Finding a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)-also known as Lou Gehrig's disease-has been a frustrating and elusive quest. Even after decades of research, the biological roots of ALS are only partially understood. Now a new form of treatment offers fresh hope.

Trophos, a company based in Marseilles, France, has discovered a drug compound that appears to protect neurons from the effects of ALS, a rapidly debilitating degeneration of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. These effects lead to muscle atrophy and, ultimately, complete loss of motor control. The company's researchers have found that a compound named olesoxime promotes survival and regeneration of neurons deprived of neurotrophic factors-proteins essential for maintaining healthy neurons. This deprivation is similar to what occurs in the neurons of ALS patients.

It allows the electrical impulse to travel through it much more quickly

Coccygeal. These nerves enter through the coccyx or tailbone.

The thalamus.

Neurotransmitters that cause a chemical change and hence generat impulse in the dendrites of adjacent neurons. most common neurotransmitter is acetylcholine

Neurons in the cerebral cortex (cerebrum) work together, receiving electrochemical signals, "processing" them, and propagating them in vast networks of other neurons to provide the following functions:

- frontal lobe - thinking, higher cognitive processes

- motor cortex (in frontal lobe) - movement

- Broca's area (in frontal lobe) - speech

- parietal lobe - sensation

- Wernicke's area (in temporal-parietal junction) - speech comprehension

- temporal lobe (in combination with hippocampus) - learning and memory

- occipital lobe - vision

Both sensory and motor neurons......

Yes.

During decision-making, information is processed to choose between two or more alternatives. This involves the interaction of excitatory and inhibitory neurons. This process also involves excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters. The post-synaptic action potential is determined by the sum of all signals.

Membrane receptors at a synapse are ligand-gated ion channels that open and allow sodium ions to flow into the neuron upon binding of the neurotransmitter ligand to generate an action potential in the neuron.

Your third molars, or wisdom teeth as they are often called, are supplied by the inferior alveolar nerve (lower thirds) and the posterior superior alveolar nerve (upper thirds), which are branches of the Trigeminal (5th cranial) nerve.

Excitatory signals, such as neurotransmitters like glutamate, can stimulate a neuron to transmit an electrical impulse. Inhibitory signals, like neurotransmitters GABA, can prevent a neuron from transmitting by hyperpolarizing the cell membrane and decreasing the likelihood of an action potential.

Yes, dendrites are the branching structures of a neuron that receive incoming signals from other neurons and transmit them to the cell body. They play a crucial role in integrating and processing information within the brain.

I dont know the percentage but

the 3 types of it are

Sensory nerves

Motor nerves

Mixed nerves

It depends on what the sign is before your number. A positive sign in front of the number indicates that the inside of the cell is more positive when compared to the outside; a negative sign in front of the number indicates that the cell is more negative compared to the outside.

The resting potential of a neuron is always negative when compared to the outside of the neuron, and usually lies around -90mV. For different cells in the body, the resting potential may vary but it will always be negative :)!

There are three ways to end chemical signaling across a synapse. In some cases, the neurotransmitter molecules simply diffuse away from the synapse. In others, enzymes located in the synaptic gap deactivate the neurotransmitters. Finally, neurotransmitters are taken up by the releasing neuron in a process known as reuptake.

It blocks the voltage-gated Na+ channels.

The nerves and vien that are under the skin or the ear cartilage are visable using a transdermal illuminator (medical flashlight). The viens are suspended in a layer of tissue below the skin level but not into the actual cartilage. The viens are actually return paths for the used blood, the fresh blood is held within the skin covering the cartilage and then slowly returned to the body by the viens you can see with the aid of a flash light. If you are considering piercing yourself, don't this is an area of the body where infection and perminant damage can be done by novice "wanna be" body piercers or DIYs. Leave the piercing to an experianced professional body piercer who doesn't need to ask the internet for help....

pancreas produce pancreatic juice which helps in the digestion of the food and they also produce hormones i.e insulin and glucagon which balances the sugar level of blood.
