The kindling effect was first discovered when research was done on epilepsy and is used to describe some forms of epilepsy that get more severe over time. While epilepsy is caused by different processes in the brain than bipolar disorder is, the kindling effect can apply to them. Bipolar episodes are initially triggered by stressors, but over time they happen even without the triggers because the brain becomes “kindled” or sensitized.

In our daily bases brain plays biggest role, it helps human to grow, adopt and develop, everything that we do in life every movement, think, feel and emotions is because of the way our brain controls our body. In the book “Forty studies that changed psychology” by Roger R. Hock, he uses researches from different scientist and researchers to prove how every human part plays important role, most importantly how the brain is the main controller of the movement of the body. In the reading two “More…
and how it progresses overtime. Sixty years later, Jean Martin Charcot, a French neurologist and professor of anatomical pathology, also the founder of modern neurology. He clearly defined the disease as a slow progressive disease of the central nervous system that leads to motor impairment. It involves extensive degenerative changes in the basal ganglia which has a role in movement. As well as the loss of or decrease in levels of dopamine in the basal ganglia. Parkinson disease involves the…
Psoriasis on scalp (Scalp Psoriasis) is an inflammatory and persistent disease. The main causes of this disease are not yet identified but it is believed that it is slightly hereditary. The common reasons are lack of personal hygiene, repeated use of blow dryers and some fashion products. It takes several years to show up on the scalp. It is mostly seen in adults compared to children. It is seen in both sex but little more in women compared to men. Scalp psoriasis takes place in three phases.…
Parkinson’s disease are both degenerative brain diseases. However they differ in their symptoms, biological. Similiarities Parkinson and and alzeihmer usually occur after 50 years of age and both are neuro degenerative disease they destroy neural system thus cause in loss of memory and other neural functions. Another thing that is common between them is that they are progressive disease they get worse over time. Diffferences PARKINSON Parkinson’s disease is primarily a movement disorder…
Introduction Brain injuries where something my parents worried about when I was growing because I played numerous physical sports; I didn’t worry about the repercussions of high impact sports or what could have happened. Now as a professional educator I worry about my student’s educational ability due to a brain injury they may acquire or may have been born with. Why is a brain injury so important for educators to recognize? What happens to that child in the classroom after sustaining a brain…

The Forgetting 1.) Alzheimer’s disease essentially takes away who you are as a person. Alzheimer’s takes away the personality and memory of a person with the disease. The symptoms of Alzheimer’s begin when the synapses are disrupted. Plaque forms between nerve cells and blocks communication. Neurons in the brain cannot connect and synapses disappear. Not only does Alzheimer’s disease affect the synapses in the brain, it also attacks the hippocampus, which is the main component of memory, and new…
release the content that is present, usually a neurotransmitter. This neurotransmitter will now go to a different neuron, and incite an action potential. This whole process occurs all the time will billions of neurons. It is an exceedingly complex system that is vital for the survival of species. What if the sodium channels were blocked when there is an impulse or stimulus present. In this lab experiment, we will find out how two chemicals, Lidocaine and TTX, affect sodium channels and action…
