Ataxic cerebral palsy accounts for five to ten percent of all cases of cerebral palsy. In this form of cerebral palsy, there is damage to a part of the brain called the cerebellum that helps maintain balance and coordination. When the cerebellum is damaged, it can result in poor muscle tone or hypotonia, difficulty maintaining balance and a normal gait, tremors, disorders of depth perception and an inability to control the range and motion of voluntary movements. As a result, children with ataxic cerebral palsy often demonstrate a wide-based, unsteady gait. They may also have intention tremors that are tremors that occur while attempting voluntary movements. Voluntary movements are typically clumsy and difficult to perform; finer movements, such as writing, are most severely affected. Coarser movements such as reaching for objects may also be difficult due to altered depth perception. Rapid, involuntary side-to-side movements of the eyeballs, or nystagmus, may also be present. Children with ataxic cerebral palsy may also suffer from several other conditions, such as seizures, mental retardation, and visual and hearing defects.

Again and again people usually make the same mistakes in their life. And can't jump away from this circle.
As you know there are two cerebral hemispheres in our brain. Left one is logical and right one gives us imagination. Most off people have dominating only ...
Special education has been assisting students with learning disabilities in the United States education system since the end of World War II. The first push for special education started when a group of parent-organized advocacy groups surfaced. In 1947 one of the first organizations, the American Association on Mental Deficiency, held its first convention. That marked a starting point for special education as we know it today.

Epilepsy is a condition of the nervous system causing instability of electrical signaling in the brain that affects 2.5 million Americans. Data depicts the prevalence of epilepsy that 180,000 people are diagnosed with epilepsy every year (What is epilepsy). It is evident that the human brain is powered by 80 pulses of energy per second. Movement of pulses between nerve cells produces thoughts, feelings and memories.
