Sound may be heard through solid, liquid, or gaseous matter. [5] It is one of the traditional five senses ; partial or total inability to hear is called hearing loss . In humans and other vertebrates, hearing is performed primarily by the auditory system : mechanical waves , known as vibrations are detected by the ear and transduced into nerve ...
The ear canal (external acoustic meatus, external auditory meatus, EAM) is a pathway running from the outer ear to the middle ear.The adult human ear canal extends from the auricle to the eardrum and is about 2.5 centimetres (1 in) in length and 0.7 centimetres (0.3 in) in diameter.
Cognitive neuroscience is a branch of both neuroscience and psychology, overlapping with disciplines such as behavioral neuroscience, cognitive psychology, physiological psychology and affective neuroscience. [4] [2] [3] Cognitive neuroscience relies upon theories in cognitive science coupled with evidence from neurobiology, and computational ...
The emergence of psychology and behavioral neuroscience as legitimate sciences can be traced from the emergence of physiology from anatomy, particularly neuroanatomy. Physiologists conducted experiments on living organisms, a practice that was distrusted by the dominant anatomists of the 18th and 19th centuries.
In neuroscience and psychology, the term language center refers collectively to the areas of the brain which serve a particular function for speech processing and production. [1] Language is a core system that gives humans the capacity to solve difficult problems and provides them with a unique type of social interaction . [ 2 ]
Neural plate border specifiers are induced as a set of transcription factors. Distalless-5, PAX3 and PAX7 prevent the border region from becoming either neural plate or epidermis. [1] These induce a second set of transcription factors called neural crest specifiers, which cause cells to become neural crest cells.
Affective neuroscience is the study of how the brain processes emotions.This field combines neuroscience with the psychological study of personality, emotion, and mood. [1] The basis of emotions and what emotions are remains an issue of debate within the field of affective neuroscience.
1848 edition of American Phrenological Journal published by Fowlers & Wells, New York City. Phrenology, created by Franz Joseph Gall (1758–1828) and Johann Gaspar Spurzheim (1776–1832) and best known for the idea that one's personality could be determined by the variation of bumps on their skull, proposed that different regions in one's brain have different functions and may very well be ...
