I-Cerebral Atrophy

Ubuchopho bomuntu buyisitho esimangalisayo esibhekene namakhono ethu okuqonda, imizwelo, kanye nokuphila kahle. Kodwa-ke, njengoba sikhula noma sibhekana nezimo ezithile zezokwelapha, i- Ubuchopho ingabhekana nenqubo ebizwa ngokuthi i-cerebral atrophy noma i-brain atrophy. Lesi simo singaba nemiphumela efinyelela kude, sithinte izinga lempilo yomuntu kanye nokusebenza kwengqondo. Ukuqonda izimbangela, izimpawu, nezindlela zokuxilonga ze-cerebral atrophy kubalulekile ekuxazululeni le nkinga eyinkimbinkimbi.

Iyini i-Cerebral Atrophy (Brain Atrophy)?

I-Cerebral atrophy (eyaziwa nangokuthi i-brain atrophy) ukulahlekelwa kwama-neurons nokuxhumana kwawo. Kungabangela ukuncishiswa kobukhulu bobuchopho noma ezigabeni ezithile, kuthinte izinqubo ezihlukene zobuchopho kuye ngezifunda ezihilelekile. Lokhu kulahlekelwa kwezicubu zobuchopho kungaholela ekukhubazekeni okuhlukahlukene kwengqondo, kwezimoto, nokusebenza.

Yini Ebangela I-Brain Atrophy?

Kunezici eziningana ezingaba nomthelela ekuthuthukiseni i-cerebral atrophy, kuhlanganise:

• Ukuguga: Njengoba sikhula, ubuchopho ngokwemvelo buba nenqubo yokuguga kancane kancane, okuyingxenye evamile yokuguga. Le atrophy ehlobene nobudala ngokuvamile ihamba kancane futhi ihamba kancane futhi ingathinta izifunda zobuchopho ezihlukene ngamanani ahlukahlukene.
