Across species, animals spend a substantial minority of their lives sleeping. In fact, humans spend on average approximately one-third of their lives asleep (Colten and Altevogt, 2006). With such devotion of time resources and the his tells us, from an evolutionary standpoint, that sleep is an important part of the success of an animal.

nervous system with a cerebral ganglia connected to two nerve cords interlocked by transversal nerves that extend throughout its body. Chemically, planarians produce serotonin, dopamine, Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and have acetylchlorine (ACH) receptors and Glutamate Carboxypetidase II (GCII) inhibitors in their nervous system (12, 18, 19). Photo receptive ocelli with a negative phototaxis serve for visual aids, and explain the reason for their regression from light. While no respiratory, circulatory

unreasonable and irrational.

Case Study This is a case of a 78-year-old female (Betty Williams) who was admitted into a long-term care facility one year ago. Betty has mild-stage Alzheimer’s disease, exhibiting typical symptoms such as moderate short-term memory loss and time disorientation. Memory loss, especially of recent events, is the earliest and most prominent manifestation of AD (Gitto et al., 2001). Other early symptoms a patient with AD could exhibit includes loss of language ability (e.g., difficulty with word choice)
