- Behavior and social problems also can be an indirect result of a brain injury. Dif­ficulties in paying attention, staying on task, and predicting the consequences of actions may be associated with behavior problems when caregivers expect preinjury levels of performance (Ylvisaker et al., 1998).

The Cognative and Behavioral Effects of Nicotine: An Argument for Brain=Behavior Professor Gaylord Ellison in the department of psychology at UCLA, while testing the effects of drugs on rats found that nicotine is destructive to the part of the brain (called the fasciculus retroflexus) that determines the levels of dopamine and seretonin in an organism.

Frontal Lobes The frontal lobes are also thought to play a part in our spatial orientation, including our body's orientation in space (Semmes et al., 1963). One of the most common effects of frontal damage can be a dramatic change in social behavior. A person's personality can undergo significant changes after an injury to the frontal lobes, especially when both lobes are involved. There are some differences in the left versus right frontal lobes in this area.

Savanna Habitat ANIMALS: There are many different types of animals that live in the savanna. The species found in savannas vary by the geographic location of the biome. Animals native to African savannas include African elephants, zebras, horses, and giraffes.Many animals in the savanna are herbivores, which means they eat plants, and there is plenty of grass in the savanna.nimals native to African savannas include African elephants, zebras, horses, and giraffes.

Brain Structure and Function The frontal lobes are involved with behavior output (including cognitive and social behaviors, as well as movement). This brain region is often affected by traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), particularly those caused by acceleration-deceleration forces that occur in motor vehicle accidents (MVAs).

Understanding TBI: Part 2 - Brain injury impact on individuals functioning The brain is the control center for all human activity, including vital processes (breathing and moving) as well as thinking, judgment, and emotional reactions. Understanding how different parts of the brain work helps us understand how injury affects a person's abilities and behaviors.his causes changes in the person's behavior and abilities. The injury may cause different problems, depending upon which parts of the brain were damaged most. There are three general types of problems that can happen after TBI: physical, cognitive and emotional/ behavioral problems.

Frontal Lobe Damage: When the Leader Canât Lead 1 Interruption to the work of the frontal lobe is common in brain injury of any type. 2  Damage can occur whether the damage is to the front lobe directly, or to another lobe in the brain.  Frontal lobe damage can cause a wide range of difficulties because it controls much of what the brain does.

Single concussion can cause lasting damage to the brain, study finds Mind and Body. Single concussion can cause lasting damage to the brain, study finds. A single concussion, one of the most common forms of traumatic brain injury in the United States, may have a lasting impact on the brain, resulting in long-term structural damage.

After Brain Injury: The Dark Side of Personality Change Part I Psychiatric issues after brain injury. Brain injury can also contribute to psychiatric issues including depression, severe anxiety, substance abuse, or obsessive compulsive disorder. Some survivors experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a consequence of the circumstances and medical events that caused the brain injury.

The Effects of âWhite Matterâ in the Brain The hypothesis suggests that white matter lesions may lead to disrupted structural connectivity within the brain along what are known as neural “tracks.” These disruptions could then lead to functional deficits, in turn contributing to behavioral impairments.

Consequences of Intoxication on Brain Structure & Function In addition to the toxic effects of frequent high levels of alcohol intake, alcohol related diseases and head injuries (due to falls, fights, motor vehicle accidents, etc.) also contribute. Although changes in brain structure may be gradual, performance deficits appear abruptly.

- One of the ways that scientists have searched for the causes of mental illness is by studying the development of the brain from birth to adulthood. Powerful new technologies have enabled them to track the growth of the brain and to investigate the connections between brain function, development, and behavior.y studying how the circuitry of the brain develops, scientists hope to identify when and for what reasons development goes off track. Brain imaging studies have revealed distinctive variations in growth patterns of brain tissue in youth who show signs of conditions affecting mental health.

Brain Structure and Function If the right side of the brain is damaged, movement of the left arm and leg, vision on the left, and/or hearing in the left ear may be affected. Injury to the left side of the brain affects speech and movement on the right side of the body. Each half of the brain is divided into main functional sections, called lobes. There are four lobes in each half of the brain: the Frontal Lobe, Temporal Lobe, Parietal Lobe, and Occipital Lobe.

Brain Disorders When your brain is damaged, it can affect many different things, including your memory, your sensation, and even your personality. Brain disorders include any conditions or disabilities that affect your brain. This includes those conditions that are caused by illness, genetics, or traumatic injury.

Brain Damage: Symptoms, Causes, Treatments In this article. Brain damage is an injury that causes the destruction or deterioration of brain cells. In the U.S., every year, about 2.6 million people have some type of brain injury -- whether as a result of trauma, stroke, tumor, or other illnesses, according to the Brain Injury Association of America.

- The amygdala in humans is the brain structure which has been linked to aggressive behavior. Aggressive behavior is genetically influenced: By selective breeding, aggressive and passive strains of mice can be created (Lagerspetz, 1979) Blood chemistry can contribute to aggressive behavior.

What Happens Immediately After the Injury? Its existence is very clear, however, in the widespread effects it has on the individual's functioning. In sum, after a closed head injury, damage can occur both in specific brain areas (due to bruising and bleeding) and also be found throughout the brain (due to stretched or destroyed axons).

Understanding Behavior and the Brain through Parkinson's Disease The brain also makes Dopamine, which makes people more talkative and excitable. It affects brain processes that control movement, emotional response, and ability to experience pleasure and pain. All of these chemicals are natural chemicals that affect our bodily processes.

- FRONTAL LOBES—The brain’s frontal lobes are important for planning, forming ideas, making decisions, and using self-control. When alcohol affects the frontal lobes of the brain, a person may find it hard to control his or her emotions and urges. The person may act without thinking or may even become violent. Drinking alcohol over a long period of time can damage the frontal lobes forever.
