There are different types of Gliomas- or brain tumors. Gliomas are named based on what type of brain cell they affect. The three types of Gliomas are called Ependymomas, Astrocytomas, and Oligodendrogliomas. “Only about two to three percent of brain tumors are Ependymomas. However Ependymomas makes up about ten percent of tumors in children.”(Brain Cancer and Gliomas) This particular type of tumor does not grow into the normal brain tissue, but has a high risk of recurrence. Some Ependymomas can…

The Best Researched Product To Improve Learning Process CogniShield is intended to improve memory function and brain function. The ingredients used are believed to reverse Alzheimer’s symptoms and also to increase focus. It also plays role in keeping memory in active state by facilitating neuron communication. This is believed to make neurons more flexible and absorbent. It will also release toxins from brain. A single bottle is enough to supply for one month. It costs $69. From particular site,…

Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome (LEMS) is a rare, neuromuscular junction autoimmune disease. The immune system produces immunoglobulin G antibodies against voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCC) residing on the cell membrane of the presynaptic nerve ending.1,3,5,6 The etiology of LEMS is decreased exocytosis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from presynaptic neurons into the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) caused by autoantibodies attacking VGCCs.3,7.10 There are two distinct groups of LEMS…

In the United States alone, one in twenty-six people will be diagnosed with epilepsy in their lifetime. This means that around 150,000 people find out each year they are afflicted with this disorder. Epilepsy is a neurological disorder caused by malfunctioning nerve cells within the brain and nervous system. Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) is a variation of this disorder, appearing mainly in children ages 12 to 18. This disorder is caused when the ion channels in the nerves cells that regulate…

Different autopsy methods are useful in different situations. I have previously mentioned Rokitansky method which involves examining the organs in situ “a condition sometimes mandated by a restrictive autopsy consent or severe time limitations” (Finkbeiner 35). But there are other methods that involve removal of the organs including Letulle, Ghon and Virchow. Both the Letulle and Virchow start the same way: a Y incision is made and the skin is reflected from the chest and abdomen. If the…

out certain things. The main brain structure associated with the explicit memories is the hippocampus, where it controls the emotion, memory, and autonomic nervous system and the main brain structure associated with the implicit memories is the cerebellum, which regulates the muscular activities of an…

that although cocaine dependant individuals have decreased ability for stimulus-response learning, their ability to make basic associations remains intact (Vadhan, 2014). As previously mentioned, cocaine gives the user a feeling of euphoria through the increased release and decreased reuptake of the dopamine neurotransmitter within the synaptic gap, especially in the nucleus accumbens (Volkow, 1997). Over time, the repetitive influx of dopamine molecules can have detrimental effects on…

Cause and Effects of Bullying In the Media Today many kids face the hardships of being bullied by their fellow peers; whether its physical or emotional bullying the effects that it has on the person is greater than anyone probably imagined. With the research that I found on the cause and effects of bullying in the media I was able to find out whom bullying effects the most, the two types of media bullying, and the long-term impact that bullying causes to the victim. Bullying is no…

It’s hard not to see that Will has had an extremely difficult life. Will was not only the victim of child abuse from his father but was also faced abuse in the multiple foster homes he lived in. Research has shown that children who experience child abuse are six times as likely to experience post traumatic stress disorder (Lamont, 2016). The chances of Will developing post traumatic stress disorder seems high and it is made even more likely because Will not only experience physical abuse from…

studying in this class, so let as relax and enjoy a wonderful journey into the human brain and how we learn. The brain is an amassing organ that stores information. The brain is composed of the Cerebrum, Frontal Lobe, Parietal lobe, Occipital Lobe, cerebellum of with all are connected with neurons and glial. The Brain is built in such a way that it has to communicate with the other parts of the brain in order to properly function. So with the support of neurons and dendrites the brain is able…
