After reading Chapter 13 of your course text and viewing Brain Injuries and Fix Me: Unlocking the Possibilities of Stem Cell Research,
which cover brain injury and repair, analyze the clinical, biological,
and psychological factors that are important in successful brain
function recovery outcomes. How can the brain repair itself or restore
lost function after TBI or other brain damage (focus on the concept of
neuroplasticity)? Wilson (2012) lists ways that the brain can repair
itself, but reminds us later in the chapter that, in most areas of the
brain, replication of neurons by mitosis to replace lost/dead neurons
only occurs in immature brains (i.e., essentially those younger than age
two). There are some areas (e.g., the hippocampus, which is responsible
for memory) that have neurogenesis, but other areas of the brain must
utilize neuroplasticity to restore lost function.
In addition, discuss what clinical, biological, and psychological
factors are important in successful brain function recovery outcomes.
What are some clinical interventions (e.g., medication, surgery, stem
cell therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, rehabilitation
techniques, and psychotherapy) that help facilitate the restoration of
lost brain function? Include information on brain structures, pathways,
neurotransmitters/receptors, and psychological factors when discussing
the topic areas above. Additional emphasis should be placed on relating
the underlying pathology of brain trauma and damage to the actual
biologic mechanism of how various treatments support repair or
restoration of function.
In keeping with the focus of this class, the emphasis should be placed
on the role of neurotransmitter and receptor systems, neuroanatomical
structures, and neurological functional pathways. You must use a minimum
of one peer-reviewed source that was published within the last five
years, documented in APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing
Center. Your post should be a minimum of 250 words. You may cite and
reference your textbook, required reading and/or multimedia, but these
will not fulfill the source requirement.
