condition, diagnostic methods, treatment options, nervous system structures and pathology, and neurotransmitter systems relating to the PTSD disorder. Therefore, the brain matters, it plays a role in behaviors and need to know the level of analysis. The types of of disorders are neurology, psychological disorder and neuropsychological disorder. Neurology is a disorder involving diseases that connect with brain, spine and nerves which body nervous system. The examples are many diseases; one of…

Our interest in the topic of Down syndrome (Trisomy 21) started when we heard about how many people are affected by this disease. The number of people affected by this disease in the United States alone is around 400,000 people. This genetic disorder is caused when a person is born with an extra copy of chromosome twenty-one. Down syndrome is recognized by things such as short stature, a distinctive palm crease, stubby fingers, mental retardation that can end up being serious, a wide gap between…

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…

What is Blepharospasm might you ask? The word is split into two different words when you break it down, the word Blepharo which means ‘Eye Lid” and the word Spasm which means “uncontrolled muscle contraction. So with that being said it is an abnormal blinking or eyelid ticking or twitching resulting from any cause. (BEB) is a rare neurological disorder of muscles around the eyes. They have a lot of spasms that come and go called intermittent. Early stage symptoms of this disease can start with…

MS occurs when the immune system attacks the myelin sheath that cover and protect the nerve fibers. When myelin is damaged the information, or the nerve impulses, from the sensory nerves can no longer reach CNS , which consequently lead to wrong responses in the body. Because MS is unpredictable disease, the progression of MS differ from one patient to another. Therefore, doctors have to follow the patient’s case carefully to recognize whether the Disease progresses to later stages or not. The…

1. Where does most of the adult neurogenesis occur (brain structure)? For human adults, neurogenesis would most naturally occur most in the hippocampus region of the brain (Curlik & Shors, 2013, p. 506). 2. This structure most associated with what types of activities? The hippocampus structure is most associated with how one's mental processes respond and adjust to a physical stimuli through learning and behavior (Curlik & Shors, 2013, p. 506). 3. Although most of the new cells die by…

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is inherited disorder that affects the lower motor neuron in the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord and brain stem resulting in progressive weakness of the skeletal muscles [1]. It is considered as one of the most common autosomal recessive diseases and leading genetic cause of death during childhood [2]. The primary cause of SMA is mutation of the spinal motor neuron 1 (SMA1) while the severity of the disease is determined by the number of identical spinal…

Working Toward a Solution By Shane Barry Many doctors and medical researchers have spent years on their exploration into spinal cord injuries. The encounters in which they have made have been used toward finding a new and innovative solution to these injuries in the hope of helping these patients walk or even move or feel again. Most of the injuries included are quite tragic such as partial or complete paralysis. Varying spinal cord injuries can come from the slightest impact or fall. They can…
