Question
Chapter 27, Problem 6SQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: How a person can be able to live in a nonresponsive state in which the cerebral cortex is damaged.
Concept introduction:
Human brain consists of up to 100 billion complicatedly organized neurons. Anatomically, the brain consists of three major parts namely the forebrain, midbrain, and hind brain. The mid brain, pons, and medulla oblongata are together called as the brain stem.

imagine that you are a neurologist. A patient has come to you with a cognitive deficit in their ability to name objects. Describe a brain activity recording technique you would use (e.g., PET, fMRI) and the brain area you would focus on (e.g., occipital lobe, temporal lobe) to determine if they have brain damage in an area that is important for this ability. You must name and describe the specific recording technique.
Can any one help me with this ? I am making notes on diagrams. I want someone to describe given figure in details with step by step manner.
please make two step
First step - short description
Second step - long description
A concussion is a common sports-related injury involving the brain. Concussions occur when the
brain is injured by a jolt or a hit. A number of symptoms can occur based on the affected areas of
the brain.
Some Areas of the Human Brain
1. Cerebellum
2. Frontal lobe
3. Parietal lobe
4. Occipital lobe
5. Temporal lobe
6. Hypothalamus

Thank you Q1: The prefrontal lobotomy is a drastic—and largely out of-practice—procedure used to disconnect that portion of the cerebral cortex from the rest of the frontal lobe and the diencephalon as a psychiatric therapy. What is the normal function of this part of the brain? Why would this have been thought necessary for someone with a potentially uncontrollable behavior? Q2:arrow_forwardOne week after having a stroke, a patient's muscle strength is assessed. It is determined that they have left-sided weakness.

- After nearly four decades of clinical practice, pronouncing death by neurological criteria has gained near-universal acceptance among clinicians as well as widespread public acceptance, despite a growing number of cases involving families who reject or distrust the diagnosis of "brain death." Select one: True Falsearrow_forwardThe “big portion of the brain” that the narrator highlights first is the __1__. This area is responsible for higher mental functions. Notice that there are visible folds (“bumps and grooves”) on this structure. Each elevated bump is called a __2_ while each shallow groove is called a __3_. Located at the “back of the brain” is the __4_____. In the longitudinal cut you are looking at, you’ll notice that it has an internal, tree-like pattern called arbor vitae. This part of the brain coordinates equilibrium and motor activity to produce smooth, controlled movements. 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.
