Human Drug Screening For Memory

The Impact of Regular Ecstasy Use on Memory Function: Summary Neil G. Simon and Richard P. Mattick conducted this study in May 2001 with the aim of this study was to see if long-term use of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy or MDMA) impairs memory. Many studies have been completed before that are similar to this one, however the broad majority of them did not address confounding factors such as other drug use or intelligence levels of their participants. In this study they intended to account

Many articles and journals have been published about this drug receptor and preclinical data summarizes the efficacy of 5HT6 receptor antagonist in cognitive function. Growing number of patent in protecting 5HT6 chemical entities have been successfully endured phase I clinical studies and clinical phase II trials. It is likely that the combination of 5HT6 receptor antagonist and cholinesterase inhibitor have also been revealed after phase II studies. Then two of these antagonists have been taken

help of a drug called Prevagen, a person who suffers from memory loss could sharpen their memory and have a faster response time during casual conversation. With the help of Prevagen, many people who suffer from mild memory loss as a result of aging can help restore memory. Extensive research has been done on this ground breaking new drug such as the Madison Memory Study which tested the active ingredient Apoaequorin (10mg), to see if this improved the quantitively measures in cognitive memory in community

utilizing model organisms to study pathways involved in neurodegenerative diseases. One such model organism is the Caenorhabditis elegans nematode. The C. elegans roundworm has displayed usefulness as a template to study neurodegenerative diseases in humans, including Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. C. elegans has shown to be a useful model for the study of Alzheimer’s disease. Sydney Brenner first introduced the nematode as a model organism in 1963 (Brenner, 1974). The small, transparent

604301973 Pharmacotherapy Treatment of Alzheimer’s: Donepezil A disease that sweeps across the nation and affects nearly 80% of the population ages 60 and up is known as Alzheimer’s. A misconception that many people believe about Alzheimer’s is that it is a part of getting older. It is not true. Alzheimer’s is an intricate neurodegenerative disorder associated with “protein misfolding and aggregation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial abnormalities and neuroinflammatory process at a molecular level”

studies in human subjects have been increased. The human-neuroscience research is one of the most fundamental areas that studies the correlation between the human brain and the nervous system. The research studies in human neuroscience have been rapidly increased, and also most biological processes of the human brain have been identified. Accordingly, neurotherapies have been developed to analyze and stimulate the human brain for many purposes. Although, the rapid progression in the human- neuroscience

The use of animals to test medicines, cosmetics and new drugs has been a controversial debate for years. It is estimated that every year, the United States alone uses 26 million animals to test commercial products and medical treatments to determine the different toxicity rates of drugs that will potentially be used by humans (https://speakingofresearch.com/facts/statistics/). The use of animal testing has been proven time and time again to be ineffective and it also is a practice of animal cruelty;

a child based on the parents and in vivo testing. Eugenics is “increasing the number of genes in the human population responsible for improving intelligence, beauty, musical ability and other traits we value” (Munson, 2012 272-273) Eugenics is often confused to just be for consideration of the parents and the child. However, the definition of eugenics is reliant on the outcome for the entire human population. The two types of eugenics include positive and negative; positive eugenics is “The aim of

However, biochemists do not yet fully understand what each gene does and the goal of this experiment is to find the function of each gene within the worm. The connection between a worm's genotype and phenotype is important, because, believe it or not, human beings and worms share many of the same

membrane protein receptors which constitute more than 1% of the human genome (Xavier et al., 2007). GPCRs are widely expressed in human body and have an important role in various cell signaling events. Their functions are diverse in peripheral organs and brain, being such an important receptor in signaling has made it an attractive target for various disease pathology. Therefore, obtaining ligands of novel scaffolds by high through put screening on certain receptor families of GPCRs could be a viable strategy
