The exact cause of schizophrenia isn't known, but a combination of genetics, environment, and altered brain chemistry and structure may play a role. Schizophrenia is characterized by thoughts or experiences that seem out of touch with reality, disorganized speech or behavior, and decreased participation in daily activities.

One of the core symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is intrusive memory: disturbing, unwanted memories of the trau
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The onset, and treatment of PTSD is no easy matter. In order for such a disorder to appear, which is later expressed with tremendous peaks of stress, crisis, behavioral problems, panic disorders, anxiety disorders, and many more debilitating conditions, a person must have experienced an event, or circumstance, that traumatically negatively impacted the correct psychological and emotional processes of the mind. In these patients, one the most common situations is that panic attacks and anxiety peaks happen particularly when the traumatic event, moment, or circumstance is remembered, and they are very good at remembering not just the moment itself, but all elements that surrounded that trauma. Also, they are able to make really clear connections and associations between those events and normal events in life that, when they appear, trigger the defensive responses of the mind.

The idea of administering a patient with PTSD with medication that would stop memory formation shortly after a traumatic event would not be a good idea simply because while the drugs focus on the chemical processes involved in memory formation, this procedure ignores that memory is much more than just chemicals in the brain. This has been show time and time again in research. Even with strong medication that basically generates amnesia, or trauma to the brain that may cause amnesia, it has been seen, and science cannot yet fully explain how, these patients may have partial, or total recovery of memories. And because the process of memory formation is still so misunderstood, and not all the factors involved are completely known, simply administering a drug that would stop the hormones that are believed to play a role in memory formation could become more of a problem for the patient. Also it is not being considered that amnesia causes even more stress in patients, as somehow the brain still recognizes that there is information present, but cannot simply bring it to concious awareness.

Create an acronym/mnemonic device (memory aids) that would help you remember the order in which sound
Andrew [12]

A typical memory aid that helps in remembering the order in which sound travels from the peripheral to the central components of the auditory pathway would be E.C.O.L.I.M.A.

Sound (high or low-frequency sounds) at first gets to the hair cells of the Ear receptors (E) in Cochlea and cranial nerve number 8 (CN VII), then it gets to the Cochlear nuclei (C) which are cells dedicated to these high or low-frequency sounds.

At the Superior Olivary nucleus (O) sound is localized before it gets to the midbrain - Lateral lemniscus (L) and Inferior colliculus (I). The inferior colliculus receives auditory nerve fibers from ipsilateral superior olivary nuclei through the lateral lemniscus.

Sounds then get to the thalamus at the Medial geniculate body (M) which receives nerve fibers from the inferior colliculus; eventually sounds then get to the auditory cortex.

In summary, ECOLIMA is an easily understandable mnemonic device to help remember how sound waves move from the external ears to the auditory nerves and cortex.
