Neurons explained pt. 1

Throughout life, certain parts of the brain, such as the hippocampus, can form new neurons through a process called neurogenesis.

Neuroplasticity

The result of this discovery was that if the axon of cell A fires repeatedly in close proximity to cell B that the strength of the connection will be increased therefore making it a successful link. Hence the term “neurons that fire together wire together”

Somatosensory System and Movement Pt. 2

Since everything we think and do are intimately woven, the parietal lobes are interconnected with the prefrontal cortex (where the motor cortex resides) and together these regions make up the highest order of movement integration in our body.

Somatosensory System and Movement Pt 1

The primary somatosensory cortex receives information from receptors, while the secondary somatosensory cortex processes and stores it. Injury or disease can affect either of these areas.
