When testing tissue samples from the brain stem and cerebellum, we were able to see the effect of the disease. From the point of entry, the virus travels along nerves to the spinal cord and then to the brain, where it multiplies. From there, it travels along other nerves such as the facial nerve to…

Cardiovascular diseases are conditions that pertain to the heart and blood vessels that interfere with the normal functions of the body. Arteries are blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. The heart then acts as a pump and provides blood to all parts throughout the body. Occlusion due to plaque buildup interferes with blood flow. The arteries begin to narrow and blood flow is restricted to the brain. Brain cells are deprived of oxygen and begin to die resulting in a cerebrovascular…

Where is the cure for Alzheimer’s disease? The most common form of dementia is, Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Alzheimer’s can be defined as a disease that includes memory loss and inabilities that affect daily life. A common misconception is that aging comes with Alzheimer’s.

Abstract Vesicular glutamate transporters 1 and 2 (VGLUT1 and VGLUT2) have distinct distributions in the cochlear nucleus that correspond to the sources of the labeled terminals. VGLUT1 is associated with terminals of auditory nerve fibers, whereas VGLUT2 is associated with glutamatergic terminals deriving from other sources that project to the cochlear nucleus (CN), including somatosensory and vestibular terminals. Previous studies in guinea pig and rat have shown that cochlear damage results…
