Symptom Presentation:
Glutamate: Increased production of the neurotransmitter Glutamate
Memory Loss: Recent demonstrated memory loss
Previously, you researched and considered three conditions through the process of differential diagnosis that would present with varying abnormalities in homeostasis, metabolism, triglycerides and DNA in week 1. Abnormalities in oxidation, plasma and tissue enzyme activity, inflammation and alopecia respectively in week 2. Increased cortisol and demonstrated bone loss in week 3 and fibromyalgia and muscle atrophy in week 4. Given the new symptom presentation above, written presentation: . If choosing a written presentation, create a 2-3 paragraphs per each of the questions listed below. Is there a connection between the previous increased cortisol symptoms and an increase production in the neurotransmitter glutamate? Explain or debunk this connection. Are increased cortisol and increased glutamate associated with memory loss and neuron degradation in the central nervous system (CNS)? Rationalize and explain your answer. Do you believe this recent memory loss to be purely psychologically associated, purely biochemically associated or a mixture of both? Rationalize and explain your answer.you can choose one symptom from week one to three and compare with the two new symptom provided.
Explanation / Answer
Ans. Glutamate is the workhorse neurotransmitter of the mammalian brain, which play a very important role.Barain that is a complax entity controls cortisol release via diffrent factors like ACTH, GABA, Glutamate etc and somewhere it is shown that glutamate cause increase in cortisol production but it is hardly proven that it is true for all the brains and all types of conditions. So to look after the exact conclusion i may say it is a big question mark.
However, stress has harsh link to everybody either human or animal and during stress cortisol creates a surplus of the neurotransmitter glutamate which leads to formation of free radicals that attack and lead to rupturing and slow death of brain cells. Once body tend to be in stress for long it deteriorates the memory cells beause if memory cells get weeker than only surplus issues overlooked and dominate over the body.
According to my point of view this meory loss starts with psycological problem that overturn to biochemical disturbance and in all both have their individual role in shooting this disorder.
