Introduction: Langerhan’s cell histiocytosis is a malignancy caused by uncontrolled proliferation of the Langheran’s cell line with associated granulomatous deposition. The disease exists in a wide spectrum of clinical presentations ranging from localized skin manifestation to diffuse disease with neurological involvement. Typically, diabetes insipidus occurs when the hypothalamic-pituitary axis is affected by histiocytic infiltration. Langheran’s cell histiocytosis can be confirmed by…

various parts of the brain. Firstly, zombies have the physical trait of a staggering walk in which their legs are stiff and their arms either are straight forward or dangle on the side of their body. Their movement can be explained by the cerebellum. The cerebellum “coordinates voluntary movement and balance and supports memories of such” (Myers, 68), in other words, helps coordinate voluntary movement,…

The primary body system involved with schizophrenia and depression is the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord. Within the nervous system, the CNS is the integration and control centre. Through communicating cells named neurons, the CNS interprets sensory input and generates motor output (Marieb & Hoehn, 2013). Neurons are cells that are specialised for rapid communication. Communication between neurons occurs at junctional points, or synapses. (Kiernan &…

to perform the melodious selections to an audience. (www.dictionary.com) Finally, the nucleus accumbens, corpus callosum, and cerebellum are placed on both hemispheres of the brain. Where the corpus callosum is highly necessary to send messages between the two hemispheres. Whereas in the nucleus accumbens helps us have an emotional reaction to music and so does the cerebellum, but it also deals with regulating motor movements, such as coordination when playing a musical instrument.…

are all tested then the youngest age group of 0-20s year old will have the higher timed results than the eldest age group 60+ year olds because age affects balance related senses such as vestibular system. The vestibular cells die with age and the cerebellum cells can also be affected by age and drugs for arthritic pain. The results showed that the highest average result was the 0-20 year olds (47.75 seconds), then the 40-60 year olds (40.5 seconds), then the 20-40 year olds (31.42 seconds) and…

Numerous studies have been conducted on MRI being a useful tool in prenatal imaging of the posterior fossa. Gurbaud (2004) suggests that MRI is useful as a complementary investigation to US in three particular situations. Ranchod, Androniko, & Modi, (2012) detail 4 case studies where MRI was used to diagnose specific posterior fossa abnormalities after having an US. This paper examines research done to examine the posterior fossa in prenatal brains with the use of US and fetal MRI. Literature…

Introduction Brain injuries where something my parents worried about when I was growing because I played numerous physical sports; I didn’t worry about the repercussions of high impact sports or what could have happened. Now as a professional educator I worry about my student’s educational ability due to a brain injury they may acquire or may have been born with. Why is a brain injury so important for educators to recognize? What happens to that child in the classroom after sustaining a brain…

grooves called fissures that separate some regions. The longitudinal fissure separates the left cerebral hemisphere from the right cerebral hemisphere. On the other hand, the transverse cerebral fissure separates the cerebral hemispheres from the cerebellum. The cerebral cortex contains three kinds of functional areas: Motor areas, sensory areas, and association areas. The motor areas control voluntary movements. The sensory areas are the regions where we have conscious awareness of sensation…

The size of the aneurysm determines the size of the bleed. The brain is composed of four lobes: the frontal, temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes. The brain also contains the thalamus, hypothalamus, basal ganglia, the limbic system, and the cerebellum. Higher cognitive function, memory retention, voluntary eye movements, voluntary motor movement, and speech are controlled by the frontal lobe. Speech is regulated in Broca’s area. Integration of somatic data, visual data, auditory data, past…

brain can be divided into three basic units, the forebrain, midbrain and the hindbrain. The hindbrain includes the upper part of the spinal cord, the brain stem and the ball of tissue is called the cerebellum. The hindbrain controls the body’s vital functions such as heart rate and respiration. The cerebellum coordinates movement and is involved in learned routine movements. The upmost part of the brain is the midbrain which controls some reflex actions and is part of the circuit involved in the…
