Running head: FUNCTIONAL PSYCHOPATH The Recipe for the Functional Psychopath Cannon University Counseling 646 Abstract This paper will discuss the existence of the psychopath in its many forms. It will define the psychopath, discuss the subgroups, treatment possibilities, the historical and fictional examples over our history and the many contributions psychological professionals have made over the last century to the understanding of this disorder. This paper will also detail the differences in the brain structure of psychopaths, discuss how one would go about discovering a young psychopath in the making and spiritual implications of this disorder.

The membrane potential is due to the presence of an ionic concentration difference and electrical gradient between both sides of the membrane.movement of charged molecules across the cellular membrane leads to the creation of electrical signals. b. What two characteristics must a membrane possess in order to generate and maintain electrical signals critical to nervous tissue? The two traits required for electrical signal generation and maintenance is the presence of a resting membrane potentials and ionic pumps that maintain ionic concentration and electrical gradients between the two sides of the membrane. Membrane Transport Proteins 4.
3. a. Describe how there can be an electrical change on either side of a membrane thereby generating a membrane potential. The distribution of charged ions close to a neuron’s membrane determines the membrane’s electrical potential which is measured in millivolts (mV). The movement of these charged ions across the cell membrane causes a generation of a nervous signal. b.
Although there a small amount of cases of Alzheimer’s and frontotemporal dementia can be inherited from a previous generation. Vascular dementia is where the blood supply to the brain is interrupted, if there is restricted or stopped blood supply to the brain that’s when the cells being to die which results in brain damage. * Alzheimer’s disease Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, this form of the disease is the loss of cells in brain which causes the brain to shrink. The medical term for this is ‘Atrophy’. The most affected part of the brain is the Cerebral Cortex; this part
Psychology is best defined as the study of: | a. | abnormality. | | | b. | consciousness. | | | c. | social influences.
* An electrogenic pump is a transport protein that generates voltage across a membrane * Animal- sodium/potassium * Plants- proton pump Understand how a co-transporter works. Where you likely find one? Understand how large molecules and particles are transported across membranes including the role of Vesicles. What is meant by endocytosis? There are several types – what are they and how do they differ?

Alzheimer's is actually a physical disease that affects the brain. As the disease progresses, protein 'plaques' and 'tangles' develop in the structure of the brain, leading to the death of brain cells. Some symptoms can include confusion and forgetfulness, mood swings, becoming more withdrawn and having difficulty carrying out everyday activities. Rarer causes of dementia Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease – (CJD) is caused by an infectious protein in the brain called prion. Huntington's disease – this is an inherited disease causing abnormal movements and problems with coordination, together with cognitive impairment.
