Summary: The Innate Brain System

Improved Essays
The innate brain systems of all mammals/animals are developed on and surpass the capacities of both the right and the left hemisphere of the brain. Minute animals like the worms have pseudo sensory brain function mechanisms that has been connected by nerves having very few neurons. There is a neural net that links the brain stimuli system with few intermediary layers and that could be used as an illustration model (Sowa 1983). The brain of a reptile is infinitesimally small compared to those of other mammals, however it kind of has an elaborate system that is capable of receiving signals from highly sophisticated sensory structure that sends outcomes to equally sophisticated brain function mechanisms, which is able to bolster both enunciated control and high frequency …show more content…

    Throughout the book, Engineers of Victory: The Problem Solvers Who Turned the Tide in the Second World War, by Paul Kennedy, he shows to the reader how the Second World War was won through many different perspectives. These perspectives include; different military strategies that show to the reader how the war was won and how. The main point that Kennedy tries to convey to the reader in my opinion is that World War II was not a general war but rather a saga of different parts coming together to shape into one massive conflict. Kennedy started out in the introductory chapter by describing what the book is going to cover and how it affected the war.…

    Our ability to take ideas from our mind and put them into reality is central to forging our own paths, as without action, words and ideas are nothing but wind. Returning to the concept of “vision” we look to Sacks’ story of his bewilderment of his mother drawing the skeleton of a lizard from memory: “I could not imagine how she had done this. When she said that she could see the skeleton in her mind just as clearly as she could and vividly as if she were looking at it” (Sacks 337). Sack’s mother was able to internally visualize the skeleton and then redraw it from memory. Her ability to put pen to paper and create what was previously only a concept in her mind, however small, is an example of concept becoming reality.…

    In chapter five, the emergence of culture, the authors ask the question of why natural selection allowed the brain to evolve in a way where culture became more likely among humans’ hominid ancestors? While the development of culture had allowed the organization of hominoid to increase in complexity, it was faced with many obstacles. The authors argue that the development of culture is anchored in the development of spoken language. As a result, the development of culture couldn’t occur without high level of brain rewiring in the brain, as well as, the shift in speech needed to accommodate visual dominance to work with it, rather than at cross purpose to it. In addition to these biological changes that needed to occur to allow for the development of speech, the authors argue that there were six pressures against the development of culture: first, the need to control for noise and emotions in the open savanna; Second, the need to increase sociality and group solidarity through verbal communication; third, the need to increase coordination and instrumental action by group and through verbal communication; fourth, the need to expand the tool kit used by hominoids; fifth, the need to increase the capacity for symbolizing and totemizing; and finally, the need to increase the ability to see and evaluate self from the prospective of the other.…

    The human mind is a fascinating machine. While humans may not be the biggest or strongest throughout the animal kingdom, our thoughts, and as a result, our intellectual power has lead us to become the dominating figure on this planet. Many people argue that one’s most powerful resource is their thoughts, but what kind of “thoughts” make them so fierce? Louis H. Sullivan, in his essay “Thoughts”, believes that creative thinking is the most powerful method of thinking. In order for one to think creatively, they must not use words, as words slow down the thought process due to having to find words and group them together which can be tedious.…

    Bandura’s (2001) ideology of the human brains ability to function like a computer in its ability to “deliver up information to a neural network acting as the mental machinery that does the construing, planning, motivating, and regulating nonconsciously” ( p. 2) affirms the psychological changes that take place during the formation of personal identity. As neurological process are set in motion, the brain attributes meaning to every act that we have engaged in – past, present, and future. Through a process coined as forethought, humans are able to create associations to various experiences taken place in their immediate environment and global society. These serves to provide intrinsic motivation to adjust our behavior to either decline or…

    Sense Reductionism

    During previous centuries, using Reductionism pattern has been the dominant pattern on sense recognition (seventh sense; p kivi 2008). It was due to the nature of sciences which were in the process of recognizing the notion of sense and human emotion sets. What we need in these sciences is (1) dividing each sense into some fundamental elements, (2) discussing and describing the unique and specific features of each fundamental element in specific science scopes and (3) extracting interactions and communications between senses, if needed for correct recognition of fundamental elements (not sense in its general meaning) (expert system in science; nill wart 2009). On the other hand, even when we use system thinking pattern for sense recognition,…

    In this essay I shall outline the Representational Theory of Mind, and in doing so, will explore some of its key features, and concepts that are implicit in the theory. I will give particular attention to Fodor and his (1975) Language of Thought Hypothesis, wherein cognition involves the medium of representation, sharing its central properties with principles found in linguistics. I will then describe reasons for thinking that all of cognition is representational, focusing on Fodor 's processing argument, which is grounded on the nature of cognition, with its essential characteristics of productivity and systematicity. The cognitive act of rational choice and the requirements for such a capacity will also be examined. Furthermore, after exploring…

    Locke offers many other objections to the specific kinds of innate ideas such as identity, God and infinity. First concerning the idea of identity, Locke claims that this idea is not universally held distinctly enough to be considered innate. Secondly, he considers the idea of God but says that because different cultures and societies differ in their conceptions of God it must be a social construct implemented by society rather than an innate idea granted at birth. Lastly, Locke considers the notion of infinity. He says that it is possible to explain the idea that people have of infinity without depending on an infinite being to permit the idea.…

    Unbeknownst to the casual reader, what authors choose to include or exclude in their writing, as well as their choice of words, can have monumental influence on the interpretation of their story. This interpretation, however, is subject to the readers own experiences, bias and ignorances. Like an astronaut arriving to a novel planet, each text brings readers to distant pre-constructed lands setting them free to explore not only their obvious landmarks, but their never-ending minutia. In rare instances, we are given an unobstructed view of the different ways authors create their own “planets”. Such sophisticated insights into the translation of ideas and thoughts are given in books that have been written as far back as the 16th Century, well before the advent of realism and modernism.…

    Neurons are the cells specialized to receive, conduct, and transmit signal to the nervous system. The development of neurons starts early during the embryogenesis. After the fusion of sperm and egg, zygote is formed which is further divided to form blastula eventually leading to gastrula stage of development. Gastrulation begins as invagination of cells in the embryo leading to the formation of three germ layers. Formation of notochord from the mesodermal layer marks the beginning of neurulation.…

    Humans, or homo sapiens, are complex animals who are autopoietic entities. This means that they are self-generating and are not dependent on anything external to the body to direct construction and maintenance processes. While humans are alive, they continue to generate themselves. Because nothing from our outside organisation can direct our operation, we are autonomous. We are structure determined as our behaviour is determined by our structure in a particular environment.…
