86
During motor learning, what happens to the number of active regions in the brain?
there is a reduction in the amount of active regions in the brain.
87
the act of attempting to decrease the exaggerated neural response to a stimulus.
habituation
88
Examples of Habituation:
1. PT/OT treatment for tactile defensiveness-stimulating the child’s skin with gentle stimulation at first, then gradually increasing the stimulation, in an effort to cause the patient to be able to tolerate the tactile stimulation (and thereby achieve habituation). 2. people with tinnitus. Hearing aids can be used to habituate to the ringing over a prolonged period of time. 3. a learned experience in paying attention to certain important stimulations (like listening to a lecture) while tuning out certain other less important stimulations (like the itchiness of a sweater).
89
In adults, how is recovery from injury promoted in the CNS?
through neuroplasticity. Neuronal communication sites are continuously being created and broken.
90
Why does functional regeneration of axons occur more frequently in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) than in the CNS?
Because of the production of nerve growth factor by Schwann cells, the clearing of debris, and residual Schwann cell sheaths that guide peripheral axonal regrowth to the target. Schwann cells don’t exist in the CNS. If rehabilitative exercise begins 5 days after a (neurological injury) peripheral nerve lesion it can increase axonal regeneration and innervation of a muscle.
91
What are some rehabilitation mechanisms that can promote beneficial neural plasticity?
1. Initiating therapy early after injury (for example rehabilitative exercise beginning 5 days after a peripheral nerve lesion), while avoiding vigorous use or overuse of the impaired extremity (such as in the upper limb). 2. Practicing many repetitions of specific tasks to elicit beneficial adaptive neuroplasticity (such as in habituation and motor cortical reorganization) 3. The use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to enhance or inhibit motor learning and memory formation. 4. Using evidenced-based therapy for chronic strokes such as task-specific training (for example forced use training (FUT)/ constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT).
