Cranial nerves
This topic starts with an overview of the 12 cranial nerves, accompanied by a specimen of the brain overlaid with an anatomical drawing illustrating the precise positions of the nerves. An interactive animation then allows the user to explore the structure and function of each of the cranial nerves in detail. Each cranial nerve description is supplemented with an anatomical drawing and a gross image of the relevant area.

Virtual Laboratory
The simulation program is based on the Nobel Prize winning Hodgkin-Huxley model for excitation of the squid axon. The program simulates an excised squid axon by applying stimuli or clamps after setting the environment of the axon, changing its properties, and/or adding drugs or toxins.
By using the program tools, experiments can be developed that explore a variety of nerve properties, ranging from classical phenomena such as threshold, summation, refractory period, and impulse propagation to mo
The Paradox of Success
The paradox of success is you need to embrace failure to achieve it.
This is a paper born out of a speech I gave to 600 17 year olds on entrepreneurship during the UK’s enterprise week in November 2007. It must rank as one of the most nerve jangling speeches I’ve ever done, since owning a teenager ...
ADHD and the Brain AnswersTV.com, video is hosted by Dr. Gerald Chodak. Video gives the history of ADHD, what happens in the brain, and what is often used to treat ADHD. ADHD is a common behavioral disorder and occurs before the age of seven. What they do know is that the occurrence of ADHD is tied to biological factors such as the size and density of various brain structures and the chemical reactions that take place in the brains. ADHD child
Jonas Salk and the Polio Vaccine
The polio virus attacks certain types of nerve cells and for hundreds of years it killed and crippled - especially children. By 1952 Dr. Salk and his research team had developed a killed virus vaccine against polio. Learn how a nationwide mobilization led by Jonas Salk eradicated polio from American society in this short video clip. Run time 0:55.
How to control nerves when speaking in public Many people say that speaking in public is one of the most nerve-racking things they have to do. Here are a few techniques to help you control your nerves. First, be prepared; the more prepared you are the less nervous you will be. Next, stretch on your neck and arms. Third, do lips and jaw exercises; these will help you relax. And lastly, focus on the audience. Public speaking is a great activity for kids of all ages. Thi
How the Body Works : Units of the Limbic System
The limbic system is a composite structure which lies in the temporal lobes of the brain and in the region of the thalamus. It is concerned with emotions and memory. The amygdaloid bodies are believed to be concerned with aggression. The hippocampus, lying above the parahippocampal gyrus, is concerned with memory. The septum pelucidum is thought to be associated with pleasure reactions. The cingulate gyrus, the fornix and the anterior commissure carry nerve fibers to and from other structures in
Journey Into the Ear
3-D animation shows the structure of the human ear as you travel from the outer ear to the nerve impulse. Also briefly discusses sound waves and vibrations. Grades 5-12. Run time 01:08.
5.2 Free verse Although we can't make rules about what constitutes a poem, we can see that even when writing free verse, where lines and line-breaks may be irregular, form is still important. Free verse still makes use of technical effects: rhythms, grammatical structures, sound effects, etc. Also, it invariably still makes grammatical sense. Free verse, with its infinite elasticity, can recreate form anew in each poem, inventing a one-off organising principle which explains that particular poem.

Medical Response to Weapons of Mass Destruction: Nerve Agents
This presentation discusses exposure to nerve agents such as sarin gas and their use as weapons of mass destruction, disease manifestations, how to diagnose and treat them. Medical Response to Weapons of Mass Destruction, A Course on Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical Warfare for Healthcare Providers, was the first of its kind following the devastating events of 2001. This Web-based course combines Medantic Technology's didactic presentations and Medulator virtual patient cases delivered via a cu
6.4.1 Writing a chemical equation to describe a chemical process
Atoms, elements and molecules are the building blocks of everything that makes up our world, including ourselves. In this unit you will learn the basic chemistry of how these components work together, starting with a chemical compound we are all very familiar with – water.
7.340 Learning and Memory: Activity-Controlled Gene Expression in the Nervous System (MIT)
The mammalian brain easily outperforms any computer. It adapts and changes constantly. Most importantly, the brain enables us to continuously learn and remember. What are the molecular mechanisms that lead to learning and memory? What are the cellular roles that activity-regulated gene products play to implement changes in the brain?How do nerve cells, their connections (synapses), and brain circuits change over time to store information? We will discuss the molecular mechanisms of neuronal plas
Posterior Fossa Tumor - Cranial Nerves Exam - Olfactory (CN I) Nerve Sub-exam - Patient 9
Patient is a 58-year-old white male with a history of acoustic neuroma that was resected in 1990. He has residual cranial nerve palsies on the right side and experiences tremors, ataxia and disequilibrium. His wife reports that she has noticed an increase in right hand tremor for the past year or so. The tremor worsens as the day progresses and occurs with activity. Patient reports an increase in balance problems while standing over the past 4 months. He has noticed that he staggers a step or t

A semaphorin code defines subpopulations of spinal motor neurons during mouse development.
In the spinal cord, motor neurons (MNs) with similar muscle targets and sensory inputs are grouped together into motor pools. To date, relatively little is known about the molecular mechanisms that control the establishment of pool-specific circuitry. Semaphorins, a large family of secreted and cell surface proteins, are important mediators of developmental processes such as axon guidance and cell migration. Here, we used mRNA in situ hybridization to study the expression patterns of semaphorins
