Learning and memory

Learning is defined as a relatively permanent and irreversible adaptive change in behavior. It always results from experience. The ability of an organism to store and recall the effects, sensations, and knowledge gained through learning and experience is called memory.

Please ASAP Thanks A 34-year old woman with a brain tumor was examined. With her eyes closed, she could not recognize a spoon placed in her right hand. However, on opening her eyes the patient immediately recognized it. The tumor is in the a.Superior parietal lobe b.Inferior temporal lobe c.Orbitomedial Cortex in the frontal lobe d.Occipital lobe
Identify the parts of a neuron or a brain that correspond to the given functions below. The parts are found inside the grid and loop these words either horizontally, vertically, diagonally or inversely. 1. controls the growth of a nerve cell 2. carry impulses or messages toward the cell body 3. carry messages away from the cell body 4. serves as the body’s life support system 5. coordinates muscle movement 6. responsible for mental processes 7. controls breathing, heart rate and swallowing 8. controls the movement of the eye 9. regulates breathing and helps control eye movement 10. serves as a relay station for senses
The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord. It kind of looks like a tail coming out the back. It includes three parts including the posterior-most _5__, the bulb-like _6__ and anterior-most _7__. This region of the brain contains centers for breathing and heart rate. It also serves as a relay station for nerve impulses traveling between the brain and the spinal cord.
A brain surgeon removed a piece of a woman’s skull and cut through all the meninges to reach the brain itself. Name all the layers that were cut, from skin to brain.
Brain Spinal Cord Cerebellum Nerves Neurons _1. It is the important organ that controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger, and every process that regulates our body. _2. It controls coordination and balance. _3. The pathway for messages sent by the brain to the body and from the body to the brain. _4. That act as information highways to carry signals between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body. 5. A specialized cell designed to transmit information to other nerve cells, muscle, or gland cells.
Grandma had a stroke near her central sulcus. She has speech loss and difficulty moving. Three weeks later, she is speaking and moving well. How is this possible________. 1.Synaptic plasticity allows the adult brain to be flexible and change. 2.She has muscle memory that allows her to move again without brain control. 3.A new separate area in the brain has formed through neurogenesis to control those actions that were lost. 4.The central sulcus relocated to another part of the brain that is functioning.

looking at the diagram in the picture which option would be correct and shortly say why. 1. Difficulty with reading and spatial perception can indicate damage to the: a. parietal lobe b.frontal lobe c.temporal lobe d.cerebellum
This question related to the topic of the brain There are several methods of treatment that are intended to correct some abnormalities that may occur as a result of injury, deficit, or other forms of disruption. So how does the neuron works, and how the brain and sensory systems communicate. If one were to choose a treatment, how would that particular treatment correct the issue? Some examples would be the spinal cord stimulator or the cochlear implant.
A patient has been experiencing numbness and pain in their hands and feet during the winter. They were initially diagnosed with Reynauds (which is caused by an overactive sympathetic nervous system cutting off blood flow to the hands in the cold), but recently they have been experiencing issues with fine motor control in their hands, and the doctor is concerned that it could be Multiple Sclerosis. How could you test to see which condition is causing this? Discuss that how will you treat this patient, if they have MS?
Watch this animation (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/braindevel) to examine the development of the brain, starting with the neural tube. As the anterior end of the neural tube develops, it enlarges into the primary vesicles that establish the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain. Those structures continue to develop throughout the rest of embryonic development and into adolescence. They are the basis of the structure of the fully developed adult brain. How would you describe the difference in the relative sizes of the three regions of the brain when comparing the early (25th embryonic day) brain and the adult brain?
In 2011, a young woman, Becky Forest, is brought into a small city hospital after having a bike wreck and sustaining a head injury. Becky does not seem to have sustained permanent damage, but the doctor wants to see an MRI of her brain to make sure. She reported feeling faint before the wreck, so the doctor also orders various blood tests. The nurse draws blood and sends it to a lab off site. The small hospital does not have an MRI machine, so Becky is transported to another hospital for the MRI and then taken back to the small hospital. The doctor admits Becky for overnight observation. How could electronic health records have ensured that everyone involved in Becky’s care has the most up-to-date information about her health? (500 words)
