This team’s topic was the only one that I haven’t done some sort of research on for another class‚ and I felt that it was best that I picked something that I don’t really know any details about. Team E’s power point presentation was on Alzheimer’s disease. This disease was discovered in 1906 by Dr. Alois Alzheimer

The fact that children belonging to low-income families have poorer performance in school has been known for a while‚ but recent research shows that poverty can be linked to a smaller surface area of the brain. Twenty percent of the achievement gap between affluent and poor children can be explained by their differences in brain development. A psychologist‚ Seth Pollak‚ and others at the University

The human brain is not fully developed until age twenty five (Aamodt)‚ but students are expected to use the full capacity very early on. Different parts of the brain develop at different rates‚ and students have high expectations before their brain is ready to perform such tasks (NINDS; Marlowe). Continuous stress can even slow or stop brain development and lead to learning difficulties (UGA; Bristol Science Centre; Scott). Functions of the brain are important to comprehend so that we may determine

During the preschool years‚ the brain is the most fascinating and quick to grow organ at this time. In fact‚ it is also develops to three fourths of the size and weight of an adult brain. This clearly shows how important learning is at this age and how fast children develop the knowledge from their experiences. There are many biological reasons why the brain grows so vast at this period. During this time‚ there is a drastic increase in the connections between cells. This is to allows a more developed

The sequence of development is a process where an event is followed one after the another and achieves a level of succession with a series of changes or growth that a process undertakes normally to improve on that process. Leading to a matured state. In normal cases the sequence of development depends on pervious events which had happened previously. For Example a baby first starts to roll‚ thereafter 6-7 months they try to sit‚ soon after they start crawling using their legs and hands. Next

there are several areas within development that can be impacted (Carrion & Wong‚ 2012). Neural development is affect by trauma because as a result of continuous recurrent stress (Carrion & Wong‚ 2012). Researchers suggest that traumatic events can severely impact brain development and can lead to a major impairment that will cause a disruption. This disruption will not allow neurons to carry “information” to the nervous system (Carrion & Wong‚ 2012). Neural development as it relates to traumatic
