Atrophy
Wasting of size or functional activity
Axon
A long 'slim wire' in the neuron that transmits signals from one cell body to another via junctions
known as synapses
Basal Ganglia
Four nerve clusters of the basal ganglia or "Nerve Knots" help handle physical movements by
relaying information from the cerebral cortex to the brainstem and cerebellem.
Brain stem
It is like the "point person" for all incoming and outgoing information and basic life functions.
Contains many of the centers for the senses of hearing, touch, taste, and balance. It does not
affect sight and smell.

movement, have loss of attention or stare vacantly, neither speaking not apparently hearing what
is said. May be excessive eye blinking, staring, or chewing movements. May be so brief that may
not be recognized.
Acquired Brain Injury
An injury to the brain occurring after birth that is not hereditary, congenital or degenerative; does
not refer to brain injuries induced by birth trauma.
Acitive Treatment interaction
Very broad concept that avoids caring for a person in a custodial sense or behaving in ways that
are likely to increase dependency within the relationship. The term implies directed action,
teaching, and a certain degree of risk taking.
