Neurology

In recent years there have been a myriad of ground breaking discoveries in science. However, I believe more can be done in neurology as we have a worldwide ageing population with dementia affecting many sufferers and their families. I wish to study neuroscience as I would like to examine conditions such as this but also investigate other aspects of the brain such as neuroanatomy. Having had a close family member diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, I've been exposed to the fragilities of the human

There is no question I want to train in pediatric neurology, a complex arena with multiple intersecting facets that has been a long-standing interest. A 5 year-old female who was initially admitted due to severe status asthmaticus, developed over four days an acute flaccid paralysis involving both upper extremities with associated areflexia and lower extremity sparing; where is the lesion? This very question encapsulates every aspect of neurology with which I have become fascinated. This was my

I chose to do my research on epilepsy. I have some knowledge of this sickness and I have found some interesting facts and more information that will help us as we prepare ourselves to become future educators. As we all know we will be faced with many students, and we must prepare ourselves with the terms, facts and the many learning abilities to fit the needs of the children for they our future. The more I continue to prepare myself, I am getting a clearer understanding how children lean and it

The Neurology of Love Major Research Area The major research area discussed in the selected article is the neurology of love specifically, the brain activity observed through functional magnetic resonance imaging techniques (fMRI) observed when study participants viewed images of their long-term spouses (Acevedo et al, 2011). This is part of a larger area of research that aims to define and measure the impact that feelings of love have on the brain and the neurological system, or perhaps the

On one hand, the genetic theory provides a greater reasoning for a link between origin and social function of mirror neuron, while on the other hand, the associative learning account does not necessitate this evolutionary presumption. Natural selection is an integral factor in the evolutionary theory, but it maintains a supplementary role in the associative learning theory in which the individual environment and sensory input throughout a lifespan is indispensable in understanding of the development

with epilepsy but also many other people in my hometown suffering from debilitating neurological illnesses. The desire to make a difference in these peoples life has played a vital role to increase my inclination towards neurology. As a result I decided to pursue my career in neurology

conversations with individuals I met over the course of my education, a penchant for reading to increase my knowledge and later the patients I evaluated and helped during medical school and research have all had a lasting impression on me and my deciding Neurology as a career choice. The complexity of the brain has fascinated me since the day in school I learnt about the five senses and the brain being the master of our functioning. As a teenager,I read about the galaxies and the milky way and imagined the

government hospitals affiliated with my medical school have no separate Neurology departments. Instead of this being a hindrance, I considered it a mixed blessing. My curiosity was kindled and I studied neuroanatomy and neurology with more vigor than most. My desire for learning took me to the USA for clinical electives at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, where I had the best experience in a short time frame. My interest in neurology intensified once I was able to observe and participate with neurologists

people throughout my life and clinical cases during medical school have increased my interest in the field of neurology. I remember one specific patient suffering from dementia that may not remember me still, asked: “Who am I?” At first, I thought, people usually ask, “Who are you?” It dawned on me later that day how without the mind fully intact, we are just flesh in motion. I feel that Neurology has such a wide variety of different disorders and just in the last decade, research continues to find new
