Aging in the brain is a complex process that involves several systems and structures. Normal aging not only shows a decreased activity in neurotransmission‚ but also is a major risk factor for the development of neurodegenerative diseases. Dysfunction of the central noradrenergic and dopaminergic systems is one of the biological characteristics of aging‚ which may contribute to changes in cognitive and motor functions in aged persons. Furthermore‚ aging-dependent norepinephrine (NE) loss occurs earlier

The brain develops very quickly 75% by age 2. Describe the brain’s communication system and all of the individual parts associated with this. Neuron‚ axon dendrite‚ synapse‚ neurotransmitter and receptor. Also include transient exuberance. Neuron consists of a cell body and branching fibers. Neurons can communicate by firing chemical or electrical signals. It is excitable and can transmit and process information through electrical and chemical signals. Those signals occur in synapses. Synapses are

“Fear is a chain reaction in the brain that starts with a stressful stimulus and ends with a release of chemicals.” (Layton‚ 2010) Fear is a response given out from the brain. The brain is part of the Central Nervous System. It has many different parts that work together to do day to day things‚ even when you sleep. Fear is an emotion that the brain signals out in case of any potential danger. (Serendip‚ 2002) There will be an outside stimulus that we are afraid of. Fear maybe different‚ but the
