Thérapie cognitivo-comportementaleLes thérapies comportementales et cognitives ou TCC (en anglais, cognitive behavioral therapy ou CBT) regroupent un ensemble de traitements des troubles psychiatriques (notamment addictions, psychoses, dépressions et troubles anxieux) qui partagent une approche selon laquelle la technique thérapeutique doit être fondée sur les connaissances issues de la psychologie scientifique. Elles doivent obéir à des protocoles relativement standardisés. Elles évaluent souvent l'évolution du patient au cours de la thérapie.
Parent management trainingParent management training (PMT), also known as behavioral parent training (BPT) or simply parent training, is a family of treatment programs that aims to change parenting behaviors, teaching parents positive reinforcement methods for improving pre-school and school-age children's behavior problems (such as aggression, hyperactivity, temper tantrums, and difficulty following directions).
Electric motorAn electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft. An electric generator is mechanically identical to an electric motor, but operates with a reversed flow of power, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.
Radiologie interventionnelleLa est une spécialité de la radiologie. Elle désigne l'ensemble des actes médicaux réalisés par des radiologues et sous contrôle radiologique, permettant le traitement ou le diagnostic invasif (examen invasif) de nombreuses pathologies. Le principe de la radiologie interventionnelle est donc d’accéder à une lésion située à l’intérieur de l’organisme pour effectuer un acte diagnostique (prélèvement par exemple) ou thérapeutique (visant à soigner, réparer, refermer...).
Habit reversal trainingHabit reversal training (HRT) is a "multicomponent behavioral treatment package originally developed to address a wide variety of repetitive behavior disorders". Behavioral disorders treated with HRT include tics, trichotillomania, nail biting, thumb sucking, skin picking, temporomandibular disorder (TMJ), lip-cheek biting and stuttering. It consists of five components: awareness training, competing response training, contingency management, relaxation training, and generalization training.
Cognitive impairmentCognitive impairment is an inclusive term to describe any characteristic that acts as a barrier to the cognition process or different areas of cognition. Cognition, also known as cognitive function, refers to the mental processes of how a person gains knowledge, uses existing knowledge, and understands things that are happening around them using their thoughts and senses. A cognitive impairment can be in different domains or aspects of a person's cognitive function including memory, attention span, planning, reasoning, decision-making, language (comprehension, writing, speech), executive functioning, and visuospatial functioning.
Réseau de neurones (biologie)En neurosciences, un réseau de neurones correspond, schématiquement : Soit à un nombre restreint de différents neurones interconnectés, qui ont une fonction précise, comme le ganglion stomatogastrique qui contrôle l'activité des muscles de l'estomac des crustacés. Soit à un grand nombre de neurones similaires interconnectés, qui ont des fonctions plus cognitives, comme les réseaux corticaux qui permettent entre autres la catégorisation.
Rehabilitation (neuropsychology)Rehabilitation of sensory and cognitive function typically involves methods for retraining neural pathways or training new neural pathways to regain or improve neurocognitive functioning that have been diminished by disease or trauma. The main objective outcome for rehabilitation is to assist in regaining physical abilities and improving performance. Three common neuropsychological problems treatable with rehabilitation are attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), concussion, and spinal cord injury.
Prolonged exposure therapyProlonged exposure therapy (PE) is a form of behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy designed to treat post-traumatic stress disorder. It is characterized by two main treatment procedures – imaginal and in vivo exposures. Imaginal exposure is repeated 'on-purpose' retelling of the trauma memory. In vivo exposure is gradually confronting situations, places, and things that are reminders of the trauma or feel dangerous (despite being objectively safe). Additional procedures include processing of the trauma memory and breathing retraining.
MotoneuroneLes motoneurones constituent la voie de sortie du système nerveux central ou la voie finale de tout acte moteur. Les corps cellulaires des motoneurones sont situés soit dans le tronc cérébral, soit dans la corne ventrale de la substance grise de la moelle épinière. Chaque motoneurone possède un axone qui part du système nerveux central pour innerver les fibres musculaires d'un muscle. L'ensemble constitué par un motoneurone et les fibres musculaires qu'il innerve constitue une unité motrice.
