Transcript

-Mild

  • Confusion, headaches, or nausea for months after the injury

-Moderate

  • physical weakness, cognitive or communication impairments, difficultly learning new information

- Severe

  • Multiple physical cognitive, cognitive-communicative, social, emotional and behavioral problems that are long lasting

The hippocampus is involved in the storage of long-term memory, which includes all past knowledge and experiences

Limbic system that is responsible

for changing the emotional functions

and stress levels of the body.

Effects of Emotional Trauma on the Brain

Left brain VS right brain

The human brain is dived down the middle into two hemisphere, with each half performing a fairly distinct set of operations.

The brain's right hemisphere controls the muscles on the left side of the body, while the left hemisphere controls the muscles on the right side of the human body.

The two hemisphere communicate information to each other through the thick corpus callosum that connects them.

Differing severity of TBI

what is TBI?

Traumatic brain injury, often referred to as (TBI) is a condition resulting from a blow, bump or jolt to the head that disrupts the normal function of the brain

Structure of the Brain

Happy messengers

These three areas effect different body functions,

such as movement, memory, sleep, mood, pleasurable reward, behavior and cognition.

Chemical messengers

Vital chemicals carry messages between brain cells. They allow brain cells to talk to one another.

Serotonin

Dopamine

The nerve centre receive input from happy messengers and sad messengers.

Noradrenalin

The structure of the brain is an incredibly complex organ. The brain is protected by a bony covering called the cranium, which consists of three layers.

Techniques used:

Computed Tecnography (CT)

Diagnosing Brain Trauma

Anyone can be affected

  • Each year, nearly 1.7 million people suffer some form of TBI
  • Over five million people living with disabilities caused by TBI

Magnetoencephalography (MEG)

Arachnoid membrane

the middle layer of tissue

Magentic Resonance imaging (MRI)

The effects of Trauma on the Brain

Neuroimaging consist of a variety of brain scans. Neuroimaging scans generate images of the brain.

Dynamic CT or Dynamic MRI

Dura Mater

the outer layer

The patient will swallow a

substance before and during the scan if the patient seems to be using a lot of the substance in one area of the brain it can help provide information or detect the Trauma

The emotional wounds these traumatic events cause on the brain, are also known as post-traumatic stress disorder (P.T.S.D).

Flow sensitive MRI (FS MRI)

Pia Mater

closet to the surface

Position Emission Tomography (PET)

The amygdala, the hippocampus, and the ventro medical prefrontal cortex play a role in triggering the typical symptoms of PTSD

Effects of Trauma on Hippocampus

Chemical messengers or neurotransmitters are constantly active going between cells

Emotional brain instincts are more sensitive depending on female or male

The most significant neurological impact of trauma is seen in the hippocampus. PTSD patients show a considerable reduction in the volume of the hippocampus

Cerebrum

Functions of the Brain

Your Emotional Brain

Largest part of the human brain

Cerebrum two parts:

Hypothalamus, the hippocampus, and the amygdala work to create emotion

Emotions are controlled by the levels of different chemicals which are present and active in the brain

The right hemisphere and the left cerebral hemisphere. The right controls the left side

of the body, while the left cerebral hemisphere controls the right.

Cerebrum

Cerebrum controls the body temperature, movement, vision, hearing, touch, learning, problem solving and emotions

Brain Stem

The brain stem controls the essential body functions, breathing, cardiac function and muscle movements.

Cerebellum

Cerebelllum is located at the back of the skull in vertebrates. In front lies the brain stem, which serves as the body's main control panel that transmit messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
