Synapse

C. elegans goes under survival stage called dauer when there is no sufficient food and it can last up to nearly 4 months without food (46). The nervous system of C. elegans is well studied, the adult worm has only 302 neuron cells and about 5000 synapse and the complete nervous system of the adult hermaphrodite has been reconstructed from electron micrographs of serial thin sections (7,48,49,50,51). The neurons have simple branching structures, and both the dispositions of cell processes, and…

Xanax; the 9th best selling drug in the US as well as the cause of 60,000 hospital admissions each year. I chose to research and talk about the effects of Xanax, also known as Alprazolam. It’s a type of anti-anxiety and sedative drug belonging to the group benzodiazepines. Xanax helps anxiety disorders, panic disorders and anxiety induced by depression. The first benzodiazepine, Librium, was created in 1956 by Leo Sternbach as an alternative to tranquilizing drugs that offered a safer and…

The amygdala and hippocampus assume crucial parts in emotions and memory. Located in the brain, the amygdala rests on either side of the thalamus and directly below the hippocampus and dictates some emotion. When damaged, emotions do not work efficiently and the creature will become indifferent to stimuli. Also located in the brain, the hippocampus lies beneath the thalamus and controls the process of changing short-term memory to long-term memory. If damaged this will inhibit the creature from…

No Complaining Challenge 1. You Will Learn How Pointless Complaining Really Is If you understand how pointless complaining really is, you will find yourself shifting gears as soon as you hear a complaint coming out of your mouth. But, the only way to really understand how pointless it is, is to stop complaining for a while! When you stop yourself from complaining, you must find something else to do, and in this challenge that 'something else' will often be taking action. You will see in…

When the brain learns, there are many different elements taking place. For instance, the brain has cell called neurons, the space between two neurons is called a Synapse (Medical Dictionary 2003). When new information is entering, or transmitting, something like an electrical current is created, this process is called a Synapses. When Synapses occurs, a new pathway is formed. When the information is revisited the pathway become stronger, the more a student learns about the topic the easier it is…

Inside Out is a children’s movie with five different emotions as main characters. Throughout the movie, these emotions run a little girl’s life and how she reacts to events that happen throughout her life. The five emotions names are Joy, Sadness, Fear, Anger, and Disgust. Riley, the girl these emotions control, reacts differently to each one in charge of the head panel. Developmental psychology at the middle-aged kids stage studies how middle-aged kids function and grow. There are many…

Elliot”, 2016). From the movie, “The Social Network”, it shows that Mark created an MP3 program in high school. This program is called Synapse. Synapse works as an attachment to an existing program, and it selected songs from a user’s digital library that were similar to what the user had previously played (“Zuckerberg”, 2008). Additionally, the creation of Synapse not only proved Zuckerberg’s…

The human body is a unique formation that represents how every component, whether it’s a chemical, cell, or organ all have an important role to have a healthy physiological and anatomical system. Dividing into which part of the body they control most, they create the organ systems that are the nervous, respiratory, articulatory, digestive, endocrine, and the cardiovascular system. The neurological, or the nervous, system is our control system that regulates impulses, chemicals, and commands to…

range from positive to negative i.e, excitatory PSP in the neuron to an inhibitory PSP.The weights vary in magnitude to model the synaptic plasticity in real neurons where learning due to experience can result in strengthening and weakening of synapses between neurons. Connectionist models are commonly known as Parallel Distributed Processing (PDP) models. They are used to model aspects of human perception, cognition, and behaviour It include learning processes underlying such…

The neurotransmitters within the synapse help regulate feeding, body temperature, and pain along with one’s mood. This means that altering the concentrations of these chemical signalers could aid in relieving other maladies as well, not just depression, as stated in Daniels article, “Depressed…
