In this study, one of the most common prescribed SSRIs, FLX will be utilized. SSRIs block the reuptake of 5-HT thereby increasing the extracellular concentration of 5-HT in the synaptic cleft available thereby altering normal synaptic and neural function. Due to the fact that monoamines and monoamine metabolism is essential and obligatory for normal neural development this proposal will focus on how FLX affect neural development using the following approaches. Clutches of embryos will be staged

other neurotrophins, play a major role in development by assisting with the migration, proliferation, and differentiation of growing cells (Dwivedi, 2009). While in the adult brain, neurotrophins have been implicated in neuronal maintenance and neurogenesis (Dwivedi, 2009). BDNF in particular has been shown to be involved in synaptic plasticity, learning and memory, and in promoting the survival of serotonergic neurons (Allen and Dawbarn, 2006). Altered synaptic plasticity has been shown to correlate

LEHMAN COLLEGE BIO 320: NEURAL DEVELOPMENT December 22nd, 2015 ABDUL BAIS AHMED Problem: Role of Retinoic acid in central nervous development Olfactory neurons are chemosensory neurons whose role is fulfilled by maintaining direct contact with the outside environment, which sometimes expose them to harm. As a result, there is the need to have a source of progenitor to replenish the damaged cells. It’s widely known that olfactory epithelium (OE) regenerates and replaces damaged olfactory neurons

Ever wondered why you were at a family gathering and all of your family were telling stories of childhood memories and you were the only on with the constipated face because you had no idea of what they were talking about? Well you might be one of few who may have infantile amnesia. In the late 19th Century, Sigmund Freud described the phenomenon in which people are unable to recall events from early childhood as infantile amnesia. Infantile amnesia or sometimes called childhood amnesia can be defined

methods like zinc finger nuclease and quantitative PCR, they were able to find reliable evidence that: rest in zebrafish does have an influencing affect on neural-specific gene expression but it fails to have many significant effects on zebrafish neurogenesis. First of all, lets look at why exactly scientists choose to work on zebrafish. Zebrafish was chosen by George Streisinger who was looking for a vertebrae model system to do work on genetics. It would appear that zebrasfish have some qualities

Introduction For centuries exercise has been a part of the lives of men. Whether through carrying a freshly hunted boar through the forest or riding a bicycle to work, exercise plays a huge role in a vast amount of areas. As man learned more about the body and how everything functioned, he uncovered how many factors play a role in health, including mental health. Doctors normally recommend daily exercise. However, there are other sides of the argument. One can become addicted to exercise. The

central nervous system (CNS), Pten mutation can cause hypertrophy and ectopic ramification of dendrites, macrocephaly and increase of anormal synapses. Along with these morphological anomalies, alterations in memory processes, synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis are also observed. Accordingly, there are several diseases associated to Pten mutations, including autism spectrum disorders. On the other hand, physical exercise when practiced during pregnancy can provide beneficial effects to the offspring,

like we don’t matter. According to study.com norepinephrine causes an increase in the amount of oxygen going to our brain which allows us to think better and faster. Also our heart rate increases making our muscles work faster. According to the neurogenesis website norepinephrine is found in the symphathic nervous system. Another common name for norepinephrine is noradrenaline. According to the book the symphathic nervous system is an autonomic nervous system subdivision that will arouse you, make

Aerobic exercise has been studied and through those studies researchers have found that aerobic exercise improves the cognitive abilities of young adults. Some of the cognitive abilities improved are learning, memory, and decision making. Through aerobic exercise these cognitive abilities are improved and sharpened. Aerobic exercise stimulates the hippocampus which is the area responsible for memory and partly for learning. Another part aerobic exercise stimulates is the frontal cortex which is the

to be smaller in patients experiencing depression or anxiety. Successful treatment of depression indicates that new neurons are generated (neurogenesis) in the hippocampus in the process. Animal studies can often provide meaningful data despite not always transferring into human trials. A 2013 animal model examined the potential role of hippocampal neurogenesis in the anxiolytic effect of CBD in chronically stressed mice; the study’s findings supports the notion that recurring CBD administration may
