Alzheimer's is an irremediable progressive brain disorder. A neurological disease that destroys brain cells leading to atrophy. The most common type of dementia. Mostly affect people in the old age group usually above 62-65 years old. Under-recognized disease becoming a major public health problem. symptoms include the inability to carry out the day-to-day tasks. Destruction of memory and thinking skills- also referred to as Mild Cognitive Impairment
Language problems. Unpredictable behavior (mood swings). Vision/spatial issues.
Impaired reasoning and judgment. With time as the disease progresses, some people become worried, angry, or violent. There are various factors responsible for this disease-
Accumulation of certain proteins such as tau and amyloid (form tangles inside neurons)
People with smoking habits, obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure are at higher risk of developing this disease.
Age, family history, and people who have had severe head injuries develop this disease more compared to others.
A person with untreated depression. In a person suffering from Alzheimer's Brain cells start to deteriorate. Brain inflammation and may lack the glucose needed to power its activity.
The vascular system fails to deliver sufficient blood and nutrients to the brain.
Neurons lose their ability to communicate.The entorhinal cortex and hippocampus (parts of the brain involved in memory) are damagedIn later stages, it affects the areas in the cerebral cortex.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

4. Structure and Function of Brain
The cerebral cortex is divided into four lobes:
• Occipital lobe,
• Temporal lobe,
• Parietal lobe,
• Frontal lobe.
5. I. Occipital Lobe
This lobe is responsible for:
• Visual reception,
• Visual–spatial processing and interpretation, and
• Color and motion recognition— that is in directing visual awareness to important features in the
environment.
• Damage to the occipital lobes can lead to visual impairments, including difficulty recognizing or
naming objects, visual hallucinations, or blindness.
6. II. Temporal Lobe
• Situated just above the ears on the lower-middle sides of the cerebral cortex.
• Contain the primary auditory cortex.
This Lobe is responsible for:
• Processing all auditory information.
• The posterior region of the left temporal lobe contains Wernicke’s area, which is responsible for
receptive language.
• This lobes also house the hippocampus, which is responsible for the consolidation of new, long-
term verbal and visual memories.
7. • Damage to the temporal lobes can lead to:
• memory problems, as well as problems with speech perception, hearing, and receptive
language.
• Left temporal lobe damage can result in challenges in:
• audio and visual recall,
• word recognition,
• memory for verbal material.
• Right temporal lobe damage can result in problems recognizing or remembering visual or
audio content.
8. III. Parietal Lobe
This lobe is responsible for
• Receiving and interpreting sensory information from various parts of the body.
• Also responsible for attention, spatial orientation, reading, and voluntary motion, as well as
complex visual processing, such as mentally rotating three-dimensional shapes.
• Damage to the left parietal lobe can result in:
• Aphasia (language disorder),
• Agnosia (abnormal object perception), or Gertsmann’s syndrome, which is characterized
agraphia or dysgraphia (writing disability),
• Acalculia or dyscalculia (a lack of understanding of the rules for calculation or arithmetic),
• Finger agnosia (an inability to distinguish right from left, and an inability to identify fingers).
9. • Damage to the right parietal lobe can also result in:
• Impaired personal care and impaired drawing ability.
• Bilateral parietal lobe damage can result in:
• Balint’s syndrome, which is characterized by an inability to perceive the visual field as a whole
(simultanagnosia),
• Difficulty in fixating the eyes (oculomotor apraxia),
• Inability to move the hand to a specific object by using vision (optic ataxia).
10. IV. Frontal Lobe
• Responsible for initiation of all voluntary movement, including speech production.
• Include the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for higher cognitive or executive functions.
• The lower left frontal lobe contains Broca’s area, which is responsible for expressive language.
11. Prefrontal Cortex:
PFC is responsible for:
i. higher cognitive or executive functions—what have been referred to as “top–down
processing”—or
ii. the application of cognition to perception or stimuli to inform response.
