The GTP-binding family of proteins, septin, are a very diverse and complex group. Although septins were originally found in yeast, they have now been determined to play important roles in eukaryotic cells among animals and fungi. Within humans, septins function in multiple processes including cytokinesis,…

Memory is an essential part of everyone’s daily trivial activities in life. As you wake up, you remember and learn to get up to do the daily routine, such as brush your teeth, shower, get dressed, make on-the-go breakfast, and then commute to work or…
“Still Alice” is a film about a woman who is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Throughout this movie, it touches on the big themes of loss and determination. With these main themes, we see the journey that Alice and her family go through during the…
This paper explores the film, Still Alice, and how Dr. Alice Howland was a renowned linguistics professor at Columbia University. The film shows how words begin to escape her and she starts becoming lost on her daily jogs, Alice must come face-to-face with a devastating…
Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition with a predisposition of producing recurrent epileptic seizures unprovoked by any immediately identifiable cause. Epileptic seizures occur due to abnormal, excessive and synchronous neuronal activity in the brain resulting in a wave of depolarization called paroxysmal depolarizing shift (PDS)….
Proposed Study Aim 1: HSV-1 upregulation effects on mRNA-146a In this initial aim of the study, we propose to show the effects of HSV-1 in the brain of Alzheimer’s patients and its production of infection towards inflammation in the brain. We hypothesize that HSV-1 should…
The brain is the most vital organ in the body next to the heart. The brain functions so that every other organ and bodily system of an organism works as well as possible. However, there are medical conditions that may prevent an individual’s brain from…
The common neurodegenerative sickness that’s modern in nature i.e. with through the years more parts of brain get broken. It is an irreversible disease and is the maximum not unusual kind of Dementia that why it’s also known as Senile Dementia as β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide…
Between 70 and 90 percent of individuals with Alzheimer’s Disorder eventually develop behavioral symptoms that will impact their lives and daily routines (Bedrosian & Nelson, 2013). These symptoms can include problems sleeping, restlessness, wandering, agitation, anger, hallucinations, and delusions (Bedrosian & Nelson, 2013). Some of…
Worldwide, nearly 44 million people have Alzheimer’s or a related dementia, and only 1-in-4 people with Alzheimer’s disease have even been diagnosed. (“Alzheimer’s statistics”) This disease Alzheimer causes people, usually elders, to gradually forget valuable information like where they live, who their loved ones are,…
The Decline in Spatial Navigation Caused by Place Cell Dysfunction by Assessing Cognitive Function
644
Impairments in experience-dependent scaling and stability of hippocampal place fields limit spatial learning in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease Introduction Summary and Critique Alzheimer’s disease(AD) affects spatial navigation causing problems with recalling surroundings. This impairment increases as AD progresses eventually affecting place cells and…
In this research paper I will be talking about the nervous and sensory system, as well as three major diseases that arise from it. The nervous and sensory system are responsible for receiving and processing information that is collected by the various amounts of nerves…
Once, I was sharp. My mother would often joke about my steely resolve, saying I almost scared the doctor away at birth with my intense gaze. Growing up, I was a perceptive child, always wanting to know the ‘why’ behind everything. Unsurprisingly, science was my…
Molecular modeling studies revealed the mode of action of withanamides A and C which uniquely bind to the active motif of Aβ (25-35) and prevent fibril formation which in turn, blocks neuronal cell death triggered by amyloid-β (Jayaprakasam et al., 2010; Kumar et al., 2012)….
For our paper we are here to learn about an interesting disease that many people around the world face day to day. Before discussing the history, we may want to know what it is exactly and the causes of it. So what is Alzheimer’s disease?…
