Damage to the brain and subsequent recovery is an interesting topic, and as you point out it is often affected most by age and functional recovery instead of structural recovery (Wilson, 2013). That is an important point because it shows that structural integrity is not everything—a lot of what matters is how functioning and how old the person is. Relearning skills lost can be easier for younger people and harder for older people. Structure, once damaged, is essentially not coming back. However, another good point that you make is that neurons and axons can grow back, which means the nerve fiber part of the nerve cell that takes part in the messaging does have to be considered. In people over the age of 25, regaining substantial functional recovery is going to be a significant trial (Arain et al., 2013). Good work, explaining what happens when the brain is damaged and why the functional recovery is the major obstacle that older people face. I would only add perhaps an example of a case study or two wherein it is shown how people respond to the various therapies that are available for functional recovery intervention.

Arain, M., Haque, M., Johal, L., Mathur, P., Nel, W., Rais, A., Sandhu, R.,...…is basically like learning to navigate another part of the neighborhood to get where you want to go because the normal route is under construction. Physical and occupational therapy are good examples of the kinds intervention available to people working on recovering their brain functioning. The use of embryonic stem cell injection to help stimulate growth in the brain is also an interesting discussion, as Wilson (2013) points out. Overall, this is a very good description of what is going on when recovery from brain damage is needed. Some additional points might be the effect that age has on the functionality of the brain during this recovery process.…

Stroke is widely regarded one of the leading causes of deaths in the U.S. Indeed, recent statistical figures paint a grim picture with regard to the number of people who suffer a stroke in the U.S. each year. In basic terms, strokes are triggered by an interruption of blood flow into the brain. In this text, I concern myself with the physiological processes associated with stroke. In so doing, I
Stroke Case Study Pathophysiology: In the present case study, the patient is a 61-year-old male named Mr. Black. Mr. Black has presented at the Emergency Room with symptoms of stroke. Further investigation revealed a Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA) distribution stroke with substantially impacted physical function on the left side of his body. The patient also showed signs of impeded speech and reasoning abilities. According to Slater (2013), "middle cerebral artery stroke describes
Stroke Hearing Impaired Stroke Victims Plan: Physical, Occupational, Speech, and Psychological Therapies Implementation: Daily regimen, with one of the four core areas (physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and psychological therapy) emphasized or addressed on each day. Evaluation: After each session, therapist will write a thorough evaluation of the patient including a progress report. After the end of each six-week period, a thorough progress report will be shared among the various members of the
Stem Cell Research Should Have More Government Funding The topic argument "Stem cell research government funding." For paper, construct argument defending a claim policy. Remember argument based a claim policy, writer seeks solve a problem establish a problem exists, part argument entail claims fact Stem cell research should have more government funding A stem cell can be defined as type of cell that can be found in many body tissues. Stem cells can
but, Cuomo continued, Bush's position "…remains a minority view" (Hurlbut, 822). Christine Todd Whitman, who served Bush as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency in Bush's first term (she served from January 2001 to May 2003), and was the first female governor of New Jersey, supported embryonic stem cell research. Whitman noted in her book that right after Bush was re-elected in 2004, Christian conservative organizer Phil Burress was heard
At this point it should be clear that there are no good reasons to oppose the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research and only good reasons for supporting. Opposition to the federal funding of embryonic stem cell research can only be justified by an appeal to unreasonable and arbitrary moral standards based not on logic, reason, or concern for human well-being, but rather on the dictates of outdated and
