I am writing this letter to you to as a student at MIT‚ who is very concerned about her internship with Professor Tsai‚ since you are considering cutting back your research funding while Professor Tsai is doing such great work to find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease (AD). As an intern with Professor Tsai‚ I am against your decision because P. Tsai has worked so hard to create a valuable research that will help in the process of finding a treatment for AD. Alzheimer’s disease has become a serious

Neurodegenerative diseases is a common cause of dementia which means that the brain cells known at the neurons either are degenerating therefore the neuron die off quicker than that of the neurons of a normal aging processes. This will lead to a more decline in the persons mental health such as memory‚ language and sometimes their physical abilities all depending on which area of the brain is infected. These neurodegenerative diseases are known to us as Alzheimer’s‚ fronto-temporal dementia‚

Effects of Neurotransmission on Human Behaviour A neurotransmitter is a chemical message that carries signals from one neuron (pre-synaptic) to another reaction neuron (post-synaptic) within the human body. Most of the time a neurotransmitter is released from the axon terminal after an action potential has reached the synapse. The neurotransmitter then crosses the synaptic gap to reach the receptor of the other cell. The process repeats itself‚ which then causes a. Neurotransmitters play a very

system. These chemical messengers‚ called neurotransmitters‚ are released and received by the brain’s many nerve cells‚ which are also called neurons. Neurons are constantly communicating with each other by way of exchanging neurotransmitters. This communication system is essential to all of the brain’s functions. A tiny space called a synapse connects neurons to one another. Depression has been linked to problems or imbalances in the brain with regard to the neurotransmitters serotonin‚ norepinephrine

exercises on the body’s nervous system‚ Sir Charles Sherrington became a great contributor to Neurophysiology in its early stages of study. His work on the brain’s neuron processes unveiled how certain areas of the brain relate and work with each other to endorse the process of learning‚ the unearthing of “the anatomical concepts of the neuron and synapse” (Eccles‚ J.‚ 1957‚ p 218). Sherrington’s achievements led to new advances in the field of neurophysiology. Without the

Neural & Synaptic Transmission The nervous system is made up of neurons and glila cells. Neurons are the basic communication links in the nervous system. Glila cell provide support for neurons and contribute to communication. Neurons normally transmit a neural impulse (an electric current) along an axon to a synapse with another neuron. The neural impulse is a brief change in neuron’s electrical charge that moves along an axon. It is an all-or-none event. Action potential triggers
