The normal functioning of a human is largely dependent on the behaviours which relates to the central nervous system; hence behavioral techniques have been used in both animal and human model to further understand the central nervous system. These tests have been widely used to look at the pharmalogical efficacy and the mechanism of depression, anxiety, addiction, memory other mental complications. These techniques are relatively more cost efficient, simple, and easy to conduct, therefore it is

by nature. Those survival organs are the arms for capturing prey, the complex eyes, and the brain/nervous system. This paper will state different organs and how the Enteroctopus Dofleini adapts physiologically to its surroundings. The Enteroctopus Dofleini has a larger brain compare to other Mollusca located right below the optic socket and wraps around the esophagus.

the good and bad of taking antidepressants. About 20 million people in the United States suffer from some form of depression (Schimelpfening, 2012). Depression occurs in someone when endogenous chemicals in the brain are used by the central nervous system to help communicate signals from one area to another. This imbalance in neurotransmitters, such as Serotonin, Dopamine and Norepinephrine plays a role in clinical depression. Decreased production of these neurotransmitters, a lack of receptor

Nature vs. Nurture The dubious history of the heredity environment controversy can be easily traced as far back as the start of the present century with at least some historical evidence placing the roots of this dispute in the time of John Locke.

(originally published in 1989) David Suzuki’s subject is the pain humans inflict on animals by using them in scientific experiments, hunting them, and keeping them in zoos. Suzuki’s thesis is that we use animals for these purposes because their bodies, nervous systems, and responses are much like ours. This similarity between humans and animals means, however, that animals feel fear and pain just as we do. Suzuki’s main purpose is to convince us that it is immoral to inflict pain on animals.

Heat stroke - results from prolonged exposure to high temperatures -- usually in combination with dehydration -- which leads to failure of the body's temperature control system. The medical definition of heat stroke is a core body temperature greater than 105 degrees Fahrenheit, with complications involving the central nervous system that occur after exposure to high temperatures. Other common symptoms include nausea, seizures, confusion, disorientation, and sometimes loss of consciousness or coma.

like Valium work by increasing the effect of the neurotransmitter GABA. GABA increases chloride ions into the neurons making it more difficult for neurotransmitters to stimulate them so it slows down the activity of the activity of the central nervous system. This reduces anxiety and leads to a feeling of calm. Bzs work very fast so it makes them suitable for emergency situations, however they are very addictive so can only be prescribed for two weeks at a time. They also have side- effects like
