Like almost everybody else, he confused the heart, both as organ and as symbol, with the disturbed psyche, the deranged glands, and the jumpy central nervous system.

Moreover, the dominance in parasympathetic action ( with reciprocal inhibition of the sympathetic ) at the hypothalamic level induces, by its peripheral action, the autonomic symptoms of sleep and, by its action on the cortex, a lessening in the reactivity of the sensory and motor apparatus of the somatic nervous system.

( He explained that he could diagnose these ailments from squeezing her foot because all of the nervous system was connected to it.

Unlike bony fish, there is no direct control of the pigment cells by the nervous system, and this results in the colour change taking place more slowly than happens in fish.

The nervous system is basically the same as in other vertebrates, with a central brain, a spinal cord, and nerves throughout the body.

Korzybski's work argued that human knowledge of the world is limited both by the human nervous system and by the structure of language.

Human beings cannot experience the world directly, but only through their " abstractions " ( nonverbal impressions or " gleanings " derived from the nervous system, and verbal indicators expressed and derived from language ).

In third grade, Warhol had chorea, the nervous system disease that causes involuntary movements of the extremities, which is believed to be a complication of scarlet fever and causes skin pigmentation blotchiness.

Axons are in effect the primary transmission lines of the nervous system, and as bundles they help make up nerves.

In vertebrates, the axons of many neurons are sheathed in myelin, which is formed by either of two types of glial cells: Schwann cells ensheathing peripheral neurons and oligodendrocytes insulating those of the central nervous system.

Other fibers not mentioned in table are e. g. fibers of the autonomic nervous system

Ataxia is a non-specific clinical manifestation implying dysfunction of the parts of the nervous system that coordinate movement, such as the cerebellum.

Any type of focal lesion of the central nervous system ( such as stroke, brain tumour, multiple sclerosis ) will cause the type of ataxia corresponding to the site of the lesion: cerebellar if in the cerebellum, sensory if in the dorsal spinal cord ( and rarely in the thalamus or parietal lobe ), vestibular if in the vestibular system ( including the vestibular areas of the cerebral cortex ).

Exogenous substances that cause ataxia mainly do so because they have a depressant effect on central nervous system function.

Copper accumulates in the nervous system and liver and can cause ataxia as well as other neurological and organ impairments.

This information is processed by the brain and the autonomic nervous system mediates the homeostatic responses.

To carry out its part of this response, the adrenal medulla receives input from the sympathetic nervous system through preganglionic fibers originating in the thoracic spinal cord from T5 – T11.

Canine distemper virus ( CDV ) is known to cause apoptosis in central nervous system and lymphoid tissue of infected dogs in vivo and in vitro.

When gastric hydrochloric acid reaches the nerves in the gastrointestinal mucosa, they signal pain to the central nervous system.

A notable opioid for the purpose of relief of diarrhoea is loperamide which is only an agonist of the μ opioid receptors in the large intestine and does not have opioid affects in the central nervous system as it doesn't cross the blood – brain barrier in significant amounts.

This system is activated in response to a fall in blood pressure ( hypotension ), as well as markers of problems with the salt-water balance of the body, such as decreased sodium concentration in the distal tubule of the kidney, decreased blood volume and stimulation of the kidney by the sympathetic nervous system.

Improper discontinuation or abrupt restarting of neuroleptics have been shown to cause dysfunction in regions of the brainstem as well as dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system.

Central nervous system damage is also associated with irreversible tardive akathisia and / or tardive dysphrenia.

The modern suburb, just south of Plimmerton, derives its name from the " Parramatta Barracks ", erected on the north shore of Porirua Harbour in about 1846 when the infant government was nervous about the local Ngati Toa tribe under its leader Te Rauparaha.

The disease used to be classified as a " neurocristopathy ", or disease of the neural crest because part of the autonomic nervous system ( such as sympathetic ganglia ) derives from the neural crest.

It's name derives from its focus on the vegetative or autonomous nervous system.

We had stopped before a shop window to assess its autumnal display, when you suddenly turned to me, looking up from beneath one of your wrong hats, and with your nervous `` ahem ''!!

This pathology is widely known because of its occurrence in the central nervous system, but can appear in any location.

* The sea slug Aplysia was chosen by Nobel Prize-winning neurophysiologist Eric Kandel as a model for studying the cellular basis of learning and memory, because of the simplicity and accessibility of its nervous system, and it has been examined in hundreds of experiments.

It is most commonly believed that complexity in the behavior of an organism is correlated to the complexity of its nervous system.

For example, high glycine concentration disrupts temperature and blood pressure control, and high CSF pH causes dizziness and syncope .. To use Davson's term, the CSF has a " sink action " by which the various substances formed in the nervous tissue during its metabolic activity diffuse rapidly into the CSF and are thus removed into the bloodstream as CSF is absorbed.

Ethanol's acute effects are largely due to its nature as a central nervous system depressant, and are dependent on blood alcohol concentrations:

The endocrine system is an information signal system like the nervous system, yet its effects and mechanism are classifiably different.

Braid argued that the occult qualities of Mesmerism were illusory and that its effects were due to a combination of " nervous fatigue " and verbal suggestion.

The main questions regarding the nature of mind is its relation to the physical brain and nervous system – a question which is often framed as the Mind-body problem, which considers whether mind is somehow separate from physical existence ( dualism and idealism ), deriving from and reducible to physical phenomena such as neurological processes ( physicalism ), or whether the mind is identical with the brain or some activity of the brain.

Morphine is a phenanthrene opioid receptor agonist – its main effect is binding to and activating the μ-opioid receptors in the central nervous system.

In clinical settings, morphine exerts its principal pharmacological effect on the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract.

Neurology, being a branch of medicine, differs from neuroscience, which is the scientific study of the nervous system in all its aspects.

This has allowed neuroscientists to study the nervous system in all its aspects: how it is structured, how it works, how it develops, how it malfunctions, and how it can be changed.

The nervous system is an organ system containing a network of specialized cells called neurons that coordinate the actions of an animal and transmit signals between different parts of its body.

The enteric nervous system, a subsystem of the peripheral nervous system, has the capacity, even when severed from the rest of the nervous system through its primary connection by the vagus nerve, to function independently in controlling the gastrointestinal system.

According to Woolf, there are three classes of pain: nociceptive pain ( see hereunder ), inflammatory pain which is associated with tissue damage and the infiltration of immune cells, and pathological pain which is a disease state caused by damage to the nervous system ( neuropathic pain, see hereunder ) or by its abnormal function ( dysfunctional pain, like in fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, tension type headache, etc.

These are feelings such as hunger, thirst and fatigue, evoked by internal body states, communicated to the central nervous system by interoceptors, which motivate behavior aimed at maintaining the internal milieu at its ideal state.

In high concentrations, its toxin paralyzes the central nervous system of fish so they cannot breathe.

The band had just lost founding member Peter Green, and its members were nervous about touring without him.
