Baddeley's model of working memoryBaddeley's model of working memory is a model of human memory proposed by Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch in 1974, in an attempt to present a more accurate model of primary memory (often referred to as short-term memory). Working memory splits primary memory into multiple components, rather than considering it to be a single, unified construct. Baddeley & Hitch proposed their three-part working memory model as an alternative to the short-term store in Atkinson & Shiffrin's 'multi-store' memory model (1968).
Trouble de l'humeurLe trouble de l'humeur est un groupe de diagnostics en provenance du système de classification du Manuel diagnostique et statistique des troubles mentaux dans lequel la thymie est principalement induite. Ce groupe de diagnostics est référencé sous le terme de dans la Classification internationale des maladies (CIM-10). Deux groupes de troubles de l'humeur sont largement reconnus ; cette division est basée sur le cas éventuel d'un patient ayant connu des épisodes maniaques ou hypomaniaques.
Ventricular zoneIn vertebrates, the ventricular zone (VZ) is a transient embryonic layer of tissue containing neural stem cells, principally radial glial cells, of the central nervous system (CNS). The VZ is so named because it lines the ventricular system, which contains cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The embryonic ventricular system contains growth factors and other nutrients needed for the proper function of neural stem cells.
NeuroscientistA neuroscientist (or neurobiologist) is a scientist who has specialised knowledge in neuroscience, a branch of biology that deals with the physiology, biochemistry, psychology, anatomy and molecular biology of neurons, neural circuits, and glial cells and especially their behavioral, biological, and psychological aspect in health and disease. Neuroscientists generally work as researchers within a college, university, government agency, or private industry setting.
Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomniaCognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is a technique for treating insomnia without (or alongside) medications. Insomnia is a common problem involving trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or getting quality sleep. CBT-I aims to improve sleep habits and behaviors by identifying and changing the thoughts and the behaviors that affect the ability of a person to sleep or sleep well. The first step in treating insomnia with CBT-I is to identify the underlying causes of insomnia.
Enrichissement environnementalL’enrichissement environnemental étudie comment le cerveau est affecté par la stimulation de ses centres de perception causé par tout ce qui l'entoure (y compris les opportunités d'interactions sociales). Le cerveau, dans un environnement plus riche et stimulant, a un nombre plus important de synapses, et les dendrites dans lesquelles elles résident sont plus complexes. Cet effet est d'autant plus important durant la phase de neurodéveloppement, mais persiste néanmoins à un degré moindre pendant l'âge adulte.
