TMA2: DESCRIBE HOW NEURONS IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM COMMUNICATE. INTRODUCTION. As we human being are biological being‚ we need to understand our biological make up‚ and we can only fully understand the different parts of our bodies by studying further. This essay aims to address research methods used to study and understand how we evolved. Our knowledge of the human body has grown and psychology itself has become an expanding field of knowledge‚ various research and studies have been

include the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and nerves that branch off of those two key parts. Nervous tissue consists of two kinds of nerve cells: Neurons are the basic structural unit of the nervous system. Each cell consists of the cell body‚ dendrites‚ and axon. Neuroglia‚ or glial cells‚ provide support functions for the neurons‚ such as insulation or anchoring neurons to blood vessels. Muscle tissue differs from other tissue types in that it contracts. Muscle tissue comes in three types: cardiac‚ smooth

These neurons project onto the inhibitory neurons which is then projected into the subthalamic nucleus. The STN are the only nucleus that contains the excitatory glutamatergic neurons which goes on to project onto the GPi. Also in the striatum neurons‚ it projects D1 receptors which goes straight to the GPi‚ therefore direct. The GPi has the final say on telling the thalamus what

genetic risks in neurodevelopmental disorder(8). The precise causes of these disorders are largely unknown. However‚ emerging evidence support that disruption of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)ergic interneurons‚ particularly parvalbumin (PV)-positive neurons‚ contributes to pathological changes underlying in ASDs (9). To investigate the genetic risk in specific neuronal‚ our recent study demonstrated that β-cat knockout (KO) in PV interneurons causes many behavioral deficits similar to autism patients

A neuron consists of a cell body and branching fibers:The dendrite fibers receive information from sensory receptors or other neurons‚ and the axon fibers pass that information along to other neurons. Sensory neurons send information from the body’s tissues and sensory organs inward to the brain and spinal cord‚ which process the information. Motor neurons carry outgoing information from the central nervous system to the
