Introduction to Neurology

neuronal structure

IEP

individualized educational plan

IDT

interdisciplinary team

• this team works together to develop treatment plan and how to provide treatment

who does the IDT consist of?

group of multiple disciplines that work together

• such as in hospitals, rehab centers, SNF, assisted living, etc

father of behavioral nerology (ie. aphasia, agnosias, apraxia)

aphasia

loss of language

agnosia

3 types: visual, facial, and tactile agnosia

overall definition: inability to understand sensory input

visual agnosia

when you see something you are unable to recognize it

facial agnosia

unable to recognize faces when looking at them

(even familiar faces, but you can recognize the person once you hear their voice)

tactile agnosia

unable to recognize objects through touch

apraxia

loss of motor programming

who believed that language is an innate neurological process, NOT A TRAINED HABIT

noam chomsky

who identified aphasia, broca’s area in the front lobe?

pierre paul broca

who identified the auditory speech center in the temporal lobe

carl wernicke

who found disorders of cortical sensory recognition

sigmund freud

who developed the beginnings of speech therapy (around WWI)

anterior/ posterior

front/ back

proximal/ distal

close to the trunk/ away from the trunk

dorsal/ ventral

backbone/ stomach

superior/ inferior

above/ below

lateral/ medial

to the side/ to the middle

rostral/ caudal

towards the head/ towards the read end

contralateral/ ipsilateral

opposite side/ same side

sagittal plane

vertical plane→ cuts body into left and right halves

2 types: medial sagittal, sagittal/ parasagittal

medial sagital plane

cuts body into even left and right halves

sagittal/ parasagittal plane

uneven cut into right and left halves

frontal or coronal plane

cuts body into anterior and posterior halves

transverse plane

horizontal cut that cuts body into superior and inferior halves
