Researchers would be most likely to make use of fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) to study brain activity while people recall familiar nursery rhymes. Specific brain areas that might be most active during this task include the language processing centers in the left hemisphere of the brain, such as the Broca's area and Wernicke's area.

Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with disorders of the nervous system. Neurologists diagnose and treat conditions such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis. A neurologist may use imaging tests like MRIs or CT scans to help diagnose neurological conditions.

Neurology is the study of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and muscles, and of the medical conditions of these organs and structures. This includes such conditions and diseases as dementia, headaches, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, muscular dystrophy, myasthenia gravis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease to name a few.

University of California - San Francisco has a great neuroscience program. UCSD @ La Jolla is fantastic with Scripps. Stanford as well. California has the advantage of money for stem cell research, if that's your interest. Harvard and Yale have good programs, but I would go with a school in California. University of California - Irvine, has one of the best undergraduate Neurobiology and Behavior programs with a fantastic upper division laboratory that you would be hard pressed to find something better elsewhere. Northwestern has a good program as well.

Cerebral palsy is not an inherited condition. It is a result of an in jury or change that occurs in the developing brain either before or during birth.

The scientific study hence (ology) of the nervous system, including the Brain and the central nervous system or CNS. Neurology is often linked to mental illness and psychiatry but they are two distinct- but overlappin medical arts, Neurology is an objective science, there are some doubts about what Freud practiced. ( as late as War 2 some Church hospitals were (religiously) opposed to psychiatrists, they did not have them at Saint Mary"s in Hoboken.

I believe that neurology mostly deals with anatomy. As a matter of fact, mastering neuroanatomy is a must for a neurologist to be able to point out the most likely place throughout the neural axis to explain a group of symptoms (and we neurologists are somewhat preoccupied -a bit obsessed, to be exact- with this localizing job).

The other branches of medicine that are used in neurology are physiology, biochemistry, histology.

As a branch of internal medicine, mastering basics of internal medicine is also needed.

level of consciousness

Do your best. Just keep trying to exercise your memory. You will probably have to relearn a lot of the stuff. Mainly, you just give it time. Just be patient with yourself.

Paresthesias

It depends on what level you wish to contribute to the field. For instance, with a 3-4 year Bachelor degree you could enter as a technician or lab assistant. Or, if you wanted more control over the experiments you could earn yourself a doctorate, which normally takes at least 3 years to do over and above Bachelors (so 7-8 years), or Bachelors + Masters (8-9 years).

I'm not sure how many case studies there are but my father had a bells palsey episode and then some years later got Parkinsons.

Neurological factors are ones that influence the neurons of the nervous system. These are usually related to availability of nutrients and oxygen, or imbalance of chemicals. Sometimes it refers to a mechanical problem, like pressure on a nerve.

Completing a neurological status of the patient would be a normal physical examination report.

No, Bell's Palsy is not contagious. It is a condition that affects the movements of the muscles in the face by a damaged cranial nerve.

Charles Bell.

The herpes virus thought to cause Bell's Palsy attacks and damages the nerve cells in the trigeminal and/or facial nerves (5th and 6th, respectively) of the cranium. The virus will attack and enter the cell, utilize the cell's reproductive engines to make more copies of itself, and eventually bud (use part of the cell's membrane to form a capsule) out of the cell or simply apoptize (cause bursting) of the cell to release several thousands (or more) copies of itself to attack the surrounding nerve cells.

Yes, any kind of electric shock. Basically from my understanding: When you get shocked, your nerves are 'overdone' and some tend to damage. Not sure if this is correct though. But yes it DOES cause damage

Antiviral medication such as acyclovir can help kill the virus cells that are causing it. Other than that, just time.
