Brain Damage
• Stroke– Brain’s blood supply is interrupted by either bleeding or
sudden blockage• Cerebral hemorrhage• Ischemia
– Excitotoxicity

Brain Damage
• Head Injury– Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
• Open head injuries• Concussions
– Coup and countercoup– Post concussion syndrome – lack of concentration, reduction in processing
speed, deficits in higher-order cognitive functions
– Chronic Traumatic Brain Injuries (CTBI)• Dementia pugilistica (Boxer’s syndrome)

Brain Damage
• Brain Tumors– Majority arise in glial cells and the cells of the meninges– Symptoms of Tumors
• Pressure in the skull• Specific disruptions related to location
– Types of Tumors• Gliomas and meningiomas• Grades I to IV
– Treatment for Tumors• Surgical removal• Chemotherapy• Thalidomide to starve tumors

Brain Damage
• Seizures and epilepsy– Uncontrolled electrical disturbances in the brain
correlated with changes in consciousness– Types of Seizures
• Partial seizures– Simple– Complex
• Generalized seizures – Grand mal– Petit mal seizures
• Treatment for Epilepsy• Antiepileptic drugs, surgery, ketogenic diet in children

Multiple Sclerosis
• Autoimmune condition – immune system attaches the central nervous system– Demyelination of axons– Affects white matter in different locations– Modest heritability and environmental factors

Brain Infections
• Parasites– Neurocysticercosis – pork tape worm– Treatment - seizure control
• Bacterial, Viral, and Fungal Infections– Encephalitis – inflammation of brain after viral infection– Meningitis – inflammation of membranes that cover and
protect the brain and nervous system– AIDS Dementia Complex
• Collection of neurological symptoms that result fro HIV virus or opportunistic infections

Brain Infections
• Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies – A group that includes bovine spongiform encephalopathy
(BSE) or mad-cow disease• Produce psychological disturbances and progressive loss of
cognitive functions, motor disturbances, and finally death
– The TSE Mystery• Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) human form of TSE• Kuru in New Guinea provided evidence of transmission
– Prions and TSEs• Role of abnormal form of prion protein
– BSE and New Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease • New variant emerged in humans

Migraine
• Symptoms of excruciating head pain, nausea, and vomiting for 4-72 hours
• Migraine generator located in brainstem• Treatments
– Triptans– Behavioral adjustments

Assessment of Neurological Disorders
• Patient’s health history• Physical examination
– Sensory systems– Touch sensitivity– Movement– Spinal reflexes– Tests such as Halstead-Reitan battery
![Page 27: Chapter Fifteen](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022020417/5681522b550346895dc07489/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Recovery from Damage
• Kennard Principle– Young brains reorganize after damage more efficiently
than adult brains
• Subsequent research suggest a more complex relationship between developmental stage and recovery

Therapy for Brain Damage
• Rehabilitation– Improving cognitive, emotional, and physical processes– Constraint therapy– “Mental muscle” approach– “Specific tasks” approach– Virtual reality (VR) therapy
• Pharmacological Therapies• Neural Tissue Transplants
– Fetal cell transplants and stem cells
