Document Summary

Neuroanatomy: study related to structures of the nervous system. Neurophysiology: study related to functions of the nervous system. Neurolinguistics: study related to structures and functions of the nervous system which help with language skills. Psycholinguistics: study of cognitive processes which help in development, processing, and production of human language. Magnetic resonance imaging (mri): nonradioactive technique that helps in studying brain structures based on magnetic fields. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri): special type of mri where blood flow within the brain areas is studied in response to external stimuli. Dorsal= towards the surface of the back or top of head. Ventral= toward the surface of the chest or bottom of the head. Superior (or cranial)= above, farther from the ground. Inferior (or caudal)= below, closer to the ground. Sagittal plane= divides body into right and left. Transverse plane= divides body into superior and inferior. Coronal plane (aka horizontal)= divides the body into dorsal and ventral sections http://www. google. com/imgres?q=planes+of+body+movement&num=10&hl=en&gbv=2&biw=1044&bih=576&tbm=isch&tbnid=dos2ar5xzniz7m:&i.
