General Symptoms of SPD in Adults Here is a very basic, traditional checklist for adults with SPD. The list may seem very long, but it is a condensed version that covers the full range of symptoms adults with Sensory Processing Disorder can have. All checklists are made to print well, so feel free to pring this out and mard how often and/or severely you experience each of the following symptoms on a scale of 0 (never) to 4 (always/severe), or use P, if it was previously an issue that no long presents itself in your daily life. Sensory Modulation General Modulation _______ have unusual eating habits (strong preferances, eat at odd times, etc.) _______ have unusual sleeping habits or sleep schedule _______ have great difficulty with transitions, be they major life changes or small everyday stuff (one activity to another, going from inside to outdoors, etc.) _______ become engrossed in one single activity for a long time and seem to tune out everything else _______ spend hours at a time on fantasy or video games and activities
Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) Blue Brain Project The Blue Brain Project is an attempt to create a synthetic brain by reverse-engineering the mammalian brain down to the molecular level. The aim of the project, founded in May 2005 by the Brain and Mind Institute of the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland, is to study the brain's architectural and functional principles. There are a number of sub-projects, including the Cajal Blue Brain, coordinated by the Supercomputing and Visualization Center of Madrid (CeSViMa), and others run by universities and independent laboratories. Goals[edit] Neocortical column modelling[edit] The initial goal of the project, completed in December 2006,[4] was the simulation of a rat neocortical column, which is considered by some researchers to be the smallest functional unit of the neocortex[5][6] (the part of the brain thought to be responsible for higher functions such as conscious thought). Progress[edit] By 2005 the first single cellular model was completed. Funding[edit]

Doctors track tapeworm’s wriggling, burrowing 4-year journey through UK man’s brain A 50-year-old man reported to British doctors in 2008 that he had been suffering from headaches, memory problems, strange olfactory hallucinations and seizures. For four years, his medical team struggled to find an answer before discovering that his brain was hosting a rare parasite. According to the Guardian, after a series of initial tests, doctors found an unidentified mass in the patient’s brain that appeared — after repeated scans — to be moving from one side of his head to the other. The mass was biopsied in a surgical procedure at Addenbrooke Hospital in Cambridge. Geneticists at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute identified the sample as a rare species of tapeworm that the man had most likely contracted in China. The worm Spirometra erinaceieuropaei is so rare that only 300 human patients have been identified as victims since 1953, and only two of those victims were in Europe. Scientists believe that a traditional Chinese remedy may have been to blame. Dr.
10 Surprising Facts About How Our Brain Works One of the things that surprises me time and time again is how we think our brains work and how they actually do. On many occasions I find myself convinced that there is a certain way to do things, only to find out that actually that’s the complete wrong way to think about it. For example, I always found it fairly understandable that we can multitask. Recently I came across more of these fascinating experiments and ideas that helped a ton to adjust my workflow towards how our brains actually work (instead of what I thought!). So here are 10 of the most surprising things our brain does and what we can learn from it: Share stories like this to your social media followers when they’re most likely to click, favorite, and reply! 1. When I explored the science of our body clocks and how they affect our daily routines, I was interested to find that a lot of the way I’d planned my days wasn’t really the best way to go about it. Here’s how it breaks down: 2. 3. 4. Improved memory Better learning 5.

Visual Processing: Cortical Pathways (Section 2, Chapter 15 The visual system is unique as much of visual processing occurs outside the brain within the retina of the eye. The previous chapter described how the light-sensitive receptors of the eye convert the image projected onto the retina into spatially distributed neural activity in the first neurons of the visual pathway (i.e., the photoreceptors). Within the retina, the receptors synapse with bipolar and horizontal cells, which establish the basis for brightness and color contrasts. In turn, the bipolar cells (the 2° visual afferent) synapse with retinal ganglion cells and amacrine cells, which enhance contrast effects that support form vision and establish the basis for movement detection. The information from the eye is carried by the axons of the retinal ganglion cells (the 3° visual afferent) to the midbrain and diencephalon. 15.1 The Visual Pathway from Retina to Cortex The Optic Nerve The axons in the optic tract terminate in four nuclei within the brain (Figure 15.2): Clinical Examples
