In order to understand how alcohol and energy drinks negatively affects the brain, it is necessary to first give a general explanation the normal functioning of the synaptic processes. Neurons are the basic structures in the Central Nervous System, that process information. The types of information includes: All motor information that grants us the ability to move; all sensory information that allows us to see, hear, taste, smell, touch; and finally, the cognitive information that allows us to
In the chapter five Brown (2007) states, learning styles left/right brain, Ambiguity tolerance, reflectivity/impulsivity, and visual/auditory/kinesthetic are discussed and I am able to relate to all of them. With the left/right brain learning style I know that I am a left brain thinker. I am very logical and focus on important details in the moment. Left brain is more dominant, but that is not necessarily a good thing. For instance, I am easily frustrated when I do not know something. It is hard
significant gaps in literacy acquisition. The present study investigates the executive functions deficits in adolescents with hearing impairment. Two groups of adolescents with a mean age of 14.6 participated in this cross sectional study. Qualitative analysis of the Verbal Fluency tasks carried out to tap the EF skills in the participants. Cluster number, cluster size and total fluency were measured from the responses obtained. Adolescents in Group II could generate more words
Mythologies is written by Ronald barthes, who was a semiotician and structuralist. semiotician interpret human action and language as a series of signs that produced meanings. In his essay soap powder and detergents in “‘Mythologies’ Barthes describes about the myths of French daily life and explain how the media contributed to form the myths. According to barthers the advertisement and media repackage the popular idea so that it become selling. Barthes introduces the subject of soap-powders and
Alzheimer’s disease is a slowly progressive disease of the brain that is characterized by impairment of memory and eventually by disturbances in reasoning, planning, language, and perception. Alzheimer’s disease begins slowly. In Alzheimer’s disease, brain cells degenerate and die, causing a steady decline in memory and mental function. It first involves the parts of the brain that control thought, memory and language. People who are suffering from this disease may encounter some trouble remembering
tool to catch ants. They know it’s difficult to catch ants using own hands, but to use that tool makes easier. Chimpanzee is said that intelligence is about 4 years old for human beings. In solving something like a human being, they use their own brains and think about it, and use resources as tools to produce better results more efficiently. So, how about us? Usually, we face many problems just by being alive. If we move, we will become hungry. We feel cold in winter and hot in summer. Such a problem
the severity of the clinical manifestation correlates with the degree of the underlying brain malformation. Diagnosis/testing.
Biological Causes of Depression In addition to environmental causes of depression, biological factors also play a part in the triggering of depression. Scientists have been making great progress in understanding the brain, as well as the hormones and neurotransmitters, and how they relate to the cause of depression. The limbic system is what controls emotion, physical and sexual drives, and how people react to stress (All about Depression: Biological Causes). The hypothalamus controls “body temperature
When cancer metastases to the brain, radiation therapy is the treatment of choice. And while this treatment prolongs life, mental function is affected. A new study examines a technique that may preserve the mental functions. Researchers found that limiting the amount of radiation to the hippocampus during whole brain radiotherapy may preserve cancer patients' memory function. The purpose of this review is to provide a brief overview of studies that provide a rationale for hippocampal avoidance. Also
of research supporting the conclusion that single exercise sessions improves the cognitive function in adults instantly after completing the exercise, Dave Ellemberg and Mathilde St-Louis-Deschenes (2010) conducted a study to see if children whose brains are still developing, would cognitively benefit as well and if their age influences the effect. The study looked at seventy-two boys. Of the seventy-two, thirty-six were seven years of age, and the other thirty-six were 10 years of age. All of the
