and HBV is no different. (Image: commons.wikimedia.org) Reproduction The hepatitis B virus reproduces in the same way as most (if not all) other viruses do. It attaches itself to the host cell and injects its own genetic material into the nucleus of the cell. The host cell is used to make copies…

It is a basal ganglion in the central hemisphere that helps to control movement of the body. The putamen is located next to the globus pallidus and the caudate. When combined with the globus pallidus you have the lenticular nucleus, which is part of the Motor Loop. The Motor Loop basal ganglion regulates muscle contraction, muscle force, multi-joint movements, and movement selection and action.…

The reminiscence of the previous day flashes in the brain, yet she knows nothing of the preceding day. Walking through an unfamiliar home and seeing all these photos of a familiar face amongst many unknown faces, this is what it is like to wake up as a person who has dementia. When people first started to recognise dementia they called it senility and then later on the name changed to dementia (“Types of Dementia”). Many people believe that they understand the definition of dementia, but the…

All my life, I’ve always wondered, why? Why do I stammer? Is it something wrong with me? I know that I was born that way because unlike many people, stammering didn’t only occur when I was stressed or in an unconformable situation. I stuttered every time I tried to speak. No matter how hard I tried to control my speech flow, I couldn’t help it. It was natural. My relatives tried to help me, to cure me fof my speech disorder but they failed. They didn’t have patience with me. They believed that…

Parkinson’s disease is a slowly developing neurological disorder in which cells are lost in the brain. The fact that cells are lost makes it a progressive disorder of the nervous system. The National Parkinson Foundation states on their website that the most substantial area of degeneration is the Substantia Nigra in the brain which produces dopamine. Before symptoms occur, roughly 60%-80% of the neurons in the Substantia Nigra have diminished. Dopamine allows for communication between neurons…

Nerve cells and neurons are the base segments of the nervous system, they send and receive impulses, with the help of dopamine, a compound present in the body as a neurotransmitter. When dealing with parkinson's disease, dopamine producing nerve cells begin to die off. Basal ganglia is responsible for ensuring smooth movement, but when dopamine is not stimulated adequately, basal ganglia are affected, which causes imbalances, slowness and stiffness…

now called Huntington’s Disease (HD) (Huntington’s Disease: Hope Through Research). Huntington’s disease is a disease passed from generation to generation that associates with progressive degeneration of nerve cells in the brain. The progressive breakdown leads to the death of these brain cells. Huntington’s disease affects the functional abilities that lead to movements, cognitive and psychiatric disorders (Babu). The Huntington’s disease is very common among people who are between the age of…

The Parkinson is a disease that make Causes damage to the brain For lack of a neurotransmitter that is called dopamine and they are asked to be dopamine, dopamine is a neurotransmitter for the brain to send impulses to the motor nerves of the human body so that the body's bodies can work better and is important in all nerve responses that are related to the expression of emotions; Can be administered dopamine in the treatment of various types of shock like the Such as Parkinson's tremor Which…

There are many people who suffer from nervous system disorders. One famous person who suffered from a nervous system disorder is Bob Hoskins. He was a famous actor, who has stared in over 100 films during his acting career. He is most famous for his roles in Hook and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. On 28 October 2011, Hoskins was diagnosed with an aggressive form of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease is a nervous system disorder that affects movement. Parkinson's disease symptoms change as the…

The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) defines spasmodic dysphonia as an organic, chronic voice disorder that is characterized by forced and strained movement of one or more of the muscles in the larynx, causing an individual’s voice to sound erratic, hoarse, or constricted. There are two primary types of spasmodic dysphonia: adductor spasmodic dysphonia and abductor spasmodic dysphonia. Those who have the adductor type will experience unexpected, involuntary muscle spasms that…
