Those with Parkinson disease suffer from a deterioration of neurons ethylated the neurotransmitter dopamine, which is vital for normal movement. This often leaves patients with severe mobility problems. Typical treatment embraces the drug I-dope, which substitutes dopamine in the brain but can cause side effects, and over long term use becomes ineffective. As is the case with all neurological diseases, the tissue that is destroyed […]

Figure 1: Overall Block Diagram The goal of this project is to provide you with a more practical hands-on approach to computer architecture design problems. The processor complex you will be designing is a 32-bit version of the MIPS processor; however, the instruction set will be a small subset of the actual MIPS ISA. You should implement the end to end operation of the complex […]

The working memory model is the part of the short term memory which is governed by the ‘central executive which monitors and coordinates the operation of the store systems; Phonological loop and visuo – spatial sketchpad. The phonological loop allows sounds to be stored for brief periods. The visuo spatial sketchpad allows visual and spatial information to be stored for brief periods. The two slave […]

It’s the reason why a person might forget to buy an item or two on a mental grocery […]

Loftus (1998) wrote an article on “The Price of Bad Memories” that leaves a room for doubt for people who are contemplating on seeking treatment and those who are already being treated […]
