impoverished environment. They discovered that the brains of the enriched rats were indeed different from those of the impoverished rats in many ways. The cerebral cortex which deals with experience, movement, memory, learning and all sensory input of the enriched rats was significantly heavier and thicker. It appears that the cerebral cortex reacts just like any other muscle in the body, as you work the muscle it increases in weight and density. This was also one of the most consistent effects

digesting food. The cerebral cortex is in charge of more complex things such as thought and memory. Aside from this general way to split up the brain, it can be broken down further into five major structures, each with it’s own physiology and structures within it. These regions are the telencephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon, metencephalon, and myelencephalon. The telencephalon sits at the top of the brain and is divided into two hemispheres, often referred to as cerebral hemispheres (Pinel,

Intuición Estratégica, Memoria Inteligente y Neurociencia: Cómo se procesan las ideas y como surgen las ideas creativas en la mente Hace unos días mientras preparaba una charla sobre análisis de decisiones, leí un artículo cuyo título era “Cómo realmente sucede el ¡Ajá!” (“How Aha! Really Happens”), escrito por William Duggan, profesor de la Escuela de Negocios de la Universidad de Columbia y publicado en el portal “strategy +business” en noviembre del 2010. El artículo inmediatamente concitó

knowing how to solve problems. This structure also controls one’s level of intelligence, one’s personality, and begins able to smell, and touch. The telencephalon is made up of many structures, the cerebral cortex, major fissures, major gyri, four lobes, the limbic system, the basal ganglia, and the cerebral commissures. The second structure of the forebrain is the diencephalon, and it is made up of four structures the thalamus, the hypothalamus, the optic chiasm, and the pituitary gland. The thalamus

Brain Response of Behavior Neurons are electrical cells found in the nervous system which are responsible for sending information between neurons and the cells. With neurons, all body systems are able to talk with the brain through sending and receiving signals. A connection with the specific regions of the central nervous system is found. In order to get to where they are going, neurotransmitters are needed by the neurons so that signals between a neuron, and a cell are relayed, modulated

Brain Response of Behavior BEH/225 December 15, 2013 This paper will explain the communication process of the neurons in the brain, the major regions of the brain and what functions of behavior the systems of each region control, and the sensory process. Part I There are 100 billion neurons in your brain. They are the basic building block of the nervous system. They are also known as nerve cells. There are three parts to a neuron, the dendrites, the cell body and the axon. Using electrical
