1. This observations takes place in the gym of LifeSteps between a Garrett and the Occupational Therapist (OT). Garrett is a 13-year-old boy who has been diagnosed with ADHD and anger problems. The OT and Garrett were sitting on the swing talking about how Garrett’s day at school was. He began by saying that he did not have a good day because of another kid named Chris. Garrett said that Chris was very annoying and that he didn’t like Chris at all. Garrett also stated that no one in the class…

The patient (pt) in room 584 is an 84-year-old Caucasian woman who was transferred to Lynchburg General hospital on December 12, 2016 from Stonewall hospital in Lexington in order to receive pulmonary care. Though she was admitted for unspecified dementia without behavioral disturbances, she was originally hospitalized at Stonewall since September 21, 2016 for atrial fibrillation with a low ventricular response rate, and dyspnea. She has co-morbidities of Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body…

The human body is a unique formation that represents how every component, whether it’s a chemical, cell, or organ all have an important role to have a healthy physiological and anatomical system. Dividing into which part of the body they control most, they create the organ systems that are the nervous, respiratory, articulatory, digestive, endocrine, and the cardiovascular system. The neurological, or the nervous, system is our control system that regulates impulses, chemicals, and commands to…

Norman Doidge did a remarkable job on his book, “The Brain’s Way of Healing: Remarkable Discoveries and Recoveries from the Frontiers of Neuroplasticity". This is definitely one of the best books I ever read. Once I picked it up it was hard to put down. It left an impact on the way I look at psychology at a whole, and I have a greater appreciation to the field. I always looked at psychology as a “pseudoscience” and that there is no real treatment. Before reading this book I did not know anything…

of the brain stem. However, recent fMRI and PET scan studies during swallowing have revealed numerous cortical areas also are involved in the regulation of swallowing, including the thalamus, sensorimotor cortex, supplemental motor cortex, insula, basal ganglia, putamen, globus pallidus, and anterior cingulate gyrus. In addition, several cranial nerves are involved in swallowing, including the trigeminal, facial, glossopharyngeal, vagus, and hypoglossal. Therefore, both the CNS and the PNS are…

Lewy bodies are certain cells that show signs of Parkinson’s. • Alpha-synuclein is inside Lewy bodies and researches think it has to do with Parkinson’s. It is important because all of the Lewy bodies that cannot be broken down have this protein inside of it. • Men and older people…

activity at the globus pallidus internus (Lundy-Ekman, 2013). The disease involves a change in the basal ganglia motor circuit. The motor circuit consists of sending output information to the cerebral cortex , pedunculopontine nucleus and the midbrain locomotor area. The direct pathway consists of the the substantia nigra via the nigrostriadal pathway sends dopamine cells that are excitatory to the globus pallidis internus . The globus pallidus is inhibited creating…

The second DNA sequence protein came out as alpha-synuclein which plays a role in Parkinson's disease. "Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that effects movement." (Mayo Clinic ) It effects the movement by making the body stiff or hard to move or to control. There are five different stages of Parkinson's disease. The first stage is the mildest form of Parkinson's disease, the symptoms are so minimal that they are often missed. Some of these symptoms in stage one…

The affect Parkinson’s disease plays in the body is troubling. It affects nearly one percent of the adult population over sixty years old. Each year in the Untied States, there are sixty thousand new cases alone. Close to one million Americans live with its disabling grip, this is more than the collective number of patients affected by multiple sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's disease and muscular dystrophy ("Statistics on Parkinson's"). Parkinson’s is a gradual disease that affects the central nervous…

“Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement,” Mayo Clinic states. The most common or distinguished sign of the disorder is a tremor. The tremor usually begins in one of the limbs, most often the hand (Mayo Clinic). Another sign of Parkinson’s disease is a change in one’s speech. Someone with Parkinson’s might talk fast, quiet, with a slur, or there might be a slight delay before they begin to speak. Also, having stiff muscles is another sign of the…
