Cerebral hemisphere

developmental disability know as cerebral palsy are as equally functional and capable as the rest of the world. they do the same things that we do, but lead lives in a different and more challenging way. Everyone in life has some sort of daily routine. we wake up, get ready for work or school, attend scheduled appointments, comes home to sleep to do it all over again the next day. Generally, most people are capable of doing things on their own, but with cerebral palsy, depending on the type of…

The frontal lobe is often the area of the brain that is damaged in motor vehicle accidents as well as sports accidents as it is placed in the front of the skull, an area that could be damaged due to its location. For example, in a motor vehicle accident if the head were to hit the windshield it would be the frontal lobe that hit first. The frontal lobe is responsible for multiple functions of the body such as emotions, motor capabilities and cognitive impairments meaning that if it is injured…

The Pedunculopontine nucleus (Pedunculopontine tegmental nucleus, PPTN) is considered one of the key elements of the reticular activating system (RAS)[1]. It is located in the mesencephalic tegmentum just caudal to the red nucleus and dorsal to the substantia nigra; Laterally it is surrounded by the medial lemniscus and medially by fibers of the superior cerebellar peduncle[2]. PPTN has a cluster of cells that exhibit a wide heterogeneity in terms of their neurochemical nature, their discharge…

“The beauty of standing up for your rights is others will see you standing up and stand up as well” is Cameron’s favorite quote by Cassandra Duffy, a quote that conveys just a bit of his kind perspective. Cameron Hondolero is a seventeen-year-old senior who grew up in the state of Washington, primarily in the city of Kent. He is of Filipino and American descent; his family consists of his parents and his older sister Josie, who plays a huge role in his life. He describes his family as “crazy and…

The Nervous system is one of the most important parts of the body. It connects all other organs to help them communicate together. This system is made up of the brain, the spinal cord, sensory organs, and nerves that connect organs together. When all of these parts work together, they have control of the body. The brain and the spinal cord are two major organs that make up the central nervous system. The nervous systems relationship with the other systems is giving them the right information…

Cerebral palsy is defined as “a neurologic condition caused by injury to the immature brain; it is characterized by a non-progressive disturbance of the motor system” (Webb, 2017, p.260). This neurologic disorder can be classified into three categories which are spastic, dyskinetic, and ataxia. There are many different causes of cerebral palsy that can occur prenatal, natal, or postnatal. Motor movement is an impairment that is most associated with this neurologic disorder. Some communication…

Some neurological defects like hydrocephaly, lissencephaly, partial agenesis of the corpus callosum are also reported with the Proteus syndrome. 112 It may cause paraspinal hamartoma. 110 Protuberance of the skull, 113 structural and functional asymmetry of the central nervous system, 114 hydrocephalus and mental retardation are also some features of proteus syndrome. 113 Epilepsy and ohtahara syndrome is diagnosed in children affected by Proteus syndrome associated with infantile spasms,…

The brain is one of the most important parts of my body and is made of 4 major parts called "lobe". The four major parts are: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. If there is a chance I have to sacrifice one of the four lobes to survive and live without one lobe, I will sacrifice my occipital lobe. There are some functions from both the frontal lobe and parietal lobe which originate my ability to walk, which I consider the worst for me to lose it. I couldn't not…

Task One Explain the functions of the following The Temporal Lobe The temporal lobe is placed in the base of the cortex behind the temples. It is one of the four exceeding lobes in the cerebral cortex. The temporal lobe develops sensory information. It controls select listening and the data collected from the ears. Sound and speech is also created here. The temporal lobe conceives significant speech, including sounds and pitches. Long term and visual memories are stored here. The temporal…

nervous system for most living things. There are only a few animals that do not have a brain like starfish or jellyfish. The brain is located in the head. It receives messages from other organs. The brain is the most complex organ. In a human, the cerebral cortex has more than a billion neurons. Each of these neurons are connected by synapses. These synapses are connected to several thousand other neurons. Neurons communicate with one another by sending messages through long fibers called…
