    Neuroplasticity

    The ability of the brain to change and adapt in response to experiences, such as learning new skills or recovering from injuries.

    Repetition Matters

    Repeated practice helps strengthen neural connections, making learning more effective.

    Nervous System

    The nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord, controls all bodily functions, including movement, sensation, thoughts, and emotions.

    Motor Activity

    The ability to move and coordinate the body, often learned through years of training.

    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.
