...Everyone has asked the question in their life manual or automatic, but for most people that want to go with the simplest way to drive a car. They would pick the automatic when they buy their brand new Honda Accord or a Ford Fusion. As for older people when they were younger they probably learned how to drive a manual transmission simply because that was the only car their family had. Nowadays 90% of all American families have an automatic car, compared to Europe and Japan, where only 20% drive an automatic car. So whenever an American fifteen year old kid gets his permit the first car he is going to drive is going to be an automatic and they will more than likely stay with that transmission. Compared to a fifteen year old that lived in Europe or Japan. Even though automatics are far more advanced than a manual transmission, that doesn't make them superior because manual have...

...corresponds to a drop in body temperature below 98.6°F.(Decker, 2010). The need for iron exists when the amount in the body is so low so that the blood’s capacity to carry oxygen is reduced. This condition results in feeling tired and weak and being unable to per- form manual work without extensive feelings of fatigue, (Decker, 2010). Some of the examples for physiological is when you have gone the whole day without eating your stomach will began to feel the hunger pains. Also when sitting in a cool room your body will feel how cool it is by having the chills or a cold noes or cold feet. So basically the physiological controls the body tempura. The psychological examples of your mental stability and they both are a essential to help establish a person development and operate in a nature matter. Whenever a physiological need is meet the psychological need can be motivated because they both help each other. 1.

...Biological theories address deviant behavior as a relationship between biological factors, and social norms in respect to crime. The theories address behavior of an individual based upon his or her biological impact. Schmalleger, (2008) points out a connection to social environments and the impact upon human behavior. The connection has validity because of human thoughts and activities are constantly flowing through the brain providing an impact relating to behavior. Researchers base biological theories on flaws relating to heredity, dysfunction of the brain’s neurotransmitters, injuries, trauma, or abnormalities involving the brain affecting behavior (Raine, 2002). Brain development is a biological theory providing information connecting damage of the frontal lobes located in the brain’s cerebrum to criminal behavior. The brain is similar to a computer sending messages to the body and when the messages cannot be delivered it is because of a dysfunction that has occurred in the brain. The frontal lobes and the limbic system are two of the major areas of the brain involving behavior. The frontal lobes are responsible for reasoning, problem solving, and emotions (Allen & Harper, 2010). The limbic system contains electrical circuitry controlling emotions and motivation (Allen & Harper, 2010). The amygdala when stimulated produces behavior related to emotions, memory and fear. When the amygdala is functioning properly it produces the proper behavioral reaction or response to the...

...Disorders of the brain: Mood disorder Tanya Horton Kaplan University PS 124 Mood Disorder The mental disorder that I have chosen to write about is a rather vague area, being mood disorders, that affects “nearly one in ten people aged 18 and older” (MedlinePlus, 2014). Mood disorders “are known to be at least impart genetic, because they are heritable” (Stangor, 2010,. p. 379). “A mood disorder is diagnosed when sadness or elation is overly intense and persistent, is accompanied by a requisite number of other mood disorder symptoms, and significantly impairs the person's capacity to function” (The Merck Manual for health care professionals, 2013). The parts of the brain that are believed to be involved in this certain disorder are the medial prefrontal cortex also known as MPFC, Amygdala, Hippocampus, and ventromedial parts of the basal ganglia. Drevets, Price, and Furey cited that “patients with mood disorders show abnormalities of morphology or morphometry in many visceromotor network structures (Drevets and Price 2005). Depending on the amount of time an individual has had the abnormalalities, they may develop aggressive moods or psychosis. The Hippocampus “is a limbic system brain structure, important in storing information in long term memory” (Stangor, 2010,. p. 73). The limbic system is also associated with a person’s emotions, which affects the mood of the person. The Amygdala, also part of the limbic system, “is responsible for regulating our perception of, and...

The begun of the cyborgs unplugged, they started to talk about the two main people that create the cyborgs project. The two people were very important to this project because not only they made the cyborgs; they made something that most people would not have made. The idea was to create a cyborg with animals and machines that will response in section they create it for. The cyborg they waned to create was a man-machine hybrid that would become an artifact-organism system in what is an implanted electronic device. The device was to have a bodily feedback singles that would automatically response to the wakefulness and metabolism and even the respiration, heart rate, but other as well that would be feedbacks signals. Also explain how the device work as in if its was a toilet seat that would be flush. The way the toilet seat that flush: It would have a to be flush in order to have the water flows into the ballcock and than the water would be riding on the rising tide, which would reaches to the preset level and than after that it would thus recloses the valve. This is like systems that are like homestatically being controlled. 1. Summarize the distinction from the traditional Klines & Clines definition of the cyborg vs. the one that Clark is proposing? 2.

