READING, WRITING
Read for 80 seconds in HOW TO BIOHACK YOUR BRAIN by Kristin MyooMyay. She says there are 7 common conditions that CAN affect the brain:
- ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE. 5.8 million Americans have it; 1/10 in people over 65; cause believed to be abnormal deposits - "amyloid plaque" - along with tangled bundles of fibers called "tau." Signs of AD show up decades before symptoms: memory loss, difficulty understanding & completing familiar tasks, decreased judgment, among other problems.
- PARKINSON'S DISEASE. 2nd most common neurodegenerative disease in US; 1.5 million affected; symptoms: muscle rigidity, tremors, overall difficulty moving, posture, handwriting, speech; cause still unknown (but head trauma, exposure to chemicals might play roles)
- DEMENTIA. Not a disease, but a term used to describe a broad condition marked by a significant decline in cognitive function. 1/6 women & 1/10 men over age 55 develop some form of dementia.
- CONCUSSION ("MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY"). Defined as a blow to the head, but no loss of consciousness for more than 30 minutes, resulting in a mild traumatic brain injury. (If loss of consciousness lasts for 30+ minutes, it's called a traumatic brain injury). 2-4 million concussions occur annually. Symptoms: memory loss, fatigue, headache, visual impairment, mood changes.
- ANXIETY
- DEPRESSION
- STROKE
