In recent years, scientists have studied the state of "Being Lost." “Being Lost” is just a common state for most people’s daily life. It is not an inconspicuous thing but for them, "being lost" might be a mental ability. This state raises debate about whether treatment is needed. Moreover, for people who agree that “Being Lost” is a mental ability, society needs to pay attention to this scientific phenomenon and medical area need to analyze this statement. For those who disagree with it, they believe that this is a kind of weakness on memory and it would not have a big effect on daily life. This is the reason why they believe that worrying about the state of "Being Lost" is not necessary.
Some research scholars have determined that "Being Lost" that quietly invades people's lives and most people would not be resistant. Compared with the Alzheimer’s patients who are easy to be lost, the reason that a normal person suffers from getting lost is the loss of memory. People believe that the ability to lose the way is caused by Alzheimer's disease. Except the absence of the population of people with Alzheimer's disease who lose the ability to remember the way. Even if this situation is in the case of a large human base, only a small number of people suffer from the "being lost" condition, but this phenomenon cannot be ignored. This article will focus on the definition of "being lost", followed by the cause of the "being lost" statement. this article will explain the symptoms of "being lost." Then this article will explain how to alleviate and treat the "Being Lost" condition.
The definition of "Being lost"
[edit]It distinguishes the psychology and psychology that people lose in various environments. Lost is a psychological limitation, and getting lost is not a complicated problem. Fallen psychology is closely related to people's psychology in various environments because humans depend on the sense of direction from the beginning. According to ancient records, people have learned to rely on the magnet compass to establish a sense of direction. At that time, the "sixth sense" of human beings was small. Over time, humans rely on the compass to gradually stabilize the sixth sense. People are studying the reasons for human beings to establish a sense of direction and loss of humanity, and patients provide reliable information on how to establish human positioning and human loss of position. Substantial information explaining the relationship between maze and human nerve cells will also be provided through experiments. "Being lost" sometimes implicitly using such dictionary definitions as "Unable to find the way". What is lost is actually a neurological disease. Although the incidence is extremely low, it seriously affects the normal life of the patient. The cause of the disease is still under investigation, and one of the considerations is whether it is related to genetic factors.[1]
How We Orient
[edit]Identifying direction in an unfamiliar or familiar environment is one of the most complex ways of thinking for humans. Due to the complex and varied space environment, there are high-rise buildings and endless deserts. Buildings and road signs are often used to identify directions in the city, but in the desert they can only rely on the compass or the sun and the moon. This shows that people choose different positioning strategies in different environments. This is also one of the most important skills that human beings depend on for survival. People who are familiar with the environment will have a map, also known as a psychological map. People will leave some familiar or iconic buildings in their minds. When people see these buildings, they can be sure they need to turn around or move forward and backward. In an unfamiliar environment or without any road signs, people need tools to identify directions, but if you don't have tools in the desert, you can easily get lost. People need to be forced to remember plants that look very similar to each other, such as two cacti with little difference in shape or two trees that are too far apart. But when people remember too many similar points, there will be memory confusion and the direction will go wrong. But people will constantly update their starting position so that they try not to go wrong. This is one of the reasons why people can live in various places.[2]
Cause: lost nerve cells
[edit]In fact, the loss of identity in patients with Alzheimer's disease is caused by the loss of nerve cells. When we were born, humans had a sense of direction, because humans have nerve cells that can store sense of direction, and if they are missing, these nerve cells can cause damage. Studies have shown that getting lost is indeed a physiological problem, not a habit that can be changed in everyday life. Therefore, the research further shows that not only humans are lost, but other animals also have such nerve cells, and the lost diseases not only occur in humans. Since the disease is now occurring worldwide, although the possibility of human disease is very small, it is difficult to judge whether the animal has the disease, but more and more people are paying attention to the disease. This disease is gradually being valued by many people. For this reason, many scientists are also studying the disease. The research results have won the Nobel Prize from scientists and the country as well as many high-tech cutting-edge scholars. Lost is no longer just a daily phenomenon. It is also attributed to this disease and has been accepted and valued by most people. The hippocampus and entorhinal cortex are being studied by more and more scientists, and the brain localization system is discovered, which represents our progress in the collaborative work of specialized cell collections and the understanding of achieving higher cognitive functions. It provides new ways and directions for understanding other cognitive processes, such as memory, thinking, and planning. When human nerve cells stop working, the ability of humans to recognize direction is not feasible. Research on neurons helps people better understand the laws of neuronal activity. The relationship between nerve cells and sense of direction is very important. It also provides detailed information about correct and in-depth human body.[3]
