Brain death

1 Name of your Genetic Disorder: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) 2 Gene locus on which chromosome: Gene locus on the short arm of the X chromosome named Xp21. 3 Type of disorder (autosomal, sex-linked, dominant, recessive, aneuploidy?): DMD has an X-linked recessive inheritance pattern. 4 Symptoms of the disorder: According to the National Human Genome Research Institute , generally, the symptoms of DMD appear between the age of 1 and 6. Since the age of one, the patient…

explains that pessimistic thoughts actually change how our brains work. Because our craniums contain synapses (a junction between two nerve cells) that helps transmit electrical charges, information is proficient to make its way around our minds. However, Parton explains, "Every time this electrical charge is precipitated, the synapses grow closer together in order to reduce the distance the electrical charge has to intersect. The brain is providing its own circuitry, physically transforming…

a vital enzyme for myelin metabolism. This disease is one of a group of genetic disorders called the leukodystrophies, which affects the growth of development of the myelin sheath, the fatty substance that insulates and protects the nerves in the brain and spinal cord. The myelin sheath continues to develop after birth, with the growth rate peaking before 18 months of age. The myelin sheath is completely developed when a person is about 20 years old. When the myelin sheath does not grow or…

Inside Out is a children’s movie with five different emotions as main characters. Throughout the movie, these emotions run a little girl’s life and how she reacts to events that happen throughout her life. The five emotions names are Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust. Riley, the girl these emotions control, reacts differently to each one in charge of the head panel. Developmental psychology at the middle-aged kids stage studies how middle-aged kids function and grow. There are many…

and tried by people around this day. The Piracetam is belongs to the class of reacting and that proven for helping in the process of cognition. Mostly, Piracetam works in order to enhance the special process in our brain and it will improve the certain receptors and function in the brain. The acetylcholine receptors always bind to the neurotransmitter this called as acetylcholine, well it has different functions including coordination, muscle movement, focus, learning & memory. If Piracetam…

causally interact with physical brains. The causal closure principle states that for any causally closed physical system, any physical event within the system has a fully sufficient cause. Thus, according to science, our brain is a closed physical system and any event within it has a fully sufficient physical cause. While Descartes disagrees with the brain being characterized as a closed system, science maintains its view because the empirical evidence supports the brain as a closed physical…

Our interest in the topic of Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) started when we heard about how many people are affected by this disease. The number of people affected by this disease in the United States alone is around 400,000 people. This genetic disorder is caused when a person is born with an extra copy of chromosome twenty-one. Down syndrome is recognized by things such as short stature, a distinctive palm crease, stubby fingers, mental retardation that can end up being serious, a wide gap between…

Isaiah Stark, Period 1, Ear impairment due to loud music Slogan-Whoa, turn it down!!! Description of health issue-The tiny hair cells in your ear change sound into electrical signals that are carried to the brain and documented as sound. After long periods of time listing to any type of sound over 70 decibels (dB)(the unit sound is measured in) can harm your ears. When people listen to music your ears are taking in incredible amounts of sound. That Is why in schools you think that kids are just…

sclerosis, also known as MS, is an immune-mediated progression in which an atypical reaction of the body’s immune system is charged against the central nervous system (The National Multiple Sclerosis Society). The central nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. The antigen — or object the immune cells are triggered to attack — remains unidentified, which is why MS is regarded by many specialist to be "immune-mediated" instead of "autoimmune." The immune system of an…

knowledge regarding the complexities of the human brain. However, the monoamine theory, hypothesizes that a predisposition to depression can occur in individuals whose serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine have been depleted (Bunney & Davis 1965; Delgado 2000; Hirschfield 2000) Serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine are neurotransmitters responsible for regulating mood, focus and motivation by carrying chemical signals from one part of the brain to another, however, in depressed patients,…
