Connectivity of Brain Regions Matters More Than Once Thought

Simply doing things does not require much interplay between your neo-cortex and your memory database. Unfortunately, this research only looks at the cerebral cortex; cerebro-cerebellar connectivity and the thickness of the cerebellar cortex was not included in their fMRI data. That said, the researchers thoroughly investigated the relationship between the cortical thickness across the entire cerebral cortex and the resting-state functional connectivity between 200 distinct brain regions within the cerebrum based on data from the human connectome project (HCP). Profound Multiple Learning Disabilities (PMLD)PMLD is another term to separate the most severely learning delayed from others with learning delays, so that support can be matched. Anything that means learning is severely affected can be included in this group. PMLD indicates a severe level of need, but little more as the subject is so vast.

Based on this split-brain model, the behavioral aspect of cognitive-behavioral therapy would be more cerebellar and the cognitive aspects of CBT would be more cerebral. Additionally, the key to avoiding “paralysis by cerebrumiq analysis” would be to rely less on the prefrontal cortex and more on the cerebellum. I realize now that this hypothesis isn’t 100 percent accurate; there’s more to the story. At CVI Scotland we are devoted to helping people understand cerebral visual impairments, and together working towards developing the understanding of this complex condition.

• Non-clinical data from studies in rats have reported developmental toxicity (embryolethality, growth retardation) in the offspring exposed to either oxcarbazepine or its active 10-hydroxy metabolite during pregnancy at doses relevant to human therapeutic doses.
• In 2004, when Dad and I coined the term “up brain-down brain,” the gist of our hypothesis was that the cerebrum (up brain) was the “thinking” cerebral brain and that the cerebellum (down brain) was the “non-thinking” athletic brain.
• Although the available clinical data concerning neurodevelopmental disorders and delay are inconsistent there are some small, reasonably well-conducted studies that do support an adverse effect on neurodevelopment.
• In a cohort study, a group of individuals exposed to a risk factor and a group who are unexposed to the risk factor are followed over time (often years) to determine the occurrence of disease.
• The data from the birth registries, pregnancy registries and observational studies are used to determine the association of exposure to antiepileptic drugs during pregnancy and adverse outcomes in infants and children.
• Continuous Life-long learning keeps the brain active with each and every neuron striving to make new permanent connections.

As they tire, their visual processing capacity can rapidly and markedly diminish, in severe cases leaving the person functionally blind. This is not just visual fatigue, but is something we believe needs more research and understanding. StimmingStimming is short for self-stimulating behaviour, and is commonly seen in autistic people who may repeatedly make the same movement, like waving a hand or tapping something over and over. The cause is not known, the purpose is not known, and whether the person has any control over the behaviour is not known. This means the view that it is a ‘self-stimulation behaviour’ is not correct, and for this reason the term ‘stimming’ is not widely used. It is an observation of repetitive body movements, that is all we really know at present, although there are many theories.

In-vivo study

These are broadly reflected in the current product information (the Summary of Product Characteristics for healthcare professionals and the Patient Information Leaflet). With regards to risk of specific malformations, the available data suggest an increased risk of oral cleft lip or palate, hypospadias and atrial septal defect in association with topiramate. While the evidence to support an increased risk of major congenital malformations is not consistent across all studies, those that do not suggest an increased risk tend to be studies with a smaller number of pregnancies exposed to topiramate.

Use your brain’s natural strength in an unnaturally efficient way.

It is a waste of effort “exercising” the brain until we have quietened and focussed our minds, and setting aside time for mental imagery and imagination will give our little grey cells a good workout. “It’s been an essential idea in modern neural imaging that different regions of the brain are in charge of different functions,” senior author Xiao Liu said in the news release. “For example, we know what part of the brain is in charge of processing visual information, or that some regions of the brain are more in charge of those higher-order cognitive functions. That represents the traditional neural imaging studies, which try to map brain function.” Around 2009, I began to speculate that optimizing the inter-hemispheric connectivity of white matter between all four brain hemispheres and the intra-hemispheric connectivity of microzones within each hemisphere might be just as important as optimizing gray matter volume in a particular brain region. But a decade ago, this hypothesis was just an educated guess with little supporting evidence-based research. Thankfully, today we have new research that provides fresh fMRI-based evidence that helps to explain why functional connectivity may be just as important as “location, location, location.”
