Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), when cognitive symptoms appear within a year of movement problems, is a complex and challenging neurodegenerative disorder. (Pervin, Edwards & Lippa, 2016). It is complex because the DLB pathology and its impact on certain brain regions are unclear. The pathology includes Lewy bodies, senile plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. It is challenging because its many core features make it difficult for individuals to perform activities of daily living. The core clinical

Introduction Visual impairment is a common and debilitating symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS). Acute optic neuritis (AON) occurs in over 50% of patients and subclinical optic nerve injury is frequent even in the absence of optic neuritis (Arnold, 2005). Double vision and oscillopsia from efferent disorders may also significantly impact vision-related quality of life. Despite the prevalence of visual deficits, it has only been over the last decade that MS clinical trials have begun to regularly

areas: 1. Sensory areas: receive and process nerve impulses from the senses 2. Motor areas: send impulses to muscles, especially for voluntary muscular movement 3. Association areas: interpret information from the senses and are concerned with intellectual and emotional processes The cerebrum is made up of left and right hemispheres, cerebral hemispheres, that can be further subdivided into 4 lobes: the frontal lobe, the temporal lobe, the occipital lobe and the parietal lobe. The non-limbic portion

Alzheimer’s Disease Zaven A. Ohanian San Joaquin Valley College Abstract This research report will provide a general overview of Alzheimer’s disease. This overview will include background and history of the disease dating back to its discovery by Alois Alzheimer in Germany. It will provide in-depth information on the anatomy and pathophysiology of the disease, specifically on the roles of beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles and on how they progress; what happens as they progress

occur with aging. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is an intermediate stage between the expected cognitive decline of normal aging and the more serious decline of dementia. It can involve problems with memory, language, thinking and judgment that are greater than normal age-related changes. If you have mild cognitive impairment, you may be aware that your memory or mental function has "slipped." Your family and close friends also may notice a change. But generally these changes aren't severe enough to

intelligence, personality, sense of smell, sense of touch, sensory impulse interpretations, organization and planning. The diencephalon is located in between the cerebral hemispheres and is greater than the midbrain. It is composed of the thalamus and hypothalamus structures. The thalamus acts as a relay point for nerve impulses that are inbound from around the body that are then dispatched to the appropriate area of the brain for processing. The hypothalamus controls hormone secretions produced from the

with eye glasses or contact lenses. Another treatment option for Myopia is surgery. The underlying cause is believed to be a combination of genetiv and environmental factors. Risk factors include doing work that involves focusing on close objects, greater time spent indoors, and a family history or the condition. The underlying Mechanism involves the length of the eyeball being too long or less commonly the lens being too strong. It is a type of Refractive Error. Hyperopia, also known as Farsightedness

The action of typing this assignment involves almost all the body systems: the endocrine system, the cardiovascular system, the nervous system (brain, nerves, and spinal cord), the integumentary system, the respiratory system, lymphatic system, digestive system, urinary system, immune system, and the muscular system. The nervous system and the muscular system work together to perform the action, while all the other systems provide the necessary support such as the energy required, the oxygen required

1 - The Prototypical Neuron The neuron, also known as the nerve cell, is distinguished by several components: the soma, the axon, and the dendrites. The soma, or more commonly known as the cell body, is the semi-spherical central part of the neuron. In a typical neuron, it is about 20 um in diameter – and contains the same organelles that are found in all animal cells; a nucleolus, rough endoplasmic reticulum, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and mitochondria. With all of its inner
