Neocortex

incisions are made to complete the lateral neocortical temporal resection. The first incision and second incision intersect at the temporal horn. *The third incision is directed to collateral fissure, and the lateral neocortex is removed. These three incisions dissects the temporal neocortex to expose the parahippocampus/hippocampus…

sensory systems which make connections between various stimuli such as associating what we see with what we hear. In other words, it provides comprehension. When people learn, the structure of nerve cells in the neocortex are changed. The structure of the neocortex is very complicated. The neocortex is composed of two cerebral hemispheres. The brain coordinates information between the two hemispheres. Corpus callosum is the bridge between these two hemispheres. Transering information between…

206 bones in the human body and approximately one and a half gallons of blood gives humans the ability to walk and talk. And while these are a very important part of the human being, these things alone don’t define us as human. For it is not our blood or bones, or even the ability to feel emotions such as love, that defines someone as a human, but it is the combination of these things paired with the ability to execute complex brain functions that sets humans apart from other organisms and…

these two complement each other. As for the emotional side, life grows from the brain in an area called the limbic system. This is where disgust, fear and anger come from. Later on the neocortex was added, so humans can plan, learn, and remember. It is lust that comes from the limbic system, and love is from the neocortex. Joseph LeDoux is the man who found cerebral pathways. He discovered the short circuit in the brain that lets emotions drive action before the intellect gets a chance to…

includes movements like breathing to complex emotions and feelings. I think that is also the case why as human we role-play a lot, and rarely—even sometimes not knowing—our own identity and who we are as a person. That as the brain shifts between the Neocortex, Limbic or the Reptilian brain due to various stimuli internally or externally, we as a person could change. Change our personality, our way of speaking or our method of perceiving the things around us. Personally I think role-playing will…

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…

believed to relate to the brain’s hippocampus and neocortex, both of which take the responsibility for storing long-term memories. Scientists indicate that when sleeping, the hippocampus reviews what happened on the day for the neocortex, then after that, the neo-cortex will organize everything again. By that way, memories can last for a long time. If people do not sleep enough, this process of replaying memories from the hippocampus to the neocortex will not happen efficiently and lead to…

neurodevelopmental disorders, focusing primarily on autism spectrum disorder. His research hinges on the overarching goal of developing better diagnostic criteria and personalized treatments. More specifically, he focuses on diversity of cell types in the neocortex, and looks at the factors that regulate the formation of synapses and circuits. While his ever growing body of research is impressive, Levitt is truly known for his role in crafting policy…

“He gave the ‘I have a dream’ speech, not the ‘I have a plan’ speech.No period here. use only after citation. This applies to all citations. ” (How Great Leaders Inspire Action, online) An excerpt from How great leaders inspire action by Simon Sinek is a good speech, because it utilizes repetition, Real life examples, and explains why his point works. In Simon Sinek’s speech, his main point is using “Why? How? What?” to explain how great leader inspire others to act (How Great Leaders Inspire…

Proof of Heaven by Eben Alexander is based on his account of his journey thought afterlife while he was in a coma. Eben discusses the scientific views on what he experienced while also giving an as detailed as possible account of what he sees, hears, and does while being in heaven. Since Dr. Eben Alexander is a neurosurgeon, before his coma he did not believe during near-death experiences (NDE) people could really go to heaven and that it was just the brain making up these illusions that people…
