stress the adrenal glands secrete epinephrine , which is also known as adrenaline (S-cool, 2011) and other stress hormones, like cortisol which is used for long term flight or fight. Adrenaline activates the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) (Plesman & Nutr, Anxiety and the Autonomic Nervous System, 2011). The SNS can then cause anhedonia, which is an inability to feel any pleasure, increased pupil dilation, increased focus, shaking, trembling, dizziness, nausea , fear of vomiting, restless legs, excessive…

is processed in the right hemisphere. The primary cortex that is involved is the primary auditory cortex. The right auditory cortex is involved with processing the music that John was hearing.

Some people only use one side of their brain Axon – a fiber which leaves the cell body. The neurons in your body are far out numbered by galile cells. The galile cells are of many different types. There are some that provide the “skeleton” for the nervous system. There are others that rid the brain of certain chemicals. There are others that wrap themselves around axons. Axons which are coated with nilon sheet are capable of conducting nerve impulses much more rapidly. In the axon, the nerve is sort…

of analysis incorporates physiological explanations, such as the effect of nerves and hormones on behaviour. According to biological psychologists, behaviour is controlled by the nervous system, which consists of the central nervous system (the brain and the spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (the surrounding nerves), which itself includes the autonomic nervous system that controls automatic processes such as heart rate and the fight or flight syndrome. Within the central nervous system…

processes is reached mostly through peering into the nervous system of various creatures, including human beings. Such efforts reside mostly in the field of neuroscience. The study of the nervous system dates back to Ancient Egypt, in which the surgical procedure of trepanation was prevalent. Some manuscripts indicate that they had some knowledge of the symptoms of brain damage. These studies have now evolved to allow us to study the nervous system in all of its aspects. As of today,…

those being the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The Central Nervous System (CNS for short) is made up of the brain and the spinal cord. It processes many different kinds of incoming sensory information. It is the primary source of thoughts, emotions, and memories. The majority of the nerve impulses that cause the stimulation of the muscles leading to contraction and glands’ secretion originate from the CNS. The second part of the nervous system is the Peripheral Nervous System…
