On 03/15/18 at 1510 hours, I responded to 2921 S. Orlando Drive (CBC of Florida) Sanford FL. in reference to a possible battery. Upon my arrival, I made contact with Calista Bowling (arrestee/juvenile), Christina Brantley (victim/adult), and Temeka Harris (wittiness/adult). Brantley and Harris provided me with sworn written statements. On 03/15/18 at approximately 1500 hours, Brantley stated that she called Bowling into her officer to discuss the issue about Bowling’s cell phone and removing…

sections of the body. The difference between the two is that the Ipsilateral will send materials to the same side while the Contralateral will send materials to the opposite side. g. Tract vs. Nerve- Tracts are a group of axons in the Central Nervous System. Nerves are a group of axons in the Peripheral Nervous System. The difference between the two is that the Tracts are in the Central Nervous System while the Nerves are in the Peripheral Nervous…

facts to a more active and motivational participation. These activities will keep students be alert and ready to learn. (Sylwester, n.d.) 7) Corpus Callosum- The corpus callosum is the largest fiber bundle in the brain, containing nearly 200 million axons (Sousa, 2011) The corpus callosum is like a bridge that connects the left and right sides of the brain allowing for communication between both sides. The corpus callosum transfers motor, sensory, and cognitive information between the left and…

What is Cognitive Coaching? Coaching according to Costa and Garmston (1994) is defined as a people based art and the center of management that occurs within a relationship that is action oriented, result oriented, and person oriented (Costa and Garmston, 1994). Expert cognitive coaches apply specific techniques to improve another person’s perceptions, decisions, and intellectual functions (Costa & Garmston, 1994). According to these authors, changing these inner thought processes is prerequisite…

carcinogenicity. 4.4 Summary of Toxicity Information Acrylamide is a scientifically tested and observed neurotoxin which causes the degradation of the myelin sheaths in both general and specific areas of the nervous system. It directly damages the axon terminals of brain’s neurons, but most heavily…

As mentioned, the CNS contains the brain and spinal cord (Proekt et al., 2008). The PNS the nerve fiber center, which have “bundles of the long fibers or axons,” that fuses the brain and spinal cord to the entire body. Nerve fibers that communicate signals from the brain are the “motor or efferent nerves.” The nerve fibers that convey information from the body via the CNS are “sensory or afferent.” For the…

Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease and claims the lives of an estimated 2.5 million people in the world. In Australia, it has been researched that the further away a person is from the equator, the more likely is the person is to develop multiple sclerosis. For instance, in the far north of Queensland the disease occurs 12 in every 100000 people, while in New South Wales, it rises to 36 people out of 100000, and even higher in Tasmania with 76 people out of 100000. Although multiple…

disease. There are four factors that are believed to cause the onset of Multiple Sclerosis. The first factor is that the immune system malfunctions and starts to attack the central nervous system. This results in damage to the myelin sheath and the axon (Goldenberg, 2012). The second factor is genetics. Scientist suggest there may be genes that play a role in multiple sclerosis, and that a child has a 2-5% chance of having MS if one of their parents have it. The third factor suggests…

Health Effects of Oxytocin Properties of Oxytocin Oxytocin is a peptide hormone made up of nine amino acids. Oxytocin is produced by pituitary gland in the brain to carry out different physiological and psychological functions in the body like child birth, breastfeeding, mother infant bonding and social behavior. Oxytocin is also referred as love hormone, cuddle hormone or bonding hormone because it develops feelings of affection, trust, and attachment among people. It reduces the negativities…

In order to understand the hypothesis, first we must understand what is amyloid-beta, and how it is synthesized. Amyloid-beta is a peptide cleaved from the amyloid-beta precursor protein, which is a larger integral membrane protein found concentrated in neuronal synapsis (Masters et al., 1985;Glenner & Wong, 1984). An existing mutation in APP would lead to an increased cleavage and to a different availability of its sub products, hence increasing the amount of amyloid-beta being synthesized. A…
