Louis Cozolino‚ PhD‚ has been my mentor and colleague throughout the process. He has reviewed every chapter and helped me avoid writing about possible brain pathways as if they were certainties. Because of Lou‚ I believe that everything in these pages reflects established brain science. He’s been a pleasure

the four factors that affect the rate of drug distribution. The four factors that affect the rate of drug distribution are absorption‚ metabolism‚ distribution‚ and excretion. a. Absorption is the movement of a drug from its site of administration into the blood. Most drugs are absorbed by passive absorption but some drugs need carrier-mediated transport. Example: Acidic drugs such as aspirin will be better absorbed in the stomach whereas basic drug like morphine will be

When Lara is walking toward the dorm after a long day of classes she begins to feel hungry. The subcortical structure in the brain that regulates hunger is the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is located in the prosencephalon of the brain in the sub cortex referred to as the diencephalon (Rouse‚ 2015). Hypothalamus’ main job is to maintain homeostasis in the body (Rouse‚ 2015). Hormones from the hypothalamus aides to regulate functions in the body‚ some including: hunger‚ body temperature‚ thirst

Against Stem Cell Research Research on stem cells is knowledge constantly being explored about how an organism evolves from a single cell and how cells in good condition are put in place of cells that no longer work. The outcome that is anticipated from doing this research is that if scientist can fine tune stem cells into regular cells like blood or heart muscles and put it back into the body‚ then possibly they may find a cure for some of the widespread diseases that exist in our world

STEM CELLS Where are stem cells sourced from? Stem cells are sourced from three main sources‚ Embryos‚ bone marrow and umbilical cord blood. Each different sources’ Stem Cells are either totipotent‚ pluripotent or multipotent. Refer to Figure 1 Figure 1 Stem Cells can be categorised into their capability of being cultured into a different cell. Embryonic Stem Cells: Are pluripotent cells meaning they can be cultured into most cell types. The Embryonic Cells are sourced from in the internal cell

HUMAN BRAIN The human brain is the center of the human nervous system. All the functions and the decisions of human being have been decided by the brain. The adult human brain weighs on average about 3 lb (1.5 kg) with a size (volume) of around 1130 cubic centimeters (cm3) in women and 1260 cm3 in men‚ although there is substantial individual variation. The Theory of the structure and functions of the mind suggests that the two different sides of the brain control two different “modes” of

multiple diseases? With stem cell research there can be a cure for today’s incurable illness. The debate for and against stem cells and research on them‚ has been around since stem cells were discovered. Is it ethical to end the possibility of one’s life to save another? When discussing stem cell research one must discuss what stem cell research contains‚ how they work‚ potential therapy‚ and the many misconceptions that come along with this controversial topic. Is stem cell research ethical?
