Study Notes
Introduction to Neurology
- Neurology is the study of the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the nervous system.
- Neuroanatomy is the study of the nervous system's structure.
- Neurophysiology is the study of the nervous system's function.
- Neuropathology is the study of diseases affecting the nervous system.
- Speech-language pathologists and audiologists need a working knowledge of the nervous system.
- Theoretical perspectives on how the brain works matter to communication sciences and disorders.
- Neuroimaging techniques matter to communication disorders professionals.
The Need for Neurological Training
- The nervous system is a precious resource.
- Understanding neurology is necessary for SLPs and audiologists to communicate effectively with neurologists.
- Knowledge of neurological disorders helps in predicting likely patient problems.
- Knowledge of neurological etiologies helps in understanding the type of problems patients will face.
- Working knowledge of neurology assists SLPs and audiologists in evaluating patient change and treatment efficacy.
- Understanding neuroplasticity is important to help guide therapy.
Famous Individuals with Neurological Conditions
- Many famous individuals have suffered from neurological conditions.
- Examples include Ronald Reagan (Alzheimer's disease), Michael J. Fox (Parkinson's disease), Christopher Reeve (spinal cord injury), and Stephen Hawking (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis).
Prevalence, Incidence, and Cost of Neurological Disorders
- Neurological disorders affect millions globally.
- Statistics concerning the incidence and prevalence of particular neurological disorders are challenging to obtain due to the limitations of available studies.
- Financial costs associated with the evaluation and treatment of neurological disorders are substantial.
Classifications of Neurological Disorders
- Neurological disorders are broadly classified into several categories.
- Major categories include inflammatory diseases, systematic atrophies, extrapyramidal and movement disorders, other degenerative diseases, demyelinating diseases, nerve/nerve root plexis, and polyneuropathies among others.
- Specific examples of each category are provided.
History of Neuroscience
- Prehistory: Early humans used trephination (surgical opening of the skull) for various purposes.
- Early History: Ancient Egyptians associated the heart as the seat of mental processes. Later, Hippocrates observed correlations between brain damage and body deficits, and Aristotle theorized brain function as cooling blood.
- Modern History: Phrenology, which viewed brain function and personality traits as associated with skull bumps. A later figure, Flourens, challenged this by advocating for the holistic view of brain. Connectionism followed which suggested brain areas work cooperatively.
- More recent theories (including the mind-brain debate) are considered and examined further.
Functional Imaging Techniques
- Functional neuroimaging techniques are methods for measuring brain activity in real time, falling into two categories.
- Spatial resolution techniques are used to locate the location of brain activity.
- Temporal resolution techniques examine the time between stimuli and brain response.
- Examples include EEG, PET, and fMRI.
