AbstractAlthough meta-analytic neuroimaging studies demonstrate a relative lack of specificity in the brain, this evidence may be the result of limits inherent to these types of studies. From this perspective, we review recent findings that suggest that brain function is most appropriately categorized according to the computational capacity of each brain system, rather than the specific task states that elicit its activity.

Background. Patients with schizophrenia have an impaired ability to generate activity that is appropriate to current circumstances and goals.Method. We report a study using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine cerebral activity during a three-tone auditory oddball target detection task in a sample of 28 patients with schizophrenia and 28 healthy controls.Results. The patients exhibited significantly less activation in response to target stimuli relative to baseline in an extensive set of sites in association neocortex, paralimbic cortex, limbic structures and subcortical nuclei, yet demonstrated a normal level of activation in the sensorimotor cortex. Comparison of activity elicited by rare target stimuli with that elicited by equally rare novel stimuli makes it possible to distinguish cerebral activity associated with attention to behaviourally salient stimuli from activity associated with attending to other attention-capturing stimuli. This comparison revealed that the patients with schizophrenia also exhibited a deficit in activation of basal forebrain areas that mediate motivation during the processing of behaviourally salient stimuli, including the amygdala, ventral striatum, orbital frontal cortex and rostral anterior cingulate cortex.Conclusion. Patients with schizophrenia have a deficit in function of the brain system concerned with mediating motivation, in addition to a more general deficit in the cerebral response to attention-captivating stimuli.

Our brain is constructed of modules, which share brain functions and work through stimulus from outside by cooperating and competing with each other. By analogizing the brain system, construction methods of artificial multi-module networks have been proposed. The authors have proposed a 2-layer associative memory network consisting of a pattern layer and a symbol layer. This paper presents a construction method for a multimodule network using the 2-layer models. We examine the association of facial patterns by the network.

Elderly is a condition that will be experienced by each people, where the age range is from 45 to 75 years. The process adds up age followed also by changes that occur in body systems either physiologically or pathologically in the presence of comorbidities. One of the processes that occurs is function cerebellum descends by starting with a balance disturbance and then the brain system, resulting in the risk of falling. Elderly experiencing falls can be affected by some things such as disorders of the brain system, self it self and the environment. A part from anatomical factors, there is also a lighting environment usually the elderly always wake up at night, if the environment is less lighting then the risk of falling is higher and if the condition of waking up, the concentration and muscle power cannot be optimal, resulting in decreased balance so that the risk of falling is higher. One way to maintain and minimize the risk can be done the core stability exercise. Benefits of core stability exercise is to strengthen the core as the support of the body so that the body can be stable. This type of research is experiment, using quasi experimental design with pre test and post test group design. The statistic test using Wilcoxon test. Sample of elderly at integrated healthcare center in Ngebel, totaled are 34 elderly. Elderly sample criteria age 60-74 years, do not use assistive devices and do not experience neurological disorders. Measure morse fall skale. The results of the homogeneity test show that the significance value (p) core stability exercise of 0.323, because of the significance of p 0.05 it can be concluded that the population is from the same variant or homogeneous. The calculation of the data normality test used the Shapiro-Wilk Test and is said to be normal if p 0, 05. Data normality test results 0.085. Hypothesis Test with willcoxon test because it has a normal and homogeneous data distribution in the group. From the test results obtained with a value of P = 0.034, meaning P 0, 05, so that there is an effect of core stability training on the risk of falling in the elderly.

Abstract: Human brain contains 100 billions of nerve cells which have a complex function as the control center of all human activities. Related to the brain function, neuroscience emerges, focusing on the nervous system especially the neuron cells. The neuroscience has also significant interest in the relation of human to God. Spirituality refers to things that deal with the spirit or soul, and not attributable to physical nature. Its material consists of two variables: spirituality and domination of the brain. Indonesia Spiritual Health Assessment (ISHA) is an assessment based on the concept of theoretical spirituality. ISHA has three components, namely spiritual health item, examination the brain system assessment, and neurofeedback. This study aimed to obtain the relation of brain with human spirituality in the performance of religion leaders in middle Halmahera. This was a descriptive study with a cross sectional design. Samples were 55 religion leaders. The Spearman correlation test showed a value of sig > α with a significance of 0,05. The analytical results showed that the correlation between the limbic system and ritual 0.806; between the prefrontal cortex and the meaning of life 0.833; and between the prefrontal cortex and spiritual experience 0.091. Conclusion: There was no correlation between brain performance and spirituality of the religion leaders in middle Halmahera. Keywords: brain, neuroscience, spirituality, ISHA     Abstrak: Otak manusia tersusun oleh sekitar 100 miliar sel neuron dengan fungsi kompleks sebagai pusat pengendali seluruh aktivitas manusia.
