Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is a disease occurring when antibodies produced by the body’s own immune system attack NMDA receptors in the brain. NMDA receptors are proteins that control electrical impulses in the brain. Their functions are critical for judgement, perception of reality, human interaction, the formation and retrieval of memory, and the control of unconscious activities (such as breathing, swallowing, etc), also known as autonomic functions. Common symptoms are flu-like symptoms…

this when she converses with Caleb. She also demonstrates the ability to take actions to fulfill her desires, she is able to manipulate Caleb into helping her escape. It is safe to say that she has that consciousness function as a part of her overall system, only time will tell if we can develop a consciousness robot like Ava. And if we do we must recognize for what it is, and that is a robot with a…

Brain development is when a child’s brain transforms during a period of development between utero and three. This development is crucial for many reasons, including the child’s relationships, their experiences and their surrounding environment, this continues throughout their life time. During the time of middle childhood (ages 7-11), there is a growth spurt which occurs in the brain around 8 or 9 which allows the organ (brain) to almost reaching its full size. The brain development during…

Choosing the best chiropractor can sometimes be difficult when you consider how many different chiropractic techniques and focuses there are. For instance, Dr. Patrick Waikem at Culebra Injury & Pain Clinic in San Antonio, TX offers chiropractic treatment for neck pain, low back pain, and other sources of pain, but he specializes in helping those who have suffered from auto accident injuries. When you are searching for a chiropractor to help with your pain or injury, here are a few guidelines…

Summary: In the visual perception: neural processing chapter it first started talking about how neurons work and what parts make up the neurons. The neurons contain three parts which are dendrites, axon, and the axon terminal. Dendrites are the structures that receive electrical messages from other neurons. In order for neurons to work, they will have to receive stimuli through their synaptic receptors. Once the dendrites receive the electrical messages from the other neurons it will transfer it…

GABA is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter. Having a deficiency in GABA can be a big factor contributing to stress and anxiety. It is a chemical that the brain uses to communicate with each other. It is something that slows down the body’s activities. If you have too much of it, then it will lead to being too relaxed. If you have too little of it, then that may cause eating disorders, you can’t relax, and other symptoms. Not only are these some factors of having too little or too much GABA, but…

A system that connects to the organism is the mall. The mall also has 5 parts that makes it up, just like the human body. The subparts of a mall are product, shelf, aisle, store, and those all make up the mall. The first subset of the human body are cells, and the first part to a mall are the products. Cells are similar to the products because they are both the smallest part to the whole, but they are necessary for the whole system to work. Cells in the human body are similar to the products in…

My favorite neurotransmitter is serotonin because it involves sleep, mood, anxiety, and appetite. Serotonin is found in the lower part of the brain it can either be excitatory or inhibitory, meaning it can produce excitement or to prohibit you from doing anything. Tryptophan is an amino acid that is found in cheese and nuts and once consumed it is turned into serotonin. Therefore, if one wants to know how to boost your serotonin levels up, one can go outside and be exposed to the sunlight or…

human disease. Observing C. elegans’s neurotransmission and its defects is optimal for understanding the nervous system in other organisms. In this experiment, strains of C. elegans, NM440, NM1233, and RK001 were…

This research suggested that the system called the glympathic system which was named by (Nedergaard ,M.,& Goldman, S.A.(2016). They proved that beta-amyloid were disposed of during the sleep cycle at a much faster rate than when the body was active during the wake cycle. While the body is in the sleep cycle mode, the movement of fluids from cell to cell in the brain is being controlled and the process of disposing harmful proteins are properly channeling through the synapse however if the…
