The process and mechanistic function of myelinogenesis has traditionally been studied using ultrastructure and biochemical techniques in rat optic nerves. The implementation of this method of study has long allowed for experimental observation of myelinogenesis in a model organism nerve that consists entirely of unmyelinated axons. Furthermore ...
Remyelination is the process of propagating oligodendrocyte precursor cells to form oligodendrocytes to create new myelin sheaths on demyelinated axons in the Central nervous system (CNS). This is a process naturally regulated in the body and tends to be very efficient in a healthy CNS. [ 1 ]
The process of generating myelin is called myelination or myelinogenesis. In the CNS, oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) differentiate into mature oligodendrocytes, which form myelin. In humans, myelination begins early in the 3rd trimester, [ 11 ] although only little myelin is present in either the CNS or the PNS at the time of birth.
Hans Berger, the inventor of the electroencephalogram, was the first to propose the idea that the brain is constantly busy.In a series of papers published in 1929, he showed that the electrical oscillations detected by his device do not cease even when the subject is at rest.
Setting a value for any of the cell or organelle attributes will make its diagram visible; Any number and combination of diagram attributes may be set; When multiple diagrams are activated, the title is suppressed {
A repair process, called remyelination, takes place in the early phases of the disease, but the oligodendrocytes are unable to completely rebuild the cell's myelin sheath. [90] Repeated attacks lead to successively less effective remyelinations, until a scar-like plaque is built up around the damaged axons. [ 90 ]
A cognitive model is a representation of one or more cognitive processes in humans or other animals for the purposes of comprehension and prediction. There are many types of cognitive models, and they can range from box-and-arrow diagrams to a set of equations to software programs that interact with the same tools that humans use to complete tasks (e.g., computer mouse and keyboard).
The PAD emotional state model is a psychological model developed by Albert Mehrabian and James A. Russell (1974 and after) to describe and measure emotional states.PAD uses three numerical dimensions, Pleasure, Arousal and Dominance to represent all emotions.
