Disorders of the Nervous Tissue01:28

Disorders of the Nervous Tissue

3.1K
Nervous tissue is a vital component of the human body's communication system, enabling us to perceive and respond to stimuli. However, like all other tissues, it is vulnerable to disorders and diseases that can significantly impact our neurological functioning.
Homeostatic Imbalances:
Alzheimer's disease manifests as a gradual decline in memory and cognitive abilities, attributed to the buildup of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain.
Parkinson's disease arises from the...

Neural Regulation01:37

Neural Regulation

44.9K
Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

Parkinson's Disease: Overview

2.4K
Neurodegenerative disorders are progressive diseases that cause irreversible damage and loss to neurons in specific brain areas. Examples of these disorders include Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). These disorders share characteristics such as proteinopathies, selective neuronal vulnerability, and a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The primary therapeutic goal for these conditions is...

Arboviral Encephalitis01:25

Arboviral Encephalitis

30
Arboviral encephalitis refers to brain inflammation caused by arthropod-borne viruses, particularly those transmitted through mosquito vectors. Among these, West Nile virus (WNV), a member of the Flaviviridae family, is a significant public health concern. WNV is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus. Human infection typically begins when an infected mosquito introduces the virus into the dermis during feeding. The primary transmission cycle involves birds as amplifying hosts...

Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview01:24

Epilepsy and Seizures: Overview

1.7K
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disease marked by recurrent, unpredictable seizures. These seizures are caused by abnormal electrical discharges in the brain, leading to behavior, sensation, or consciousness alterations. They can also cause transient impairment of awareness, interfering with daily activities.
Various factors can trigger epilepsy, including genetic factors, brain damage, metabolic causes, and unknown etiology. Diagnosis of epilepsy involves electroencephalography (EEG), which...

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle01:28

Disorders of the Skeletal Muscle

2.3K
The clinical conditions affecting the skeletal muscle tissue are broadly categorized as musculoskeletal and neuromuscular disorders.
Musculoskeletal disorders
Musculoskeletal disorders involve injuries and conditions affecting the skeletal muscles and associated connective tissues. These disorders can arise from acute biomechanical stresses or chronic overuse and can occur across different age groups. Common injuries include sprains, fractures, and muscular strains, often resulting from...

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Neurology
  • Equine Pathology

Background:

  • Neurologic diseases are a significant concern in equine health.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on understanding central nervous system (CNS) lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a guide for the gross examination of equine brains and spinal cords.
  • To correlate specific lesions with their neuroanatomic locations.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic gross examination of equine brains and spinal cords.
  • Documentation of observed lesions and their precise locations.

Main Results:

  • Identification of common gross lesions in equine CNS.
  • Mapping of lesion locations to specific neuroanatomic structures.
  • Correlation of findings with known equine neurologic diseases.

Conclusions:

  • Gross examination is crucial for initial diagnosis of equine neurologic conditions.
  • Understanding neuroanatomy aids in lesion localization and disease identification.
