The topic chosen is the effect of exposure to alcohol prenatally on brain development. This topic is important because fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) have had an estimated prevalence of 1 in 100 and represent the top source of avoidable developmental disability in North America (Treit et al., 2013). Many children diagnosed with a disorder of this type experience many developmental delays and fall behind there peers both cognitively and socially. Alcohol has the ability to harmfully influence

Introduction: Audience: Future Scientist and Known Multi- Taskers, also the President The Effects of Multitasking on the Brain Hook: Everyone thinks that multitasking is good for the brain and that everyone should want that skill. Well unfortunately studies proven by scientist at the institute in Paris Santé et de la Recherche Médication found that the brain splits into two, basically splitting the attention. It was said that at the most someone can do two things at once depending on the ease of

Bilingualism and Aphasia a Theoretical Review Roxanne M. Cazarez Florida State University Bilingualism in the United States has risen steadily over the past several decades. According to the U.S. Census Bureau in 2011, 21% of the population reported speaking a language other than English. The expanding multiculturalism in this country has been compared to a “salad bowl” that blends “ingredients” into a cohesive but distinctive integration. Likewise, the organization of the brain

have persistently shown abnormalities in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Using anatomical likelihood estimation (ALE), a meta-analyses of forty- two studies demonstrated extensive gray matter deficits in frontal, temporal, cingulate and insular cortex and thalamus in schizophrenia (SZ) when compared to healthy controls. Similarly the same meta-analyses of fourteen studies showed gray matter reductions in anterior cingulate and bilateral insula in bipolar disorder (BD) when compared to healthy controls

Future of Implants When I asked Dr. Marko about what he thinks will happen to implants in the future he stated: “I expect that it will expand.” He explained that “current DBS technologies are seeing expanding indications for more and more diseases with good results. But beyond this, there are whole new domains of brain implants coming online and in the research pipeline. These include the whole field of brain-computer interface, which allows the brain to control machines (e.g. prosthetic limbs)

The cerebral cortex is a vital component of the brain, and is responsible for bodily functions that would be difficult to live without. To have a more suitable expertise of the cerebral cortex scientist divided the brain into for lobes contingent to the purpose of what each lobe is responsible for. Each lobe of the cerebral cortex plays an essential role in humans every day life. If one of the lobes were absent being successful at the University of Oklahoma would be difficult if not unviable.

Poverty and Brain Cortex Area: A Correlational Study The extent of nature and nurture on the development of the human brain has long been studied by neuroscientists and cognitive psychologists. Up to what degree does each variable play in each function of the brain? A group of psychologists recently conducted the largest correlational study looking for the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) of a family and its effects on the brain morphology and behavior of the children raised in them

Practically everyone stresses over what will happen later on. The possibility of not knowing whether something great or awful will transpire soon can create a considerable measure of fear and nervousness. Thus, here is a rundown of procedures and recommendations on the best way to deal with this fear of managing the unknown. Keep in mind that nobody can foresee the future with one hundred percent sureness. Regardless of the fact that the thing that you feared does happen, there are circumstances

Through the decades, researchers have tried to solve the mystery of the enigmatic prefrontal cortex. Along with the famous case of Phineas Gage (Harlow,1848), many studies have attempted to answer the burning question of either or not lesions to the prefrontal cortex lead to an antisocial behavior. The PFC, which is found in the frontal lobe and has an executive function, helps us have an appropriate response to social situations. Why is it important to study this matter? Because we are social creatures

Running Head: PERSUASIVE ESSAY 2 Introduction Depending on the area of the brain that is affected by a stroke, patients may find they can no longer move certain body parts due to paralysis, they may have trouble talking or reading and their cognitive function is severely declined. Current after stroke therapy focuses mostly on palliative care and management of symptoms, instead of restoring cognitive or physical
