MATH 190 Lecture Notes - Lecture 31: Peripheral Neuropathy, Brainstem, Neural Development
Document Summary
Glioma ones are most dangerous ones from the perspective of temporal development - they can rapidly grow in size and cover large portions of the brain. They are postmitotic cell, they can"t divide. Seizures - correlated activity of large number of neurons; considered to be a problem of excitatory neurons. If inhibitor neurons are active at the same time, the activation in the rest of the network will be shutted down. Absence - most common version of epilepsy; you can"t detect it behaviorally; if it happens during neural development, it can impair cognition for life. Grandmal - visible phenotype upon the initiation of the seizure itself if there is a large leakage, you are changing the intracranial pressure, neurons are going to start being pushed. Obstructive stroke - no leakage; lipids go and block typically small vessels in the brain if a small blood vessels are blocked, you wouldn"t feel it (new blood vessels are created);
