For the purpose of this paper, and a full understanding of the topic discussed, immerse yourself in these circumstances, as if you are the patient. You are lying in a hospital bed, unable to move, wanting to talk to your mom as she talks by your side, but unable to speak. You listen to the nurse and doctor speak to your family as if you are not there, as if you cannot hear or understand each word. You are angry, you are frustrated, and you can't even make a sound. You are only able to exist…

As DNA is a negatively charged molecule the samples when run through the gel move towards the positive end of the gel, this is important to remember during the setup of the gel so that the electrodes are placed correctly. For each region of DNA under investigation the size of the molecule depends on the amount of nucleotides within that sequence, for the first experiment this is the number of repeats the molecule has and for the second experiment…

in diagnosing a condition. One puzzling case involved a primate who displayed discomfort, lethargy, and regurgitation after training sessions. The veterinarians examined motor functions, chemical imbalances, and any potential cause from lowering electrodes in the brain. To the dismay of our lab and the veterinarians, no significant results were found. During the next few months, the veterinarians noticed a correlation between her episodes and her menstrual cycles. Sure enough, a palpable mass in…

Vilayanur S. Ramachandran had a numerous number of family and teachers who supported him. His parents gave him a fine microscope when he was only eleven. His teachers supported his curiosity and gave him materials for experiments he had wanted to do. In “Neuroscience – The New Philosophy” he wrote about the nature of consciousness and the characteristics of self. So what do you think the characteristics of “the self” are? Do you think we choose our own destinies? Additionally, do we have…

In Kumari’s brain response study, the experiment lasted approximately five minutes; beforehand, each subject was given a test shock, causing only mild discomfort, by a bar electrode connected to a velcro strap near the wrist. While lying in the scanner, the subject endured a functional MRI as well as “repeated presentations of two 30-s alternating conditions” (Kumari et al., 2007). These conditions included viewing the word…

The atom is the smallest unit of matter. The name “atom” comes from the Greek word atomos, which means “uncuttable.” Atomic theory states that all matter is made up of these small particles, and that these atoms, and the matter made from them, cannot be created nor destroyed, merely reshaped and reformed. Modern chemistry unofficially began in the eighteenth century. French scientist Antoine Lavoisier discovered the law of the conservation of mass c. 1785. This law states that “The total mass…

and other therapies. Spinal adjustments help to relieve pressure, improve blood flow, and improve spinal flexibility. If tissue damage is shown in the imaging tests, the doctor may include electrical muscle stimulation. This consists of placing electrodes on the skin and the machine produces minimal electric pulses, which helps with inflammation, thus lessening overall…

The painful protocols animals are subjected to during research and testing can be anywhere from burning skin, blinding, planting electrodes into the brain, infecting with diseases, long term social isolation, and the list go's on and on. Vivisection is one of the worst kinds of animal abuse in our society and it is a sanctioned and legal abuse. The harm caused by animal experimentation…

during minute four of the adaptation period for familiarity and to ensure the equipment was functional, however, this data was not recorded. Heart rate was also measured continuously from the QRS complex using electrocardiography (ECG) and spot electrodes placed on the right and left clavicle and lower left rib. Blood pressure (BP) was also continuously measured, this time from the left index finger using a Portapres Model-2? (Finapres Medical Systems, Amsterdam, the Netherlands). The data was…

Capital Punishment and moms in Prison reminds me of one of the great Author books “I know why the caged birds sings.” The Death Penalty also known as “Capital Punishment” meaning an execution sanctioned by the government to be put to death should not be legal in my opinion because if that person is innocent and is eventually executed it is not possible to make that right to that person or reverse that decision because death is permanent. There is no way to compensate a person that has been put…
