3. A. Cranial nerve involvement can be broken down into two portions. The anterior 2/3 of the tongue are innervated by the Chorda Tympani branch of the Facial nerve which is carried by the lingual nerve which branches off the mandibular branch of the Trigeminal nerve. Sensory component of the anterior 2/3 is maintained by the lingual nerve. The posterior 1/3 of the tongue is innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve which supplies both sensory and taste. B. The human tongue contains multiple…
It. situated between the cerebral cortex and midbrain. Its functions include relaying sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex. When designing lesson we need to focus more on engaging activities that encourage students to participate in discussions. For example, inviting students to share their ideas turns classroom…

Virchow-Robin (VR) spaces or perivascular spaces of the brain refer to spaces that accompany the cerebral vessels as they pass from subarachnoid space into the brain parenchyma. A few evident perivascular spaces can be considered normal at any age but many visible perivascular spaces are not. The relevance of visible perivascular spaces to SVD is shown by their presence in increased numbers in patients with white matter hyper-intensities and with symptomatic lacunar ischemic stroke. The…
Neurogenesis is the process in which new neural stem cells are created. In the past, it was thought that this process ends in childhood. New studies have proven this wrong, and in fact neurogenesis continues to occur throughout adulthood. It is now hypothesized to play to be the main component in neural plasticity, our ability to learn, and memorize. There are many factors that can affect neurogenesis, both genetic and environmental. Cruz and Nixon (2003) sought to see what effects, if any, that…
