Neurophysiology

To become an occupational therapist, you typically need a master's degree in occupational therapy, which takes about 2-3 years to complete after obtaining a bachelor's degree. Additionally, you may need to complete fieldwork requirements and pass a national certification exam to become licensed to practice as an occupational therapist.

A common mistake in a clinical trial is failure to carefully examine the literature for similar, prior research. Also failure to critically assess the prior literature. Another mistake is failure to specify the inclusion and exclusion criteria for your subjects.

The Basal ganglia are the group of Nuclei in the brains of vertebrates. These are located at the base of your fore brain. Basal Ganglia are also connected strongly with thalamas, the cerebral cortex, and other such areas.

I have been recently diagnosed with CIDP. I have refused flu shots for the past 10 years because when I would get them I would get sick from the shot then violently ill from the flu later on. I would advise anyone who gets very ill from flu shots be checked by a neurologist for CIDP, indications of neural slowing can be found with an EMG.

Brain death is the irreversible loss of all brain function, including the brain stem, resulting in the cessation of all neurological activity, whereas cardiac death is the irreversible stoppage of the heart, leading to the cessation of circulation and oxygen delivery to vital organs. Brain death is considered the legal and medical standard for determining death in many countries, while cardiac death is when the heart stops beating and cannot be restarted.

Systemic response is a medical term which means that your whole body is responding to a physical crisis or trauma or exacerbation of certain diseases (especially inflammatory and autoimmune diseases). There is a medical condition known as systemic inflammatory response syndrome, in which the body reacts to trauma or certain surgical procedures, but no medical term "officially" known just as systemic response syndrome.

Denervation hypersensitivity occurs in multiple sclerosis. In multiple sclerosis demyelination of oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system result in disruption of communication between upper motor neurons in the brain and the lower motor neurons in the gray matter of the spinal cord. The end result is denervation hypersensitivity with physical symptoms of increased muscle tone, difficulty controlling muscles, exaggerated reflexes, and muscle spasms.

I believe varicosity in the context of your question refers to the enlarged and tortuous vein, artery, or lymphatic vessel in the area of the synapse. Therefore in the aplysia synaptic junctions between the sensory and motor neurons experience long term facilition in response to 5-HT and long term depression in response to RMRFamide. Research has shown macromolecules synthesis is needed for expression of the long lasting structural changes in the sensory cells and that this synthesis is porportional with long term functional modulation of sensorimotor synapses.

The term commonly used to describe someone who is sexually attracted to the same gender but romantically attracted to the opposite gender is "heteroromantic homosexual."

When you are thinking, neurons in your brain are firing; they are caused to fire by inputs from the firing of other connected neurons, and the outputs of their firing causes other connected neurons to fire. However, since neurons have MANY MANY connections to many other neurons, any particular neuron is not SIMPLY or absolutely caused to fire just because one connected neuron fires, nor does its firing absolutely cause every neuron it connects to to fire; rather, neurons remember (through physical changes at synapses) which inputs have in combination been strong enough to cause them to fire, making them more sensitive and therefore likely to fire from a variety of similar inputs. Thus thinking is a neuro-chemical memory process, in which memories lead to memories by associations from within and without, and evoke ideas & concepts through novel combinations.

Supposedly (at least the neuroscientific researches point this way, so this is very probable) it is located in the cingulate cortex. It is the medial part of the cerebral cortex.

When aware operation and conscious decisions are made, the electrical charge goes trough change in this area.

Some research indicates that schizophrenia is also connected with the change in the structure of this part of the brain.

Karl Lashley proposed the principle of equipotentiality, suggesting that all parts of the brain are equally capable of taking over the functions of damaged areas. This idea challenges the notion of localized brain function and emphasizes the brain's capacity for flexibility and reorganization in response to injury. Lashley's work laid the foundation for our understanding of neural plasticity and the brain's ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

Yes. The discipline is called electroconvulsive therapy, and (under proper medical supervision) can be used to treat mental disorders such as major depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. The layman's term for it is electroshock therapy, but many practitioners avoid that term, considering it somewhat derogatory.

On average, women have smaller brain-to-body weight ratios compared to men. However, individual variations exist, and factors such as body composition, genetics, and overall health can influence this ratio.

The sarcolemma is the cell membrane of a muscle fiber. It surrounds and protects the muscle fiber and controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell. The sarcolemma plays a crucial role in muscle contraction and the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscle fiber.

Head injuries can cause seizures due to the disruption or damage to the brain's normal electrical activity. The primary reason for seizures occurring with head injuries is the disturbance in the balance of chemicals and electrical signals in the brain, resulting in abnormal electrical discharges that trigger seizures. Additionally, bleeding or swelling in the brain, as well as scar tissue formation, can also contribute to the development of seizures after a head injury.

In simplest terms, the five stages of action potential are...

A. Action Potential

B. Depolarization

C. Recovery Phase

D. Refractory Period

E. Hyper-polarization

In myelinated axons, the voltage gated sodium ions are located along the nodes of Ranvier, the exposed places between the myelin segments. The gates here, however, are not particularly more concentrated than on other un-myelinated axons.

The effect upon the target neuron is determined not by the source neuron or by the neurotransmitter, but by the type of receptor that is activated. A neurotransmitter can be thought of as a key, and a receptor as a lock: the same type of key can here be used to open many different types of locks. Receptors can be classified broadly as excitatory(causing an increase in firing rate),inhibitory(causing a decrease in firing rate), or modulatory(causing long-lasting effects not directly related to firing rate).

A neuron is called a inter-neuron because that specific neuron takes impulse from one neuron to a next neuron. For example your sensory neuron sends a impulse that you had felt a hot object. It goes through the spine to a inter-neuron to a motor neuron (this processes is called a reflex). Then the motor neuron tells your muscles in your hand to move

1. The neuron fires an action potential, sending the electrical signal down the axon.
