thinning is more likely progressive neuronal apoptosis. Several factors have been shown to stimulate apoptosis in various models of AD, including, impaired glucose metabolism, excitotoxicity and mitochondrial dysfunction. Additionally, factors, such as tumor suppressor protein p53, forkhead box protein (FOXO), and ROS, can mediate apoptosis in AD [56, 57]. Thus, new treatment strategies aimed at developing molecules that downregulate apoptosis are currently a primary

cure for dementia, doctors treat patients with a cocktail of drugs in hopes of slowing the progression of the disease. The cause of dementia is not quite understood. Even though it is caused by the death of brain cells, the particular cause is widespread. Brain cells can be destroyed by brain diseases such

Eventually, people with the disease may even forget important people in their lives and undergo dramatic personality changes. Alzheimer 's disease is the most common cause of dementia — a group of brain disorders that cause the loss of intellectual and social skills. In Alzheimer 's disease, the brain cells degenerate and die, causing a steady decline in memory and mental function. Current Alzheimer 's disease medications and management strategies may temporarily improve symptoms. This can sometimes

Mobile phone exposure and carcinogenesis Brain cancer is the most frightening hazard of mobile phone use. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified RF fields as “possibly carcinogenic to humans,” in 2002 in spite of limited evidence from human and animal studies (IARC, 2002). The relation between mobile phone radiation exposure and cancer are justified. Muscat et al. (2000) showed that a relationship exists between mobile phone use and meningioma or glioma. A meta-analysis

the human body is the brain, and it is made up of one hundred billion nerves that communicate trillions of messages throughout your body. (Hoffman,2014) It tells each part of your body what to do, and it helps people learn and perform everyday tasks. Music and many other different factors can cause the brain to send out different messages. For example, if you listen to different genres of music, there are different emotions and memories that the brain generates. The brain is one of the most complex

For year’s scientist, philosophers, and specialists have delved into studies on the inner workings of the brain. With each new discovery, new questions arise looking beyond the physical brain and into the areas of judgment and emotions. Questions regarding the mind-body connection can be traced back to Descartes, a philosopher, who looked at how the material body was affected by the mind, or soul. Descartes studies were only the beginning of the discussion which has now been stretched to include

autoimmune neurodegenerative disease characterized by the disruption of the blood brain barrier (BBB), perivascular inflammation, axonal and oligodendrocyte injury, and breakdown of the myelin sheath present in the central nervous system (CNS). The Loss of myelin leads to progressive axonal damage and eventually neuronal death, resulting in neurodegeneration and functional disability in different regions in the brain and the spinal cord. According to the domain which is compromised, it could cause

Epilepsy is a general term for any brain disorder that causes unpredictable regular seizures. These seizures as caused by a disturbance in the brain’s electrical activity. It is considered a chronic neurological disorder, the fourth most common in the world. There were around 3.4 million people reported as having epilepsy in the United States in 2015 with 470,000 of those being children (CDC, 2017). This is about 1.2% of the population in the United States (CDC, 2017). There are about 50 million

The brain is fill with a vast network of capillaries, which are surrounded by a single layer of cells and those cells are what forms a barrier between the capillaries and the fluid of the brain. Those cells are known as endothelial cells. This paper will focus mainly on the blood brain barrier. Blood brain barrier has a very important function. The cell membrane of the blood brain barrier contains many transport proteins those transport proteins are the ones that decide what goes in and out

side). These symptoms that the patient are experiencing relate to Chiari malformation type 1 [7], is a condition in which brain tissue extends into your spinal canal, develops as the skull and brain are growing. As a result, signs and symptoms may not occur until late childhood [10]. It occurs when part of your skull is abnormally small or misshapen, pressing on your brain and forcing it downward
