    Our bodies are made up of many different components, but our nervous system has cells that serve as protective barriers for our bodies. Glial cells do not directly participate in our synaptic interaction and electrical signs. Their function is mainly to support function in order to define contacts and maintain signaling abilities in neurons. There are too many “glia” to count in our nervous system. These cell are much smaller than a neuron, and do not have axons or dendrites. The term “glia”…

    Throughout my research I didn’t come across another remedy that would avoid removal of the thyroid gland. I think there should be more of a neurological approach to solve the problem of the failing thyroid gland rather than removing it completely from the body. Its normal function works by electrical waves as the hypothalamus sends a current to the pituitary gland to control the levels of the hormones being produced. Thinking back to the example of the thermostat. When you turn the thermostat…

    1. INTRODUCTION Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy is an effective method of analyzing the intricate electrical resistance of a process and it is sensitive to surface phenomena and changes in the bulk properties. Thus it plays a major role in electrochemical research. It has been diligently used for the interpretation of corrosion mechanisms and in the characterisation of charge transport over the membrane. In the area of biosensors, it is especially appropriate for the detection of…
