Developmental Disorders
Movement and posture are part of this disorder
CP
This layer of the embryonic disk develops into sensory organs, epidermis and the nervous system
Ectoderm
This is the cellular level process by which neurons journey from the inner surface of the embryonic brain to their long term location
migration
Considered the simplest form of neuroplasticity, when there is a decrease in response to a repeated, benign stimulus
habituation
Intervention which includes the dynamic interaction between the person, task and environment
Task-orientated training
In spina bifida, the defect occurs prenatally in this structure
Neural tube
The myotome section of the somite will eventually develop into
Skeletal muscles
Future brain regions of the neural tube expand to form 3 separate enlargements called
Hindbrain, midbrain, forebrain
Considered the highest level of neuroplasticity, involving the cooperation between neural networks in the various regions of the brain
functional neuroplasticity
The repetitive use of both impaired and nonimpaired hand at the same time
Bilateral training
With Arnold-Chiari malformation, brain tissue extends down into what neurological structure
spinal cord
In the dorsal section of the neural tube, the association plate will have neurons which process which type of information
Sensory
This is the process by which the brain reduces the number of synapses and fine tunes connections
Synaptic pruning
Type of functional plasticity which follows the principle of “practice makes perfect” causing areas of the brain to expand as a result of repeated exposure to a stimuli
Map expansion
When you imagine engaging in an activity
Mental practice
In this development disorder, the baby is born without parts of the brain and skull
Anencephaly
The area of skin that is mainly supplied by a single spinal nerve
Dermatome
Time when inputs from sensory, motor, and even emotional aspects of life experiences affect how the brain develops and adapts to a given environment
Critical periods
When neurons are deprived of oxygen as a result of an injury or insult, neurons then release large amounts of glutamate killing postsynaptic neurons causing further damage to the brain
Excitotoxicity
When the un-impaired UE is restrained and there is repetitive task training of the impaired UE during functionally based activities
CIMT
Associated issues of this disorder include Learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, sensory processing disorder
ADHD
The neural crest will develop into the PNS, all expect for the motor neurons which develop from----
Anterior neural tube
Time in utero when the spinal cord segments stops corresponding exactly with the vertebral column
3rd month
Following an axonal injury- the process when the distal segment of the axon degenerates
Wallerian degeneration
Use of technology to produce experiences similar to real life with performance feedback provided to client
