Students Struggling With Math May Have a Neurocognitive Disorder Called Dyscalculia: Disorder Affects Roughly as Many People as Dyslexia

ScienceDaily (May 28, 2011) — Students who struggle to learn mathematics may have a neurocognitive disorder that inhibits the acquisition of basic numerical and arithmetic concepts, according to a new paper. Specialised teaching for individuals with dyscalculia, the mathematical equivalent of dyslexia, should be made widely available in mainstream education, according to a review of current research published in the journal Science.

I understand that the scentist had dicover a new disease called "Dyselxia" that I think it is a celebral disease and it work like the difficult showing knowledge in math.

It is very interesting that the people has difficult to understand about math skills, it could be a desease.

Why Am'I interested about this article? I am very interested this article a lot.
Also I'm think that how could a disease produce difficulties with a math knowledge.
I thought that the people who do not understand math it is normal, not for a disease.

What is my connexion between my life and the article? Actually I'm starting thinking that I have this desease because I have some difficulty to understand math.
but I'm sure that I can beat it If I work harder in my life.

Scientists Afflict Computers With 'Schizophrenia' to Better Understand the Human Brain

ScienceDaily (May 6, 2011) — Computer networks that can't forget fast enough can show symptoms of a kind of virtual schizophrenia, giving researchers further clues to the inner workings of schizophrenic brains, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin and Yale University have found.

The researchers used a virtual computer model, or "neural network," to simulate the excessive release of dopamine in the brain. They found that the network recalled memories in a distinctly schizophrenic-like fashion.

Their results were published in April in Biological Psychiatry.

"The hypothesis is that dopamine encodes the importance-the salience-of experience," says Uli Grasemann, a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science at The University of Texas at Austin. "When there's too much dopamine, it leads to exaggerated salience, and the brain ends up learning from things that it shouldn't be learning from."

I understand that Scientist who are work in university of texas, affirmed that the schizophrenia is like an old computer, it working strenght and could eliminate some information that you found.

For me, the schizophrenia is a topic very inportant for me because that people who is affect for this situation, it could see something that no one can see it but thise people has a difficult life because they are affraid to say the people what situation are surviving and how can solve it.

Why am I interested for this article?

Because I know what thiese people are surviving and I know that it is very difficult to say it. Also I did it not only to telling you that old computer is like the people who have schizophrenia, but also to make understand that it is very difficult to overcome this disease and they need family and friend support make sure to them that always we are here for them suporting and encouraging.

What is my comtribution?

People, please understand that the schizophrenia is a chronic disease and need you as your family, friend or boyfriend and girlfriend supporting and loving.
When I was kid, I had a guy who had the same situation like others and for a years, he was getting better for the love and advise of his family.

I'm studing this kind of disease in wellness and it is so sad because this people had not a normal life and most of them die because it is too much pain for abuse of their family and they think that he cannot support and the only way to stop is suiciding.

this is a quote to reflect:

“A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.”
