to problem solve, move, think and feel (“Alzheimer’s Disease,”n.d.). The cerebrum can be divided into two halves, the right hemisphere and the left hemisphere. Each hemisphere has four lobes, occipital lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and frontal lobe. Each lobe has specific tasks. For example, the occipital lobe is responsible for visual images.
Tessie’s head hit the wind shield the initial impact (coup) may have caused damage to the frontal lobe, with a second impact (contrecoup) to the opposite side of the brain the occipital lobe or cerebellum. With the brain having a semisolid form, the initial impact would causes the brain to slam into the skull, and then rebound and hit the opposite side of the skull. Research shows that often times the temporal lobe and the occipital are involved in the contrecoup injury (Taylor, Ludwigsen, & Ford, 2014)
Metabolic syndrome This is a multiple condition; high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels that occur together, increasing the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Large waist circumference is a visible sign. Metabolic syndrome is linked to overweight or obesity and inactivity and also to insulin resistence, when cells don't respond normally to insulin, and glucose can't enter the cells as easily. As a result

Cortex is divided into four lobes separated by prominent fissures or folds 1. Frontal lobes (behind your forehead) 2. Parietal lobes (at the top and to the rear) 3. Occipital lobes (at the back of your head) 4. Temporal lobes (reversing direction, just above ears) ix. Function of the cortex: x. Specific parts of the cortex control complex functions like movement or speech xi
Does writing down notes on paper more effective than typing it? Cerebrum: The cerebrum is the main part of the brain, which has two halves, or hemispheres. The right hemisphere controls the left side of the body and deals with things such as creativity, music, and art. While the left hemisphere of the cerebrum controls the right side of the body and is in charge of language, problem solving, and math. The cerebrum’s many tasks are carried out by its outer layer, or its cortex. This has distinct
most at risk for traumatic brain injury are the frontal lobe and the temporal lobe. This may be attributed to the fact that they are up against rigid bone. The structure of the skull positioned anterior to the neck allows for greater distances and variances of movement. The frontal lobe influences personality, planning, initiating, and organizing; all of which that are needed for high level cognitive functioning. Damage to the frontal lobe may result in changes in an individual's personality and
Introduction The brain and its parts play a significant role in determining cognitive functioning. Cognitive functions may be defined as the abilities of a person to process information and thoughts. The brain consists of different areas, but only specific areas have an impact on cognitive functioning. The tragic case of a rail-road construction foreman known as Phineas Gage in 1848 showed the relation between certain areas of the brain and their support for specific cognitive functions. Phineas'
areas of the brain, each responsible for performing different tasks, they are the: forebrain, midbrain, and the hindbrain. The brain is also split into two hemispheres: the left and the right side. In addition, to the two above mentioned the four lobes of the brain will be discussed to get a general idea of the anatomy of the brain. The first area is the forebrain, which has the most
brain is made up of three main structures. The spinal cord, the cortex, and the cerebellum. What’s commonly asked about the brain is how it stores memory. The brain stores memory inside the different lobes of the brain. The frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe, and the limbic lobe that cannot be seen from outside of the brain. Before the brain can undergo consolidation the process of storing a memory. The first development stage
The parietal lobes are located behind the frontal lobes and in front of theoccipital lobes. They process sensory information such as temperature, pain,taste, and touch. In addition, the processing includes information about numbers, attentiveness to the position of one 's body parts, the space around one 's body, and one 's relationship to this space. The temporal lobes are located on each side of the brain. They process memory and auditory
