Introduction to Developmental Psychology

1.7K
Developmental psychology explores the changes and continuities in human abilities throughout life, encompassing physical, cognitive, linguistic, and social dimensions. Human development is not restricted to growth, but includes aspects of decline, particularly in physical abilities as individuals age. Developmental psychologists seek to understand how people change as they age and how their mental and social skills evolve.Developmental MilestonesA key concept in developmental psychology is...

Three Developmental Domains01:29

Three Developmental Domains

1.2K
Human development is typically examined across three main domains: physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional. These domains represent the significant areas of change and continuity throughout the lifespan, from infancy to late adulthood.
Physical Development
Physical processes, also known as maturation, encompass the biological changes that occur across an individual's life. These changes begin with genetic inheritance and continue through various stages, including growth in height and weight,...

Ovarian Cycle01:27

Ovarian Cycle

4.2K
The menstrual cycle includes a critical component known as the ovarian cycle, which undergoes two main phases each month—the follicular phase and the luteal phase. The follicular phase is variable and averaging around 14 days. Ovulation, triggered by a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), marks the transition between the two phases. The second phase, the luteal phase, is relatively consistent, lasting approximately 14 days, and is marked by the activity of the corpus luteum. While a cycle...

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle01:30

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle

7.0K
The ovarian cycle is meticulously regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. This cycle orchestrates the release of a mature oocyte, essential for reproduction.
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle.  At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...

Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Rate-Programmed II01:19

Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Rate-Programmed II

1
Rate-programmed drug delivery systems release drugs in a controlled manner to maintain therapeutic levels. Three main designs include reservoir, matrix, and hybrid systems.Reservoir systems consist of a drug core enclosed within a membrane that controls drug release. In non-swelling reservoir systems, polymers like ethyl cellulose or polymethacrylates are used. These do not hydrate in aqueous media and control release through membrane thickness, porosity, or insolubility. This type includes...

Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Rate-Programmed I01:22

Modified-Release Drug Delivery Systems: Rate-Programmed I

1
Rate-programmed drug delivery systems (DDS) are designed to release drugs at specific, controlled rates to maintain consistent therapeutic levels. These systems are categorized based on their release mechanisms, including dissolution-controlled DDS, diffusion-controlled DDS, and combined dissolution-diffusion-controlled DDS.In dissolution-controlled DDS, the release rate depends on the slow dissolution of the drug itself or the surrounding matrix. Drugs with inherently slow dissolution rates,...

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive biology
  • Developmental toxicology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Ovarian pathologies often lack clear pathophysiological mechanisms.
  • Genetic factors are known, but developmental insults are increasingly recognized as contributors.
  • Early life exposures (nutrition, stress, chemicals) can impact ovarian development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review ovarian development, function, and pathologies.
  • To examine how developmental insults affect ovarian differentiation checkpoints.
  • To explore mediating factors and epigenetic mechanisms for future treatment development.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of ovarian development and pathology.
  • Analysis of developmental insults and their impact on ovarian differentiation.
  • Examination of steroidal and metabolic mediators.
  • Review of epigenetic mechanisms involved.

Main Results:

  • Developmental insults can disrupt critical ovarian differentiation checkpoints.
  • Steroidal and metabolic factors act as key mediators.
  • Epigenetic mechanisms are involved in transmitting insult effects.
  • Significant knowledge gaps exist for targeted therapies.

Conclusions:

  • Early life environmental and nutritional insults are significant risk factors for ovarian pathologies.
  • Understanding mediating factors and epigenetic pathways is crucial.
  • Further research is needed to develop targeted treatments for ovarian diseases.
