A Good Foundation
Study of the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the nervous system
Neurology
Uses a magnetic current to flip protons within the body's water molecules creating sharp images of the body's soft tissue
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Factors in the world in which people live, which can either facilitate or be barriers.
Environmental factors
Plane dividing things into left and right portions
Sagittal Plane
The thalamus, subthalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus.
Diencephalon
Study of how a neuron functions
Neurophysiology
Shows brain activity based on the brain's glucose metabolism
Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
Problems with involvement in any area of life, such as employment or education.
Participation Barriers
Toward the back. Considering the brain, it is referring to the top portion.
Dorsal
Innervations for body functions that happen automatically and without conscious control.
Autonomic Nervous System
Made up of the brain and spinal cord
Central Nervous System
A temporal resolution technique that measures neuronal electrical activity through electrodes placed on the scalp
Electroencephalography (EEG)
Problems in body function or alterations in body structure
Function Barriers
Plane that divides a structure into front and back portions
Coronal Plane
Also known as the "rest and digest" system
Parasympathetic Nervous System
An example of this would be amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or Lou Gehrig disease
Neuropathology
An invasive technique that uses iodine as a contrast on x-rays to visualize blood vessels
Angiography
Factors relating directly to the person with a neurological disorder. An example of this would be personality or self esteem.
Personal Factors
The front-most portion, for example, the front of the brain.
Rostral
Innervates the body's voluntary and conscious skeletal muscles for movement
Somatic Nervous System
Allows the brain to change and adapt after injury
Neural Plasticity
Shows the anatomy and physiology of the brain by measuring blood oxygenation. Mainly used in research facilities.
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (FMRI)
Difficulties in executing activities, such as walking or eating.
Activity Barriers
Crossing of nerve tracts resulting in contralateral innervation.
Decussation
Manages the gastrointestinal system.
Enteric Nervous System
