Describe neurochemical and brain changes central to dementia.

Responding to a student DQ
Describe neurochemical and brain changes central to dementia. Discuss dietary factors that may be related to dementia. With these things in mind, recommend strategies for preventing dementia.

According to Kearney and Trull (2018), dementia involves cognitive deficits that are chronic, develop slowly, show a progressive course, and are usually irreversible. Cognitive deficits in dementia also involve problems with learning, memory, attention, language, recognition, planning, decision making, problem solving, concentration, judgment, and perceptual-motor ability (Kearney & Trull, 2018). These changes interfere with daily routines and can progress aggressively or mildly over time. Additionally, genetic predispositions can affect changes in the individual’s brain and treatment of dementia. For example, a person with neurofibrillary tangles will have enormous problems with higher-order behaviors such as thinking and memory be-cause the cortex and hippocampus of the brain are quite susceptible to this process (Yu, Boyle, Leurgans, Schneider, & Bennett, 2014).

In a journal entitled Nutrition and Risk of Dementia: Overview and Methodological Issues written by Martha Morris (2016), it was stated that:

Diets high in saturated and trans fats have been shown to increase cognitive decline and the risk of developing dementia and deleterious effects have been suggested for excessive intakes of iron, copper (in conjunction with high saturated-fat diets), and synthetic folate or folic acid, among individuals with low vitamin B12 status.

A good diet is the best prevention for dementia. The brain requires nutrients just as any other major organ in the human body. A healthy brain also affects ones mental health. Additionally, exercise would be beneficial as well.

Discuss the fabrication technique(s) used, the relevant physics that controls the operation of the device, the performance limits, applications, and commercial viability.

Find
at least three archival journal articles on the technology. You can’t
cite only a web address. References should be tied to specific sections
of the text.
The
citation should be in a form resembling: “A
Two-Stage Discrete Peristaltic Micropump,” J. M. Berg, R. C. Anderson, M.
Anaya, B. Lalouh, M. Holtz, and T. Dallas, Sensors and Actuators A 104,
pp. 6-10 (2003).

Write a review
of the technology using the journal articles. You should discuss the
fabrication technique(s) used, the relevant physics that controls the operation
of the device, the performance limits, applications, and commercial viability.
You can include figures and graphs from the articles you cite. You can make
your own diagrams to explain the technology. Target length: 10 pages, double
spaced, 12 point font, with pictures.

What important understandings do you want your children to learn through this study?

Preschool Age 3-5
For this part of planning your integrated study, you will use the forms below to help you think through these planning skills.
1. Write a rationale (reason) for your study. Discuss the indicators that your children are interested in this topic, the characteristics of the group of children for whom you will plan it, the resources available in the community and among families of the children, and your own interest related to the topic. (This is your reason for wanting to teach about this topic.)
2. Identify the broad goals of your study. These are broad statements of your desired end goals that cannot be accomplished in a single activity. (They are not specific learning objectives.) My goals are to help children learn to…
3. Research your topic. Do a web search to learn about your topic. Find accurate, up-to-date information to share with the children. You may want to find scholarly articles about the topic that are written for both young children and older children to use as resource information.
4. Write your big ideas. What important understandings do you want your children to learn through this study? Your big ideas should be written in simple language a child can understand.
Once you have done this, create a Brainstorming Web to record your ideas for many different possible activities related to your topic. Think of as many ideas as possible. You don’t have to use them all! You will be using some of these ideas in future modules to create lesson plans for physical development, communication, arts, and inquiry curriculum areas. You might find some great ideas by referring to the Indiana Foundations.
Use the forms below to record your thoughts and ideas. Submit them for this assignment.
