Review of article: “Statin Use and Risk of Cerebral Aneurysm Rupture: A Hospital-based Case-control Study in Japan,” Y. Yoshimura, Y. Murakami, et al. Design and Data Collection The presented study is a case-control study design, meaning it is based on measuring the associations between statin administration and the likely rupture of a cerebral aneurysm in purposefully selected indicator and control populations. The foundation of the study grew from theoretical components tied to animal models

covered by a sheet of neural tissue known as the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex houses the thalamus, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland. The thalamus is responsible for relaying information from the brain stem and spinal cord to the cerebral cortex. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland control functions like body temperature, sexual response, aggression, and pleasure. The cerebral cortex also holds about 90% of the of the brain’s neurons. The cerebral cortex is made up of four lobes. The frontal

In this case study, Gazzaniga, M.S and Roger W. Sperry studied the split-brain individuals. The researchers were exploring how far can the two halves of the human brain be able to function on their own, and if they could have separate and unique abilities. If we were to study each side of the brain separately, we would have to surgically cut the corpus callosum, which is what connects and communicates the information between the two hemispheres of your brain. In some cases of extreme epilepsy or

Informative Speech Tanja Leonard Speech Title: “Just A Headache?” General Purpose: To inform Specific Purpose: To inform my classmates about the cerebral aneurysm Thesis: Cerebral Aneurysms start with just a headache. Organization: Topical Pattern I. Introduction A. Has anyone ever had such a pounding headache that they felt that they were going to die or know anyone that has? Headaches are not something that should be taken lightly if they are not suppressed with over the counter

Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMP) is a useful test because the results can provide unique information about the otoliths (saccule and utricle), the inferior vestibular nerve, and the central pathways (intact and working properly). ENG/VNG’s calorics only evaluate the horizontal semicircular canal and the pathway through the superior portion while VEMPs evaluate the saccule (and utricle and superior vestibular nerve if using oVemps) and the inferior portion of the vestibular nerve. VEMPs

The nervous system is quite complex and includes many types of neurons that have many different functions. However, it is very well organized, and despite its complexity, the organization is actually quite elegant and reflects the functions of its component neurons. The central nervous system is composed of the brain and spinal cord and functions mainly to process information and determine the appropriate responses.The peripheral nervous system is composed of all of the sensory and motor neurons

The way the cerebral cortex is organized is through different regions that receive and analyze the sensory information. The first is the primary visual cortex, also called the striate cortex, which receives the visual information. The primary visual cortex is located in the back of the brain in the occipital lobe. Then there is the primary auditory cortex which receives the auditory information. This cortex is located in a fissure (a major grove in the surface of the brain) that’s on the said of

Sullivan et al, 200710 They states that, the term Hemiplegia is often used generically to refer the wide variety of motor problems that result from cerebro vascular accidents. Clinically, there is a possibility of variety of focal deficits, including changes in the level of consciousness and impairments of sensory, motor, cognitive, perceptual, and language. Mariam AG et al, 198318 From 1978 to 1982, 50 consecutive cases of acute infantile and childhood hemiplegias were followed up at their
