largest proportion of patients are over 45, and the largest number of sufferers are over 60. Hypothyroidism can cause weight gain, trouble losing weight, fatigue, poor memory, muscle spasm and more.

create the best results for this test. Tasks or thought triggers chosen to specifically target one area of the brain could be performed at different states of consciousness such as: different levels of awakeness, during the use of a mind-altering drug, or at normal conditions. Recording observations of the brain activities is possible through the use of a fMRI, which is a machine that records brain activity based upon the blood flow in specific areas. If different states of consciousness are…

non-progressive brain lesions. It is diagnosed before the age of three. Brain lesions cause motor and other developmental abnormalities. Epilepsy is common, especially in patients that have mental retardation and/or spastic quadriplegia. Causes Cerebral palsy is not an inherited disease. Genetic or environmental factors can affect the migration of the brain cells during the prenatal development. If the nerves are poorly myelinated during prenatal development it can impede the function of…

The Endocrine system is a complex mechanism of glands that secrete hormones that control almost every cell, organ, and function in each of our bodies. This system is directly responsible for regulating “metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood”. (Zimmermann, 2016) EDC’s or Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals are environmental toxins that trigger “biochemical processes that alter development pathways” thus interfering with hormonal dispersal…

Introduction: Age related change is one of the most common causes of vision loss around the world, affecting between 30 to 50 million people worldwide. As suggestive of the name, age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is most prevalent in adults over the age of 60. Of the cases of AMD, about 90 percent are dry AMD for which no effective treatment exists [1]. The retina is the nerve tissue lining the inside of the eye which begins the conversion of light into vision. The macula,…

Throughout my life, I have experienced sensory adaptation with all of my different sensory experiences. The sense…

is a group of cells, in the nervous tissue that supports neurons that keeps the nervous system functioning and together. The 4 types of neuroglis cells of the CNS: (1.) Astrocytes are cells that support and structure cells that is a barrier for the brain through blood. (2.) Microglial cells are cells that remove dirt and attack microbes. (3.) Ependymal cells are cells that covers and lines the surfaces and cavities. (4.) Oligodendrocytes are cells that makes myelin that holds the nerve fibers in…
