1.Provide a script of a Clinical Psychologist's description to their patient with a trauma disorder (Acute or Post) in terms of the neuroscience features---what changes in their brain functioning may be occurring as a function of the condition.
What you are experiencing is called PTSD. When someone suffers a trauma, any type of trauma, the brain and body react. A trauma-related neuropathway is created that can be repeatedly reactivated, for some these changes pass in a few weeks, the disruption in mood or dreams does not last long. For others the symptoms can remain and start to interfere with day to day life.
There are three parts to the brain and in order they are called the reptilian (because it’s oldest), mammalian (that’s newer), and neomammalian (this is the bit that we do our cognitive …show more content…
A type of brain protein clumps together and causes damage with it’s fibrils and then causes solid deposits. In Alzheimer’s the proteins include amyloid-beta and tau but in others it can be other proteins. These deposits increase your risk and damage to the brain. Some treatments are being developed to look at addressing this aspect of Dementia.
2) Immune changes and inflammation have been shown to impact the brain’s health. We have microglia that manage our synaptic connections and cut the connections we don’t need, however these become more active as they age and can be overactive. Inflammation is known to trigger this response.
3) Issues in other body systems such as hi BP, CHD and diabetes can also increase the risk of dementia. Risk can be reduced by decreasing stress, and making healthy lifestyle changes.
4) Another neuroscientifically important issue with Dementia is the use of any drug that might supress AcetylCholine (ACh).These increase risk of dementia as they damage the synchronisation of the brain cells by deep brain nuclei, that use
