The brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system. The brain consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. It controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sense organs, and making ...
Body memory ( BM) is a hypothesis that the body itself is capable of storing memories, as opposed to only the brain. While experiments have demonstrated the possibility of cellular memory [ 1] there are currently no known means by which tissues other than the brain would be capable of storing memories. [ 2][ 3] Modern usage of BM tends to frame ...
Stanislavski's system is a systematic approach to training actors that the Russian theatre practitioner Konstantin Stanislavski developed in the first half of the twentieth century. His system cultivates what he calls the "art of experiencing" (with which he contrasts the "art of representation"). [ 2]
The T-cell receptor complex with TCR-α and TCR-β chains, CD3 and ζ-chain accessory molecules. Superantigens ( SAgs) are a class of antigens that result in excessive activation of the immune system. Specifically they cause non-specific activation of T-cells resulting in polyclonal T cell activation and massive cytokine release.
Trochlear nerve (cranial nerve 4) – eye rotation. Trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve 5) – sensation from the face and certain motor functions such as biting and chewing. Abducens nerve (cranial nerve 6) – certain eye rotation. Facial nerve (cranial nerve 7) – facial expression and taste sensations from the tongue.
Suprachiasmatic nucleus. The suprachiasmatic nucleus or nuclei ( SCN) is a small region of the brain in the hypothalamus, situated directly above the optic chiasm. It is the principal circadian pacemaker in mammals, responsible for generating circadian rhythms. [ 1][ 2] Reception of light inputs from photosensitive retinal ganglion cells allow ...
An essential aspect of episodic memory includes date and time encoding in the subject's past. For such processing, the details surrounding the memory (where, when, and with whom the experience took place) must be preserved and are necessary for an episodic memory to form, otherwise the memory would be semantic. For instance, one may possess an ...
Muscle memory is a form of procedural memory that involves consolidating a specific motor task into memory through repetition, which has been used synonymously with motor learning. When a movement is repeated over time, the brain creates a long-term muscle memory for that task, eventually allowing it to be performed with little to no conscious ...
