Brain Gas
... Nitric oxide is a free-radical gas produced when the enzyme nitric oxide synthase (NOS, for short) converts the amino acid arginine into citruline. Unlike a traditional neurotransmitter, nitric oxide does not move unidirectionally from one cell to the next. Once produced, it spreads in an expanding ...

WHAT IS A SEIZURE?
... The hypothalamus (HI-po-THAL-uh-mus) is a small but important structure at the base of the brain. It controls many of our hormones through its influence over the pituitary gland. In turn, parts of the temporal lobe influence the hypothalamus. This connection may explain why seizures are often relate ...
