The modules that compute the speeds of incoming vehicles and tells you if you have time to cross without crashing into said vehicles. [7] The modules that cause parents to love and care for their children. [16] The libido modules. [17] Modules that specifically discern the movements of animals.

Neuronal correlates of cognitive functions are still intriguing questions for contemporary research. Non-invasive electrical and magnetic brain tissue stimulation targets a large area of poorly characterized tissue. Therefore, it is unclear whether electrical and magnetic fields reach only the neuronal networks of the brain that need treatment.
Historically, questions regarding the functional architecture of the mind have been divided into two different theories of the nature of the faculties. The first can be characterized as a horizontal view because it refers to mental processes as if they are interactions between faculties such as memory, imagination, judgement, and perception, which are not domain specific (e.g., a judgement ...
Some believed that stated that psychological disorders are caused by specific abnormalities of the brain and nervous system and that is, in principle, they should be approached for treatments in the same way as physical illness (arose from Hippocrates's ideas). [5] Psychotherapy is a relatively new method used in treatment of mental disorders.
The use of electronic and communication technologies as a therapeutic aid to healthcare practices is commonly referred to as telemedicine [1] or eHealth. [2] [3] [4] The use of such technologies as a supplement to mainstream therapies for mental disorders is an emerging mental health treatment field which, it is argued, could improve the accessibility, effectiveness and affordability of mental ...
The Bobath concept is an approach to neurological rehabilitation that is applied in patient assessment and treatment (such as with adults after stroke [1] or children with cerebral palsy [2]). The goal of applying the Bobath concept is to promote motor learning for efficient motor control in various environments, thereby improving participation ...
He noted that modularity is a matter of degrees, and that the brain is modular to the extent that it warrants studying it in regards to its functional specialization. [10] Although there are areas in the brain that are more specialized for cognitive processes than others, the nervous system also integrates and connects the information produced ...
Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) have been correlated to cognitive impairments, though it is not known if one is cause for the other. [3] [9] [10] Verdejo-Garcia et al. specifically indicate AUD and SUD patients display "deficits in reward and salience valuation, executive functions, and decision-making."
