00:01
All right.
00:01
So here we are addressing different diseases that affect, you know, the neurological system.
00:09
And we're looking for a particular one.
00:11
So let's go through all of these.
00:13
Menigitis, basically anyitis is an inflammation.
00:24
And it affects the meninges.
00:29
Okay.
00:29
Why? because there's usually an infection in the meninges.
00:36
Which is the area surrounding your central nervous system.
00:49
In other words, your brain and spinal cord is your meninges.
00:55
Okay, so meningitis would not be the disease described here.
01:04
Okay, next, parkinson's.
01:08
Parkinson's is a progressive disease.
01:17
Let me just add another m there.
01:21
Inflammation.
01:25
Okay.
01:26
It is a progressive disease, like the one described here, but it affects movement.
01:37
Movement due to the lack of dopamine.
01:41
Okay.
01:41
There is a lack of a neurotransmitter.
01:45
The dopaminergic cells don't make enough dopamine.
01:51
And dopamine is actually, among other things, in charge of like the smooth movement between one thing in another.
01:58
So you know when you are sending nervous signals, it's a lot of action potentials being sent.
02:07
Dopamine helps that smooth coordination.
02:10
So one of the first symptoms of parkinson seems to be that shaking or tremor that is very characteristic.
02:21
Now amnesia is a blanket term for memory loss for whatever reason.
02:29
Okay, so yes, it could be progressive memory loss.
02:35
It could be sudden memory loss.
02:38
So it could be progressive.
02:44
It could be temporary or it could be permanent.
02:58
What's the difference? progressive means it keeps getting worse and worse and worse.
03:03
Well, permanent, it could just be you forget one incident.
03:06
And that happens a lot with people.
03:08
With, well, not a lot, a lot, but it's not uncommon to happen with people who have some sort of brain trauma.
03:14
They hit their head and they just forget everything to do with what happened right before they hit their head, whether it be a car accident or a fall...
