    A cholinergic crisis defines the condition of accumulating excess levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junctions and synaptic gaps throughout the body and central nervous system. This results in overstimulation of many organs and glands including the parasympathetic nervous system. The main etiology is acetylcholinesterase inhibition, the enzyme that rapidly breaks down acetylcholine after it is released. Cholinergic crisis results from an overdose of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors causing profound weakness due to continuous depolarization of the postsynaptic membrane, which in turn results in a depolarizing type of neuromuscular blockade; cholinergic crisis may develop secondary to drug overdose, such as anticholinesterase…

    Catatonia is a response related to people's fears, it may not be on purpose but it still happens. The author addresses this and thinks it may be an evolutionary condition programmed into the human body. I think this is true because why else would humans choose to become immobile for long periods of time, especially in times that may be critical to survival. The evidence the author provides includes the deer in a headlight example, this may be similar to the human reaction. I think this document heavily supports the idea that catatonia is a biologically programmed function in the human brain.…

    False Consciousness

    I was born and raised in the Bay Area, a popular region that screams diversity, privilege, and opportunity. When you live in the crosshairs of the Silicon Valley and San Francisco, it is only expected that you may know someone who knows a guy that worked for Steve Jobs or Mark Zuckerberg, and it is not all that bizarre to see naked people running around with rainbow flags. Neither of those expectations are reality for me, but it would also be false to say that the influence of our tech-savvy geniuses and free-spirited folk were nothing but stereotypes. These certain influences created a simple societal scheme for institutions like high school to promote. It is a simple idea that the history of an area influences its future societies.…
