Referral not needed: Testing will not change the treatment if you have Covid. Since there is no medication yet for Covid-19 except in severe cases where the patient is hospitalized, you should stay home, isolate and use Acetaminophen for Headache/body pain, drink lots of fluids, and get lots of rest. See a Dr if you have difficulty breathing, persistent chest pain, blue lips, low oxygen or new onset confusion.

Rather horrendous situation.

Accepted Answer

Brain &amp; spinal cord: Motor neurons provide connections for motor pathways which eventuate in our ability to move our muscles, walk and balance, and actively physically interact with our environment.  This is simplistic as other nerve cells help refine and modulate all of these activities in a balanced fashion.

Question 10

is it true that neurons that fire together wire together?

Accepted Answer

?????????????????/: Your question makes little sense. Of course neurons are like wires and when all are stimulated simultaneously they will all fire. The intricate nature of the nervous system includes directed stimulation of separate wiring (neurons) for separate issues as the need arises. If they all fire together you have a malfunction. (like a seizure)
