Thesis Statement Multiple Sclerosis is mainly an inflammatory disorder of the brain and spinal cord in which central lymphocytic permeation leads to harm of the myelin scabbard and axons. Initially‚ inflammation is temporary and re-myelination occurs but is not long-lasting. Hence‚ the early course of disease is characterized by occurrences of neurological dysfunction that usually recover. However‚ over time the pathological alterations start to take over by widespread microglia activation

The multiple realizability thesis says that there is more than one way to create a specific mental experience. An alternative way to state this is to say that widely different physical systems can have the same mental experience. The implied consequence is that it is the function of the physical system that is causal to the mental experience‚ an idea I will refer to as functionalism. Historically‚ the concept of multiple realizability facilitated the move from identity theory to functionalism. Functionalism

Pathophysiology of Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune demyelinating disease of the central nervous system‚ affecting the brain and spinal cord. MS affects approximately 400‚000 people in the United States alone. The onset of MS is usually between 20 and 40 years of age and is more common in women; men may have a more severe progressive course (Luzzio‚ 2013). Life expectancy is shortened in persons with MS‚ and the survival rate is linked to disability

November 15‚ 2007 Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the central nervous system that affects the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and the optic nerves. In MS‚ the myelin sheath‚ a fatty tissue that surrounds and protects nerve fibers‚ is damaged. Inflammation also occurs which further destroys the sheath and eventually the nerves that it encompasses. This leads to areas of multiple scarring or sclerosis which can slow down or even block nerve
