Today is CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) Awareness Day. In the following slides, let us learn more about the risk factors, causes and prevention about this neurological condition. #QMetrx #CTE #AwarenessDay

How Trauma Impacts the Brain: An Overview Trauma significantly reshapes the brain's structure and function, influencing emotions, memory, and behavior. Here's a breakdown: 1. Amygdala: Fear and Emotion Center Role: Processes fear, emotions, and threats. Effect: Trauma hyperactivates the amygdala, leading to heightened fear responses, hypervigilance, and difficulty distinguishing real danger from safe situations. 2. Hippocampus: Memory and Learning Center Role: Helps regulate memory and differentiate past experiences from the present. Effect: Trauma shrinks the hippocampus, impairing memory coherence. This causes flashbacks and intrusive memories, where past trauma feels like present danger. 3. Prefrontal Cortex: Executive Function Role: Controls reasoning, decision-making, and impulse regulation. Effect: Trauma suppresses the prefrontal cortex, making emotional regulation and rational decision-making challenging. It also struggles to override fear signals from the amygdala. 4. Corpus Callosum: Brain Hemisphere Connector Role: Facilitates communication between logical and emotional processing. Effect: Trauma reduces its size and function, leading to difficulty integrating emotions and logic cohesively. 5. HPA Axis: Stress Regulation System Role: Manages stress responses through cortisol release. Effect: Trauma dysregulates the HPA axis, causing chronic stress, anxiety, depression, and eventual burnout of the stress response system. 6. White Matter and Neural Connectivity Role: Enables communication between different brain areas. Effect: Trauma disrupts white matter pathways, impairing connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and amygdala, making emotional regulation and stress management harder. Long-Term Effects of Trauma: Neuroplasticity: The brain can heal and rewire through therapy and mindfulness. Emotional Dysregulation: Chronic trauma may cause mood swings, irritability, or emotional numbing. Memory Fragmentation: Traumatic experiences may remain fragmented, making them hard to integrate into coherent narratives. Healing and Recovery: Therapy: EMDR, somatic experiencing, and trauma-focused CBT can help rewire the brain. Mind-Body Practices: Meditation, yoga, and breathwork reduce amygdala activity and enhance prefrontal cortex functioning. Social Support: Building supportive connections aids healing and resilience. Your brain has the incredible ability to heal. With the right support and strategies, recovery is always possible. #Trauma #Neuroscience #EmotionalRegulation #HealingJourney #BrainHealth #Neuroplasticity #MentalHealthMatters #Resilience #MindBodyConnection #TraumaInformedCare

Nice paper-10 rules to overcome overreading normal variance EEG. 1.When the alpha rhythm is ample, all physiological and unusual waveforms are accordingly ample 2.Most Spike or sharp wave discharges of clinical import are followed by a slow wave or series of slow deflections 3.Normal EEG variants display a single non-evolving rhythm. The morphology is stable with repetition of the same pattern throughout the entire EEG recording and subsequent EEGs 4.Phase reversals merely indicate localization 5.IEDs and EEG background variations differ in their EEG reactivity patterns 6.Drowsiness and NREM sleep facilitate the occurrence of IEDs 7. Wickets spike are best identified during sleep 8.REM sleep is relatively protective against IEDs and epileptic seizures 9.Seizures may disrupt sleep patterns 10.epilepsy is and must remain a clinical diagnosis. https://lnkd.in/g-2kDAhu

January is Mental Wellness Month. Let us highlight the importance of having mental, emotional, physical, and social balance in our lives. Mental wellness is an active process of developing resilience that enables us to grow, thrive, and establish connections with others while being aware of our thoughts and emotions. Read the following slides below to learn more about mental wellness and tips on how to take care ourselves: #QMetrx #MentalWellness

The only LED lights that can meet the new US Dept. of Energy (DOE) 125 lumens/ watt minimum for light bulbs have a very artificial light spectrum. They miss wavelengths in the natural daylight spectrum that are essential for health. They emit no ultraviolet or violet light, or red light, and no infrared. The only function of light protected by the 125 lumens/watt rule is the visual perception of brightness which is determined by the green and yellow content of the light. The other light wavelengths that are critical for health (see table) are treated as wasted watts, so they cannot easily be provided in a light bulb designed to meet the 125 lumens per watt standard. Unless we reverse this 125 lumens per watt rule before 2028, light bulbs that will be banned will include: -- Broad spectrum LED light bulbs that mimic the natural visible light spectrum -- Zero blue Circadian night light bulbs that use a violet LED chip instead of a blue chip -- Light bulbs that provide infrared as well as visible light -- Light bulbs that also provide bacterial decontamination -- Red light bulbs for nighttime use A petition has been drafted to repeal the 125 lumens per watt rule.
