Why Is It Important To Follow-Up A Case Study

This case was about two girls who were injured. Due to the incident Julia’s body died but her brain was saved, opposite of that happened with Mary Frances, her body was saved but her brain was damaged completely. Miller and Weirob who argued who the new person would be if Julia’s brain was implanted into Mary’s body. Miller thinks it would be Julia because her soul or the memory is being transferred into Mary’s body so, Mary will have all the memories of Julia. Contrast of that Weirob opposed to that and claimed it would be still Frances because her body didn’t diminished. She might not have the memory but she has all her body parts. There are many people who are suffering from mental disease where they don’t remember anything that had happened with them in past years, but they are still the same person from inside. Suppose they were Mr. M who lost his brain, if someone sees them they would still call him Mr. M and not someone else. Which proves Millers second theory is also wrong. Later Weirob was having a discussion with Dave Cohen and Sam Miller where she revealed that a physicist advised an operation for her where her body will diminish but

“Growing your mind” is an informative (educational) film clip where they talk about how intelligence can be improved. It was displayed on Khan Academy website which has a mission “to provide a free world-class education for anyone, anywhere.” It would appear they created the film to enlighten people that our brains can be reconstructed by challenging it and making stronger connections between neurons. The producers compared our brains to a muscle: the more stimulation and training they get, the more developed it will be. Having struggles, getting things wrong, and then receiving feedback of the mistake essentially stimulates our brain. He claims that this theory is supported by research and studies on both animals and humans.

On December 22, 2015, at about 6:20 pm amazon associate Girard Pedley notified James Weisgable that his car was damaged by another car. The case was then passed down to security officer Tatiana Kania to review some footage. At end of shift Girard Pedley approached his car and had noticed that a blue pickup truck’s bed was parked on top of his car. He noticed it and backed his car up to check if it was damaged. He saw that the tow hitch of the truck had made a small scratch and peeled off some paint. After reviewing camera footage; using camera C244 port 1 and camera C074, Tatiana was able to see that the blue pickup truck had parked at 4:03 pm. The owner of the blue truck had come in to the building at 4:05 pm. At 4:05:06 the truck had rolled

In Eric Kandel's Aplysia experiment, Kandel showed that a slug lost sensitivity in its gills, after repeated contact to which Carr states "the brain...change[s] with experience, circumstance, and need". Both, Kandel's and Merzenich's, experiments lead to the same conclusion of the physical body adapting in real-time to the environment. Carr briefly writes how a man named Bernstein regained movement in his hand and leg after damaging his brain which regulated movement and how through the use of technology analyzing neural activity, Carr tells how violinists had increased cortical areas of their right hand compared to nonmusicians, and compared to their own left cortical areas. Carr's final example for the brain's plasticity is with Pascual-Leone's experiment. Pascual-Leone mapped the brain activity of a group of people playing certain notes on a piano, and a group imagining themselves playing the notes. He concluded that their brains had both changed in response to the experiment, both in playing, and imagining playing. Pascual-Leone's work showed that the human brain can change itself neurologically without physical activity. Carr summarizes, "We become, neurologically, what we think". Carr asserts through these scientific experiments that not only were Freud, J.Z. Young, and William James, correct , but "the adult brain...is not just plastic but...'massively plastic.'" Carr

First, Carr supports his argument by citing professional psychologists, and even uses a study done by universities to prove his point. Carr references leading psychologist Patricia Greenfield and neuroscientist Michael Merzenich to explain

23) The problem with relying on participants whose brains have been accidentally damaged in order to understand brain functioning is that

* Second, research has shown that damage to incoming sensory pathways or the destruction of brain tissue can lead to neural reorganization.

It is obvious that with the comparison of the Space Race, the United States intends to be the first to be able to map the brain. Just like the Space Race, the United States does not quite have all the technologies to fully map the brain, and it enlists the help of the public and will spend millions of dollars to develop and create the technology needed. Just like the Space Race, the United States plans to discover new and useful information about the brain, and as time progresses they will have an abundance of information to map the human

According to the CMSA (Case Management Society of America) and several others organizations that case management alone means that it is a collective system that helps the patient and their family needs through the communication, available resources of promoted quality, and cost-effective outcomes.

In The Vital Paths, Carr introduced the science behind the idea, providing detail of how the brain works, about what it is and some scientific history lessons of it. Friedrich Nietzsche was an avid reader and writer when his health was deteriorating, he had to give up his favorite hobby. However, Nietzsche discovered a typewriter in the form of a ball and he was able to resume his writing. It didn't take long for one of Nietzsche's colleagues to notice a change in his writings. This showed the reader that the brain isn't just prone to change from a keyboard and mouse or even a smartphone, any form of technology can change the way we think.

I often think about neurological developments with all my clients. By looking at their History, including major disturbances in their childhood (even their experiences whilst in their mother’s womb) I am able to identify

The rehabilitation for people with traumatic brain injury is put into three different stages for medical care (Ross 40). These three stages are: inpatient, community integration, and lifetime of care. Each person’s rehabilitation process is different with the way they go through care. The healing process can last for months, or sometimes years. Those that go through the rehabilitation program function better than those that don’t. The two major goals are relearning and compensation.

The concept of neuroplasticity is new and upcoming in the field of medicine. Neuroplasticity is defined as “the process in which your brain's neural synapses and pathways are altered as an effect of environmental, behavioral and neural changes.” Simply put, neuroplasticity is how your brain grows and changes. This is crucial to individuals who have sustained severe brain or spinal injuries. In order for these new synapses to form the neurons must be constantly stimulated through physical and occupational therapies. However, not all therapies are covered under health insurances, and when they are covered patients and families are still forced to pay hefty co-pays if they wish to receive treatments. Physical, Occupational, and Psychological therapies

In this paper, I will be discussing ways to test Mary’s brain injury. Mary obtained her brain inju-ry by diving in a pool and hitting her head. Mary was shortly removed from the pool and sent to the hospital by the ambulance. Mary was unconscious for quite a while, but the next day re-gained consciousness. However, with the Glascow Coma Scale, Mary’s injuries will be tested and below you will find out how.

Here, there is a clear sense in which the process of rehabilitation involves assisting the individual to get ‘back to normal’. He or she may need to re-learn motor skills, such as how to walk (in the case of a broken limb); or seek to recover cognitive skills, such as memory (in the case of a head injury). In either scenario, rehabilitation implies returning to a former, favorable state.” (Robinson, 2009).
