Yes. It may be dispensed by anon-wavered physician for up to 72 hours for the treatment of acute withdrawal while longer term treatment is being worked out. -MORE-

People with serious forms of anxiety demonstrate chronic over-activity in the areas of the brain associated with fear or nervousness. An inhibitory neurotransmitter, gamma aminobutyricacid (GABA) works in these areas to diminish this excessive nerve cell activity. There is evidence that benzodiazepines cause an increase in the activity of GABA, thereby returning the system to a normal level and reducing the associated symptoms of anxiety.

Brain entrain uses the power of the subconscious to process information, in order to change the beliefs that we hold. The new beliefs will support healthy thoughts and healthy behaviour, making us happier and better able to achieve what we truly want. See similar questions...

The Battery Brain that is attached to the vehicles battery will disconnect the load from the battery when it detects a drain beneath a certain level, saving energy to restart the vehicle when needed. This means that if you mistakenly leave the lights or radio on, or there is an unknown short in the system, Battery Brain makes sure that your car will start. See similar questions...

Examples of brand name opioids are: OxyContin?, Percocet?, Palladone?(taken off the market 7/2005), Vicodin?, Percodan?, Tylox? and Demerol? among others. -MORE- See similar questions...

Brain death results from a severe, irreversible injury to the brain. All areas of the brain are damaged and no longer function. In situations of brain death, a person cannot sustain their own life, but vital body functions may be maintained in an intensive care unit for a short period of time. This maintains circulation to the vital organs long enough to facilitate organ donation. People who experience brain death can also donate tissue. See similar questions...

The meaning of the word tumor is a "lump" or a "swelling", and in medical language it is used to indicate an abnormal, uncontrolled growth in any part of the body. You may think of it as a group of cells which rapidly divide and do not recognize any rule or limit. The brain tumors are similar to the tumors of other organs. However, since the brain is the center of many critical functions, tumors arising in this organ have serious outcomes. See similar questions...

In some ways yes, but in most ways it is not at all like a computer. The brain performs many analog operations which cannot be performed by computers and in many cases it achieves hybrid digital-analog computing. The most important feature of the brain that makes it different from computers is that it is constantly changing. See similar questions...

The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system. The central nervous system controls everything we do. It controls the things we need to do, such as talk, walk, and chew our food. It also does the things that need to be done for us, such as control our breathing, heartbeat, and digestion. The brain sits in the bony skull. The spinal cord is surrounded by the vertebral column. These structures offer protection against the traumas of everyday life. See similar questions...

Drugs are chemicals. They work in the brain by tapping into the brain's communication system and interfering with the way nerve cells normally send, receive, and process information. Some drugs, such as marijuana and heroin, can activate neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural neurotransmitter. This similarity in structure "fools" receptors and allows the drugs to lock onto and activate the nerve cells. See similar questions...

Brain Bullet sits in your computer's system tray, and displays targeted affirmations on your screen at speed. These "affirmations" are merely statements of positive intent — beliefs that you want your mind to accept as fact, without destroying their core objectives with conscious thought. It works on the principles of exposure and suggestion. The more exposure your mind gets to a particular belief, the more it begins to believe it. See similar questions...

The BNFC has not seen any evidence to indicate that switching between brands of modified-release opioids that have the same release profile (e.g. between different brands of 12-hourly oral morphine, or between different brands of fentanyl patch) alters the therapeutic effect. Furthermore, when used in accordance with the product licence, there are no grounds for a clinical difference between brands of fentanyl patch. See similar questions...

All drugs of abuse directly or indirectly target the brain's reward system by flooding the circuit with dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter present in regions of the brain that regulate movement, emotion, cognition, motivation, and feelings of pleasure. The overstimulation of this system, which rewards our natural behaviors, produces the euphoric effects sought by people who abuse drugs and teaches them to repeat the behavior.

Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) uses one or two surgically implanted medical devices, similar to cardiac pacemakers, to deliver electrical stimulation to precisely targeted areas of the brain. These structures are deep within the brain and involve motor control. Your neurosurgeon will decide which of these areas to target. Stimulation blocks the signals that cause the disabling motor symptoms of some movement disorders. As a result, many patients achieve greater control over their body movements.

Generally speaking, the central nervous system (which is composed of the brain and the spinal cord) matures in a sequence from "tail" to head. In just the fifth week after conception, the first synapses begin forming in a fetus's spinal cord. By the sixth week, these early neural connections permit the first fetal movements--spontaneous arches and curls of the whole body--that researchers can detect through ultrasound imaging.
