The Prospects of Applying of Technologies of Nonlinear Stimulation Therapy to Treat Amblyopia


Authored by Zueva Marina V

The theory of "fractality of sensations” links to the development and maintenance of the optimal complexity of the networks and functional activity of the brain with the complexity of the visual and other environmental signals that affect the person during the life. The need to control and maintain healthy fractal dynamics during the lifespan by using the natural and artificial cues of complex structure and dynamics was substantiated. In pathological conditions, when the dynamics of the rhythmic brain activity is disordered, or a simplification of visible environmental stimuli occurs, technologies of nonlinear stimulation therapy can be especially helpful. The use of complex stimuli can promote recovery of the brain in the aging, neurodegenerative diseases and amblyopia, acting through the reactivation of neuroplasticity. We argue here that nonlinear stimulation therapy can significantly enhance the effectiveness of the treatment of amblyopia. We believe that the increasing the plasticity potential, bringing it closer to that characterizes critical periods in the CNS development will significantly enhance the effectiveness of amblyopia treatment not only in children but also in the adult. Possible technical solutions for improving training video-games in the treatment of amblyopia are discussed based on the using the flashing background of various complexity.

Report of a Clinical Case in Agoraphobia: The Challenge to Fly-Juniper Publishers

Image
  JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL & DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES Abstract This is a report of a clinical case in which the patient wishes to modify dysfunctional avoidance behavior, in order to be able to confront his fears of elevators, high places and planes. The presence of activator tasks between sessions as motivation for the final objective was of significant importance. Cognitive behavior therapy was used as base methodology. It was concluded that it is an effective and tangible treatment for the agoraphobic, providing assistance and bringing success and applicability in this case [ 1 ]. Keywords: Agoraphobia; Systematic desensitization; Cognitive behavior therapy Introduction This study has the objective of reporting a clinical case of cognitive behavior therapy, which is short term structured therapy, focused on the resolution of problems.

Effect of Embedded Sensory Stimulation in the Design of Learning Framework for Increasing Attention Span of Children with Autism-Juniper Publishers

Image
  JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL & DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES Abstract The inattention deficit in children with autism has made teaching a challenge for teachers, parents and caregivers. This inattention also affects the triad of impairment: social, communication and pattern of behavior associated with them. Education has been identified as a relative cure for their impairments and use of technology as a medium for learning has been said by different studies as an effective way of teaching children with autism. Hence, some studies have come up with learning frameworks for developing educative software applications which focus on gaining the attention of the children with a learning disability such as autism during learning. Thus, this review presents existing learning frameworks in developing effective software learning system for children with autism. Keywords: Autism; Learning framework; Sensory stimulations ...

Cannabinoids in Autism and Fragile X Syndrome: Value-Based Treatment Revolution Ahead? -Juniper Publishers

Image
  JUNIPER PUBLISHERS - OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF INTELLECTUAL & DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES Introduction Cannabis has a long history in Central and South Asia, as it was used to produce hemp fibre for rope, clothing and paper, but was also consumed both for recreational and medicinal purposes. The two major neuro active components in cannabis are the psychoactive A9-tetrahydro-cannabinol (A9-THC) and the non-psychoactive cannabidiol (CBD). Recent years have seen a resurgence in interest in the therapeutic potential of compounds derived from cannabis, due to significant advances in our understanding of cannabis ingredients and endogenous brain cannabinoid (ECB) system, which consists of G-protein- coupled cannabinoid (CB) receptors, endocannabinoids such as N-Arachidonoylethanolamide (Anandamide) and 2-Arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG), synthetic and degradative enzymes, and transporters. Common medical conditions for which marijuana is allowed in the US (i.e., t...
