Introduction: Motor neurons and muscle fibers are the building blocks of motor units and where they intersect is called the neuromuscular junciton. The region where the flattened end of a motor neuron transmits neural impulses to a muscle is the motor end-plate. The end plate potentials depolarizes skeletal muscle fibers caused by neurotransmitters binding to the postsynaptic membrane in the neuromuscular junction. The process of contraction of the muscle cell is called excitation-contraction coupling

Current Stimulation (tDCS) to stimulate the brain to alter neurons and increase learning. Brain plasticity occurs in a clinical setting through challenge and dose, where the brain changes to adapt to learning. tDCS has been found, in a cheap and portable way, to be able to stimulate the human brain and temporarily change the functional output in the brain. Cathodal stimulation slows down the brain excitability and anodal increases the brain excitability. The greater the time of anodal stimulation of tDCS

medical and technological advances that have been made contributes to all of those things. A brain pacemaker, also known as a neurostimulator, is implanted through a surgical procedure called deep brain stimulation. This is an invasive, chronically implanted device that uses electrical stimulation to alleviate dysfunctions of the brain (Johansson, Garwicz, Kanje, Halldenius, Schouenborg, 2015). There are three components to this pacemaker which are a lead, an extension, and an implantable pulse generator

Contrast X-Rays : Contrast x-rays involve injecting a substance into an area of the body that absorbs x-rays around the surrounding tissue. The injected substance shows the contrast between the compartment and surrounding tissue during an x-ray photograph. Cerebral Angiography is the process that uses radio opaque dye into a cerebral

8/04/08 Parkinson's disease Parkinson's disease affects the way you move. It happens when there is a problem with certain nerve cells in the brain. Normally, these nerve cells make an important chemical called dopamine. Dopamine sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movement. It lets your muscles move smoothly and do what you want them to do. When you have Parkinson’s, these nerve cells break down. Then you no longer have enough dopamine, and you have trouble moving the way you
