Cerebral hypoxia

RESEARCHER AS DETECTIVE: The aim of this study was to find out how parents who have children with cerebral palsy are managing their everyday life. All data is collected based on the interviewing parents where they expressed what works and what does not work for them in terms of medical care, therapies, and how they are able to meet the needs for their children but also for their families. EXTENDED FIELDWORK: Data for this study was collected over 10 months period. I am not sure that 10 months…

results; however, over ten percent of these people will still have aphasia at six months. While the clinical ways may take up to six months the non-clinical ways can take up to three months. For example, Transcranial magnetic stimulation of the cerebral hemisphere. This from a therapeutic stand point it allows the brain to more functional and morph able. (Marinescu 173) This study will be very valuable because it has mostly graphs of recovery times versus non- clinical and clinical processes.…

The corpus callosum is an area of the brain that connects the left and right hemispheres in order allow communication throughout different sections of a brain. This acts as the main communication pathway in order to coordinate different sections of the brain to perform various tasks. Proper development of this portion of the brain is vital to ensure that no major abnormalities may cause possible issues in longterm development. If it fails to develop by either not being able to grow properly or…

Therefore, it is being described as the conscious recall of facts and events (Eichenbaum, 1999; Maguire, Burgess & O’Keefe, 1999; Squire,…

The Localization of Brain Functions There are so many experiments to prove the theory of the brain, localization of brain functions.The main term that is about the theory is lateralization. Lateralization can be described as that localization of brain functions on the different parts of brain. Basicly, brain has two hemisphere, left and right. According to this, left hemisphere controls right side of the body, right hemisphere controls left side of the body. Both hemisphere have also some…

What exactly is something that would be considered as a “brain rule”? These rules include things, which scientists know for certain about how the human brain operates. The human brain is a fundamental, physical system that requires sleep, exercise and proper nutrition in order to function optimally. The body and the mind aren’t separate things; the human brain is a physical system which has needs that are physical. John Medina goes into detail in his book, “Brain Rules” about how an individual…

According to Dr.Gottfried Schlaug, associate professor of neurology and director of the Music and Neuroimaging Laboratory at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, “Neuroplasticity is the term for the brain’s ability to pave new pathways around damaged areas,”(Mossie). Due to this incredible ability that the brain has, Congresswoman Gabby Giffords relearned to talk within ten months of having a bullet wound to the head. Giffords suffered from aphasia- the inability to…
