even if we don’t yet fully understand how or why. One theory is that because we evolved with nature and have an innate affinity for it, spending time in nature activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which lowers blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing, thereby leaving us feeling mor...

Somatotopy is the physical representation of the body in the central nervous system. A common abbreviation scheme is A-T-L for arm-trunk-leg, as shown here for ascending sensory and descending motor pathways. Finally, this one shows the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots at four adjacent spin...
Picture of Ataxia Telangiectasia (Ear) Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) is rare genetic disease that affects the nervous system, the immune system, and many other parts of the body. Also known as Louis-Bar syndrome, dilated blood vessels and poor coordination are typical hallmarks of the condition....
