Brain connectivity is one of the most enigmatic question posed to neuro-biologists. The establishment of this intricate network in prenates and neonates brain is influenced in equal measures by environmental and biological factors. In it's extension, certain environmental stimulation boost the parameters for improved brain connectivity. One such factor is auditory stimulation. It is widely believed that use of such stimulation increases cognitive functions. With the present understanding of the underlying mechanism use of auditory stimulation can be used for reprogramming brain connectivity. Studies indicate the effective reprogramming in psychiatric disorders such as autism and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and ALS, where …show more content…

Environmental factors tend to modify the inputs received by the sensory pathway.

The developing brain is most vulnerable to these alterations and interacts with the environment to modify its neural circuitry. In addition to other sensory stimuli, auditory stimulation can also act as external stimuli to provide enrichment during the perinatal period. There is evidence that suggests that enriched environment in the form of auditory stimulation can play a substantial role in modulating plasticity during the prenatal period.

The molecular mechanisms of various changes in the hippocampus following sound stimulation to effect neurogenesis, learning and memory are described. Sound stimulation can also modify neural connectivity in the early postnatal life to enhance higher cognitive function or even repair the secondary damages in various neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Thus, it becomes imperative to examine in detail the possible bettering effects of prenatal sound stimulation in various psychiatric disorders, such as

Branch Davidian Children Most of us are aware that things that happen in early childhood may impact us throughout our lives. Some individuals seem not so affected by them, while others have a hard time recovering from the events. This is especially true when it comes to living in abusive situations. In abusive situations, everyone is impacted, but children are more prone to negatives experiences.

EVAS, he experiences irregular shifts in his hearing ability so monitoring his audiogram is vital for effective communication, so one service that needs to be added is regular audiological evaluations when a change in hearing is suspected or at least monthly. The acoustics of classrooms and other learning environments can significantly alter how Sam has access to spoken language. So the audiological evaluations need to include at minimum an aided audiogram and evaluation of personal amplification (hearing aides) and educational modification (FM unit). My preference for this type of evaluation is for an ASHA certified Educational Audiologist. This should be completed whenever there is a documented change in hearing or any changes in seating

Cochlear implants are a medical device that help a deaf person hear sound. I believe these implants are a great way to help deaf people experience sound. With this devise they can hold a conversation with a person of hearing. The deaf community could get even higher jobs then what they normally get. They can better understand the culture of hearing people as well as hearing better understanding the deaf people.

4. Topic: Behavioral Audiometry In Behavioral Observational Audiometry the observer decides if an infant is responding to a stimulus based on changes in sucking, eye gaze, and other potential reactions. The responses are then measured against the Auditory Behavior Index, which lists where the minimum response level is for typical hearing children for the first two years of life. Unfortunately, BOA is not appropriate for pure tone threshold testing of infants because the Auditory Behavior Index does not measure sensitivity, it measures responsivity, so it is not a reliable source of audiometric information.

The purpose of this paper is to revisit previous literature addressing universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS), review current practices of UNHS, evaluate the factors relating to UNHS, and identify areas for improvement. The importance of identifying hearing loss before 3 months, and receiving intervention by 6 months of age relates to children’s speech, language, academic, and social-emotional development. Early diagnosis allows a longer period of time for families to obtain necessary information and receive support they may need (Yoshinaga-Itano, 2003). The ultimate goal of UNHS is to detect hearing loss early in order to treat hearing loss sooner, potentially preventing a delay in children’s overall development (National Institute of

Children are the one who will shape our country's future, but how can they make a good future if they are not taken care of correctly? The influence of a parent on their child is extremely important, and a child’s development can move quickly, especially when they are young. Sometimes children are born into a bad home, and this can lead to setbacks and delays in a child’s growth. In addition, the government can sometimes get involved and remove children from these bad situations, but a lot of people don’t think that it is right. Some people think that the government is just making the child’s life worse, but this isn’t the case.

Cognitive, neurological and brain development (Acquiring knowledge and the nervous system). Between birth to 6 months babies and children use their senses to become aware e.g. knowing they are hungry, as well as recognising key people in their lives and responding to physical smiles. In the next 6 months, they are beginning to understand tone of voice and begin to have favourite toys. Between 1 to 2 years children start to use objects correctly e.g. a cup.

Using positive sensory stimulation (through all five senses) in brief intervals will help these sensory pathways to become strong and therefore will achieve a sense of permanent learning. As pathways develop, it will be easier for parents to understand the needs of their babies. By providing them with physical, emotional, and cognitive experiences, they will gain much more knowledge to use in the future. They need room for mobility, for hands-on exploration ( manipulating objects, touching and exploring the world around them), and for communication in increased intervals and for longer periods of time. By exposing infants to these experiences, they will begin to become more comfortable with the world around them, which will encourage their own sensory stimulation and help to develop a connection with their

Is it morally permissible for a deaf couple to select for a deaf child? Would it be acceptable if the preimplantation genetic diagnosis provides the opportunity and hearing impaired parents choose to have a child with hearing disability? Some people draw parallels with intentionally harming a baby, e.g. depriving the child of his/her hearing sense . Thus, they say, it is unethical. Some people argue that by choosing the child with disability it harms the society .

It might be obvious that music impacts people physically, but understanding how music and the brain interact is a deep study and a mystery. Music can have an affect on brain development. One of the first things that occurs when music enters the brain is the “triggering of pleasure centers”, this releases dopamine, a feeling that makes you happy. The response is so quick that the brain can anticipate the most pleasurable peaks in familiar music, and that can cause the early dopamine rush (Golstein).
