Rm Sleep Behavior Thesis
I reached into a cool bucket and held a tenacious grip on a brain, that once had enough electrochemical energy to light up a room and spark an idea. I immediately became fascinated and spent countless hours glued to neurosurgical handbooks and various medical journals learning about the physiology of the brain. Currently, I am taking an online medical neuroscience class through Duke University. In 2015 I conducted a dissertation on how to electrically stimulate the brain thus preventing REM Sleep Behavior Disorder. I presented my dissertation to Dr. Erik St Louis, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic. Dr. St Louis took an interest in my thesis and invited me to work with his research team and help publish my dissertation. Furthermore, I believe

    Weill Cornell Medical College is known for its innovators who have brought to life cutting-edge tests and procedures like Dr. Papanicolaou’s Pap Smear that revolutionized the early detection and prevention of cervical cancer and Dr. Schiff’s “deep brain stimulation” therapy for patients in minimally conscious state. I believe that Weill Cornell's dedication to collaboration and teamwork has led to a legacy of excellence and I would be honored for the opportunity to learn and grow as an aspiring physician-scientist in this environment. I am interested in participating in the small group Problem-Based Learning sessions in the curriculum that facilitate communication, knowledge sharing and learning among peers. Moreover, the many research opportunities within the Weill Cornell/Rockefeller/Sloan-Kettering Tri-Institutional MD PhD Program and its affiliation with neighboring hospitals excites me.…

    “The Sleep” by Caitlin Horrocks basically tell you about the people in the small town of Bounty. Protagonist Albert Rasmussen wife was killed by a drunk driver on an icy road. In this town the people looked up to Albert Rasmussen because he was smart and decided to stay in Bounty after graduation. Albert had gathered the whole town over in his family room to have a discussion. This discussion took place “…before the cameras, before the sleep, before the outsiders, and the plan sounded as strange to us as it would to anybody” (Horrocks 104). This literally means that they didn’t have anything much technology and before they actually decided to sleep. In this short story “The Sleep” sleep is a symbol to many things such as hibernation, separation, death.…

    After recording my sleep for a whole week I came to some realizations that I should probably go to bed a little earlier. Though in an regular week, full of classes, exams, and other events I was able to average a little under 8 hours. There were nights that I was only able to squeeze in a little under 6 hours. I was able to go home that weekend, so you can see that I obviously sleep better there than I do in my dorm bed, I was able to catch up on sleep and get way over the recommended amounts. I do think that I get a decent amount of sleep when you average it out, but when you start to look at it separately the nights that I was only allowed 5 or so hours were really rough days for me.…

    When I was little it was very hard for my parents to get me to read, I hated it with all my heart until I entered the 3rd grade and found a book on mummification. The only things I remember about this book is that the Egyptians removed the brain by pulling pieces of it out through the nose until the cranium was empty. I thought that was the coolest thing in the world and my love for all things brain developed. I didn’t acknowledge that my love for playing doctor and my love for the brain could be a career. I didn’t know that becoming a neurosurgeon was a possibility. To successfully achieve my new goal of becoming a neurosurgeon, I need to know everything there is to know about the job, how to get the best education to prepare myself, and…

    I began spending much of my free time reading up on the latest advancements in medical research. The subject matter engendered a level of excitement that I did not experience in the work related to my current career. My enthusiasm for the material, in combination with the experiences from my upbringing, prompted me to enroll in undergraduate biology and chemistry courses. These studies led me to the realization that I wanted to pursue a career that would allow me to combine my commitment to science with my desire to make an impact in the field of medicine. I have decided to move forward with applying for a master’s degree in cell and molecular biology at San Diego State University (SDSU) in order to facilitate a career change to medical…

    We can define sleep as a period of rest and we can define immediate memory as an organism's ability to store, retain, and subsequently retrieve information. Therefore if the organism rests for a period of time the ability to store, retain and retrieve information will be improved. This study will focus on how sleeping a minimum of 7 hours a day will reflect a notorious improvement in memory. We will also be able to compare if women have better memory than men, if there is a significant difference between these two groups; age will also be compared, we will be able to see if younger people are able to have a better memory than older people. This study will also help us understand the importance of resting on daily bases so we can have a good performance in our daily activities.…
