  2. Constraint-induced movement therapy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constraint-induced...

    Determination of the type of restraint used for therapy depends on the required level of safety vs. intensity of therapy. Some restraints restrict the wearer from using their hand and wrist, though allow use of their non-involved upper extremity for protection by extension of their arm in case of loss of balance or falls.

  3. Self-control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-control

    The participants received MRI scans to show brain activity. The results showed that those who exhibited lower levels of self-control had higher brain activity in the ventral striatum, the area that deals with positive rewards. [64] Self-control is negatively correlated with sociotropy [65] which in turn is correlated with depression. [66]

  4. Inhibitory control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inhibitory_control

    Inhibitory control, also known as response inhibition, is a cognitive process – and, more specifically, an executive function – that permits an individual to inhibit their impulses and natural, habitual, or dominant behavioral responses to stimuli (a.k.a. prepotent responses) in order to select a more appropriate behavior that is consistent with completing their goals.

  5. Brain–body interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainbody_interaction

    Brainbody interactions are patterns of neural activity in the central nervous system to coordinate the activity between the brain and body. The nervous system consists of central and peripheral nervous systems and coordinates the actions of an animal by transmitting signals to and from different parts of its body.

  6. Choke-out - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choke-out

    A choke-out is a hand-to-hand combat tactic involving the use of a chokehold to cause syncope, or temporary loss of consciousness, at which point the choke is released.. Common chokeholds in grappling used to accomplish a choke-out include the rear naked choke, arm triangle, triangle choke, and the guil

  7. Haemodynamic response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haemodynamic_response

    Changes in brain activity are closely coupled with changes in blood flow in those areas, and knowing this has proved useful in mapping brain functions in humans. The measurement of haemodynamic response, in a clinical setting, can be used to create images of the brain in which especially active and inactive regions are shown as distinct from ...

  8. Limb restraint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limb_restraint

    The most common limb restraint is physical, whereby restraints are fixed to the individual in order to prevent movement of the limbs. They are most commonly used within the field of medicine. However, opposed to physical restraints, chemical restraints are forms of psychoactive medication that intentionally inhibit an individual's behaviour or ...

  9. Autoregulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoregulation

    While most systems of the body show some degree of autoregulation, it is most clearly observed in the kidney, the heart, and the brain. [1] Perfusion of these organs is essential for life, and through autoregulation the body can divert blood (and thus, oxygen ) where it is most needed.
