Toxic encephalopathy is a neurologic disorder caused by exposure to neurotoxic organic solvents such as toluene, following exposure to heavy metals such as manganese, as a side effect of melarsoprol treatment for African trypanosomiasis, adverse effects to prescription drugs, or exposure to extreme concentrations of any natural toxin such as cyanotoxins found in shellfish or freshwater ...
Substance P and the NK1-receptor are widely distributed in the brain and are found in brain regions that are specific to regulating emotion (hypothalamus, amygdala, and the periaqueductal gray). [12] They are found in close association with serotonin (5-HT) and neurons containing norepinephrine that are targeted by the currently used ...
Aβ was found manipulating the level of nicotine in the brain along with the MAP kinase, another signaling receptor, to cause cell death. Another chemical in the brain that Aβ regulates is JNK; this chemical halts the extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK) pathway, which normally functions as memory control in the brain. As a result ...
Amygdala (in red) brain structures linked to anxiety disorders. The pathophysiology of GAD is an active and ongoing area of research often involving the intersection of genetics and neurological structures. [8] Generalized anxiety disorder has been linked to changes in functional connectivity of the amygdala and its processing of fear and ...
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in multiple complex biological processes including aggression, pain, sleep, appetite, anxiety, depression, migraine, and vomiting. [10] In humans the effects of excess serotonin were first noted in 1960 in patients receiving an MAOI and tryptophan. [54] The syndrome is caused by increased serotonin in ...
Chronic solvent-induced encephalopathy (CSE) is a condition induced by long-term exposure to organic solvents, often—but not always—in the workplace, that lead to a wide variety of persisting sensorimotor polyneuropathies and neurobehavioral deficits even after solvent exposure has been removed.
The 1990s was an iconic decade. We had bops being released left and right by Oasis, the Spice Girls, Snoop Dogg and more. You could catch Pulp Fiction, Clueless, Forrest Gump and Titanic in movie ...
When administered, larger doses of ghrelin act centrally on the raphe nucleus, hippocampus, and amygdala which causes dramatic increases in food intake, memory retention, and increases in anxiety. The effects of ghrelin are seen on the raphe nucleus as soon as an hour after injection, suggesting rapid changes in the structure of the nucleus.
