Neuroscience
Neurological diseases/disorders - Diseases and disorders that originate in the brain, most commonly lifelong and/or uncurable
Alzheimer's
Amyloid Abeta protein -A protein that plays a role in natural growth and repair which when damaged/corrupted and cause alzheimer's
Amyloid beta protein - Main component of amyloid plaques commonly found on the brain’s of people affected by alzheimer's
Amyloid plaques - Deposits of amyloid beta protein commonly found in brains of people who have alzheimer's
-
-
Schizophrenia
Neuregulin - A molecule that plays an important role in the repair, maintenance and development of a nervous system and other organs.
Epilepsy - The neurological disorder which makes one have a seizure if they are exposed to flashing lights
Autism - A broad range of disorders which may inhibit one's social skills, speech and non verbal communication and cause repetitive behaviors
-
Oligodendrocyte - A neuroglia which produces myelin, an undulating cover on the axons of nerve fibers. This plays a role in many neurological disorders such as alzheimer’s.
ADHD - A neurological condition which may induce trouble in paying attention, inhibit controlling compulsive behaviors and make one overly active
Chronic pain - Constant pain caused by a malfunction in the brain. Most commonly a result of Prefrontal Cortex hypoactivity
Lab Procedures
-
-
Electrophysiological recordings - Recordings of large scale electrical signals from the nervous system

Neurons
Synapses
-
Synaptic Integration - The complex process of how neurons are able to build up synaptic inputs before generating a nerve impulse
Sensory
Olfaction - Being able to recreate the sense of smell from memory. It involves the stimulation of receptor cells in the olfactory epithelium
Sensory Neurons - Neurons that convert sensory stimuli into action potentials which are different electrical signals
-
Sensory Stimuli
Somatosensory - The sense of touch, pain, pressure, temperature and body movement
-
Neural Stem Cell - Stem cells in the brain which are able to self replicate unlike fully differentiated neurons. These stem cells are used to create the neurons during childhood and brain development.
-
-
Types
Excitatory neuron - Neurons which "excite" other neurons to fire off a specific message. This is used for passing information through the brain and nervous system
