Unlike Alzheimer's disease, which shrinks the hippocampus causing progressive memory loss, white matter disease is a more diffuse mind-robbing condition that targets small blood vessels deep within the brain's white matter. The disease hardens the tiny arteries, gradually restricting nutrients to white matter -- the connections between brain regions involved in executive abilities such as planning, organizing, problem-solving, and attention.
The eye is a part of the nervous sytem, which is essentially a network of neurons that coordinate actions and transmits signals throughout the body. There are two parts to the â¦ nervous system: central and peripheral.he nervous system. Your eyes are part of your brain. The majority of. your brain surface is light-sensitive.
Within the eye there are many elements that work together with the nervous system and the eye muscles to create vision. Light flows through the cornea and the pupil of the globe (eyeball) onto the lens before it is projected onto the retina in the back of the eye.
