Abstract: Alzheimer disease has become a common disease in aging‚ which accounts for 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases (Qiu‚ Kivipelto & Strauss‚ 2009). β-Amyloid deposition in brain is associated with cognitive decline in aging‚ which is associated with the risk of developing Alzheimer Disease. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is collected in the walls of blood vessels‚ which can cause blockages and cerebral amyloidosis if the LDL level becomes higher. Since many patients with cerebral

have repeated more sequences heard in the right ear. The dichotic listening test is non-invasive‚ and it is just as accurate an indicator of primary language center hemisphere as the sodium amytal test method. Functional brain imaging uses positron emission tomography (PET) or functional MRI to measure brain activity while the subject is performing an activity such as reading; typically‚ functional brain imaging used on language tests reveals more activity in the left hemisphere.

Flame Tests Atomic Emission and Electron Energy Levels AES‚ or atomic emission spectroscopy‚ is a method which chemically analyzes the particular wavelength of a sample element to identify and determine the abundance of this certain element. The wavelength of the atomic spectral line unveils the identity of the element while the emitted light intensity is proportional to the number of atoms in the element. The flame test is also a very effective way to identify an individual element. The color

The brain imaging technologies that will be examined are electroencephalography (EEP)‚ functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)‚ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‚ and positron emission tomography (PET). These brain imaging technologies are either functional or structural. Functional BIT’s are ones that are used to identify metabolic disease and lesions on a finer scale‚ while structural BIT’s are ones that deal with the structural

screening to for the image needed. With this application the target tissue must absorb the compound that contains the isotope; one of the most popular used isotopes for scans is Technetium -99m‚ this isotope last only for a period of time. Positron emission tomography (PET) is another technique used. With the radiation therapy this is the method used to treat cancers‚ to apply this treatment a boron-11 isotope solution is placed within the tumor which bombards it with neutrons; particles are only produced

Biological Approach to Depression The biological approach is based on the idea that depression has a physical or organic cause. One explanation suggests that some people are simply more genetically inclined to develop depression‚ as Hecimovic suggested that it was caused by a mutation in the 5-HTT gene‚ which was responsible for coding for serotonin production‚ and that this mutation is inherited. Family studies‚ twin studies and adoption studies have all helped support the role of genetics in

There are several methods that both measure and scan the cortical functions of the brain and they both have their individual strengths and weaknesses. In a Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan the scanner injects the patient with glucose containing radiotracers which are radioactive and emit positrons which are then picked up by the scanner. As glucose is used for energy in the body it will travel to the brain and distributes itself to the parts of the brain need it most at that time. When it
