This article is one of my favorite things on the internet. I mean, how could I NOT enjoy it? It is an in depth look into the neurology of our brains, and what it means to be human. Most of the information is in the scientific journal article, but the article in question is titled “Neurology Genetics”, and it is one of the most relevant to the topic at hand.
This is the first in a series of articles on how our brains function, and all of the theories involved in studying them. As a neuroscience student I’m still learning new things about the brain, and I’m excited to see what comes out of these articles.
As with any study of the brain, this one is going to be contentious. While it is true that our brain is constantly being reshaped, it is also true that there are some things that are more constant than others, and some things that change very little. For example, our brain’s hippocampus is very much like a muscle, and while it is constantly being repaired and renewed, it is also constantly being used. There are also some very interesting observations that many people make about brain cell death.
The question of whether the brain is constantly being repaired or constantly being used is one that is debated. It is also debated whether our brain cells die or are replaced. A 2009 study found that the death of neurons is caused by the constant loss of dopamine. The study also suggests that the brain may be constantly being repaired – even if we forget that it is being replaced.
This study and others have been linked to an increased risk for Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia and other mental disorders. The debate over whether our brain cells die or are replaced is one that is far too complex to be summarized in a short blog post. But I don’t know of any studies that compare a person’s brain with their own.
Brain diseases are often associated with the death or loss of neural cells. But that’s not the whole story. In contrast, Parkinson’s, Alzheimers, and some types of dementia are associated with a loss of neurons, but the process of this cell dying is not always associated with death.
Neurological disorders are a result of defects in neurons, brain cells, or neural connections. The most common type of neurological disorder is Alzheimer’s, where memory loss and other cognitive symptoms are the result of the death of brain cells. In other cases, the death of neurons or neural connections may result in physical and cognitive symptoms. An example of this is Parkinsons, a common neurological disease where symptoms of cognitive decline and dementia often appear years after the diagnosis.
We don’t know whether the death of neurons or neural connections causes Parkinsons, but we do know that the death of brain cells does. A condition called ALS, which can often be confused with Parkinson’s, is a degenerative neurological disorder that results from the death of neurons, which is why it’s often called a “parkinson’s disease.
The link between Parkinsons and ALS is a bit of a stretch, but I think a link between the two is fair game. Parkinsons is a rare genetic condition characterized by progressive muscle weakness, which can lead to difficulties with walking, speech, and swallowing. Most sufferers of Parkinsons are elderly, but it can strike children. ALS is a more common condition, but more people are now living with ALS than the previously reported 100 million people worldwide.
Some people are born with a genetic predisposition to a disease. People with Down syndrome are pretty much guaranteed to have a lot of health problems. It makes sense that people with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s are more likely to experience the disease.
