and prevent cholinergic transmission from the vestibular nuclei in the ear from reaching the vomiting centre in the brain. For this reason, they are mainly used to treat motion and travel sickness and can be used in patch form (Heaton T, 2014). Scopolamine (Scopace/Hyoscine), which this patient had previously been taking for her travel sickness, is in this class of drugs.

EXPLAIN TWO EFFECTS OF THE ENVIRONMENT ON PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESSES: Certain effect of the environment can affect physiological processes such as hormones, neurotransmitters and the brain. The two effect of the environment on physiological processes that will be discussed are the enrichment of certain environments on brain plasticity and the observation of experiences actions on the activation of mirror neurons. The first effect of environment on physiological processes that will be discussed is

Whether scientists are those to blame for not developing the right medication needs to be carefully examined. There are many reasons behind mental health problems and this essay considers the effectiveness of depression treatments and looks at the complexity of some mental problems that cannot be solved by one “magic pill”

Plasma leptin concentration has been increased due to high tail fat diet. Leptin is secreted by adipocytes that is implicated in nutrition and cognition (Morrison 2009). Hyperleptinemia is induced by obesity and aging which is associated with dysregulation in leptin signaling; moreover, leptin signaling is affected by diet manipulation. Low affinity leptin to its receptor (Ob-Rb) and inability of upregulation Ob-Rb proportional to leptin concentration was developed by high fat diet (Mitchell et al
