located in between the two cerebral hemispheres. The corpus callosum in the normal brain aids in the assimilation of sensory, motor, and cognitive processes by conveying information between the two cerebral hemispheres. Unlike the anatomy of the normal brain, the split brain’s corpus callosum is severed from the two cerebral hemispheres. 1d. The cerebral cortex in the normal brain is located on the outer layer of the cerebrum immediately under the forehead. The cerebral cortex is separated into the

Cerebellar Disorders Definition The cerebellum is a structure present in the brain meant for the commencement of smooth integrated and coordinated movements. It is required for movements that need the intensive, synergistic contractions of multiple groups of muscle. It also permits those movements to be performed with efficiency and accuracy. Cerebellar disorders are the disorders of cerebellum that occurs due to lesions at any level or part of the cerebellum. The most obvious and most common consequence

The insula deals with motor control where hand-eye coordination is involved (Insular cortex, 2017), the putamen plays a role in the perception of contempt and disgust (Putamen, 2017), and the frontal cortex is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex, which contains the dopamine-sensitive neurons associated with reward, attention, short-term memory tasks, panning, and motivation. (Frontal lobe, 2017) It is said that all of these parts of the brain work together to take action when a person

Child Psychology Exam 3 – Study Guide What will Exam 3 Cover? Exam 3 will cover all lectures and assigned textbook material from Chapters 7 (p257-260), 8, 9, 10 (p 366-367), 11, and 12. There may be some overlap between the concepts from the first parts of this course, as many of the ideas we discussed during infancy are also important during early and middle childhood, but the exam will focus on early and middle childhood. • What are some of the main advances in children’s thinking during

functions can consist of problem solving, speaking, and learning as well as retaining memory and expressing and feeling emotions. Cognitive functions originate in the part of the brain called cerebrum also known as the cerebral cortex this takes up majority of the brains mass. The cerebral cortex is made up of four lobes which consist of frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, and the occipital lobe. Each lobe has a task and serves a cognitive function to the brain. Some task such as speaking and

26 Recommendations 27 Bibliography 28 NCP (actual/ potential ) 29-33 Introduction A stroke is damage to part of the brain when its blood supply is suddenly reduced or stopped. A stroke may also be called a cerebral vascular accident, or CVA. The part of the brain deprived of blood dies and can no longer function. Blood is prevented from reaching brain tissue when a blood vessel leading to the brain becomes blocked (ischemic) or bursts (hemorrhagic). The symptoms
