Cerebral Palsy is the choice of research I chose. It is a disorder of the nervous system that targets the muscle tone‚ movement‚ and other motor skills. I chose to do my research on this particular subject to familiarize myself of some of the symptoms and causes‚ but mostly because my great niece was diagnosed with the disorder about 3 years ago. Throughout this research paper you will notice the causes‚ diagnoses‚ the different types of cerebral palsy‚ how to evaluate‚ the symptoms‚ and treatments

Cerebral Palsy is defined as a condition marked by impaired muscle coordination (spastic paralysis) and/or other disabilities‚ typically caused by damage to the brain before or at birth. Although Cerebral palsy is not contagious‚ a person can intentionally or unintentionally increase the possibility a child will develop Cerebral Palsy through abuse‚ medical malpractice‚ negligence‚ or the spread of a bacterial or viral infection (Stern‚ 2017). Cerebral palsy was first introduced in the mid 1800’s

Psy-101-22 W Professor Kulpa6/16/2014 The Brain Neuroscientists have proven that the activity in the brain is altered when an individual is subject to extremely stressful or exciting circumstances. In the documentary multiple unique qualities of the brain are explored‚ studied‚ and tested to determine how we can benefit from understanding the functions of the brain. Learning about the fundamentals of the brain in the text made understanding the procedures our brain undergoes to process information‚ react

Cerebral palsy CP is a disorder of aberrant control of movement and posture‚ appearing early in life secondary to a CNS lesion or dysfunction that is NOT a result of a progressive or degenerative brain disease. In other words‚ CP is caused by a static brain dysfunction (also called static encephalopathy). It is believed that CP is due to a defect in a developing brain‚ a lesion that may have had its onset in prenatal‚ perinatal‚ or postnatal period. Thus‚ causes of CP may be manifold.

Phineas Gage Paper The layout of the brain is more complex than what can see by the human eye. The creation of Neuroscience helped divide the brain into portions and their functions. This sectioning of the brain and the individual functions was proved furthered when the case of Phineas Gage was examined. Role of the Brain in Cognitive Functions The brain is comprised of two hemispheres or halves: the left and the right ("Brain Functions"‚ 2010). The left side of the body is controlled

prefrontal cortex begins to develop around the age of three‚ and fully forms around the age of twenty. The prefrontal cortex forms without flaws‚ although it is the main reason why human babies develops in a much slower rate compared to other mammals. The only mission of the prefrontal cortex is to complete its form‚ like a caterpillar on its merry journey to transform into a butterfly in time. The prefrontal cortex is truly an anomaly of nature‚ humans have the largest prefrontal cortex compared to any

Compensation is a core function of human resource management‚ one that has important direct or indirect implications for recruitment‚ appraisal‚ training‚ retention‚ and labour relations. At the centre of competency‚ cost‚ and productivity issues in government‚ pay for performance is a key methodology in the compensation field and a central component of contemporary civil service reform.
