Proprioception

The choroidal arteries are deep cerebral arteries that supply deep structures in the brain. The anterior choroidal artery is a branch of the internal carotid and it supplies the choroid plexus in the lateral ventricles, parts of the visual pathway, the putamen, the thalamus, and the hippocampus. The posterior choroidal artery is a branch of the posterior cerebral artery. It supplies blood to the choroid plexus of the third ventricle and parts of the thalamus and hippocampus. An occlusion of…

When I played soccer at Chemeketa, I sustained a significant injury to my foot in soccer. It was my freshmen year of college when I developed two stress fractures in my right foot. I was placed in a boot for a week. It was very hard for me to sit out and not be with my team. After determining the fractures wouldn’t get worse I was able to do limited practice and play in the games. It was very tough to deal with my teammates who didn’t think I should be playing in games because I wasn’t…

ChanMee Bae Psych 421 Take-Home Exam Total 40 points with 2 One-Point Extra Credit 1. Where are the soma of the receptor cells for the sensation located? (1pt) Dorsal root ganglion of the spinal cord. (Students should state the spinal cord to get the point) 2. The pain receptors are called “nociceptors”, named one of the subtype of the nociceptors, and what are the one of four differences in those receptors? (2pts) 1) Mechanical. Thermal. or Polymodal. 2) Morphology of the peripheral ending.…

board or ankle disc) is commonly used as one of the devices for rehabilitation program to facilitate neuromuscular control. Literature have shown that exercising under unstable condition can regain muscle activity [1–3], muscle onset latency [4], proprioception [5–7], and balance [8–10]. Although training with balance board can conduct by double or single leg, one- foot balancing is challenge and specific for unilateral lower limb injury. To study unipedal postural control during balancing on a…

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE My motivation to study machine perception is a long-term passion for mathematics, programming, and the human brain. Before knowing much about machine intelligence, my primary motivation was to take part and securing the first place in Bangladesh Mathematical Olympiad for three times. Following this achievement, I graduated in Electrical Engineering taking major classes on theoretical signal processing at Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. Additionally, I…

Walk-to-Dine program. Balance issues, impaired strength, and prolonged bedrest are a few things that will trigger residents to be screened before participation. Geriatric patients are at high risk for falls because of the decrease in strength, proprioception, poor balance, and slower reflex so the screening process is much more important in this population. During the screening process, if any difficulty with ambulation and/or transfers is shown to affect the resident’s ADL function and leads…

exercises initially, then isotonic exercises, keeping in mind the patient keeps a good cervical alignment and good posture throughout the exercises. Other important factors to consider as part of cervical spine rehabilitation is inclusion of proprioception and balance exercises to improve stability, correct posture and body mechanics (Houglum, 2017). It should be part of a long-term goal to regain functional capacity. Depending on the severity of the symptoms and if patient satisfies clinical…

In the two years since President Obama announced the BRAIN Initiative, much progress has begun. The application to which these integrative technologies to specific question-based projects will grow over the later years of the Initiative. Continued development of technology will be applied in the middle stages of the BRAIN Initiative as combinations of technology begin to emerge (Bargmann BRAIN 2025). An example of this combination of technology is when scientists combing advance genetic and…

Casa Malaparte was designed by Architect Adalberto Libera. It is located at 0073 Capri Metropolitan City of Naples, Italy which was designed for client, Curzio Malaparte. The structure contains spaces that are similar in shape and size of most homes. The rooms are squaredm but what makes the structure have an interesting circulation are the stepped levels of each floor. The Villa has stairs as wide as the whole structure which leads to the terrace. These stairs were designed to reduce vertigo…

Researching the correlation amongst brain anatomy and physiology is a primary pursuit of neuroscience. Simplistic in its composition the brain is astoundingly the most complicated machine known to man. This mass of protein and fat in addition to being responsible for maintaining homeostasis also encompasses attributes that not only make us unique, creative, empathetic, moreover human. Overview of structure & function The brain of humans is primarily composed of two general classes of…
