Introduction: Syringomyelia arising from the expansion of the central canal located in the center of the medulla spinalis are rarely seen formations. The incidence is higher soon after Arnold Chiari Malformation and past spinal trauma. It may occur after the spinal cord is under the influence of external compression, when there are cord-related tumoral formations and after the cerebral spinal fluid, (CSF) dynamics in the central canal are disturbed. Although different theories have been described

The Teenage Brain Can even the most well respected children make poor choices in their lives? Truth is, every teenager has made at least one poor choice that has terribly affected them. However, parents expect their children to behave like adults but treat them like mindless children. Parents need to start understanding teenage behaviour rather than noticing them for their negativity. To begin with, “Inside The Teenage Brain,” claims that teenagers seem to want more without good reason: “ I cannot

According to the Handbook of Antisocial Behavior, an estimated 15% of the prison population suffers from psychopathy. The book includes that psychopathic individuals are 50% more likely to commit a violent crime than non psychopathic persons (Craig 946). The authors of the Handbook of Antisocial Behavior, David Stoff, James Breiling, and Jack Maser, all have doctorates in psychology and over 20 years of experience in research of mental illness. The high number of psychopathic criminals has spurred

your brain is the boss of your body. It runs the show and controls just about everything you do, even when you 're asleep. Not bad for something that looks like a big, wrinkly, gray sponge. Your brain has many different parts that work together. We 're going to talk about these five parts, which are key players on the brain team: cerebrum (say: suh-REE-brum) cerebellum (say: sair-uh-BELL-um) brain stem pituitary (say: puh-TOO-uh-ter-ee) gland hypothalamus (say: hy-po-THAL-uh-mus) The Biggest Part:

In American Football, quarterbacks throw the ball on the major axis, spirally to pass the ball to a person in a long distance. The quarterbacks increase precision and accuracy as they throw spiral because of two reasons. As the ball rotates until it reaches to the receiver, the ball is able to go through the air, instead of going against and blocks wind, which means that it stops wind from affecting it better than it being thrown in normal ways. The ball can experience this due to the moment of inertia

Music therapy is the clinical use of music to achieve individual goals and improve relationships; it is also considered a form of Psychotherapy (Music Therapy Medicine). Melodies and harmonies are used to transport patients to new and safe places. The sweet rhythms brings peace and relaxation to stressed minds. Self-worth is found between each melodic note, and anxiety and depression are long forgotten. Memories that were once lost are now found, and medication is improved by this one simple healing

"There is in every child at every stage a new miracle of vigorous unfolding." (Erik Erikson) Contrary to the outdated psychological models which promoted early childhood as the singular period of growth and change in an individual the influential developmental psychologist Eric Erikson’s "miracle" of "vigorous unfolding" quote provides a metaphor that can be understood as the potential for continued alteration of personality over a life time, however even from a life time development perspective

Introduction Psychological studies have found out that speaking several languages can have great benefits on learning, cognition, memory, task conducting and many many other . The brains of bilingual and multilingual people work in a different way than monolingual speakers and thanks to these differences for quite many mental benefits. The most interesting thing is that only people who are bilingual or multilingual can have these positive factors. not Unless you have spoken a foreign language, your

Known as the “little brain”, the cerebellum is a very important part of the brain and the human life. Not only does the cerebellum regulate and control motor movement, but it also is vital to learning motor behaviors. Balance, walking, the movements of speech, and fine motor skills are just a few of the necessities to human life the cerebellum controls. The cerebellum is located behind the pons and the upper part of the brain stem, and it sits right below the main part of the brain. The cerebellum

In this essay by using a provided case study I will discuss values and ethics within the healthcare profession. Values impact on how people live their lives and what they consider is right or wrong. Values are unique to a person they are crucial and become principles we follow for situations in our lives. Viktor Frankl believes we “discover meaning and values through the experience of our own and others suffering” (Frankl, 1978). The Nursing profession has a Nursing and Midwifery code to which they

Main premises standing behind the science of psychology is an explanation and differentiation between a normal and abnormal behaviour. The way how a society perceived and described the abnormal behaviour has been evaluating throughout the years. Although, these days, two of most popular models deserve a particular attention. The first one called the biological approach, believes that the abnormal behaviour has its source in a physical difficulties. Second one, the behaviourist approach assumes that

In the essay Consider the Lobster David Foster Wallace considers the socio-cultural, the agribusiness, and the eating practices built around animals taking the case of the lobster. Wallace himself confused between the morality and aesthetics of consuming animals admits that “the whole animal-cruelty-and-eating issue is not just complex, it is also uncomfortable” (62). Writing about the Maine Lobster Festival (MLF), he implores the reader to look beyond the “sun, fun, and fine food” with established

Significant challenges are posed due to the heterogeneous nature of AM, in capturing the correlation between its neuroanatomy and behaviour. Recently, researchers have become interested in the functional neuroanatomy of AM. In a study, Margaret et.al. used the effect-location method of meta-analysis to examine data from 24 functional imaging studies of Autobiographical Memory. The results showed that a core neural

By Jonas Wilson, Ing. Med. Anesthesiology The branch of medicine that is focused on the relief of pain in the perioperative period (i.e. before, during or after a surgical procedure) is known as anesthesiology. The medicaments administered are termed anesthesia and the doctor who is trained in this specialty is referred to as an anesthesiologist. However, terminology may vary depending on the country or continent. For instance, some locales may refer to anesthesiologists as anesthetists and the

In this book an asteroid is crashing into the Earth and causing a huge dust cloud in the atmosphere, annihilating the human race, but a few groups survive. Billy, a sixteen year old, and his team of 100 ten-year-old specialists orbit the Earth in a collection of space stations. He talks with a man named Professor Shepard (a seventy year old man there to guide Billy) about how he feels out of place around a bunch of geniuses and he’s not particularly smart. Professor Shepard explains to Billy that

Charles Richard Drew was born on June 3, 1904, in Washington, D.C (Charles Drew). He was an African-American doctor who created approaches to process and store blood plasma in "blood donation centers." He coordinated the blood plasma projects of the United States and Great Britain in World War II, however surrendered after a decision that the blood of African-Americans would be isolated. He passed on April 1, 1950. A spearheading African-American restorative specialist, Dr. Charles R. Drew made some

My future career goals is constantly expanding and evolving as my knowledge of the field of optometry continues to grow, but having recently taken Neuroanatomy this year, having shadowed Dr. Den Beste where I encountered patients suffering from neurological problems associated with the eye, and having spent time with my uncle who is undergoing extensive therapy having developed left homonymous hemianopia after suffering from a hemorrhagic stroke due to a ruptured aneurysm, I have become incredibly

Psychology is the science of behaviour and is concerned with perception and learning. The behavioural patterns of organisms and how they adapt to changing environments is of particular interest to psychologists. In the past psychology was based mainly on introspection. The assumption of early behaviourists, such as Pavlov, was that all behaviour was essentially of the same form (George, 1971). Humans are social animals, we share this feature with many other species (Gallese, 2001). Humans live in

Amnesia, as an organic clinical disorder caused by brain damages, refers to permanent disturbance of declarative memory despite preserved cognitive functions (Markowitsch, 2001; Moscovitch, 2004). Patients with anterograde amnesia (AA) consistently show different degrees of impairment in forming declarative memory, with normal implicit and working memory. Studying amnesia provides insights on cognitive and biological mechanism underling memory, and a representative model is vital for understanding
