Seizure trigger

therefore unable to break down glucocerebroside into ceramide and glucose. Glucocerebroside present outside the macrophages in other cell types is responsible for causing the degradation or production of other complex glycolipids. This therefore triggers cell death and can eventually affect calcium metabolism and neurological functions. The accumulation of glucocerebroside within macrophage lysosomes causes tissue damage, localised compression of blood vessels as well as macrophage activation…

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a procedure that involves electric currents being passed through the brain in order to trigger a brief seizure. The procedure involves electrodes that are placed on the patient's scalp in order to apply a controlled electric current, thereby causing a brief seizure in the brain.

terminal, the synapse, and the myelin sheath. The dendrites are branch like bushy extensions that receive the information and conduct impulses towards the cell body. The soma, or cell body, makes sense of the information and works It out. It also triggers the action potential and all or nothing response. The axon is a neuron’s extension that sends messages to other neurons or to muscles or glands. It transmits the Impulse, aka the action potential. The axon terminal, or the terminal button is…