Developmental Topographical Disorientation
[edit]Currently, this can only happen in 1% to 2% of the population. It is called "Development of Topographic Diseases" (DTD). Many news media are now paying attention to this matter. He also interviewed a patient with this disease. In her self-report, she can find that patients with this disease do not even know the direction of the family. She couldn't form what psychologists call "cognitive maps," which led to the concept of no path in her mind. She can only distinguish between colors that are easy to remember or buildings that are different from the surrounding environment. Use this simple method to determine if you are lost. However, the scope of this approach is very narrow and it is difficult for DTD patients to find such a building. And the patient does not have Alzheimer's disease, which indicates that the disease is not a complication, but an independent disease, but because of the low incidence, many people have not heard of it. Many hospitals and medical institutions do not have a record of this disease.. This has resulted in many patients not getting more information and timely help. Due to the emergence of news reports, more and more people volunteer to lead DTD patients to travel and play, because the incidence of this disease is very low, the root cause is the brain, it is still uncertain whether there is genetic relationship, but more and more People, not just scientists, but also media and volunteers to participate in their contributions. [4]
GPS or The hippocampus
[edit]DTD patients cannot determine the direction. Can GPS replace hippocampus? Some scientists have conducted experiments and found that if a normal person is too dependent on GPS, his hippocampus will shrink more, which will lead to an increase in the chances and speed of Alzheimer's disease. Pedestrians who regularly use GPS are less likely to identify their location and environment. If people no longer pay attention to their location and whereabouts, they will increase the risk of shrinking. But it is not that GPS is not good. The invention of this study greatly facilitated the travel of patients with DTD. However, if ordinary people use GPS for a long time, the sense of direction will be weakened. The advice of scientists and doctors is that the GPS system can add pictures of the target building or places to remember so that people can train the hippocampus accordingly using the GPS system. People can benefit from road identification and travel convenience. As we enter the era of global positioning systems, we are now at the forefront of more change, and this system has become the standard for every car and every cell phone. At the same time, neuroscience and psychology scientists are beginning to discover a two-way path: our brains determine how we navigate, but our navigation efforts also shape our brains. As we get used to the brainless navigation of the GPS era, experts are taking some worrying signs to understand what will happen. Once we lose the habit of forming cognitive maps, we find ourselves becoming more and more like DTD patients.[5]
Lost mental situation
[edit]Western Australia has established a service map with the aim of helping 'lost' patients. More and more people realize that getting lost is caused by lack of coordination and dysfunction. More than just scientists, more and more ordinary people are aware of the obstacles in the daily life of this disease. DTD patients can be taken care of in many aspects of their daily lives, and the government is willing to see them. People no longer suppress and discriminate against vulnerable groups, but treat them as normal people who need help. The emergence of this phenomenon is not only more convenient for patients with DTD, but also indirectly affects people's attention to other diseases with extremely low incidence. They apply to the government. People no longer ignore the symptoms of getting lost but actively seek help from relevant departments. The government also attaches great importance to this symptom. It can be seen that even if the incidence of this disease is getting higher and higher, people do not passively ignore, but actively seek help. This also provides a good social basis for the treatment of lost symptoms. The help people seek will also be realized, thus affecting more and more ordinary people to care about the disease. In the long run, the prevention and solution of the disease will be popularized in society. [6]
Further reading
[edit]The university has begun to study the problem of people losing their sense of direction, that is, people with normal brains will still lose their way in a very familiar environment. A lot of academic terminology has been published and a forum website has been created. In order to promote the communication between patients and diseases worldwide, the research results will be released to the forum. More and more scientists and people realize that this is not just a lack of memory; it may be a disease somewhere in this part of the brain. The condition has spread to the public and more and more people are aware of the disease. It provides a way for people to understand and understand disease and provides a platform for patients to get better treatment. This forum also provides factual evidence for symptomatic patients, not their delusions, but the exact existence of the disease. At present, more and more media are paying attention to this disease, and many physiologists and neuropsychologists have begun to conduct special research on this disease. Since the condition is now incurable, more people are needed to treat the disease. The media also hopes that more and more people will pay attention to and protect DTD patients instead of discriminating or turning a blind eye.[7]
