Higher brain dysfunction　　

LOSS OF FUNCTION

The role of higher brain functions is to select appropriate behaviors in response to the demands of the environment and the self, and to correctly guide actions and objective activities.

In the area of higher brain function, support actions and movements to enhance skills.

The practical act itself becomes a means of recognizing the relationship between certain properties and characteristics of the object. The internalization and accumulation of external practical actions and motor trials become higher brain functions.

For example, in hand apraxia, the inability to correctly call the mother or index finger is a later concern. Poor finger movement becomes a problem. The mother finger acts as the mother finger. The index finger acts as the index finger. The little finger acts as the little finger. Help each of the five fingers play a unique role in the unique task of holding a spoon, using a pen, or using scissors. For hand apraxia, help the child to perform the task accurately and efficiently; encouraging skill movement is an effective way to interact with the child.

The manipulation of information in the brain has been made possible by fMRI, PET, and other techniques that allow us to visualize the regions of activity.　Areas of the brain that are active when complex finger movements are performed are active when the brain is asked to perform calculations or spatial imagery.　Activity in motor-related areas such as the lateral premotor area, anterior supplementary motor area, basal ganglia, and cerebellum is observed in information processing in the brain.

Movement and brain activity are related, brain activity leads to movement, and movement represents brain activity.　Therefore, assisting movement leads to assisting activity in the brain.

People with higher brain function problems have poor movement and object manipulation. Poor movement is directly related to problems such as inactivity, overactivity, bias, and lack of switching in the brain.

　The movements of those with higher brain dysfunction are sedentary and limited. Their neural activity also falls into a limited pattern of activity. The impairment is clearly visible in the target activity or task. Guide the movement so that the performance of the target activity or task is accurate, efficient, and successful. By changing the movement as the objective or task is performed, the pattern of neural activity can be changed.

In development, tactile perception leads to visual perception. After tactile and visual perception, language is acquired, meaning and encoding. Tactile perception is generated by movement. skill movement (organized movement) gives discrimination to tactile perception. Movement precedes higher brain functions. Higher brain functions lead to successful elaboration of movements and tasks, and successful elaboration of movements and tasks is a function of higher brain functions.

The conceptual apraxia also assists in skillful use of tools. Later, we will help them to relate tools to language, meaning, and encoding.

In hemiparetic neglect, the hand is slowly moved from the non-paralyzed side to the paralyzed side in a gradual manner. Relatively small tasks such as coloring and stacking blocks are easier to assist. Encourage them to paint evenly and neatly in coloring books.
