Matzo and Sherman (2015 describe certain physical symptoms that become evident as an individual approaches end-of-life (EOL). Metabolism transformations in the body cause sleep…

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."

sensory experiences. Piaget believed that object permanence (child’s understanding that an object can still exist though it can’t be seen or heard) is the most important accomplishment. Piaget divided the sensorimotor stage into 6 sub-stages; simple reflexes, primary circular reactions, secondary circular reactions, coordinating secondary schemes, tertiary circular reactions, and symbolic…

What is the Mind-Brain Problem? Is the mind a part of the brain or an independent entity? This question has been an issue of disagreement for scientists and philosophers for several decades. Three separate groups including dualism, materialism (monism), and functionalism, each offer a unique position to the mind-brain problem (Brysbaert & Rastle, 2009).

stage is between the ages of birth and 2 years old. Therefore, at this time the infant is using their senses and motor actions in order to discover and comprehend the world around them.

As this stage comes to its end the individual can now use images and/or words within their thoughts. Overall, they now have the ability to evaluate a problem…

Cognitive Development is influenced by experiences, culture, chronological age, mental age. In my research of Constructivism/Cognitive Development I became enlightened by the theories of Piaget and Vygotsky, both constructivists who shared…

test can be used as an indicator of Parkinsonism. The test is based on a patient smelling a variety of odors, and then making a choice from a variety of answers. Testing of the autonomic system can involve examining breathing, examining heart rate, reflexes and thermoregulation. Throughout the years for a person with Parkinson’s disease the medication cost can be an average of $2,500 a year and therapeutic surgery can cost up to $100,000 per patient. With a direct and indirect cost that…
