Double-blind design: this is how the study will be conducted. This means that in this study, participants will know which treatments are being applied to each participant. In this case, the researcher can hire a doctor or health professional who can deliver the different treatments to the participants without the researcher and the participants themselves knowing what treatment is being delivered and which participants are not receiving any treatment.

Antagonist: It will be a substance used to establish connections in the participants' neurological receptors, but without activating these receptors and preventing any other substance from activating them.

Acetylcholine: Will be the neurotransmitter tested in treatments, as it is the main neurotransmitter often related to the symptoms of Parkinson's disease, alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia

Positron Emission Tomography (PET): It will allow the visualization of images that will allow the evaluation of the functioning of the neurotransmitters related to each tested treatment.

Blood-brain barrier: It will allow the assessment of the metabolic function of the participants' brain, as it protects the nervous system from toxic and harmful substances. This cerebral metabolic function will be evaluated in relation to each treatment applied.

Myelin sheath: is the protective layer of nerve cells. It is usually damaged in people who have Parkinson's disease, alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia, for this reason, it will allow the assessment of their protection in relation to each treatment tested.

pychu [463]
<span>All of us are a product of the culture we are raised in, the rules and regulations that we must follow and the spoken and unspoken world views that are passed on. We see the world from our perspective and our reality, we cannot help it, it is the filter we look at life through. Sometimes without even knowing how prejudiced we are, we form our opinions from the experiences we have had and what we have watched as we were growing up. Everything comes from a place deep within us that helps us make sense of the world and the people in it.</span>

During primary ecological succession, the initial formation of soil helps establish
marusya05 [52]

Answer:Primary succession occurs in essentially lifeless areas—regions in which the soil is incapable of sustaining life as a result of such factors as lava flows, newly formed sand dunes, or rocks left from a retreating glacier. ... These grasses further modify the soil, which is then colonized by other types of plants. Places where primary succession occurs include newly exposed rock areas, sand dunes, and lava flows. Simple species that can tolerate the often- harsh environment become established first. These organisms help enrich the soil, allowing other species to become established.
