Dopamine receptor

or specialized proteins that protect the immune system, which were most likely produced as part of the body’s response to the patients’ teratomas (Dalmau 63). Basically, teratomas contain various cell types that, when they cross-react with NMDA receptors, which can affect memory and learning in the brain, basically make one’s system vulnerable to a breakdown of the immune system. This creates a confusion in the body that produces autoantibodies which…

The Real Reasons Why So Many People Overshare on Social Media People are becoming less and less mindful their posts on the web due to an temporary feeling media has. People are oversharing when posting because they feel drown out by the din on the contemporary media landscape. This is a problem because rather than attracting authentic attention we are only adding to the din of the noise. Before the creation of social media, an “oversharer” was someone who within the first couple minutes of…

pathway of the brain to send out dopamine, a neurotransmitter that works directly with the reward and pleasure area of the brain. After experiencing the “high” from success on the internet one experiences two things. The first downfall is the addiction to the feeling. The pleasure of winning a virtual game or receiving 100 likes on an Instagram post is desirable and is often craved once the user has got a taste for it. The second downfall is depression. The dopamine release from the internet is…

Creativity is one of those weird outliers of psychology that never seems to have a determinable definition or perfect definition that everyone can agree. Most psychologists agree that for something to be called creative requires that the idea or product is original and functional. Creativity is thought of, by Freudian ideologies, as a part of the mental functioning operative in the id (Arieti, 1976). In other words, the individual uses it to seek pleasure and avoid pain. The word itself is as…

different from the other kids. Another way to prevent a child from the behaviors caused from ADHD is medication. There is stimulants and non- stimulant medications. Stimulants ties to the central nervous stimulant. These type of medicine have increase dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain to improve concentration. Non-stimulants doesn’t have an increase but it does affect the…

Anti-Calbindin binds to Calbindin (CB) and labels GABAergic neurons In our immunohistochemistry (IHC) experiment, we used anti-Calbindin as our primary antibody, Goat anti-Rabbit 488 IgG as our secondary antibody (“488” meaning that the fluorescent dye is excited at a wavelength of 488nm, fluorescing green), and DAPI-mounting serum as a DNA (nucleus) marker with blue fluorescence for reference against anti-Calbindin-marked GABAergic neurons (Lammel, 2016). While GABAergic-neuron-expressing…

One such stimulus is a neurotransmitter and one neurotransmitter that many people are familiar with is dopamine. Dopamine is the chemical in the brain that aids the feeling of pleasure. In a typical healthy person, dopamine is released in many ways like a reward to your brain in response to things like roller-coasters, junk food, and exercise. However, this rush that people feel can become addicting. This is similar…

Parkinson 's Disease is caused by the death of dopamine-generating cells in a region in the midbrain called the substantia nigra. When dopamine levels decrease, it causes abnormal brain activity, leading to signs of Parkinson 's disease. The dopamine released by nerve cells of the substantia nigra stimulates another brain region, the corpus striatum. Without enough dopamine, the corpus striatum cannot control its targets, and so on down the line. Ultimately,…

Relevant Findings** Yes, according to Lexidrugs, the loss of memory and cognition along with difficulty urinating are both side effects caused by diphenhydramine. The mechanism of this drug is to compete with histamine at receptors throughout the body and will cause “anticholinergic and sedative effects.” The number one precaution of administering diphenhydramine is that it can cause CNS depression and prevent coherent cognitive function of the patient. The CNS depression effects could be the…

Emotion has a big impact on how well we are able to perform and learn. As students we don’t give enough emphasizes on the effect that emotion has on how well we can learn. Students often find themselves frustrated on the fact that they are unable to learn a certain subject, but they never stop to think why that is. In most situations it had to do with the attitude or maybe a negative emotion they might be feeling. According to David A. Sousa’s “Mind, Brain, Education,” we develop nonconsicious…
