Q

Neural Tube Defects

A

-Anencephaly: head does not develop
-Chiari Malformation: foramen magnum contains part of brainstem
-Spina Bifida
-Tethered cord syndrome: filum terminale is stretched

16
Q

Geriatric Cognition

A

-decreases everywhere
-long term memory and procedural are stable
-retention of new info stable but needs more cues
-visual recognition of objects are stable
-decrease in vocabulary

17
Q

Atypical Cognition Aging

A

-mood changes
-visual-spacial changes
-memory changes
-difficulty communicating

18
Q

Mild cognitive impairment

A

-do not interfere with ADLS (unlike dementia and Alzheimer’s)
-90% develop alzheimer’s
-gradual, opposite of learning

19
Q

Causes of Aging Changes

A

-25% of motor neurons die
-myelin fragmented
-less dendrite density, less neurotransmitters, less synapses
-shrinkage
