There are two forms of homeostasis‚ positive feedback and negative feedback. The type of feedback which is most common is negative feedback. This works by making the levels that have changed return back to normal. Positive feedback is the least common type of feedback. This is where one component escalates to another which continues to escalate to another. In positive feedback the level of control the component does not return to normal straight away. Negative feedback is usually what happens inside

Becker Muscular Dystrophy Becker Muscular Dystrophy (BMD) is a genetic disorder that typically appears with gradual muscle weakness. This condition is caused by mutations of a gene named Dystrophin. In this case‚ a 9-year-old boy with BMD also became diagnosed with epilepsy and dysgnosia. This young boy presented a relatively long history of episodic epileptic seizures. Compared to his peer group‚ his growth and development milestones were delayed. By the age of 14 months‚ he could run and walk

Overview Ocular rosacea is a condition in which inflammation causes burning‚ itching‚ and redness in the eyes. As implied by the name‚ it is often seen in patients who already have rosacea on the face‚ but it may also be the first indication that the condition will develop later in life. Ocular rosacea usually affects middle-aged adults‚ many of whom tend to flush or blush more easily than most people. It can ultimately lead to various problems with vision and‚ in the worst cases‚ vision loss.

Essay Describe and evaluate the synaptic homeostasis model of sleep The synaptic homeostasis model of sleep (Tononi & Cirelli‚ 2003) explains memory consolidation as a by-product of synaptic downscaling that occurs during sleep. This essay will describe the synaptic homeostasis model of sleep and evaluate how valid its predictions are in the face of empirical research. According to this model‚ synaptic potentiation is associated with the homeostatic regulation of slow wave activity‚ which
