Competence in sleep medicine requires an understanding of a myriad of very diverse disorders, many of which present with similar symptoms such as excessive daytime sleepiness, which, in the absence of volitional sleep deprivation, " is almost inevitably caused by an identifiable and treatable sleep disorder ", such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, idiopathic central nervous system ( CNS ) hypersomnia, Kleine-Levin syndrome, menstrual-related hypersomnia, idiopathic recurrent stupor, or circadian rhythm disturbances.

In vertebrate embryonic development, the retina and the optic nerve originate as outgrowths of the developing brain, so the retina is considered part of the central nervous system ( CNS ) and is actually brain tissue.

It is the only part of the CNS that can be visualized non-invasively.

Rarely, endometriosis can be extraperitoneal and is found in the lungs and CNS.

For example, the olfactory nerve fibers are short and without myelin, but the optic nerve fibers are myelinated ( the olfactory and optic nerves are considered as a parts of the CNS, while other cranial nerves are a component of the PNS ).

If microglia were not capable of this they would need to be replaced on a regular basis like macrophages, and would not be available to the CNS immune defense on extremely short notice without causing immunological imbalance under normal conditions.

During vestibular rehabilitation, physiotherapists take advantage of this characteristic of the CNS by provoking symptoms of dizziness or unsteadiness with head movements while allowing the visual, somatosensory and vestibular systems to interpret the information.

It normally communicates with the central nervous system ( CNS ) through the parasympathetic ( e. g., via the vagus nerve ) and sympathetic ( e. g., via the prevertebral ganglia ) nervous systems.

Although patients may be critically ill with failure of multiple organ systems during the acute illness, including renal failure, myocardial ischemia, and neurologic symptoms, recovery over several months may be complete in the absence of a frank myocardial infarct, stroke, or CNS hemorrhage.

All four diagnostic systems allow for assessment of CNS damage in these areas, but criteria vary.

All four diagnostic systems show virtual agreement on their criteria for CNS damage at the neurological level, and evidence of a CNS neurological impairment due to prenatal alcohol exposure will result in a diagnosis of FAS, and functional impairments are highly likely.

When structural or neurological impairments are not observed, all four diagnostic systems allow CNS damage due to prenatal alcohol exposure to be assessed in terms of functional impairments.

The four diagnostic systems list various CNS domains that can qualify for functional impairment that can determine an FAS diagnosis:

While this is somewhat effective as one drug ( the CNS stimulant ) triggers the sympathetic nervous system and the other ( the CNS depressant ) triggers the parasympathetic nervous system, the two systems that regulate the fight-or-flight & rest-and-digest responses, respectively, and simultaneous activity of the two pathways is what normally keeps one's body in natural homeostasis, there is an imperfect overlap in the effects of stimulants and depressants.

The enteric nervous systems makes use of over 30 different neurotransmitters, most similar to those of the CNS such as acetylcholine, dopamine, and serotonin.

Without microglial cells regrowth and remapping would be considerably slower in the resident areas of the CNS and almost impossible in many of the vascular systems surrounding the brain and eyes.

Because of the many similarities between vertebrate and invertebrate systems, especially with regards to basic principles of neuronal function, invertebrate model systems such as the crustacean stomatogastric nervous system continue to provide key insight into how neural circuits operate in the numerically larger and less accessible vertebrate CNS.

High-alcohol liquor, two forms of which were in the US Pharmacopoeia up until 1916 and in common use by physicians well into the 1930s, has been used in the past as an agent for dulling pain, due to the CNS depressant effects of ethyl alcohol, a notable example being the American Civil War.

This enables loperamide hydrochloride to be used to the same benefit as other opioid drugs but without the CNS side effects or potential for abuse.

The Central Nervous System ( CNS ) requires a great deal of oxygen for its neurons.

Paracetamol overdose may increase the potential for coma, respiratory problems, and can damage the CNS liver, kidneys, and stomach wall.

Agreeing with data implicating catecholaminergic mechanisms, modafinil increases phasic activity in the locus coeruleus ( the source for CNS norepinephrine ) while reducing tonic activity with respect to interconnections with the prefrontal cortex.

Moxifloxacin came out worst among the quinolones for causing CNS toxicity.

581 ( 1991 ), Raytheon terminated Lawrence Korb after receiving complaints of his public involvement in an anti-nuclear proliferation nonprofit known as the Committee for National Security ( CNS ) and his advocacy of reduced defense spending.

Interestingly, deletions at the PLP1 locus ( which are rarer ) cause a milder form of PMD than is observed with the typical duplication mutations, which demonstrates the critical importance of gene dosage at this locus for normal CNS function.

CNS has been the primary supplier of dial-up communications for credit-card authorizations for over 20 years, a competence developed through its long relationship with Visa International.

Its ability to reach synapses and neuromuscular and neuroglandular junctions throughout the body is responsible for its PNS effects, whereas its ability to cross the blood – brain barrier confers upon it the ability to cause CNS effects.

The PNS effects of BZ are essentially side effects that are useful in diagnosis, but incidental to the CNS effects for which the incapacitating agents were developed.

However, physostigmine is not used for this purpose because the doses required cause vomiting through CNS mechanisms.

In the past two decades, many studies have demonstrated positive results and potential for Schwann cell transplantation as a therapy for spinal cord injury, both in aiding regrowth and myelination of damaged CNS axons.

Lorazepam's anticonvulsant and CNS depressant properties are useful for the treatment and prevention of alcohol withdrawal syndrome.

The agent responsible for CWD ( and other TSEs, such as scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy ) is commonly thought to be a prion, an abnormal form of a normal protein, known as prion protein ( PrP ), most commonly found in the central nervous system ( CNS ), and is capable of spreading to the peripheral nervous system ( PNS ), thus infecting meat, or muscle, of deer and elk.

The peripheral nervous system ( PNS ) is a collective term for the nervous system structures that do not lie within the CNS.