...In a review of available evidence on motor and cognitive processes, four conclusions were described by Diamond (2000). First, neuroimaging studies frequently point out that tasks that activate the prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain associated with attention, also activate areas of the brain necessary to motor processing, specifically the cerebellum. Second, damage to certain areas of the prefrontal cortex or cerebellum often results in a reduction of activity in parts of the other area (i.e., damage to the prefrontal cortex results in activity reduction in the cerebellum and vice versa,) suggesting that these two regions are dependent on each other for normal functioning. Third, children who are diagnosed with cognitive disorders (e.g., ADHD and dyslexia,) often experience motor impairments; furthermore, children with motor impairments frequently exhibit learning difficulties. Lastly, Diamond suggested...

It was named after Lou Gehrig because he was the first person with this disease. He was diagnosed in 1938, the doctor originally diagnosed him with a very rare form of degenerative disease. On June 2, 1941 is when the world lost a beloved baseball legend to ALS. This disease will end up leading people with the disease to their death.

...maltreatment and abuse can have extensive implications on individuals later on in adulthood. To date, numerous studies have found associations between the prevalence of childhood trauma and the global reduction of anatomical structures of the brain, particularly those associated with emotional and stress processing (Ahmed-Leitao et al, 2016; Poletti et al., 2016; Souza-Quiroz et al. 2016). Similarly, many papers have cited functional alterations present with an increased amount of childhood trauma (Duncan et al., 2015; Wang et al., 2014). Considering altered structure and function of emotion and stress areas such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, medial prefrontal cortex, amygdala, hippocampus, anterior cingulate and others,...

Received: 28 June 2012; in revised form: 24 August 2012 / Accepted: 28 August 2012 / Published: 5 September 2012 Abstract: In the past decade, research has accumulated suggesting that excessive Internet use can lead to the development of a behavioral addiction. Internet addiction has been considered as a serious threat to mental health and the excessive use of the Internet has been linked to a variety of negative psychosocial consequences. The aim of this review is to identify all empirical studies to date that used neuroimaging techniques to shed light upon the emerging mental health problem of Internet and gaming addiction from a neuroscientific perspective. Neuroimaging studies offer an advantage over traditional survey and behavioral research because with this method, it is possible to distinguish particular brain areas that are involved in the development and maintenance of addiction. A systematic literature search was conducted, identifying 18 studies. These studies...

...The leech nervous system consists of a brain connected to a ventral nerve cord. This nerve cord is further made up of segmental ganglia (Titlow, 2013). Within each ganglia are many other types of cells that can be distinguished by their general properties and by the electrical signals that they initiate (Titlow,2013). Titlow’s experiment classified some of these types of cells based on their general properties: R-Retzius cells, P- pressure, T- touch, N-nociceptive, AE- annulus erector (2013). In this experiment we dissected a leech ganglia microscopically in order to make intracellular recordings from inside of individual cells. Part of this process included stimulating the neurons with an electrode under various stimulus conditions, such as long pulses, short pulses, and multiple short pulses in a short duration of time. With the results of this experiment, we were able to determine the type of cell that we had penetrated within the leech ganglia, based on the electrical signals that they sent and...

... data, and experiments of psychology, neurology, and criminology in order to inform the public of this new notion which sheds a new light on why people are or become violent criminals. This book was very interesting, well-explained, an easy read and the author incorporated many scientific examples to back up his theories. Adrian Raine takes us on a scientific expedition and exposes brain malfunction to be the cause of violent criminal acts. Raine’s theories are interesting and definitely bring forth many important questions however, while reading, I found some of his concepts are difficult to fully envision for logical reasons. A number of his concepts give an overreaching impression and are a bit too broad. While Raine brings up many valid points, I found myself asking important questions while reading Anatomy of Violence. Does this new research and belief give criminals a “Get out of jail free” card? While reading this book, I asked myself, Will this new theory allow violent offenders to get away with violent offenses? However, I also ask myself, if these criminals in deed have brain abnormalities/malfunction/defects, is it fair to throw them in jail without proper treatment if it is out of their control? As a future defense attorney, I appreciate a book that allows me to question and examine what I believe and know to be true. It is important that...
