of lactate which can lead to more neuronal dysfunction by means of “acidosis, membrane damage, altered blood brain barrier permeability, and cerebral edema” (Giza and Hovda). The energy crisis caused by the need to regulate the neuronal membrane voltage most likely makes “the brain less able to respond adequately to a secondary injury” and could lead to everlasting deficits (Giza and…

You've felt the feeling of exercising a lot and sweating but water just isn't enough you need something more like a sports drink. When you exercise a lot you lose salts in your body that need to be replenished with a new salt which are known as electrolytes. Why do the sports drinks make you feel awake? The reason is simple, the drinks contain these electrolytes which are like a food for the cells in your body. Amazingly these can also be found in batteries. Why isn't water just as good as a…

The milgram studies and their replications are not ethical research. The studies was not based on honest communication, they would tell them that they must go on with the experiment and did not give them an out. They also told the participants that one would get shocked and one would press the button but no one actually got shocked. The participants were not treated fairly either during this experiment. They were put into situations that could have left lasting effects on them without warning.…

there any current medical uses now? A use of cocaine in medicine is as a local atheistic (Cocaine HCL) used in surgery as a local anesthetic in the sensitive areas of the body - including the nose, mouth, and eyes- “by binding to and blocking the voltage-gated sodium channels in the neuronal cell membrane… inhibits the initiation and conduction of nerve impulses and produces a reversible loss of sensation.”…

The issue I will be talking about will be on whether human behaviors are determined largely by the situation they are in. The key concepts of Conformity brought by the Asch’s experiment and also Obedience to authority in the Milgram’s experiment along with the key concept of role playing in the Stanford prison experiment will be used to support the issue statement. The concept used to counter the issue statement will be Schema which will be explained using an experiment done by Bransford and…

"Obedience is as basic an element in the structure of social life as one can point to," says Stanley Milgram in his essay, "The Perils of Obedience" (Milgram 78). As he prepared to conduct a more extreme case of analyzing obedience in which test subjects would read off a group of words while the "learner," who was an actor, would have to pair the two correct words together, only to be shocked in an electric chair if they failed, Milgram hypothesized that the test subjects would listen to their…

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…

Electrophysiology involves using electric conductance to measure the electrical activity of cells and tissues in biological samples. It regulates the electrical activity through a change in voltage or electric current. Specifically, in neuronal cells, it helps in the assessment of action potential, long-term potentiation (LTP) and long term depression (LTD)-all of which play an important role in the synaptic activity of the cell. Patch Clamp technique is one of the widely used electrophysiology…

who just did what they were told still had the choice to stop and say this is wrong and the Nazi’s who influenced what they did are greatly to blame as well. Only 35% of the people tested in the experiment stopped before going all the way to 475 voltage shocks so the Nazi’s could have stoped eventually but couldn’t because they were told not to. The experiment consisted of testing the subjects to see their reactions of following…

cool. They now result to blasting the air conditioner and raising the consumption of energy which can lead to other problems like power outages and blackouts. These problems occur when there is too much energy being consumed and not enough power voltage to spread…
