Document Summary
Brain doesn"t have any pain receptors (!!!!) Have to be careful about what? usually be their last possible resort) People who have dbs performed on them have usually tried other methods in order to get better (dbs will. Nature vs nurture [could be a combination of both] Comes from the mother when the eggs (are older and) start mutating. 3 chromosomes on chromosome 21 instead of 2. Maternal age (paternal age can also be important relating to other diseases such as autism) Changes in gene activity passed down without changing genetic code. Kids with gluttony produced sons and grandsons who died sooner. Pregnant women ate poorly; child -> cardiovascular disease as adult. Rat pups and their mothers stress hormones. (offspring) growing up without their mothers, they wouldn"t have a good stress response. The offspring (who didn"t have good/present mothers) grew up to be not good/not present mothers either. Today we have abilify (better antipsychotic drugs, yet still serious; reduces dopamine)
