Cerebellum

Humans, due to a highly developed cerebellum, have an unparalleled sense of balance that is specially adapted to bipedalism. MRI scans of all members of the Ulas family showed that the individuals with Uner Tan Syndrome had grossly underdeveloped cerebellar vermis, which is responsible for

MRI can also provide images of the cerebellum and determine whether it extends into the spinal canal. An MRI is often used to diagnose Chiari malformation. Since this pain less test is harmless, it can be done more than once, and explain progress with treatments [10]. Computerized Tomography

Retinal Tumorigenesis in von Hippel Lindau Disease – A Review ABSTRACT Highly vascularized tumors in the retina, cerebellum, and spinal cord are a hallmark of von Hippel Lindau (VHL) disease. Tumors in the central nervous system and spinal cord have been recognized as clear cell tumors with abundant reactive vascularization, most frequently referred to as “hemangioblastomas”; in contrast, retinal tumors are considered tumors of vascular origin, referred to as “hemangiomas.” We here demonstrate

established to show revealed the presence of neurochemical and histopathological changes in the cerebellum of rat model of Parkinson’s disease induced by the intrastriatal injection of rotenone. This may change the strategy of the disease treatment that depends mainly on the restoration of dopamine levels in the basal ganglia. The present findings showed the development of hyperexcitability in the cerebellum of rat model of PD induced by intrastriatal injection of rotenone. This was indicated from the

hindbrain. “The hindbrain includes the upper part of the spinal cord, the brain stem, and a wrinkled ball of tissue called the cerebellum (1). The hindbrain controls the body’s vital functions such as respiration and heart rate. The cerebellum coordinates movement and is involved in learned rote movements. When you play the piano or hit a tennis ball you are activating the cerebellum. The uppermost part of the brainstem is the midbrain, which controls some reflex actions and is part of the circuit involved

Alcohol is consumed around the world for numerous reasons. Alcohol Use Disorder is a problematic pattern of alcohol use leading to clinically significant impairment or distress (APA, 2013). In this paper, I will discuss the pathophysiology of alcohol abuse and addiction as well as the effect on human behavior and the contribution to clinical psychology. Alcohol can affect the nervous system from the immediate experience which is linked to behavioral changes. Initial alcohol consumption can impair

characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia, caused by a mutation in the ATM (Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated) gene which plays a crucial role in DNA repair. According to Delgado in 2015, cerebellar ataxia occurs when the cerebellum becomes inflamed or damaged. The cerebellum is the area of the brain responsible for controlling gait and muscle coordination, thus AT disease symptoms show a loss of control of muscle coordination (Delgado, 2015). It can also be characterized by telangiectasia; this

An individual thought to have ADHD will possess a series of symptoms contributing to this a later diagnosis. One of the most recognizable symptoms of ADHD is hyperactivity. Hyperactivity can be described as the abnormal behavior that is disruptive to others. Another common symptom of ADHD, which is in the disorder’s name, is attention deficit. This symptom describes the individual’s difficulty with trying to focus on one item at a time, meaning that their minds will wonder from one thing to another

Neurobiological Perspectives on Autism Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder characterized by restricted, repetitive, and stereotyped patterns of behavior, along with severe impairments in reciprocal social interaction, verbal and non-verbal communication, and cognitive development (1,2,3). If the brain is responsible for behavior then it should follow that disordered autistic behaviors should be explainable in terms of brain abnormalities and disordered neurobiological processes. While

motor movement. They both need an abundance of repetitive practice to work and make the brain and body as efficient as possible. The brain uses so many parts of itself to implement and save movement patterns like the primary motor cortex, the cerebellum, and the basal ganglia. These skills are so well retained by the brain and body they are practically permanent without significant retraining or detraining. Gaining skills in sports and exercising improves human life by keeping the brain and body
