Olfactory receptor neuron

analysis. Honeybees are considered ideal model organisms and are frequently used to study learning and memory in invertebrates (Eisenhardt, 2014). The mushroom-like population of neurons have been previously characterized to include Kenyon cells (KC), which resemble hippocampal neurons (Wright et al., 2013). These neurons display plasticity and are involved in learning and memory (Wright et al., 2013). In addition, they integrate and relay sensory information to facilitate the perception of…

Analysis of Adenosine receptor blockage’s effects on the electrophysiology of HCTP/OR producing neurons of the Hypothalamus – receptor blockage mediated by Caffeine Introduction In this experiment, the quantification of firing rate changes on a specific neural sub-group will be analyzed via whole cell patch-clamping and the application of the common psychoactive drug-caffeine. The significance of quantifying the electrical signaling of the chosen neuron is to proportionally quantify the…

These receptors are found in the cardiac muscle and their stimulation has a positive inotropic effect (increases the contractility of the heart). It does so without significantly increasing heart rate or affecting peripheral vascular resistance (as it does not activate alpha adrenergic receptors of blood vessels). The result is increased cardiac output via increased stroke volume (Tariq & Aronow, 2015)…

Additionally GLPP-1 receptor agonist treatment has shown reduction in the occurrences of hypoglycemia when chosen as a mode of treatment. Clinical trials were extensively conducted for about 84 weeks. In Comparison with Insulin Glargine, Exenatide QW lowered A1C level significantly…

unfortunately, two thirds of this population are between 12 and 17 years old (Sofuoglu, Sugarman & Carroll, 2010). Marijuana contains an active ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which alters the human central reward pathway by stimulating cannaboid receptors in the place of anandamide, a hormone of the endocannabinoid system, ultimately causing a sense of euphoria, a common attribute of other abused…

My research interests are focused on molecular mechanisms of memory formation during infancy. I’m very interested in exploring how experiences during infancy results in hippocampal long-lasting changes, which influence adult behavior. Traumatic early life experiences can predispose individuals to psychopathologies, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), borderline personality disorder, addiction, depression and anxiety1-4. Paradoxically, episodic memories formed during infancy are…

This essay illustrates the classification of antagonists according to their characteristics. The classification of antagonists is divided into two main categories, receptor antagonists and non-receptor antagonists. In receptor antagonists, it would be divided into competitive antagonists and non-competitive antagonists. In non-receptor antagonists, divided into chemical antagonists and physiological antagonists. In different categories, there are different examples to support the feature of the…

coming off. Ibogaine acts on almost all receptors in the brain, but primarily the…

Legendary musician Bob Marley once said, “Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.” Bob Marley believed that smoking marijuana opened up a spiritual gateway leading him to become one of the greatest musicians and poets to live. A lot of people other than Bob believe that marijuana can be the answer to a lot of the world's problems. Many cannabis users today argue for the legalization of medicinal and recreational use of marijuana. Marijuana is shown to help with many…

anti-bacterial. Terpinolene has sedative effects. Outside the body it has shown to be a repellant of mosquitoes and weevils. Linaool Also found in lavender. Relieves anxiety and stress. Is a strong anticonvulsant and is said to amplify serotonin receptor transmission. Linaool has antidepressant effects and is effective topically to heal tissue and reduce scarring. Phytol Phytol is unique from other terpenes, offering other medical options. Phytol is the byproduct of decomposed chlorophyll.…
