the brain associated with different styles of learning such as, visual learning takes place in occipital learning, auditory earning in temporal cortex, text learning is in the integration of part of the brain called bocce’s and veronicas in dominant hemisphere associated with secondary visual cortex. For kinesthetic learning it is the parietal cortex. The frontal cortex of the brain is involved in executive functioning and planning based on knowledge accumulated in various parts of the brain. There

them are employed full time. He would like to continue working and living life to the fullest. Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, is a brain disease that progressively destroys thinking skills and memory. Although the cause of this disease is unknown, researchers believe that the accumulation of the protein amyloid in the brain may contribute to its onset. Although most individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease are 65 years of age and older, it is not uncommon to develop the

Malformation is a structural defect in the cerebellum and the brain stem which controls balance and most of the involuntary functions of the body. The malformation is formed during pregnancy while the fetus in the woum the mothers’ lack of nutrients can cause a defect in the brain and spinal cord. A bony space of the skull becomes abnormally small putting a lot of pressure on the cerebellum blocking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid which protects the brain and spinal cord. The most common type of Chiari Malformation

the branch of science that attempts to explain behavior in terms of biology, is therefore the study of the brain and how it causes or relates to behavior (Foundations of Biopsychology). The brain contains more cells than there are in the universe. There are over 100 billion cells and each parts works together to produce, direct, and choreograph what we think, feel, and do. The study of the brain is one of the most rapidly expanding areas in modern science today, and part of this development is a quest

technology lowered our levels of gray matter. Working out where to go ourselves creates mental maps and creates more stimuli in the brain, though we give that up when using GPS. That same concept also applies to learning-instead of learning on our own anymore, we look up answers online. It's been proven that when we self teach and find our answers through work we create more brain stimuli, and we retain the information better. Contemporary technology has weakened our capacity for deep processing, which can

watched in class. It was amazing to see how the dead bodies carefully opened up and analyzed to see what the cause of death was. The most interesting part of it was how they get to the brain the carefully cut through the scalp and pull it forward to cut the scull and retrieve the brain. It is fascinating how the brain looks and the components it has and the way they put everything back together and sow it back up. This course has showed me a lot and I think it is very helpful to know these things for
