The purpose of an IEP is to meet the child's needs based on the child's development rather than predetermined expectations based on grade level. The IEP takes both strengths and challenges into consideration, using a child's strengths to improve his or her challenges.
In the present study, the effect of body temperature on this acute decrease of tryptophan hydroxylase activity was examined. 2 h after a single dose of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (20 mg/kg, s.c.), rats exhibited hyperthermia (38.7) or hypothermia (35.8) when maintained at 25 or 6, respectively.n conclusion, lowering body temperature protects against the immediate decrease in tryptophan hydroxylase activity induced by 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, suggesting that hyperthermia plays a prominent role in the acute as well as the long-term decrease in enzyme activity.
In healthy people, both sleepiness and vigilance show a relationship with core body temperature and skin temperature. When core body temperature is high during the daytime, skin temperature is low, which translates into optimal vigilance. Conversely, when core body temperature is low at night time, skin temperature is high, which correlates to optimal sleep. Among those suffering from narcolepsy, however, direct manipulations of their skin and core body temperatures affect their vigilance and sleepiness, according to a new study.
