Blue Lives Matter-NYC Held its First Gala Honoring Fallen NYPD Members A local non-profit that transpired into a national campaign to help Law Enforcement Officers and their families during their time of need, held its first annual gala to honor the memory of recent fallen NYPD members. The event, held in Staten Island, brought together over 500 NYPD members, including families of fallen NYPD officers, Russell Timoshenko, WenJian Liu, Rafael Ramos, and recently killed Sgt. Paul Tuozzolo.…

My Hemispheres and Me Our brain’s two hemispheres look alike, but they have different function. This specialization of the right and left hemisphere is called lateralization. In the past scientists learned about this functional specialization of our brain by observing people with brain damage or injury and examining they brains after death. Today scientist have other methods. They can monitor brain waves, blood flow, or glucose consumption in the brain to find out which part of the brain is…

I was introduced to Cerebral Palsy twelve years ago when my mother married my stepfather Henry. They had met when they both were in a nursing home. I was irritated that my mom, who has her own mental problems was marrying a man who needed 24 hour care and didn’t have control over his personal executive functions. They both said they were in love and the wedding happened. It has been twelve years, they are still married, and my mother is the primary caregiver for my stepfather. I am in awe of my…

Dickinson, who grew up in a Puritan environment, rejected many core tenants of Christianity such as sin and damnation, and her idea of eternity greatly diverged from the typical materialistic view of Heaven. However, she also did not conform to the tenants of Transcendentalism as her emphasis on the incomprehensibility of one’s spirituality and after-life clashed with the traditional belief in the full participation and absolute knowledge of the universe. As witnessed in much of her poetry,…

The target population that I choose to focus upon are individuals with Cerebral Palsy, which approximately effects two per thousand children born (Duquette, Guiliano, Starmer, 2015). The first signs often tend to appear at nineteen months, or within the first five years depending on the mildness or severity of the condition, or the type of Cerebral Palsy (CP) (Duquette et al., 2015). These include pyramidal/spastic CP, the most common, and extrapyramidal/ non spastic CP (Duquette et al., 2015).…

Parietal Lobe: The parietal lobe is vital for sensory perception and integration, including the management of taste, hearing, sight, touch, and smell. It is home to the primary sensory area, a region where the brain interprets input from other areas of the body. Because of the parietal lobe’s role in sensory integration, spatial reasoning, and language skills, damage to the parietal lobe can have a broad range of consequences. Occipital Lobe: The main functions of the occipital lobe are vision,…

Lynston began receiving services at the Wendell Johnson Speech and Hearing Clinic in the spring of 2018 for a speech and language developmental delay disorder due to hearing loss. She attended therapy from 3/5/18 to 4/30/18 once a week for a total of four individual one-hour sessions during the contact period. Lynston’s mother cancelled one session due to bad weather. During the contact period, Lynston typically arrived on time to her sessions accompanied by her mother. She consistently arrived…

Answer Choice “D” is the best answer choice. This patient has findings on axial diffusion-weighted MRI, which show high signal activity in the cortex of the temporal lobes and insula, much more marked on the right. This finding is consistent with a diagnosis of herpes simplex encephalitis (HSVE). An MRI of the brain is the preferred imaging study in patients with suspected HSVE. Proton-density and T2 images may be more helpful than T1 images. An MRI can noninvasively establish many of the…

The prefrontal cortex is responsible for the capacity for representational memory, one part of the development of delayed response, and it depends on the maturation of the frontal cortex. Trauma victims, particularly children, usually have difficulty with those functions (van der Kolk, 2003). Excessive subcortical activation with decreased cortical inhibition combines to leave vulnerability in regards to the nature of incoming information. As children must develop ‘object permanence’ to modulate…

Neonatal Developing brain parcellated atlases Gilmore et. al. parcellated the brain of 74 neonates using anatomical expertise into 38 ROIs for the purpose of studying the gray matter growth and the asymmetry in the neonatal brain (131). In this study, the individual parcellation maps are used for comparison between individual brains. Gousias et. al designed a delineation protocol to manually parcellate the brains of 20 preterm and term neonates into 50 ROIs (132) based on macro-anatomical…
