of brain development during aging. This condition is among neurodegenerative disorders that are brought by the loss of function of the central nervous system and inability to coordinate muscles effectively, which in turn contributes to cell death. Similar to the other neurodegenerative disorders i.e. Alzheimer's and Parkinson diseases, dementia is caused by toxins, genetic factors, chemicals, and viruses. Dementia is commonly associated with depressive symptoms because of its disruptions in cognitive, emotional, and… Continue Reading...
absolutely be good, there are other effects that could be bad with age and stage of brain development being important factors to keep in mind.
One factor that clearly aggravates the situation of people playing video games and it might or does affect the brain is the fact that the younger people who still have the development of their brains in motion. As such, verifying whether or not there are effects on cognition and that development of the brain structure is an important item to consider. That precise subject was the focus of a study by Shams et al. (2015). Specifically, they looked at the confluence… Continue Reading...
Luby and coworkers' 2013 research project titled "The Effects of Poverty on Childhood Brain Development: The Mediating Effect of Caregiving and Stressful Life Events". It was obtained from EBSCOhost's database via a search activity, utilizing the expression "poverty and the brain".
Poverty during the early childhood stage of life has an adverse effect on the development of the individual's brain, as indicated by school-goers' MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans (Lipina & Colombo, 2009; Lende, 2012). That environmental stimuli serve to enhance the production of hippocampal cells within lab animals in comparison to animals subject to relatively rare stimuli is an established fact ("Poverty,… Continue Reading...
any other stage of life. Very interesting changes occur in this couple of years. Brain development also occurs rapidly at this stage. Prior to birth, the unborn baby has most of the brain cells, but not all. There is a very rapid development of the neural connections between the cells. Contrary to what most people think, the baby is not entirely helpless. It is capable of all the basic activities required to sustain life -- breathing, suckling, swallowing and excretion. By the first week, the newborns can identify the direction from which sound is coming, recognize the voice of the mother from other voices… Continue Reading...
should remain. On average, teen drivers are restricted or banned from driving for several reasons. Those reasons include insufficient brain development, lack of responsibility and a propensity to not pay proper attention. While typecasting people based on age is not always fair, there are reasons behind the age restriction.
Analysis
The first main point to consider when it comes to why children under sixteen should not be driving, at least in an unrestricted way, is insufficient brain development. The ideas and theories about the broader subject development do vary. However, there are some things that tend to be agreed up on a lot of the time. One of those… Continue Reading...
trauma and mental health disorder
Being exposed to traumatic encounters in childhood could have adverse impacts on brain development when the brain is most vulnerable. Childhood hardship is a primary risk factor for the eventual development of behavioral and psychological issues in adulthood. Greater rates of suicidality, PTSD, depression, aggressive behavior, and anxiety disorders have been seen in grownups that faced childhood abuse (Torjesen, 2019).
Social cognition is a phrase in psychology that is connected to how individuals apply and process information concerning other individuals and their social dealings. It concentrates on the part played by cognitive processes in social scenarios. For instance, how we perceive others… Continue Reading...
of parents, positive relationships, guidance, and interaction, and proper educative methods that promote whole-brain development of the child, allowing for proper coping mechanisms to be effected over time.
Introduction
As Joshi, Connelly and Rosenberg (2014) note, families consist of a social structure that depends upon consistency, stability, and principled foundations in order for the growth and development of the family members to occur. When the family unit is disrupted, normative development becomes an issue. In the case of divorce, the infrastructure provided by a two-parent household is diminished as one spouse separates his or herself from the rest of the family. This is… Continue Reading...
that cell phones have been shown to affect brain development (Kesari, Siddiqui & Meena, 2013); 2) cell phones have been shown to affect fetal development and children’s development (Gandhi et al., 2012); and 3) cell phones have been shown to alter the way cells grow, which is a potential link to cancer (Nylund & Leszczynski, 2006).
The first reason supports my position because if cell phone radiation is negatively changing the brain, it cannot be said to be good for someone. Kesari et al. (2013) clearly show in their research that cell phones can cause neurodegenerative disease if… Continue Reading...
by empirical evidence in the scientific literature. Only a few of the harmful effects of child abuse include abnormal brain development, impaired cognitive skills development, learning disabilities, poor social or emotional skills adaptation, reduced language development, anxiety and mood disorders, and substance abuse (CDC, 2016).
Exposure to pornography leads to a different subset of effects, many of which relate to the social development of the child. Research has shown, for example, that exposure to pornographic material can lead to rigid gender stereotyping, and even the condoning if not the perpetration of violence against women (Campo, 2016). Lack of self-esteem, mistrust of adults and trouble with authority, self-destructive and self-harming… Continue Reading...
