imbalance. Speech-language pathologists are highly-educated professionals who have a minimum of a master’s degree in their field. As in any health-care related profession‚ S-LPs are required to study anatomy and physiology‚ but they also study neuroanatomy‚ genetics‚ human and language development‚ linguistics‚ psychology‚ acoustics and more‚ which is why they are qualified to evaluate‚ diagnose (restricted in some provinces/territories) and treat a broad range of delays and disorders.

Charles Richard Drew was born on June 3‚ 1904 in Washington D.C in a middle class African-American family to Richard who was a carpet layer and Nora Burrell who was a teacher.

of psychoanalysis. Freud’s parents were poor‚ but they ensured his education. Freud chose medicine as a career and qualified as a doctor at the University of Vienna‚ subsequently undertaking research into cerebral palsy‚ aphasia and microscopic neuroanatomy at the Vienna General Hospital. This led in turn to the award of a University lectureship in neuropathology‚ a post he resigned once he had decided to go into private practice. On the basis of his clinical practice Freud went on to develop theories

schizophrenia is viewed as the most severe end of a spectrum of schizophrenia-related disorders. Although placed in the category of "functional" psychiatric disorders‚ schizophrenia is associated primarily with abnormalities of brain neurochemistry‚ neuroanatomy‚ and development. Genetics and intrauterine events likely play the major etiologic role in schizophrenia‚ with psychosocial stressors serving as precipitating or exacerbating factors. This view is a move away from the psychodynamic theories of

So behaviour repeated and stamped in. (afterwards this may create neuroanatomy change) operant conditioning also argues that the addiction is reinforced through negative reinforcement through the need to avoid the withdrawal symptoms. Social learning theory sees addiction as a result of vicarious learning- behaviour is observed

The direct and indirect pathways are circuits heavily involved in the regulation of movement. The direct pathway is thought to decrease inhibitory basal ganglia output (coming from the GPi/SNpr nuclei)‚ whereas the indirect pathway increases inhibitory basal ganglia output. Therefore one would expect the direct pathway to increase motor activity and movement and the indirect pathway to inhibit it. So‚ when the direct pathway is activated‚ cells in the striatum make inhibitory connections with cells

Reticulospinal Tract The reticulospinal tract is a motor pathway that originates from the reticular formation‚ primarily in the pons and medulla‚ and synapses in the spinal cord. In the reticular formation‚ the reticulospinal tract surfaces from the pontine caudal reticular nucleus and gigantocellular reticular nucleus. The reticulospinal tract is responsible for postural control and autonomic function like initiation of locomotion via innervation of motor neurons into the trunk and proximal limb

brain functioning properly by insuring proper stimulation and continuously learning new things. Now‚ the ability to learn and to memorize what is learned stems from different areas of the brain. The brain is a part of an individual’s neuroanatomy. Neuroanatomy refers to the structure of the nervous system. The nervous system is made up of different parts. Those parts are broken up by having the main one being the nervous system‚ and then it is divided by the central nervous system brain and spinal
