This weeks topic :Chapter 2-The Lobes of the Brain

Overview

Dementias attack and destroy the brain during the course of the disease. As each lobe of the brain becomes damaged, the Person With Dementia will display different and unique behaviors indicating which lobe of the brain is being affected. Learn the lobes and what they should do and what they begin to do once cellular tructures, neurotransmitters and normal function are impaired.
The behaviors displayed by a PWD are actually clues to where the disease is and tell us what to expect next. Knowing these changes in brain function helps prepare care plans that incorporate the anticipated decline. Staff members will begin to understand the behaviors are not purposeful but are a result of brain damage.
