Neurobiology is a theory that deals with the brain and your nerves. It determines if you are a left or right brain person. One of the theorists is named Roger Sperry. He was a very big neurobiologist. A disease that deals with this theory is ADD/ADHD. Neurophysiology is the study of the brains behavior. Personality affects how a person will behave in certain situations. Human’s attitudes are determined by their environments, personal preferences and dislikes all reflex their everyday actions. Personality
Genius: The Neurobiology of Giftedness Toby Rosenberg, in all the five years of his life, has never been your typical toddler. At age 14 months, Toby could read aloud from posters his stroller passed by. A year later, he spoke both Polish and English fluently, and at the age of 4, he compiled a dictionary of hieroglyphics after visiting a museum shop and perusing through a book on ancient Egypt (1). From W.A. Mozart to Bobby Fisher to Toby Rosenberg, some children have since their birth amazed
Neurobiology of Human Sexuality Human sexuality is a topic that has been taboo for many centuries. The orgasm, for example, is one aspect of sexuality that has been overlooked. In particular, the female orgasm is an important function to address because it's a subject that has been socially steeped in silence and shame, and is directly connected to female health in general. Not many people are willing to admit, that orgasms actually benefit a woman physically and psychologically in many ways
Cocaine and the Brain: The Neurobiology of Addiction In the eyes of the public, the word addict stirs up a negative image: a person of low moral character who willfully chooses to engage in questionable behavior. This image is perpetuated in the media; on a recent episode of E.R., the chief surgeon criticizes another doctor for allowing a heroin addict (who has been treated for an abscess) to exchange a dirty needle, explaining "we donât want these low-lives hanging around the hospital." The
The Neurobiology of Anxiety Disorders: A Preliminary Investigation When I first began my research for this paper, I was primarily interested in learning more about the role of serotonin in the treatment of anxiety disorders. While I did discover that serotonin is important, especially when it comes to understanding the latest drugs being prescribed by doctors to combat anxiety symptoms, I also learned that researchers are pursuing a number of other "leads" in investigating the neurobiology of
The Correlation Between Music and Math: A Neurobiology Perspective I remember the first time I heard the statement ¡° Did you know that listening to classical music enhances your mathematical abilities?¡± I was both intrigued and excited, intrigued because I did not understand how music and math, two seemingly unrelated subject could possibly affect each other. I was also excited because I began to view classical music as some kind of magical potion that would transform my math skills from decent
Love and Neurobiology: Not So Strange Bedfellows "The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed." -J. Krishnamurti Love is one of life's great mysteries. People live and build their lives around love. For many people, love, or the quest to find love, is a reason to get out of bed in the morning. Love is arguably the most overwhelming of all emotions. Many ideals
The Neurobiology of Fear: Emotional Memory and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder For survivors of traumatic events, the trauma itself is often only the beginning. While some are relatively unaffected, many others will develop post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, an affliction that haunts its victims with terrifying memories, nightmares, and panic attacks. (For a comprehensive list of symptoms and diagnostic criteria, the reader may refer to the DSM-IV, relevant portions of which may be found
Neurobiology is the multidisciplinary study of the nervous system, its constituents neurons and glia, and the interaction between the nervous system and other systems such as muscular system. Though there is evidence of neurosurgery from ancient civilizations (eg. trepanation by Mayans), modern neurobiology has its roots in experiments carried out by Luigi Galvani demonstrating the electrical properties of nerves, anatomical studies carried out by Paul Broca localizing the speech centers of the brain
Why is Interpersonal Neurobiology suitable for Addiction Counseling and Treatment? IPNB’s Definition and key aspects Our brain is in a state of constant change. Relationships shape neural net profiles. Mind is an “embodied and relational process that regulates the flow of energy and information” (Siegel, 2012). He further introduces a triangular model of human experience with mind, brain and relationships (Figure 1). This is the merit of the theory of Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB). Mind, Brain
I will be analyzing works from Zeki, Esch, Stephano, and Leona Lewis that demonstrate how love can affect one’s judgment. The authors show this to prove that one really can be blinded by the love they have for someone. The reading titled The Neurobiology of Love written by S. Zeki is an example of how biology and the need for evolutionary importance are closely related. This link correlates with love being an inhibitor of judgment because of how strong the need to be wanted is. When the need for
When a person thinks of neurobiology of their brain they often don’t connect it to politics and how it can polarize a person, but what if they were greatly connected in many ways? Few people see this connection between their brain and politics because it is not obvious, but may not agree with it and believe there is another and bigger cause to our polarization. They believe this cause is social media. Experts say polarization in America has become an underlying problem in due to the persuasive social

The neurobiology of sexual assault seminar video was presented by Dr. Rebecca Campbell. In the video, Dr. Campbell discussed the research on the neurobiology of trauma and the criminal justice system response to sexual assault. She explained the underlying neurobiology of traumatic events, its emotional and physical manifestation, and how these processes can impact the investigation and prosecution of sexual assault. Her current work, which is funded by the National Institute of Justice, focuses
It is so amazing that every bit of the person we are, how we behave, what we know, and so much more derives from an organ that we still know so little about. With my education, I want to leave UT as the biggest biology and neurobiology nerd out there. I want to know that the education that I have received is one that will allow me to make great leaps in the field of biological research and do meaningful and groundbreaking work. I intend to pursue a Masters and a Ph.D. after finishing
1. Substance Dualism Descartes supported a double meaning of "substance." In the first sense, substance is that which spends on itself or does not need something else to exist. In a second sense, substance is the subject from which a series of attributes or properties are preached or attributed. The first sense of substance responds to the problem of creation. In that sense, only God is a substance and "men are only by analogy". This sense of substance emphasizes the characteristics of self-sufficiency
I had a vague understanding of myself when I left high school, and an even vaguer understanding of why I didn’t succeed like I felt I could have. This is a fairly common predicament, if not the standard. I felt that I wouldn’t succeed if I moved on to college, so I waited. During this postponement I made spontaneous decisions trying to induce some considerable self discovery. Maybe, I thought, this vague understanding of myself would sharpen and then I would finally know what to do and how to succeed
behavioral consequences with underage alcohol use. Silveri is a highly decorated professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, who has been studying the neurobiology of brain development and consequences of alcohol and drug abuse using preclinical and clinical models for two decades. Her substantial background in psychology and neurobiology make her a highly credible source, and improves the author’s chance of making the point really stick. The article is easy to follow, and split up in subcategories
and describing the key differences between consolidating and encoding. Having been published in the AIMS Neuroscience journal, Ricker’s article is undoubtedly related to the specific discipline of neuroscience and its equivalent sub-discipline, neurobiology. Neuroscience is articulated to be the study of the nervous system (i.e. the brain, neurons and the spinal chord). After reading this article, it is evident that this study, aims to understand exactly how our brain functions and passes memory
The Quantum Brain: Theory or Myth? The study of neurobiology has long involved the actions and interactions among neurons and their synapses. Changes in concentrations of various ions carry impulses to and from the central nervous system and are responsible for all the information processed by the nervous system as a whole. This has been the prominent theory for many years, but, now, there is a new one to be reckoned with; the Quantum Brain Theory (QBT). Like many new theories, the QBT has merits
