Cerebral palsy includes a wide variety of non-progressive brain disorders that occur during intrauterine life‚ delivery‚ or early infancy. It is defined as a syndrome of motor disabilities possibly accompanied by mental retardation‚ seizures‚ or both. Causes of cerebral palsy are many and include cerebral developmental disorders such as microcephaly‚ intracranial hemorrhage‚ cerebral anoxia‚ and toxins such as excessive bilirubin

Its main function is to produce the energy intermediate ATP‚ through ATP synthase. Mitochondria could be considered a cell inside a cell. It has its own membranes (inner and outer membranes)‚ its ribosomes (to produce the proteins encoded in its DNA)‚ a matrix -- where aerobic respiration occurs. The invaginations of the inner

If each of the following brain parts individually was damaged‚ what would be the consequence and why? Hippocampus‚ hypothalamus‚ cerebellum‚ reticular formation‚ medulla Hippocampus is important for forming lasting memories. The hippocampus lies inside the temporal lobes‚ which is why stimulating the temporal lobes can produce memory like or dream like experiences. Hippocampus damage can result in anterograde amnesia which is the loss of ability to form new memories. Someone who sustains an
