Abstract:
focuses on some of the methods currently available to study neural-immune interactions. Specifically, it considers methods that allow us to assess how an immune function may come to influence the neurochemistry of the brain, and how nerve cell activity is modified by immune system signaling, ( how cytokines alter neurotransmitter content).
Understand the application of related theories & techniques as well as indicating new avenues of investigation that arise from them.
Outline some of the strategies that have used electrophysiological techniques to gain insight into how brain circuits “work” and how the immune system may affect these behaviors.
in order to understand the relations between cytokine signaling and behavior, suggest future lines of unexplored inquiry that are necessary to understand fully how immune function alters brain function,
Discuss and evaluate several biochemical immune-modulating pathways pertaining to glioblastoma and alzheimers. Provide insights/evaluate their applications and discuss improvements.
research on neurochemistry's involvement in modulating neuroplasticity. (Tie in a discussion on cognitive enhancers and their possible role in Alzheimer's)
Briefly introduce the biochemistry of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and evaluate its consequential advancements using contemporary (2015-2016) source from www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed
Using neurochemistry, discuss and evaluate the role of genetic telomeres and telomerase in cancer and advances in telomerase-targeted therapies
discuss neurochemistry and its frontiers in pharmacogenetics & in cancer pharmacology (consider the likely impact on disease target identification, the development of new drugs for "niche" markets, the mechanisms of personalized medicine, including therapies that have maximum efficacy and minimum side-effect profiles.)
