The CNS is a connection of nerves which executes control over the mind and most of the body functions. It is made up of two parts which are the brain and a spinal cord. The brain forms the core of our thoughts by interpreting what lies within our external environment. Majority of the movements made by the body originate from the brain. It coordinates those movements and ensures that they are well executed to enable human beings to carry out their daily duties. Information which originates from body organs like the eyes, nose and the ears is interpreted by Continue reading...

The Central Nervous System is the control system of the human body; it is the core of the human nervous system. The Central Nervous system is made up of the spinal cord and the brain. The brain uses the electrical signal, which is generated by the Central Nervous System. These electrical signals travel via the Peripheral Nervous System effector cells. These effector cells carry out physiological responses whenever the brain demands it. Axonal regeneration occurs successfully in the Peripheral Nervous System. However, regenerative axonal growth starts occurring in the Central Nervous System too, but stops two weeks after the Continue reading...

One of the mechanisms that have been employed is that of identifying the prospective donor cells. Some of these donor cells may include neural stem cells, embryonic stem cells and the bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs). This is very important in that the life of a Continue reading...

Infant Behavior and Development

INFANT BEHAVIOR AND DEVELOPMENT
Infants have a tendency to prefer one care provider to another under distress. For instance, if the mother is the primary caregiver, the infant feels more attached to her than it feels to its father. The primary caregiver refers to the parent with whom the child spends most of its time with.
When a child is in pursuit of closeness or physical contact for that matter, they prefer the individual who is more likely to be responsible for them when they are sick or when hurt. When separated from their caretakers babies appear to be Continue reading...

In this context, most studies have always looked at factors that influence aggressive behavior. There has been a void in how Continue reading...

The nervous system can be divided into two groups: the central nervous system (CNS), which comprises of the brain the spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which consists of the nerves. Nervous tissue consists of two types of cells: the nerve cells and supporting glial cells (or simply glia). Glia have different types and outnumber nerve cells. In the CNS, astrocytes provide structural support for neurons, regulate the extracellular concentrations of neurotransmitters and ions, and facilitate information transfer at synapses. Radial glia is critical in the development of the nervous system. Both astrocytes and radial glia can Continue reading...

In humans and animals, sleep and rhythmic vivacity replace each other. However, to understand the extent, to which sleep is necessary for the functioning of the body, it is necessary to consider the fact that total sleep deprivation of people and animals carries much heavier consequences than starvation.
What is sleep? How it arises and why there is such a big need for it? Many scientists tried to answer this question. French researchers Legendre and Pieron in 1910 conducted experiments, from which they concluded: the cause of sleep - accumulation in the blood during the day of hypnotoxin or Continue reading...

A television documentary by PBS called “Inside the Teenage Brain” describes teenage behavior from the neurosciences point of view. The main theme revolves around the observation that teenagers are not yet adults but not quite children, and the state of their developing brain determines part of their behavior. Through state-of-art imaging techniques, the documentary shows how researchers study the teenager brain. Adolescence is proposed as a phase in normal child development. Scientists compare the teenage brain to that of babies, because both periods involve fast brain developing, especially in the Prefrontal Cortex (PFC). During this time, gray matter thickens Continue reading...

Blood Pressure, Hypertension and the Nervous System

Cardiovascular activities within the human body are generally facilitated by the regulation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic afferent and efferent nerve fibers. Blood pressure is the relationship between the vascular resistance and the amount of blood that the heart pumps per minute (i.e. cardiac output). Cardiac output is affected by the following factors: end-diastolic volume, cardiac muscle contraction, and heart rate. While the sympathetic nervous system controls the blood volume and the tone of venous smooth muscle (determinants of end-diastolic volume) alone, the myocardial contraction and heart rate is controlled by both sympathetic and parasympathetic regions of the autonomic Continue reading...

The nervous system of a human being is categorized into two major parts, the first one being the peripheral nervous system, which comprises the autonomic nervous system, the somatic nervous system and the cranial and peripheral nervous system. The second major part is the central nervous system which made up of the brain and the spinal cord.
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays the fundamental role of controlling the spontaneous or involuntary body functions. Such functions Continue reading...

Psychoneuroimmunology works on the bases of nervous system and its connection with immune system. Placebo effects work on the similar concept of inducing the effect on the nervous system. It stimulates the immune system to counteract the disease. The difference between both modalities is that in PNI, the use of pharmacology, medicine, psychiatry is used to derive a specific outcome from the patient. In case of placebo, there is no outcome. It has no effect on the condition. It acts by misdirecting the nervous system and immune system. So, in a way, both modes of treatment have a certain Continue reading...
