What is viscera?
This imaging technique allows direct imaging of the brain, good contract and resolution, but is better for bones. Is often referred to being cheap and fast and does not disrupt other mechanical tools. Does distort dense bone.
What is a CT or Cat School?
This imaging technique is used to measure brain waves using electrodes attached to the skull.
What is an Electroencephalogram EEG?
This principle is described that although the brain is very complicated, it does not discriminate based on gender, race, ethnicity, color, or anything else.
What is Nonmythical Brain?
This principle has 3 ideas:
- Bilateral anatomic asymmetry. That each side of the brain has different structures.
- Unilateral functional differences. Meaning the right hemisphere is for art and music while the left is more language.
- Contralateral sensorimotor control of the CNS. What I feel not he right side, is being processed by the left side of the brain.
What is laterality?
Is described as not having a big enough electrical difference between the inside and out side of the cell.
What is graded potential?
Mainly used to study soft tissues and provides different angles. This technique involves magnets but does not involve radiation. Don't forget to take your earrings out.
What is an MRI?
This imagine technique requires radiation. The radiation is used by injecting radiation into an arm vein and then is absorbed by organs and tissues. Great resolution, it is quick, and tests blood, neurotransmitters, oxygen and glucose levels.
What is a PET scan?
This principle is described by the process of traveling up the Central Nervous System, it becomes more complex and less developed. The Spinal cord is the first developed and the least complex. The frontal lobe is the most complexed and least likely to be fully developed by our peers.
What is the hierarchy of neuraxial organization?
This principle is the constant interaction between the sensory and motor regions of the brain.
What is interconnectivity in the brain?
Is a single long process from the cell body. Comes off the cell body at an elevation.
What is the axon hillock?
This imaging technique is described as fast and takes images in real time. Is used to look at blood flow and track locations of blood volume. But it only tracks a slice of the brain.
What is a fMRI?
This imagine technique was developed in the 90's. requires doses of radiation. Is used to study cerebral blood flow and images are used to study how organs work.
What is a SPECT?
This principle is the ability to learn new things, which it's learned or because that area was damaged.
What is plasticity of the brain?
This principle is responsible for receiving, sending, and responding to information.
What is centrality of the Central Nervous System?
A group of cell bodies in the PNS.
What is a ganglion?
This imaging technique is a short, non-invasive imaging. Similar to the MRI, this technique looks at water diffusion in the tissues. The images provide fiber orientation,axonal density, and myelination.
What is DTI (Diffusion Tensor Imaging)?
This principle is described by specialized cells in the CNS to preform specific functions.
What is structural and functional specialization?
This principle is the specialized cells and pathways reflect the special relationship with each muscle group. fingers vs. quads.
What is topographical organization in cortical pathways?
Is described how structures change over time due to evolution.
What is phylogeny?
