Myelin visited my office yesterday complaining of numbness in his right leg and face. He has also been experiencing muscle weakness and mild depression. I noticed a delay in his visual response in both eyes. I have referred Myelin to your facility because of possible multiple sclerosis, and I am requesting an MRI of the brain and spine. Please fax the results to me as soon as possible.…

Graham invites her audience throughout Night Journey to connect with the many emotions of the main character, Queen Jocasta through the effective use of motifs. One of the first motifs recognised in Graham’s choreography is when Jocasta sharply throws one her of legs outward in a series of developè like movements to the side twisting her upper body in one direction then another. This motif sequence is a symbolic representation of the confusion and pain she is feeling about the decisions she has to make. Throughout Graham’s piece, another motif is recognised where Jocasta tosses her head and arms backwards so that her head is parallel to the sky in a high release. Graham’s intention for the use of the high release in her choreography explicitly captures Jocasta’s desperation as she seeks guidance from the God’s. When the high release movement is performed after the first motif mentioned, it clearly indicates Jocasta’s vulnerability when making a decision as she desires the assistance from higher power. Jocasta executes many sharp and precise movements especially a motif of a contraction from her core afterward her arms quickly wrap around her waist. This movement is representative of Jocasta’s anxiety and stress…
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects the movement. It develops gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. But while a tremor may be the most well-known sign of Parkinson's disease, the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement.…
While neuron disorders are debilitating diseases, scientists are researching promising new cures. This research ranges from the crosstalk between motor and sensory neurons, to the morphing of skin cells, and the function of the CLP1 gene and its role in certain diseases.…

The nervous system is one of the most important systems in the body. The nervous system helps to keep the human body in balance. There are several important parts of the nervous system; the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Each part of the nervous system has different jobs. There are two main parts of the nervous system peripheral and central.…

The nervous system is composed of all nerve tissues in the body. The functions of nerve tissue are to receive stimuli, transmit stimuli to nervous centers, and to initiate response. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord and serves as the collection point of nerve impulses. The peripheral nervous system includes all nerves not in the brain or spinal cord and connects all parts of the body to the central nervous system. The somatic nervous system controls functions that are under conscious voluntary control such as skeletal muscles and sensory neurons of the skin. The autonomic nervous system, mostly motor nerves, controls functions of involuntary smooth muscles, cardiac muscles, and glands. In peripheral nervous system, a chemical neurotransmitter carries the nerve impulses from neuron to…
