Describe what pain is, how it is encoded, and how it is conveyed to the brain
Pain is an undesirable sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage. Pain signals are carried by two types of nerve fibers, A-delta and C fibers. The A-delta fiber caries the first, sharp pain. The C fiber conveys the dull, rhythmic pain that follows. The signals travel to reach the brain through the spinal cord through a dense array of nerve cells known as the dorsal horn, where the gate-control action takes place, either conveying or inhibiting pain signals. Nerve fibers throughout the body connect to the spinal cord. In the spinal cord, incoming messages can be amplified, dampened or blocked altogether. The pain we feel can be modified by chemical signals in the spinal cord and in the brain. Pain signals reach different parts of the brain. Some signals reach the part of the brain that controls spatial awareness. Which means where in the body a pain signal is coming from. Other signals travel to the part of the brain that generates and controls emotion. Pain signals also reach the hypothalamus, a part of the brain that controls sleep and temperature regulation.

How is the information for learning a language encoded in the brain? How is the memory of a new language learned stored in the brain? Which types of memory are needed in the activity (long-term, short-term, episodic, procedural, declarative, etc)? What structures of the brain are involved in creating a memory of new languages learned?

Describe pain according to your understanding of pain and how do people usually react toward pain?
this is about cognitive and mental health issues and brain injuries 5. Describe how acquired brain injury can affect the family.
Describe three current methods of studying the brain that leads to an understanding of what part of the brain influences particular behaviors. What is meant by "converging evidence"? Why is converging evidence the best kind of evidence in the study of brain function?
5. Describe how acquired brain injury can affect the family.
Describe psychological dependence, how it develops, and the hypothesized brain system (s) that work in an interdependent fashion to mediate it. how have brain stimulation reward studies in both humans and animals provided evidence for this interdependent? who were the first people to accidentally discover this system, and what were they actually studying and hoping to discover?
A) How is ‘risk self assessment’ performed for a business? B) Describe the ‘brain storming’ process. What is the importance of this procedure in risk identification?
We often describe our emotional reaction to social rejection as "pain." Does social rejection cause activity in areas of the brain that are known to be activated by physical pain? If it does, we really do experience social and physical pain in similar ways. Psychologists first included and then deliberately excluded individuals from a social activity while they measured changes in brain activity. After each activity, the subjects filled out questionnaires that assessed how excluded they felt. Here are data...

Describe how acquired brain injury can affect the family. 6. Describe how you would support a client with acquired brain Injury who demonstrated cognitive deficits as a result of their injury. Identify a minimum of 2 possible problems you might encounter and what positive intervention strategies you would use to help the...
