differences in skin stimulation and mood. Participants received training for 1 hour in a complex virtual environment with the task of detecting hidden objects. Anodal tDCS was applied over the right inferior frontal cortex at either 0.1 mA or 2.0 mA for the

evaluate statements of fact” (Harris et al, 2009) The researchers compare religious thinking with ordinary cognition. This is done to investigate how religious belief affects the functions of the brain in areas such as the prefrontal cortex, lateral occipital cortex, and other areas studied (Harris et al, 2009). The research was
