What disease is this
Alexander Disease
What is Alexander Disease?
the mutation of GFAP genes that causes the overproduction of GFAP protein causing cell to fail.
Astrocytoma
Type of Cancer that form in the brain or spinal cord
What is Multiple Sclerosis?
autoimmune disorder, where the body attacks and damages the myelin sheath of its own nerves
disrupts communication between the brain and body and causes symptoms such as vision loss, pain, fatigue, and impaired coordination.
\n
What nerve is effected by Multiple Sclerosis?
Oligodendrocytes
What is HIV/AIDS Encephalitis?
Viral-Activated Microglia produce neurotoxins such as glutamate and NO, which damage the brain
What is the Diagnosis?
Viral Activated Microglia
What is the Autonomic Nervous System?
The autonomic nervous system is the type of nervous system that activates when you panic

What is Coronal?
Separates the brain from front to back (Butterfly)
What Is this

What is Sagittal?
Sagittal slices the brain down the midline and horizontal separates the brain from top to bottom.
What is this?
Sagittal
What is Horizontal?
separates brain from top to bottom
What is this?
Horizontal
Explain White Matter Vs Grey Matter
White Matter
Composed Of an Axon bundle
White because myelin sheaths cover the axon
Grey Matter
Composed of clusters of neuron cell bodies
have a dark grey appearance
What’s the Four Cortical lobes
Frontal
Parietal
Occipital
Temporal
What view is this?
Lateral
What view is this?
Horizontal
What is this diagnosis?
Subdural Hematoma
(Blood is in the subdural space but under the skull (underneath the dura)
What affects the speed that information is transmitted?
Neuron diameter (thicker = faster)
Myelin sheath (more myelin = faster)
Number of neurons involved (fewer = faster)
What benefits is there with larger neurons?
Can make more connections
Can cover greater distances
Transmit information faster
