The first sign of tetanus is lockjaw (trismus), followed by stiffness of the neck and back, risus sardonicus, difficulty swallowing, and muscle rigidity in the abdomen. The stiffne ...

| | | | | neurotoxin: Encyclopedia II - Fugu - Consumption Fugu has been consumed in Japan for a long time, although its historic origins is unclear. Bones of fugu have been found in several shell mounds called kaizuka that date back more than 2000 years. The Tokugawa shogunate (1603-1868) prohibited the consumption of fugu in Edo and its area of influence, yet it became common again as the power of the shogunate weakened. In Western regions of Japan, where the influence of the Government was weaker and fugu was easier to obtain, various cooking methods were developed to safely eat these fish ...

Tetrodotoxin - History.
The first recorded cases of tetrodotoxin poisoning were from the logs of Captain James Cook. He recorded his crew eating some local tropic fish (pufferfish), then feeding the remains to the pigs kept on board. The crew experienced numbness and shortness of breath, while the pigs were all found dead the next morning. In hindsight, it is clear that the crew received a mild dose of tetrodotoxin, while the pigs ate the pufferfish body parts that contain most of the toxin, thus killing them.
The toxin was first isolated in 1909.

| | | | | | neurotoxin: Encyclopedia II - Cycad - Introduction & overview Cycads are found across much of the subtropical and tropical parts of the world. They are found in South and Central America (where the greatest diversity occurs), Australia, the Pacific Islands, Japan, China, India, Madagascar, and southern and tropical Africa, where at least 65 species occur. Some are renowned for survival in harsh semi-desert climates, and can grow in sand or even on rock. They are able to grow in full sun or shade, and some are salt tolerant. Though they are a minor component of the plant kingdom today, during the Jurassic period they w ...

According to the most recent consensus, Class Aves and a sister group, the family Crocodylidae, together form a group of unnamed rank, the Archosauria.
The class of birds separated early into two superorders, the Paleognathae (mostly flightless birds like ostriches), and the wildly diverse Neognatha ...

Vincent van Gogh - Birth and early life.
Vincent Willem van Gogh was born in Zundert in the Province of Brabant, a province of the Netherlands, the son of Anna Cornelia Carbentus and Theodorus van Gogh, a Protestant minister. Van Gogh found his father's profession appealing and would be drawn to it later in his life. As a child, Vincent was serious, silent and thoughtful. In 1852, exactly one year before van Gogh was born, his first brother, also named Vincent Willem, was born and died the same day. Four years af ...

| | | | | neurotoxin: Encyclopedia II - Dave Weldon - Statement on mercury exposure Statement of U.S. Congressman Dave Weldon, MD, December 9, 2004
As a practicing physician and a Member of Congress, I have been increasingly alarmed by mounting evidence over the past several years suggesting a relationship between mercury exposure in newborns and the rising epidemic of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), including Autism. Mercury is a known neurotoxin. It does not take a great leap of faith to believe that even low exposures to mercury at a critical stage of neur ...

| | | | | neurotoxin: Encyclopedia II - Tetanus - Symptoms The incubation period for tetanus is 3 days to as long as 15 weeks (with the average being about 8 days) [2]. For neonates, the incubation period is 4 to 14 days, with 7 days being the average. Most of the time, the further the wound is from the central nervous system, the longer the incubation period. Incubation period length and likelihood of death are inversely proportional; a deep, contaminated wound that allows the bacteria to flourish and causes a quick, aggressive infection is much more life-threatening than a shallower, less-contaminated wound that causes milder sym ...

| | | | | neurotoxin: Encyclopedia II - Alkane - Molecular geometry The molecular structure of the alkanes directly affects their physical and chemical characteristics. It is derived from the electron configuration of carbon, which has four valence electrons. The carbon atoms in alkanes are always sp3-hybridised, that is to say that the valence electrons are said to be in four equivalent orbitals derived from the combination of the 2s-orbital and the three 2p-orbitals. These orbitals, which have identical energies, are arranged spatially in the form of a tetrahedron, the angle of 109.47° between them.

| | | | | | | | neurotoxin: Encyclopedia II - Conium - Socrates The most famous victim of hemlock poisoning is probably Socrates. After being condemned to death for impiety in 399 BC, Socrates was given a potent solution of the hemlock plant. Plato described Socrates' death in Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Phaedo.
He walked about and, when he said his legs were heavy, lay down on his back, for such was the advice of the attendant. The man who had administered the poison laid his hands on him and after a while examined his feet and legs, then pinched his foot hard and asked if he felt it. He sa ...

Specifically, birds are members of Maniraptora, a group of theropods which includes dromaeosaurs and oviraptorids, among others. As more non-avian theropods that are closely related to birds are discovered, the formerly clear distinction between non-birds and birds becomes less so. Recent discoveries in North-east China (Liaoning Province) demonstrating that many small theropod dinosaurs had feat ...

Headcrab - Physical description.
Although small, slow-moving, and relatively weak on its own, the headcrab has the ability to quickly leap long distances using its hind legs, while tilting upwards to face its mouth towards a target, inflicting minor injury with its claws, legs, and teeth. Its main goal, however, is to attach itself onto an appropriate host body.
Headcrabs are often heard making a variety of vocalisations. When they are not hunting, headcrabs usually emit squeaks and fairly quiet, repetitiv ...

| | | | | | neurotoxin: Encyclopedia II - Headcrab - Half-Life 2 headcrab variations New to Half-Life 2 are two previously unseen varieties of headcrabs.
The first variation is known as a fast headcrab, having longer, thinner, almost spider-like legs, which allows it move much faster, as well as sharper talons in and around its mouth. This type appears to produce leaner zombies, stripped of their outer skin and some body tissue (revealing large parts of the victim's skeleton) along with the standard elongated claws. These zombies are astonishingly fast, ag ...

| | | | | neurotoxin: Encyclopedia II - Vincent van Gogh - Pronunciation "Van Gogh" (IPA: /fɑn xɔx/) is often pronounced in a completely different way from the original Dutch (particularly in the USA), something which can leave listeners confused as to who the speaker is talking about.
The Dutch pronunciation of "van" is like the English word "vaughn".
The Dutch pronunciation of "Gogh" starts and ends with a similar consonant sound to the Scottish word "loch", and also has a similar vowel sound.
