Chapter 15, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To identify:
The name of the principal pathways that carry information which is affected by the brain damage causing Michael’s cerebral palsy.
Introduction:
Cerebral palsy is the type of permanent disorder in which a neurological set is disturbed which affects the movements of body and muscle coordination permanently. Hearing, vision, swelling are some other problems which can see in this disorder.
