affect balance brain centers disruption early explain helps loss motor movement people regulate saw tissue
We saw up to a 15-percent tissue loss in the brain centers that regulate motor skills, such as movement and coordination. This helps explain the slowed reflexes and disruption of balance and gait that often affect people with early AIDS.
ability accurate brain clinical counting detail help mapping monitor obtain patients physicians test
Brain mapping can help physicians monitor patients with more accurate detail than they can obtain by counting T-cells. The scans also can test new drugs' ability to penetrate the brain during clinical trials.
aids appear attacks brain came cannot hiv provides sanctuary selective slow surprises therapy
Two big surprises came out of this study. First, that AIDS is selective in how it attacks the brain. Second, drug therapy does not appear to slow the damage. The brain provides a sanctuary for HIV where most drugs cannot follow.
brain consider follows function harms hiv immune loss meaning people poor separate severe system tissue
Tissue loss follows T-cell loss, meaning that people with poor immune function also show severe brain damage. This was a revelation. We used to consider these separate phenomena, because HIV harms the brain and immune system in different ways. Now we see they are intrinsically linked.
aids allowing attacks brain centers damage motor precisely skills top understand virus
The brain scan really catches AIDS red-handed, allowing us to see precisely where the damage is. For the first time, we can understand why motor skills deteriorate with AIDS, because the virus attacks the motor centers on top of the brain.
agree brain continues decline effects ended george mental negative net stop throughout
It used to be thought that brain development ended in young adulthood, but now we know (it) continues throughout life. I think George would agree that it doesn't stop in the 50s. It's just overtaken by the negative effects of aging, so that the net effect is mental decline after that age.
anyone brain extremely grows shown time
This is the first time that anyone has shown that the brain grows differently in extremely intelligent children.
ability battle boards defended drive floor focus foul good knew played point shoot size trouble
We knew she fouled a lot. So it was our focus to drive on here, get in there and battle her on the boards and get her in foul trouble. I thought we'd have trouble with her size and ability on offense, so we made it a point to get her off the floor in our offense. Overall, I really thought we defended well. That's a good team, they can shoot the ball. We played well defensively.
found last
We found that the frontal lobes were the last to develop,
bit came fourth game happen kids offense quarter ran
We had a little bit of a letdown, but I think that's going to happen in a game like this. But the kids came back out in the fourth quarter and ran our offense right again.
consistency couple games good runs six stamp took
We weren't good enough in the big games. We didn't stamp our authority. We went on good runs for six games or so then took a couple off and never got that consistency going.
calls created deal overload phone problem system thousands
We've had thousands of calls and there were so many it created an overload on our phone system so that's been another problem that we've had to deal with.
battle behind game girls kept
We had to battle from behind all game long. And these girls just kept coming. They never quit.
fair future hoping wrong
I don't know what the future holds, I'm just hoping for a fair go from people. I haven't done anything wrong for 10 years now.
