    formation of neuritic plaques and tau tangles throughout the brain. Neurons that were once healthy begin to work less efficiently. As the disease progresses‚ the neurons lose their capability of functioning and communicating with one another‚ leading to neuron death.  With the progression of AD the damage spreads to the hippocampus‚ a brain structure. The hippocampus is vital for forming memories.  As more and more neurons die‚ regions of the brain that are affected begin to shrink. By the

    norepinephrine. 3. Neurons can excite or inhibit another neuron. Exciting another neuron will increase the chances of a/an __excites___ in the second neuron. Inhibiting another neuron will make the chances of a/an __inhibits______ less likely. 4. Axons from one neuron can synapse with the dendrites or soma of another axon. These synapses are called _axosomatic___ (on dendrites) and __axodendritic____ (on soma). They carry input signals to the other neuron. Axons from one neuron can synapse

    Introduction Neurons (also known as neurons‚ nerve cells and nerve fibers) are electrically excitable and the most important cells in the nervous system that functions to process and transmit information. Neurons have a large number of extensions called dendrites. They often look likes branches or spikes extending out from the cell body. It is primarily the surfaces of the dendrites that receive chemical messages from other neurons. One extension is different from all the others‚ and is called

    Abstract This article is investing the effects of speed of the action potential across many neurons through investigating two diseases and performing related lab simulations. Multiple sclerosis and epilepsy are the two disease which are investigated and through the use of Neurons in Action lab simulations‚ we saw the effects that demyelination and channelopathy can have. As my hypothesis guessed‚ demyelination is the main cause of multiple sclerosis and channelopathy is the main cause of epilepsy

    Alzheimer’s dementia is a neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by several brain abnormalities that are selective and only affect neurons in specific regions of the brain. This disease is characterized by a progressive decrease in neuronal activity and neuronal survival. Historically‚ researchers have used Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines to scan patients with Alzheimer’s disease and the unaffected old adults and then use supercomputers to create color-coded maps which revealed
