Categorizing a common ancestry like eukaryotes and prokaryotes and back spine give us a common ancestry among homo sapiens. This is called “HOMOLOGOUS STRUCTURES.” Fins of fish, and Dolphin flippers are similar to each other but we know fins and flippers are deriving from completely different structures. Structures that are different because of convergent evolution are referred to as “ANALOGOUS STRUCTURES.”    Evidence in keeping records of similar structures and how they converged evolutionarily as analogous and homologous structures due…

Sensory functions are to help sensory systems gather information from the environment as stimulants through the activity of specialized cells called “Sensory Receptors,” like taste cells, or olfactory cells for smelling pine trees, and that are a particular kind of cell to detect a particular kind of stimuli. The example: two different systems respond to two different stimuli, smell and taste. Olfactory receptor cells respond to the smell of a lemon, and taste receptor cells respond to the taste of…

Before reading any of my work since 2014, I want to say to the reader, “How easily we forget.” If I were to list off the corruption since 2014, and the lack of charges, it would curl your hair from the read. Now here are my credentials. I have studied Science and mainly in the health and history areas, such as Anthropology, and human health for over 40 years today. I walked away from University, because they were unaware they…

My acetycholine neurotransmitters that play an important role in learning,  but also in memory areas of my brain as you have read in previous articles. The  cerebellum, the amygdala, the hypothalamus, the thalamus, vision areas, auditory areas, olfactory areas, taste areas, and touch, then all the muscle movement involved with the Central Nervous system, the Autonomous Nervous system, the frontal cortex, the executive function, the somatasensory systems, the reticular formation both down from up and up from down, with the…

Memory is a broad term used to refer to a number of different brain functions. The common feature of these functions is the creation of part experiences by the synchronized firings of neurons that were involved in experiences.  What is memory? A memory may be the ability to read a poem or recognize a face on demand, a vague vision of  some long past event, the skill required to ride a bike or the knowledge that your car keys are…

Emotions and Intentions; Emotions, feelings, Hans Selye, flight, fright, freeze and and recently “appease,” the human brain systems and all it’s beauty, and the disrespect shown toward the human in war, in economics, in political realms, that continue to not understand the need of the individual hybrid,  is an emotional state causing one to wonder, on one side of the coin, and horror on the other side of the coin, and every emotion in betwixt. Example; Hamas, Israel, Palestine, Iran,…

Good Morning from Carolyn d Hogarth’s from my Paid for site on Hostgator. Word Press is the word editor,  I am using and I pay for this site to be able to write about the beauty of the Brain. Thank you.  Have a great laugh with me, and “mimicking neurons.” Remember who is writing this, a Ouelette/Cardinal person part of the French/ Acadian group thrown out of Canada for marrying for love, so I am a romantic about life. I…

The Unconscious action and reaction pathways, of our attention, body behaviour and long term unconscious memories; Lets look at action plans of sending signals and conscious and unconscious starts, and movement memory, for limb control. The “reticulospinal tract” helps control balance and neutralizes the effects of gravity. Unconscious Action; The brain registers events via the sense organs almost immediately,  but it takes up to half a second to become conscious of them in order to generate effective responses in a…

Movements of Acton are planned either consciously or unconsciously, or  intuitively,  and these types of planning can be complex actions,  or will look very much like all planned movement is initiated in a different area from the unconscious movements, and the more skilled we are,  at making particular movements,  the less likely a requirement of consciousness. What is the difference between conscious and unconscious movements?”  Movements; Many of our actions are conscious like thinking about parking, or about picking up…

The brain maintains the stable internal environment as homeostatic and regulation by action signals and messaging. Neural control canters in the brain influence body glands to produce and release hormones needed to maintain a synchronized balance.  So we know that the whole system of our body’s state of stability,  in the internal state of homeostasis,  is extremely important for the balanced system in the brain to work with internal environments,  and external environments that we exist with.  Through the actions…