• Inhibitory Control
• Complex Motor Programming –
• Feed Forward System Executive Functions
• Intelligence Problem Solving
• Analytical Thinking Reductionistic
• Nonlinear Thinking Strategic
• Cognitive Controls Of Emotions
12. i. Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has extensive neural connections to sensory and motor cortices and is
involved in the regulation of action, thought, and an attention.
ii. Ventromedial prefrontal cortex has extensive connections to the limbic system, and is engaged in
the regulation of emotional responses.
PFC includes the orbitofrontal cortex, which is involved in goal selection and the ability to understand
and evaluate future rewards
Parts of PFC –
13. • Orbitofrontal:-
• Personality and social behavior,
• spontenous arousal and attention,
• arousal motivation drive,
• focus attention,
• Goal directed and purposeful behavior,
• initiating behavior, ability to change mental state,
• appropriateness of emotions and behavior.
• Lesions in the Orbitofrontal areas cause impairment of the above functions
14. • Dorsoletral :-
• Executive function and working memory,
• Complex motor Programming,
• Fluency of verbal ( speech and thinking ) & Visual Designs,
• Organizational capacity in learning, constructional stratergy for copying and building complex visual
designs,
• Hypothesis testing and changing mental state.
• Lesions in Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex cause impairment of the above functions.
16. • Anterior-cingualte Cortex :-
• Evaluation of choices ,
• Executive and Cognitive controls ,
• Emotional modulation.
• Effect of Frontal lesions - Personality, behavioral, emotional change.
• Impairment seen in the form of reduction of motivation, purposiveness, Goal direction, planning abilities etc.
• Patients may become :
• Disinhibition related symptoms such as More outspoken, excess thought,
• sexually oriented disinhibition,
• less worried about self, irritability,
• Have elevation in mood, loss of tact, superficiality.
17. • Limbic System –
• The limbic system is called “the emotional brain”.
• Responsible for emotional responsiveness, formation and consolidation of memories,
olfaction, and motivation.
• associated with what has been referred to as “bottom–up processing” or the experience of
information or stimuli based on sensory perception.
• The “emotional brain.”
18. • Generally thought to include the hypothalamus (responsible for controlling
autonomic functions including body temperature, hunger, thirst, and sleep),
• the hippocampus (involved in memory), the amygdala (which plays a key role
in emotional processing and responding),
• the cingulate cortex (which plays an important role in linking sensation,
emotion, and action, including in relation to the formation of long-term memories
for emotionally-significant events).
19. Hypothalamus
• Responsible for certain metabolic functions of the ANS, such as those that control
body temperature, hunger, thirst, and sleep.
• Also plays a role in emotion, particularly in relation to aversion and displeasure.
• It appears to play a critical role in triggering fear responses in relation to external
stimuli.
• has also been implicated in aspects of parenting and attachment behaviors.
• Lesions of the hypothalamus have been associated with changes in sexuality,
combativeness, and hunger.
20. Hippocampus
• Associated with the memory formation.
• Damage to the hippocampus usually results in anterograde amnesia, or difficulty in
forming new memories, and can also result in retrograde amnesia, or difficulty in
accessing memories formed prior to the insult.
21. Amygdala
• Plays a key role in emotional processing and responding, and informs the body’s detection of
threatening stimuli or engagement in a “fight-or-flight” reaction.
• Variations in amygdala functioning have been implicated in many psychological disorders, including
obsessive compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, borderline personality disorder (PD), and
bipolar disorder, as well as in the dysregulation of aggressive behaviors, including hyper
aggressiveness.
• Damage or removal of the amygdala has been associated with Klüver-Bucy syndrome.
• Amygdala in Crime - Abnormalities in brain structure and function could turn people to crime.
• Amygdala shrunken and less active in teenagers with aggressive conduct disorder.
22. Cingulate Cortex
• located above the corpus callosum
• plays an important role in linking sensation, emotion, and action, including in
relation to the formation of long-term memories for emotionally-significant
events and dealing with uncertainty.
• Dysfunction related to the cingulate cortex has been implicated in apathy,
depression, and schizophrenia. Anterior Cingulate - Criminals with low activity
have higher risk of reoffending.
