Friday Writing 1/31





Exploring how the procedural approaches to optogenetic stimulation, such as effective process times, and how the overall time of manipulation, such as acute or chronic, will influence the complex circuitry of mammalian neuroplasticity (either model organism with rats, or genetic treatment in humans). Such learning can be achieved by a combination of neural imaging while activation of optogenetically modified cells. These cells modified would possibly be the supportive cells responsible for either blocking or activating signals that the longer connective cells would be sending/receiving. The natural daily acute and chronic stimulation of optogenetics allows a better understanding of the circuitry influences from physiological internal or external responses.

Friday Writing Report 3/6

I felt confident about the background research and how it tied together. If I were to revise it I would go more in to depth about the interconnections. I learned that I definitely do not want to be a psychology major and that I am really interested in Bio-Physics.

INTRO / BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION As neurodegenerative disease continues to rise, alternative methods of healing must be investigated in order to curb the increase of deteriorating states of consciousness in individuals. The congestion of beta amyloid plaque near neuron to neuron pathways are known as signature features that lead to the development of Alzheimer’s Disease(1). If cholinergic neurons are blocked by the formation plaque or neurofibrillary tangles, the dysregulation of acetylcholine pathway from the basal forebrain will not reach astrocytes that contribute to neuronal firing essential to a health cognition, leading to apoptosis and cortical desynchronization(2). Alpha wave frequencies, between 7-11(Hz), are known to induce a focused state of mind that can improve learning.The effect of hearing two tonal frequencies, with the difference of those two frequencies falling between 7-11(Hz) will produce a binaural beat stimulation in the alpha band range, influencing the brain to believe that the in
