Encephalitis; Nervous System Homeostatic Imbalance Megan Patterson SC 122 004 Husson University Professor Frankland Abstract For this paper I will be discussing a homeostatic imbalance of the nervous system called Encephalitis. Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain mostly caused by viral infections and some bacterial. (Mayo Clinic Staff‚ 2012) It occurs in approximately 0.5 per 100‚000 individuals with it most commonly occurring in people with weakened immune systems‚ the elderly‚ and

arthritis‚ and other autoimmune diseases. Early symptoms can be mild appearing as other ailments and‚ therefore‚ years may elapse between onset and diagnosis. In MS‚ axon demylination and nerve fiber loss occurs in patches throughout the central nervous system. This causes a wide spread and chronic dysfunction involving impulse transmission. For example‚ symptoms range from sensory-perceptual deficits to fatigue weakness‚ tremors‚ ataxia‚ dysphagia‚ slurred speech‚ incontinence and involuntary evacuation

Rabies is Rhabdoviridae it is a family of viruses which includes Lyssavirus ‚Ephemerovirus and Vesiculovirus(A.S.). Where it affects the body and how: It affects the brain and spinal cord‚ or central nervous system (CNS). When rabies enter the body it makes it’s way to the spinal cord via the peripheral nervous system’s afferent nerves (nerves that carry impulses toward the CNS). Once the virus gets into the spinal cord‚ it’s quickly sent up to the brain‚ where it begins replicating itself inside the

Gasson and his team at the University of Reading. This device consisted of an internal electrode array‚ connected to an external "gauntlet" that housed supporting electronics. It was implanted on 14 March 2002‚ and interfaced directly into Warwick’s nervous system. The electrode array inserted contained 100 electrodes‚ of which 25 could be accessed at any one time‚ whereas the median nerve which it monitored carries many times that number of signals. The experiment proved successful‚ and the signal produced
