UNIT 365 UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS AND EXPERIENCE OF DEMENTIA 1.UNDERSTAND THE NEUROLOGY OF DEMENTIA 1.1Describe a range of causes of dementia syndrome. Dementia is a word used to describe a group of symptoms including memory loss‚ confusion ‚ mood changes‚ and difficulty with day-to -day task. There are many causes of dementia wit Alzhaimer`s the most common. Alzhaimer`s disease-around 500.000 people in the UK have Alzhaimer`s.Scientists know that during Alzhaimer`s two abnormal proteins build

Describe the key functions of the brain that are affected by dementia. The frontal lobe is responsible for decision making‚ problem solving‚ control behaviour and emotions. The parietal lobe is responsible for sensory information from the body‚ also where letters are formed‚ putting things in order and spatial awareness. The occipital lobe is responsible for processing information related to vision. The cerebrum lobe is the biggest part of the brain‚ its role is memory‚ attention‚ thought‚ and

The first reaction time test is the reaction ruler. This test shows the speed of the occipital lobe and the motor cortex of the brain. The faster the reflex the faster the afferent and efferent pathway is. Subjects 1‚ 3 and 5 experienced reaction times that were under the average of 195.167 milliseconds. While Subjects 2‚ 4 and 6 experienced times that were over the average of the population. In general terms it could be said that subjects 1‚3 and 5 have better hand and eye coordination than subjects

relationships. *Amygdala: (Located in Temporal Lobe) Involved with memory‚ fear‚ and emotion. *Pituitary Gland: Releases hormones that effect growth‚ sexual development‚ and metabolism. 6. How do scientists determine which areas of the brain are associated with specific actions‚ emotions‚ or functions? Referring back to Phineas Gage‚ scientist were able to determine (based on where he was injured and what effect that had on his body) that the Frontal Lobe had something to do with personality
