  • Brain And The Twelve Cranial Nerves
    1,798 words
    The Brain and Cranial Nerves One of the most complex and fascinating things in the human body is the brain. The body is "capable of almost everything, but it would not be possible, without the brain receiving information, and analyzing the information". The brain is aware of its surroundings, via input from the spinal cord and cranial nerves. Cranial nerves with sensory functions allow us to smell and see. Nerves with both motor and sensory functions are responsible for everything from tasting a...
  • Significant Difference In Brain Functionality
    929 words
    The Human Brain Through the use of molecular biology it is thought that the hominidae family first appeared about 5 million years ago. Based on this time frame it is believed that an African Hominoid lineage was present shortly before that time, approximately 10 myp, which contained the common ancestor to both the chimpanzee and human. The split into proto-chimpanzee and proto-human occurred during the last million years of the Miocene epoch. (Changeux and Chavaillon pg. 61). The fossils, especi...

  • Better Images Of Brain Structure And Function
    1,642 words
    The Human Brain and Methods of Discovery The human nervous system consists of several parts. The main structures are the brain and the spinal cord. The system includes nerves that sense external and internal stimuli and then relay the information to the central processing unit - the brain. The brain is the portion of the vertebrate central nervous system that constitutes the organ of thought and neural coordination. It includes all the higher nervous centers, receiving stimuli from the sense org...
  • Interaction Of Consciousness With Matter
    896 words
    The relation of consciousness to the material world is puzzle, which has its origin in dualism, a philosophy of mind which posits their fundamental separation. Dualism, in turn, has its roots in folk wisdom. The belief that humans are more than bodies and that there is something in human nature that survives bodily death has its origins in prehistory; it becomes explicit in the mythology of Ancient Egypt and Assyria and was formulated into a philosophical position in the Platonic thought of Anci...
  • Brain Procedures

    Introduction One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest presents a flashing array of images and scenes that are impossible to ignore and impossible to forget. One particular scene, where Jack Nicholson is being led to bed with a marring scar on his forehead, is among the most socially disturbing. For, we find it hard to believe that humanity had "scrambled" the brains of those who could not live within the confines of society. Nicholson's character received a pre-frontal lobotomy. No other medical procedur...
  • Riddle Of Frontal Lobe Function In Man
    2,904 words
    Have We Learned Anything New About The Functions Of The Frontal Lobe In The Last Five Years Discuss The frontal lobe is thought to be the latest area of the brain to develop and is largest in humans. It is therefore suggested that the area plays a key role in differentiating humans from other hominids (Crespo-Facorro et al 1999; Fuster, 1997). For well over a century research has investigated the functioning of the frontal region of the human brain (Della Sala et al, 1998). In 1964 Tuber wrote o...
  • Brain Structures To Functional Processes
    2,092 words
    This essay will discuss whether the specific human functions are confined to specific areas in the outer layer of the two hemispheres of the brain (cerebral cortex). The evidence and research methods employed to support or dispute this statement and current understanding of this subject will be discussed. A conclusion will summarise the material covered and offer a clear statement as to whether there is evidence of localisation of function in the cerebral cortex. The search for localisation of f...
