1ml per sample. The samples were incubated at 4⁰C overnight. The following day, the samples were washed with DPBS at 4⁰C and then washed with 2ml 1 perm buffer twice. Anti-mouse Foxp3- PE Ab was added in a 1:100 dilution for 30 mins at 4⁰C. The samples were washed with perm buffer and resuspend in DPBS for flow cytometry analysis.

Did you know that whenever you smell something, it triggers your senses, and the brain? There are five senses, and one is smell. The brain is a important organ in our body, it tells our body what to do, and what to not do. The person who studied the senses was Linda B. Buck, and the people who studied the brain was the Egyptians. Your senses let you know what is going on around you. The brain is the control center of the body. All information we have about prehistoric cultures comes from…

of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) early on in the progression of the disease (Okada et…

1. A perception is when sensory impulses are interpreted in the brain, such as touching a hot stove. A sensation is when the brain becomes aware of a stimulus, such as pain. 2. Pain receptors are excited by any type of tissue damage. 3. Referred pain is a phenomenon when you feel pain in an area other than where the pain originates from. 4. The thalamus and cerebral cortex are the parts on the brain that interpret pain impulses. The thalamus establishes the awareness of pain, and the…

This essay will provide a focus on the concept of structure in relation to function in biology. The example taken into consideration for the essay is the reintroduction of Gray wolves (Canis lupus), hence predators, into Yellowstone National Park to restore the ecosystem health. Many are the ecological interpretations of wolves’ function when it comes to the Northern Rockies ecosystem as research and scientists have been documenting their overall impact for the last few decades. Firstly, a…

2008). Since then, oils have been used in the UK and Europe for treatment but still has not debuted in the United States as a prescribed form of treatment (Butje, Repede, 2008). Essential oils act on the olfactory system; stimulating olfactory receptors in the nasal epithelium. Stimulation of the olfactory system is shown to immediately lower blood pressure, muscle tension, pupil size, brain activity and sleep (Barcan, 2014) The stimulation from there is then processed to the limbic system and…

Cannabis is a very complex plant that has thousands of cannabinoids in which each one contains distinct properties that can benefit an array of alignments. Uniquely, compared to other analgesic compounds, cannabis is not physically addictive. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disease that turns the immune system against the body’s own brain and spinal cord which results in disconnect throughout the body. MS is one condition that shows promise of the medical implication of cannabis to treat…

to grow partially because they are unaware of the effects that drugs have on their brain. Marijuana has a large effect on the brain. One of the most noticed things is the loss of the short term memory. Marijuana causes this because the cannabinoid receptors are activated by a neurotransmitter called…

binding of CB1 receptors due to distinctions in neurocognitive development. There are certain changes in gray and white matter densities, brain volume, as well as endocannabinoid concentrations. This creates aberrations in cognition and memory performance. Cannabinoid’s structures consist of a terpene joined to an alkyl-substituted resorcinol. The leading psychoactive component of cannabis is Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabinol(CBN) are cannabinoids that make…

For years the controversy topic of medical marijuana has caught the attention of many Americans; especially in the last couple of years with the few states that voted to make it legal. The majority of people are blind sighted to the facts that society has shaped into the norm. Many categorize this drug as “bad” or “harmful”. Just like there are pros and cons of every controversial topic, medical marijuana has both valid points across the board. Besides the prevalent fact of this drug being…
