Dissociative Identity Disorder
For our project we explain the differences between an healthy brain and a brain that suffers from DID. People with DID have smaller amygdala and hippocampus. I learn that those functions is used to help you remember things and having a smaller one makes it harder.
Dissociative Identity Disorder
This benchmark gives a simple description of a healthy and non healthy brain with Dissociative Identity disorder or D.I.D. From this project alone I learned a lo about how our brain functions. Depending on the size of the parts in your brain. In this case if it's too small you won't be able to use it to it's full ability. Although people can survive and properly function without certain parts of their brain. With that being said only certain parts of the brain will be affected.
Schizophrenia
In this Project we learned the different ways schizophrenia affects the brain and I learned that schizophrenia tends to affect people more as they get older and it usually worsens rather than get better. It effects the person's limbic system which is the system that control's their emotions and this causes them to be unable to know the difference between what is real and what isn't. Doctors usually prescribe an anti-psychotic drug to hep with this.

Alzheimer's Disease
Slide Show: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1yBXZ9RtHs9omjIr-KG794owOl5jeb3-txRYFj3PXoDE/edit?usp=sharing This projects teachers what a healthy nervous system is like compared to a nervous system with Alzheimer's Disease. This scary and pretty common disease not only affects your life but the people around you as well.
Schizophrenia
In this diagram you will find out how our disease Schizophrenia affects the brains nervous system. We include definitions of the different parts of the brain and what the effects can do to damage the brain. Overall I learned a lot about schizophrenia much damage it can cause. This disease can change your whole life around and we need to make sure that people are aware of it and get the proper treatment needed if they are affected by it.

Dissociative Identity Disorder
This project will give you breif descriptions of a healthy brain vs a brain with Dissociative Identity disorder or DID. I learned from this lots about how theability for certain parts of the brain to function depends on the size. If said region is too small you won't be able to use it to its full potential. I also learned that people are able to function naturally with some of their brain lacking function. The job of that part of the brain is most likely the only part affected.
Schizophrenia: Nervous System Affects

I learned that combining drugs for schizophrenia patients is more beneficial than just the antipsychotic drugs they are given. Doctors usually prescribe their patient an antipsychotic drug and later on an antidepressant, mood stabilizer, or benzodiazepine. They conducted a study to prove which one is more beneficial to the patient.

Throughout this project, I learned that Schizophrenia affects brain tissue and in the beginning stages they seem to have less brain tissue than a normal brain. After the first two years, their brain tissue is lost. People with this disease could Antipsychotic, Medications, Therapy, Seeing A Specialist, Known as Incurable Disorder.
Stress and you
Link to website: https://sites.google.com/slabeeber.org/stress-and-the-nervous-system/home?authuser=0 For the most part, I have learned that stress can trigger things such as an adrenaline rush and that stress can be used as a way to survive throughout the life of humans.
