Contrary to popular belief‚ our brains do not reach adulthood and stop changing or growing. Although there are limitations‚ such as our inability to heal brain damage the way we heal other body parts‚ human brains continue to generate new neurons well past when was originally thought. This process is called neurogenesis‚ and until recently‚ was seen as a development only occurring in embryonic and perinatal stages in mammals. Luckily‚ this continues throughout life‚ and is beneficial to college

Stem Cell Research: Should we continue to allow scientists to create new embryonic stem cell lines? Good morning everyone. The topic of Stem Cell Research has been argued over by politicians‚ scientists and people all over the world for over a decade. Scientists should not be allowed to continue to create new embryonic stem cell lines. One of the ways to obtain stem cells for scientific research is to destroy a blastocyst (laboratory-fertilized human egg). Destroying the blastocyst is the equivalent

1. Explain broadly‚ what ‘3D Imaging’ is. You must identify the hardware and software typically associated with this field. 3D imaging is a process where there are two different images and they are put together to make give a three-dimensional feel to the single image. 2. Describe at least three areas that 3D imaging is used. You need to describe in detail The nature of the technology in relation to the specific area. This means you need to Elaborate on how the technology being is used‚ explaining

Abstract Damaged cardiac tissue will have long term effects on overall cardiac function and right now if cardiac tissue becomes necrotic there is no guaranteed recovery of the tissue. Although studies are being done to explore possibilities in regenerating new cardiac cells to replace the damaged cells. Since 1956 experimenting with multiple types of stem cells have resulted in various amount of outcomes in improving cardiac function. Stem cell therapy has not yet been perfected and still have unanswered

Introduction/Research Question The researchers are attempting to find if certain FVEP-P2 (electroencephalographic component of the flash visual evoked potential) procedures have enough diagnostic accuracy to determine who has amnesic mild cognitive impairment (MCIa)‚ which has been shown to lead to Alzheimer’s dementia (AD)‚ and who does not. This could change the way doctors discover MCIa and could lead to an increase in the potential for medicines or procedures that could prevent AD to be developed

Science has been making numerous strides in medicine over the decades. They have discovered a way to detect disease early‚ which makes a cure possible. With the assistance of technology‚ medical doctors are able to perform less evasive surgery‚ making recovery faster and lessen the possibility of complications. Science and medicine continue to research ways to make life for people. In 1998‚ scientist learned how to remove stem cells from human embryos and grow the cells in laboratories (Stem

Monocots and eudicots share features that define each as an angiosperm. At the cellular level‚ the two have similar structures and functions. Yet‚ as the cells differentiate and form into tissues and organ systems‚ there are structural and organizational differences that can be used to discern the two. These differences and modifications can be evolutionarily beneficial to the plant‚ and can also make the plant more desirable for human use. To begin‚ both monocots and eudicots have primary meristems

Embryonic Stem Cell Research is an important process that is already allowing scientists to test new drugs and figure out the cause of birth defects. The process is very delicate because scientists must work with a four to ten day old blastocyst to get the stem cells. They put the stem cells into a petri dish along with proteins and enzymes. The stew of cells‚ enzymes‚ and proteins is what helps regenerate the bad tissues that cause diseases. “Blastocysts can also potentially be created from a donor

Over the years technology has advanced in many ways. Some ways for the good and some ways for the bad. In both of the articles I learned about two advances and how they are useful. Even though the technology advancements might be useful there are still some cons to these advancements. To start off‚ since the early ancient civilizations the ray of light was believed to possess mystical and magical powers. The early people believe a ray of light was a message from God or it could heal people

EEGs Clinical psychologists and neuroscientific researchers have always sought to understand what is going on in the brain and what is on the mind of their clients. For centuries‚ direct examination of the brain was elusive and almost nearly impossible due to the inadequacy of technology. However‚ noninvasive advances in brain examination have alleviated those challenges‚ making it possible to explore and investigate the brain in depth. Electroencephalography (EEG) is used to monitor and test electrical
