Chapter 2- Neuroscience and biological foundations Glial Cells (three types): Make up about 90% of the brain’s total cells. They also supply nutrients and oxygen‚ perform clean up tasks‚ and insulate one neuron from another so that their neural messages are not scrambled. Oligodedreocytes: helps to create the myelin sheath. Purpose speed up communication in the brain. Insulate axons. Makes Neural transmissions. Microglia: Special immune cells in the brain. They can detect unhealthy and damaged

A professional nursing organization such as the American Association of Neuroscience Nurses requires its members to display specific core values and guiding principles that contribute to the “advancement of neuroscience nursing as a specialty through the development and support of nurses to promote excellence in patient care” (American Association of Neuroscience Nurses). The members of the AANN share values such as excellence‚ innovation‚ collaboration‚ integrity‚

The Study of Neuroscience By definition‚ Neuroscience is the study of the brain and nervous system and is considered a biological science. Neuroscience focuses on neurons‚ a nerve cell‚ of which the brain is made of tens of billions. Every neuron contains a nucleus that contains the DNA of the cell‚ just as most other cell types do. Unlike other cells‚ Neurons have the unique ability of communicating with one another via electrochemicals. Neurons also vary in length‚ some only a millimeter or two

A Neuroscience Nurse assists patients with all sorts of brain and nervous system disorders. Some duties include monitoring neurological exams‚ administering medication‚ and consulting physicians on patient progress. Neuroscience Nurses work in diverse‚ challenging and rewarding environments‚ such as hospitals‚ health care clinics‚ brain injury units‚ and intensive rehabilitation units. This type of nursing focuses on helping people deal with and recover from their conditions and improving physical

Genetic‚ neuroscience‚ and cognitive behavioral paradigms currently guide the study and treatment of psychopathology. Emotions and sociocultural are factors in psychopathology that are considered to be important roles. Genetics plays an important part in the explanation of how disorders are developed. Relationship between genes and the environment are bidirectional with nature via nurture that influences our bodies and genes. However mental illness is not inherited by genes; mental illness

science and the spirit become so broadened? Why have we escaped the desire to explain natural phenomenon on a spiritual stage? Further‚ what is it that would make one take a comprehension of neuroscience and turn that knowledge into a device used to disprove the existence of a soul? What if neuroscience is the natural but spiritual structure of what makes human consciousness possible? Can that be disproved? For me the answer is no and the linkage between these two ideas is only rational to consider

The brain is a complex organ that only makes up 2.5 percent of a person’s body weight‚ and controls every function in the body. Neuroscience research has shed a better light on how the environment; specifically technology and brain growth development‚ affects adolescent students in today’s society (Wolfe‚ 2001; DeWeese‚ 2014). The brain has the capabilities to receive an enormous amount of information‚ and select what is important enough to store. The hippocampus has a major role in learning and
