Science Summary: Brain Processes

Human brain can turn things personal and objective. The brain turns them into a standard code that objectively symbolize emotions. A researcher name Anderson, associate professor of human development in Cornell's college of human Ecology senior author who says " We discovered that fine- grained patterns of neural activity within the orbitofrontal cortex, an area of the brain associated with emotional processing, act as a neural code which captures an individual's subjective feeling" (study...brain processes emotions). Anderson and his team gathered different kinds of pictures during functional neuroimaging. Then they examine the brain in activation order. Anderson's crew establish that the valence was illustrate as sensory. Anderson says that our brain uses standard code to speak the same spiritual language. "Their finding provide insight into how the brain represents our innermost feeling-what Anderson cells the last frontier of neuroscience and upend the long-held view that emotions is represented in the brain" (study...brain processes emotion). The brain structures are grouped into three different part such as : the Hindbrain, the Midbrain and the Forebrain. The Hindbrain known as Brainstem and it control the heart rate, respiration and the blood pressure. Brainstem handle the critical functions. On the other hand, Midbrain connected between the Hindbrain and the Forebrain. The brain involved in emotional expression, memory and motivation ( textbook, Pg. 45-48).
