What are some structural abnormalities of the brain?

Published

I'm going to report in class and the teacher told me to report about structural abnormalities of the brain. Can you please give me what are these abnormalities? I only know AVM, brain tumor. I wonder what are the others. Thank you.

It's nice that you freely admit this is a school assignment. However, this seems like a fairly easy one to google.

There is a lot to be gained by researching a "report" yourself. Homework is assigned is to asist you in gaining experience in critical thinking skills that are imperative in nursing. You will have to have critical thinking skills in nursing and there won't always be someone there to bail you out because you just may not feel like it that day or you have other things to do.....drive and inciative will suit you better in the long run....especially in today's job market. Peace :)

Exactly. I really don't feel like "dealing with it." How are the people that do this going to function as nurses? "I'm not sure if I can give this med. What do you think?" Nevermind going to the drug book that is sitting on the desk...

esme, i know what you're saying, and up until today, i've always supported researching assignments yourself.

but when i sit back with echoes of remarks about members being far too hard on students, i could see where this was a valid complaint.

seriously, a sequence of posts that belittle or humiliate the poster, is not cool at all...

and can understand how we could run or scare members away.

perhaps i was too impulsive in providing that link (because it was so easily searchable), and will think twice before i post one again, all of us members who've been around an's, need to remind ourselves on how we appear to non-members, lurkers and the millions who watch this website.

the last thing i want to do is have members quit, because we were seen as unapproachable.:twocents:

eta: esme, i see that you pretty much, linked op to lists as well.

what's the difference betw your overall link vs my singular one?
