Disorders of the Nervous Tissue01:28

Disorders of the Nervous Tissue

1.4K
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...

Organization of the Brain01:30

Organization of the Brain

915
The brain is an integral component of the nervous system and serves as the center for processing sensory inputs, making decisions, and directing bodily actions. This complex organ is organized into three primary sections: the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain, each responsible for a range of vital functions.
Hindbrain
The hindbrain, located at the base of the brain, plays a vital role in regulating automatic processes that sustain life. It includes the medulla oblongata, which is essential for...

Brain Imaging

274
Brain imaging technologies provide critical insights into both the structure and function of the human brain, enabling medical professionals and researchers to diagnose, study, and treat neurological disorders or psychiatric disorders more effectively.
These technologies include computerized axial tomography (CAT or CT scans), positron-emission tomography (PET scans),  magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),  functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and Transcranial Magnetic...

Role of Cerebellum and Prefrontal Cortex in Memory01:14

Role of Cerebellum and Prefrontal Cortex in Memory

536
The cerebellum, while traditionally associated with motor control, also plays a crucial role in memory, particularly in procedural memory, which involves learning motor tasks that become automatic through repetition. For example, studies have shown that when the cerebellum is damaged, individuals or animals lose the ability to learn conditioned motor responses, such as the conditioned eye-blink response in classical conditioning experiments with rabbits. This study demonstrates the...

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview01:26

Alzheimer's Disease: Overview

594
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a continually advancing neurodegenerative disorder, distinguished by escalating memory loss, cognitive dysfunction, and dementia. The disease unfolds in three stages: preclinical, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and dementia. Its onset is insidious, and the progression gradual, with the cause not well explained by other disorders.
The clinical diagnosis of AD hinges on the presence of memory and other cognitive impairments. Biomarkers, such as changes in Aβ...

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Virology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has been linked to a range of neurological symptoms in affected individuals.
    • Understanding the neurobiological underpinnings of these symptoms is crucial for effective patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the mechanisms by which SARS-CoV-2 may induce neurological dysfunction.
    • To investigate the potential for therapeutic interventions targeting coronavirus-induced neurological complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current scientific literature on coronavirus and neurological manifestations.
    • Analysis of emerging research data on viral entry into the central nervous system.
    • Examination of proposed pathophysiological pathways.

    Main Results:

    • Evidence suggests potential viral entry into the brain and subsequent neuroinflammation.
    • Direct viral effects and indirect immune-mediated responses are being investigated as causes of neurological symptoms.
    • Limited but growing data on the efficacy of certain treatments for neurological sequelae.

    Conclusions:

    • The link between coronavirus infection and neurological symptoms is increasingly recognized.
    • Further research is essential to elucidate the precise mechanisms and develop targeted treatments.
    • Addressing neurological complications is a key aspect of comprehensive coronavirus patient care.
