    cerebellar cortex, sensory information and motor output (Giessen et al. 2008). The cerebellar cortex play an important role in attention and language (Giessen et al. 2008). Van Der Giessen discover that the blockage of Cx36 in mice case a slow movement of the mice and cause raped eye blink in responses to sound (2008). Therefore olivary neurons is found to be essential for time adjustment of action potentials and thereby for learning dependent timing in cerebellar motor control (Giessen et al.…

    The structure of the cerebral cortex The cerebral cortex is the cerebrum’s outer layer. It is divided into two cortices, the left and the right cerebral hemispheres divided by the medial longitudinal fissure. The cerebral cortex plays a major role in memory, attention, perception, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. The human cerebral cortex is thick about 2-4mm.The cerebral cortex is gray matter, consisting mainly of cell bodies and capillaries. It contrasts with the underlying…

    Unlike other bodily cells, neurons do not undergo cell division, meaning that their health is critical. When WNV infects the central nervous system, it triggers the response of a type of glial cell known as a microglial cell. Microglial cells are the primary component of the central nervous system’s immune response. These cells phagocytize, or swallow, and remove the pathogen-damaged nerve cells. They also activate proinflammatory cytokines which can unintentionally cause harm to healthy cells.1…

    In the United States the Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is sometimes called motor neuron disease. Also known as ALS this disease causes the nerve cells to gradually break down and die. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is known to be a progressive degeneration of the nervous system disease. Which causes muscle weakness and the impact of physical functions. The ALS often begins by the twitching of a leg or arm or the weakening of muscles. In other cases it also begins by the slurring of speech. This…

    resilient bundles of collagen fibers. Motor nerves innervate the fibers of the skeletal muscles, which is controlled voluntarily. The action potential in a muscle fiber allows for an increase in the influx of calcium causing what we know as a twitch. A twitch is a contraction of the muscle due to only one action potential generated. Muscle nerves govern movements in a variation of ways. First is by recruitment, which simply means modifying the number of firing motor axons. Due to this…

    inhibition. In Alzheimer's disease, these functions are affected. Basic skills such as reading, writing, and arithmetic begin to prove difficult for a person with Alzheimer's. Thus, the progressive deterioration of specific cognitive skills of language, motor, and perception coupled with impaired activities of daily living supports a probable diagnosis of Alzheimer's (Tupper &Cicerone 138). Moreover, individuals may begin to exhibit symptoms such as inappropriate language or undressing in…
