The fly brain can be subdivided into two morphologically and functionally distinct regions: 1. the central brain, which is responsible for receiving sensory inputs and higher order processing; 2. the optic lobes, which process visual input from the fly compound eyes. Neurons have a soma (cell body) and one main nerve fiber (neurite; sometimes more than one). Higher order fibers branch off the cell body and the main fiber. Synapses, junctions at which nerve impulses are transmitted from one neuron

Cerebrum Cerebrum is divided in to two cerebral hemispheres as left hemisphere and right hemisphere by the cerebral fissure. There are large no of convolutions in the cerebral hemisphere named gyri and the two cerebral hemispheres form shallow grooves and deep grooves separated by sulci and fissure. Corpus collosum with a bundle of nerve fiber connects the cerebral hemisphere together. The cerebral hemisphere can be divided into four lobes. They are frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe and

organization of the cerebral cortex is that it is the outermost layer of gray matter of the cerebral hemisphere. The cerebral cortex develops from the inside out. The first cells that are created move just a little bit to creating the first and the deepest layer. Afterwards, a wave of new cells goes through the first layer and creates the second one and so on and so forth until they reached the sixth layer and the cerebral cortex are then laid down. The four lobes of the cerebral cortex are temporal

Under the harsh light of a headlamp with a primeval scalpel in one hand, Dr. William Beecher Scoville was prepared to cut into the brain of his 23 year old epileptic patient. He leans over the operation table, looking deep into the hole he just drilled above Henry Molaison’s eyebrow. And with a hook like tool, he pulls aside the frontal lobe, reaching deep into the center of the brain towards the goal – the seahorse-shaped hippocampus. Using an electric cautery to snip it lose and a thin tubed vacuum

A patient with a temporal lobe injury would be affected for life. The thing with a brain injury is that the injury could cause life altering consequences, which affect functioning behavior and even personality itself. The temporal lobes are located on the bottom and at the side of each

hypothalamus which are responsible for such functions as motor control, relaying sensory information, and controlling autonomic functions. The telencephalon contains the largest part of the brain, the cerebral cortex. Most of the actual information processing in the brain takes place in the cerebral cortex. The midbrain and the hindbrain together make up the brainstem. The midbrain is the portion of the brainstem that connects the hindbrain and the forebrain. This region of the brain is involved

Re Face Recognition Paper Adriana Zachry Psych/560 November 13, 2012 Christopher Wessinger Face Recognition Paper Face recognition develops slowly through life. Recognizing a face can be a difficult for the individual and also for the brain system that processes. The complexity of recognizing individual faces can be a difficult task at times. Recognizing faces also includes looking at an individual’s emotional expression and then, being able to take that information and processing it

effects of reaching the cruising altitude of a commercial airliner, and they are all, predictably, horrifying. Hypothermia can make a person feel hot enough to strip off his or her clothes in freezing temperatures. A condition known as high-altitude cerebral edema causes swelling of the brain, and then there's the pulmonary form of edema, in which blood and other fluids collect in the lungs, essentially drowning the afflicted person. It's all setup for the extended climax, which takes up almost half
