1. 4 Ts Elements affecting sexual energy
within a marriage.
Time together; talking together; trusting each other; touching each other
2. 504 Plan A written plan developed by a general
Section 504 of education school committee outlining
the accommodations to be made by a K-12 or
Rehabilitation post-secondary school that receives federal
Act of 1973 funds for a student with a disabling condition
that substantially limits a major life activity.
3. Chronic Traumat- Also known as dementia pugilistica, refers to a condition, diagnosed after death,
ic Encephalopa- relative to multiple concussions caused by significant force. A progressive degen-
thy (CTE) erative disease that is most often sustained by athletes participating in contact
sports, where it is sometimes termed punch drunk. May also be observed in
domestic violence victims or abused children who have sustained numerous
blows to the head. It begins very slowly with deterioration in concentration,
attention, memory, judgment, and insight, occasionally accompanied by dizziness
and headaches. Severe symptoms of eventually show symptoms of Parkinsonism,
including disturbed coordination, slowed gait, slurred speech, masked facies,
difficulty swallowing and tremors.
4. Acquired Brain An injury to the brain that is not hereditary, congenital, degenerative, or induced
Injury (ABI) by birth trauma
5. Traumatic Brain an alteration in brain function, or other evidence of brain pathology, caused by
Injury (TBI) an external force
6. closed injuries Can cause brain lacerations and contusions, or intracerebral hemorrhage within
the brain causing focal injuries. i.e. coup-countercoup, and/or diffuse injury
resulting from tearing or shearing of axons i.e. Diffuse axonal injury (DAI)
7. Open injuries

Breach of the skull or a breach of the meninges. These injuries often result in focal
injuries (such as epidural or SDH, or ICH) or penetrating injury i.e. gunshot wound
8. Mild TBI (mTBI) Can have either brief or no loss of consciousness and its presentation may demon-
strate vomiting, lethargy, dizziness, and inability to recall what just happened.
9. Moderate TBI Will be marked by unconsciousness for any period of time up to 24hours, will have
neurological signs of brain trauma, including skull fractures with contusion or
bleeding, and may have focal findings on an electroencephalograph (EEG)/com-
puted tomography (CT) scan.
Normal or abnormal structural imaging; LOC >30min and <24 hr; AOC >24 hr
severity based on other criteria; PTA >1 and <7 days; GCS = 9-12
10. Severe TBI Marked by a period of loss of consciousness of 24 hours or greater.
Normal or abnormal structural imaging; LOC >24 hr; PTA >7 days; GCS = 3-8
11. Incidence occurrence; i.e. a certain number of brain injuries within a given year.
12. Prevalence of In- The number of people with a given condition (i.e. ABI) at a specific point in time
jury
13. Mild Brain Injury Injury to the brain, with Glasgow Coma Scores (GCS) between 13-15; Normal
(mBI) Structural Imaging; LOC = 0-30 minutes; AOC = from a moment up to 24hr; PTA =
0-1 day
14. Akinesia slowness or loss of movement
15. epidural Hematoma on the surface of the meninges but inside the skull, displacing the
hematoma (EDH) brain
16. Subdural Bleeding between the dura mater and the arachnoid layers of the meninges.
Hematoma

17. Hypoxia decreased amount of O2 to the brain
18. Anoxia no O2 to the brain completely
19. Medulla the base of the brainstem; controls heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, swal-
lowing, vomiting, and sneezing
20. Pons Part of the brainstem that is essential for facial movement and sensations, hearing
and coordinating eye movements.
Enables the thinking part of the brain (Cortex) to work with the moving part of the
brain (Cerebellum)
21. Mid Brain Part of the brain stem that plays a pivotal role in alertness and arousal
22. Basal Ganglia directs intentional movements
23. computed to- a scanning technique using multiple X-rays to construct three-dimensional im-
mography (CT) ages
24. magnetic reso- a technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce computer-gen-
nance imaging erated images that distinguish among different types of soft tissue; allows us to
(MRI) see structures within the brain, also in 3D
25. Diffusion Tensor an imaging method that uses a modified MRI scanner to reveal bundles of
Imaging (DTI) myelinated axons in the living human brain; illustrates the neural pathways that
are affected.
26. Synaptogenesis formation of new synapses
27. Excitotoxicity the property by which neurons die when overstimulated, as with large amounts
of glutamate; This makes the neurons fire repeatedly therefore accumulating fatal
levels of sodium and calcium.
