Article Directory :: Health & Fitness Articles Poor Children Have Brain Activity Similar to that of Stroke Victims By Katie Kelley Republish: EasyPublish™ Published: 23Dec2008 Word count: 418 Viewed: 295 time(s) Get Free Content For Your Site Researchers from the University of California (UC), Berkeley, recently conducted a study on comparing the brains of low-income children to that of high-income children. The results of the study found that the socioeconomic status of children factored as a major difference between the brain activity of the nine and 10 year olds that were studied. According to Cognitive Neuroscience, where the study will be published, and Science Daily, "kids from lower socioeconomic levels show brain physiology patterns similar to someone who actually had damage in the frontal lobe as an adult." The research showed that the lower income children had brain activity similar to that of a stroke victims, according to results from an electroencephalograph (EEG) machine, which is an electrode-filled cap that is also used to measure epilepsy or seizures, brain tumors and sleep disorders, according to news reports. The study also reported that the differences may lie within the "stressful environments and cognitive impoverishment" that surrounds the child. However, the results of the study have set off new research into how to decrease the gap of brain function among the two groups of children. Stroke Diagnosis and Side Effects The research conducted by UC Berkeley scientists determined that the low-income children's brains were similar to that of a brain-damaged stroke victim. A stroke's side effects and severity often depend on type type of stroke as well as "the area of brain affected and the extent of a brain injury," according to the American Heart Association (AHA). Stroke, however, does cause affects that are common among a brain injured individual including the following: * eyesight and other sensory disorders such as touch or awareness of * body positioning, according to the AHA * motor activity of arms, legs * ability to communicate and understand speech * behavioral and thought patterns * memory and emotions * cause paralysis or limb weakness, often common on one side of the body Overcome TBI, Stroke-Induced Brain Injury Because of the severity of TBI side effects, which range from behavioral and mood disorders to loss of memory and hearing difficulties, it remains imperative for a patient to locate an experienced traumatic brain injury attorney that can provide a free legal consultation as to the development of a brain injury lawsuit. Such a lawsuit may offer a return of monetary compensation that could pay for life-saving brain injury treatments as well as provide a comfortable net of compensation to fall back on in case insurance doesn't cover the entirety of brain injury treatments.
