Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder that affects a persons thoughts‚ feelings‚ and actions. Schizophrenia complicates reality with imaginary which causes unresponsiveness and solitary which leads to complications in expressing natural emotions in social situations. Schizophrenia is not caused by childhood

What is Neurofeedback A river carves a canyon over many years. Once a canyon (the thought processes) is carved‚ it’s extremely hard to re-route. In the late 60’s and early 70’s we learned that one could recondition and retrain brainwave patters. Some of the work began with the training of Alpha waves for relaxation. Brainwaves occur at various frequencies-some fast and some are slow. You have probably heard of some of them‚ Beta‚ Alpha‚ Theta and Delta. Each of us always has some degree of these

Summary: Further studies need to be done on the usage of Haldol treatment in the long-term. Patients of all ages have been given Haldol and providers don’t now the outcome of a patient who uses Haldol in the long-term. An elderly patient who suffers from schizophrenia are usually given Haldol for a long-term therapy. The provider may administer Haldol as way to decrease the hallucinations or delusions‚ but without knowing what could happen to the patient in the long-term. Rats studies have shown

Clozapine is the supreme remedy for Schizophrenia because it decreases the symptoms of hallucinations‚ delusions‚ and overall taught disorders. Individuals with Schizophrenia start to “experience hallucinations‚ paranoia‚ and delusions in their psychotic phases”; based on this‚ one must conclude that Schizophrenics have to battle against taught disorders‚ which can be fortunately made easier to live with‚ with the assistance of Clozapine medication (Nichols et al. 1). In addition‚ antipsychotic

The headache of migraine results from neurogenic inflammation of first-division trigeminal sensory neurons that innervate the large vessels and meninges of the brain. This causes a change in the way that pain is processed by the brain. Increased neuronal activity can be demonstrated in areas of the brainstem during migraine‚ and this persists even when the headache is relieved by triptans. It is not known whether this brainstem activation reflects the cause of migraine (the so-called brainstem generator)

Huntington’s chorea‚ or more commonly known as Huntington’s disease (HD)‚ is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects both men and women. Although previously thought to be a relatively rare disease‚ new research discoveries show that it’s actually more common than not; while the onset of symptoms typically occurs in a person’s 40s and 50s‚ research has also shown that individuals in their 70s‚ 80s and even 90s have enough repeats in the HTT gene to develop mild HD symptoms.

Much of the information we know regarding the abuse-related effects of cannabinoids comes from preclinical studies using the drug discrimination procedure (Balster and Prescott‚ 1992; Wiley‚ 1999). The drug discrimination procedure is based on the ability of a drug to induce a specific set of interoceptive stimulus conditions perceived by animals that might be predictive of the subjective reports of perceptions/feelings induced by the same drug in humans. As a result‚ the drug discrimination procedure

Deficit in the ability to attribute mental states of another person such as thoughts‚ beliefs and intentions‚ also referred to as ‘Theory of mind’ (ToM) or “mentalization”‚ is a key component in the functional impairment of social cognition in schizophrenia. The difficulty of patients with schizophrenia to interpret emotional expression‚ social contexts and mental state of others can result in social withdrawal and social isolation‚ and effect daily functioning. This proposal aims to characterize

PHYSIOLOGY Transmembrane receptors composed of excitable G-proteins‚ which cross the cell membrane and link selectively with extra cellular ligands are called adrenoceptors. They are also termed as α-2 Adrenoceptor agonists α-2 adrenergic receptors. Three α-2 isoreceptors - α-2a‚ α-2b and α-2c of adreno receptor bind α-2 agonists and antagonists with similar rapport and share an amino acid composition homology of roughly 70 to 75%. The efficacy of sub receptor specific agonists that constrains deleterious

t is important to mention the Neuron as carrier impulses from the CNS to the periphery‚ the peripheral nerves in turn have the funsion to carry messages from one part of the organism to another‚ so we can understand the action of these drugs. They act in the prevention‚ generation and propagation of the nervous impulse. Acting on the blocking of the depolarization initiation‚ allowing Na + to enter the nerve cell from rest to the trigger threshold (- 50a - 60 mV) would consequently impede the initiation
