Understanding The Hazards Of The MRI Technique Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one the most rapidly advancing imaging techniques available today. Not to mention one of the safest but there are many safety precautions that need to be taken before encountering its magnetic field. It is used to produce detailed sectional images of the body on any imaging plane. Compared to the x-ray medical diagnostic techniques, general position emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) a (MRI) scan

secondhand smoke. Yet, after all my tobacco control work, the field of science had thus far failed to satiate my intellectual voracity. That was, until the first semester of my senior year, as my psychology class tackled the Goliath that was the brain unit. As we pieced together the different segments of neural networks and glial cells, Mrs. Hobbs taught us how neurotransmitters bind to their receptor sites A miraculous journey dubbed the “synaptic kiss”. Something about that euphemism stimulated

Alcohol inhibits the neural communication pathways of brain, and can negatively affect the way the brain appears and functions. This damage, while great, is in relation to what I would label the adult brain. Excessive alcohol use is far more detrimental to a brain

Dopamine & DAT (Dopamine Active Transporter) The central dogma of biology involves the transcription of DNA to mRNA and the subsequent translation of the mRNA to protein. This experiment focused on identifying the Dopamine Active Transporter, commonly abbreviated as DAT. DAT is a consists of 12 transmembrane domains. It is responsible for mediating the reuptake of dopamine from the synaptic cleft back into the cytosol. With dopamine being one of the key neurotransmitters, it is associated with a
