Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) is a rare but severe inflammatory process of the central nervous system. NMO “is characterized by longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis‚ which can leave one quite debilitated at presentation‚ and unilateral or bilateral optic neuritis (TMA‚ 2015).” The condition “attacks on the optic nerves and spinal cord. Patients may experience these attacks at the same time or at different times (Cleveland Clinic‚ 2015).” NMO can affect children as young as 3 years old and

coffee daily might cut their risk of developing Parkinson’s almost in half. And not only that‚ coffee could improve human brain functions. Coffee could elevate mood and feelings of well-being. It also reduces fatigue and helps the central nervous system to remain alert. Imagine that drivers who drove such long distances day and night‚ drinking coffee could help them stay alert and focused on the road. If people felt tired and sleepy in the morning‚ drinking a cup of hot coffee can increase

developed in the early 1960’s. It is dissociative anesthetic and is used in human and veterinary medicines but‚ it is primarily used for anesthesia. Ketamine is under the category of Hallucinogens. Hallucinogens interfere with the brain and the central nervous system by in radical distortions of a user’s perception of reality. Images‚ sensations‚ and sounds with be experienced but don’t actually exist. When you take ketamine the short term effects are… sleepiness‚ confusion‚ loss of coordination‚ blurred

The eighth cranial nerve‚ which will be referred to as the auditory nerve for simplicity‚ consists of the cochlear and vestibular divisions. These two divisions‚ running from the inner ear to the brain‚ are responsible for transmitting information about hearing and maintaining balance‚ respectively. When the Schwann cells (used to keep peripheral nerve fibers alive) that

Pithing and Muscle Preparation. The method for pithing the frog and preparing the frog gastrocnemius muscle will be described by the instructor. The object of the pithing operation is to destroy specified parts of the central nervous system. In this case the frog is pithed as a means of immobilization and anaesthesia. Generally‚ pithing the spinal cord only is adequate. To skin the frog leg‚ cut the skin all around the upper end of the leg. Pull the skin down the leg‚ freeing it from

BLUE BRAIN 1. Introduction The name of the world’s first virtual brain. That means a machine that can function as human brain. Computer simulations in neuroscience hold the promise of dramatically enhancing the scientific method by providing a means to test hypotheses using predictive models of complex biological processes where experiments are not feasible. Of course‚ simulations are only as good as the quality of the data and the accuracy of the mathematical abstraction of the biological
