Experts have linked the similarity of languages by the shared words, sounds, or grammatical constructions. There are specific names classified for people who speak a certain number of languages. People who speak one language are termed monolinguals. People who speak two languages fluently are termed bilinguals. People…

One of the first studies that looked at the effects of gaming on the dopaminergic pathway was a study by Koepp and colleagues (1998) that took positron emission topography (PET) scans of eight male participants while they were playing a video game. The authors found that there were greater dopamine increases in the ventral striatum (where the NAc is located) in the experimental condition (playing the video game) than in the control condition (looking at an empty screen). Furthermore, while…

Hidden Dangers A list of pros and cons can be assigned to everything, unfortunately, computers and cell-phones, though amazing, are not exempt from this. Cons can refer to many things, but the one biggest downfall that is worth looking into is the unforeseen impact that technology has on the human body.

the feeling of pain, lumber around, A physical attribute of a typical zombie lacks the use of language but do not lack voice, instead they groan. This leads me to believe that the Broca’s area is damaged. The Broca’s area is located in the frontal lobe and controls language expression. It gives us the ability to direct muscle movements involved in speech. So when the Broca’s area is damaged, the result is slurred speech and groaning. Zombies do not simply…

In fMRI scans of the frontal lobe of antisocial adolescents, we learn that it is dysfunctional when compared to the normal or average juvenile. As a result, executive functions, such as self-regulation and inhibitory control, concept-formation, abstract reasoning, and problem-solving behavior are largely impaired, putting adolescents with this lobe dysfunctions at risk for being antisocial. Despite arguments from other scholars putting forth…

The loss of ability performed by these lobes, cause symptoms that result in the Alzheimer’s Disease. In collaboration with each other, these parts all have special abilities that related them all each other. By this it is meant that such things as the ability to think cognitive thoughts involve…

A transorbital lobotomy is when a pick like instrument, ie an icepick, is forced through the back of the patient's eye socket to sever connections with the prefrontal cortex, a part of the frontal lobe of the brain. Furthermore, the lobotomy was thought to be a “cure” for various mental illnesses, including anxiety, schizophrenia, and depression, but a lobotomy was performed on Howard simply because his step mother needed a way to “fix” him and get…
