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 laterization and sex differences in intelligence and visuospatial processing Cerebral lateralization can be defined as “the functional specialization of the two cerebral hemispheres” (Groen‚ Whitehouse‚ Badcock & Bishop‚ 2012‚ p. 257). In this section general intelligence and visuospatial processing concerning cerebral lateralization and sex differences are discussed. Cerebral laterization of intelligence may have an effect on one hemisphere‚ sometimes both‚ depending on how general abilities

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 Causes Cerebral palsy results from damage to certain parts of the developing brain. •This damage can occur early in pregnancy when the brain is just starting to form‚ during the birth process as the child passes through the birth canal‚ or after birth in the first few years of life. •In many cases‚ the exact cause of the brain damage is never known. At one time‚ problems during birth‚ usually inadequate oxygen‚ were blamed for cerebral palsy. •We now know that fewer than

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

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.
