What is it called when the left hemisphere of your brain controls movement on the right side of your body?
I suppose you could call it something like "contralateral motor control" but since it's not an unusual phenomenon (that's just how the brain and spinal cord are wired), there's not a particular non-highly-technical term for it.
Who created the name brain information?
who created the name of 'brain'
The optic nerves from the eyes cross before entering the brain the crossed structure is known as?
optic chiasm?
How does equilibrium information reach the brain?
The information of the equilibrium reach your brain via vestibulocochlear nerve. It is the eighth cranial nerve.
Information from balance receptors goes directly to the?
Information from balance receptors goes directly to the brain stem reflex centers.
What is meant contralateral information entering and leaving the brain?
lateral to each other.
What is a contralateral pathway?
A contralateral motor pathway is a neutral pathway located at the opposite side of the brain. It is on the eighth nerve of the cochlear nucleus.
Why might it be beneficial for the brain to be connected to the contralateral side of the body?
It is beneficial for the brain to be connected to the contralateral side of the body because of the position and connection to the brain that our eyes have. Since light from the right visual field strikes the left side of the eye and light from the left side strikes the right side of the eye, the connections (each eye predominantly connects to the same side of the brain though there are connections to both sides and information is transferred at the optic chiasm) allow visual information from the opposite side (both sides, but opposite is important for the answer) of the body to reach the brain. Being able to respond to information on the side of the body that the given hemisphere of the brain controls is key to an animals survival.
What is contralateral control in the brain?
A contralateral response is when a stimulus is sensed on one side of the spinal column, but the response and effectors of that stimulus occur on the opposite side of the spinal column. This is opposed to an ipsilateral response in which the stimulus and response are both on the same side of the spinal column
explain how substances are exchanged between the blood entering the nephron and the filtrate leaving the collecting duct?
You just broke my brain cells
What side of the motor area of the brain must give the command to move the right arm?
The left side. The contralateral side of the brain controls movement of the limbs.
What is contralateral neglect?
Contralateral neglect is a disturbance of the patient's ability to respond to stimuli on the side of the body opposite (contralateral) to the side of brain lesion, in the absence of simple sensory or motor deficits. Patients with contralateral neglect often behave as though the left side of their world does not exist and they often fail to appreciate that they have a problem. The disturbance is often associated with large lesions of the right posterior parietal lobe. In one example, Mrs. T acquired contralateral neglect following a massive stroke in the posterior portion of her right hemisphere.
Is the pupillary light reflex contralateral or ipsilateral?
The patellar reflex is ipsilateral. If the stimulus is applied to left knee cap, the left knee responds. On the other hand, if the right knee were to respond to a left knee stimulus, the response would be considered contralateral.
What is the medical term meaning the protective mechanism that blocks chemicals from entering brain tissue?
The blood brain barrier blocks chemicals from entering brain tissue.
What is closure in art?
Closure is leaving parts of an object open so the viewer can fill in the missing information. Such as when drawing something, you would focus on key points while leaving areas blank. The viewer will recognize the object and their brain will automatically fill in key information.
Which neuroglia would be most responsible for helping to prevent pathogens and toxins from entering the brain from the blood?
Astrocytes are most responsible for preventing pathogens and toxins from entering the brain through blood.
What path does the oxygen follow after entering the body?
After entering it takes the left pump after entering
