The present study was 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.

difficulty with speech and understanding, problems writing, reading and doing simple calculations, difficulty finding your way around, numbness or weakness on one side of the body. • Temporal lobe – difficulties with speech or problems with memory. • Occipital lobe – problems with sight or losing part of your vision. • Cerebellum – lack of coordination, double vision or blurred vision, unsteadiness or problems with speech. • Brain stem – dizziness, unsteady and uncoordinated walking, facial weakness

Hypertension is defined as persistent increase of blood pressure in human body. A pregnant women is considered high blood pressure when the systolic reading is greater than 140 mmHg and diastolic reading greater than 90 mmHg. High blood pressure in pregnancy is also known as ‘gestational hypertension’. Gestational hypertension could lead to development of a condition called preeclampsia. Initially, gestational hypertension is a new onset of high blood pressure after the 20th weeks of pregnancy without

sit down and write out their goals and the reasons they hate smoking so that way when their biological brain wants to smoke this can help them fight ambivalence. Some people have a greater urge to smoke after watching another person smoke cigarettes or even seeing a pack of cigarettes. If one person experiences greater sensitivity to environmental cues then it will be particularly harder for that person. You may relapse very

ED) following the sudden onset of a very severe pain in back of the head. Following an emergency call to the Out of Hours Doctor by the lady’s niece, a 999 ambulance was requested. She was admitted with symptoms of severe sudden onset of frontal/occipital headache which radiated to the neck, acute rotational vertigo, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, weakness and paraesthesia in all four limbs, photophobia, blurred vision and vomiting. Past medical records indicated that the patient is prone

Epilepsy Epilepsy is a condition characterized by recurrent seizures which are unprovoked by any immediately identifiable cause (Hopkins & Shorvon, 1995). It is also known as a seizure disorder. A wide range of links and risk factors are associated with the condition, but most of the time the cause is unknown. Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, affecting approximately two and half million people in the US and about 50 million worldwide. Though seizures can occur at

Space is 92 billion light years in diameter and ever growing. Despite it’s size, there is more knowledge about this massive area, miles outside the atmosphere, than there is about the cluster of tissue and nerves that is called the brain. With the immensely complex structure of the human brain, it is not surprising that from conception to old age many things can become faulty or even just fail to develop correctly in the first place. Separating the brain into the three main parts gives a much

Using Chimeric Faces to Understand the Lateralisation of Emotion Report by: Tin-Kai Yeh Student ID: 4414697 Lab 130 (Demonstrator: Victoria Alogna) 30th April, 2015 Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate which hemisphere is specialised for the perception of emotion. It was hypothesised that participants will judge chimeric faces with smile presented in the left visual field as happier more often than chimeric faces with the smile presented in the right visual
