the forebrain‚ the hindbrain‚ and the limbic system. The forebrain is the largest part of the brain and includes the cerebral hemisphere. The cerebral hemisphere is divided into four lobes‚ the limbic system‚ the thalamus‚ hypothalamus and the corpus callosum. The forebrain controls the motor functions‚ sensory functions‚ emotional expressions‚ and cognition. Delusional ideas‚ which are a symptom of schizophrenia‚ are created in the frontal lobe. The frontal lobe is also where the overstimulation of

Traumatic Brain Injury Traumatic brain injury‚ also called acquired brain injury or simply head injury‚ is a result of a sudden blow to the head when an external force is applied causing a disruption of the physiological stability of the brain locally. It can also occur when an object pierces the skull and enters the brain tissue and when elevation in the intracranial pressure occurs and potentially dramatic changes in the blood flow within and to the brain. These changes may produce a diminished

PHYSIOLOGICAL PSYCHOLOGY Physiological psychology focuses on the relationship between our biological makeup and our behaviour and experiences. This area of psychology can be very convincing. For example we do know that the structure of our nervous system (including our brains) and the action of chemicals can have an effect on our behaviour. Some physiological psychologists take a reductionist argument to answer the above question. That is‚ they argue that behaviour and experiences can

The Brain and Reflex Behaviors The growth of the brain is a lifelong process fundamental to physical‚ cognitive‚ and emotional development. Building of the brain The functions of the brain and the reflexes derive from the central nervous system. The central nervous system is located in the brain and the spinal cord‚ which is a bundle of nerves running through the backbone. The nervous cord in spine then branches out into a peripheral network of nerves extending to every part of the body
