How does the human mind store data? Essentially, the brain is able to store information by the strengthening and weakening of synapses - Synaptic plasticity. Data can also be stored by changing the very shape of the synapse itself, or synapsing with new neurons and forming new connections.

Causes Abscess - Causes. Most abscesses are caused by an infection with staphylococcal bacteria. When bacteria enter the body, the immune system sends white blood cells to fight the infection. This causes swelling (inflammation) at the site of infection and the death of nearby tissue. A cavity is created, which fills with pus to form an abscess.

- It’s been estimated around 50-60% of laminitis cases are pasture related. A possible cause are fructans, which are carbohydrate molecules used by plants to store energy. Horses can’t digest fructans so they ferment in the gut, releasing toxins which can lead to colic and laminitis.

Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM) EPM is a debilitating neurologic disease in horses caused by protozoa. The opossum is the definitive host that fecally sheds infective Sarcocystis neurona. In areas where opossums and horses coexist, ~50% of horses are seropositive for S. neurona. EPM is also caused by Neospora hughesi, and, although the source is uncertain, N. hughesi has been identified in horses from across the United States.

Parts of the large and small intestine can become trapped in parts of the abdomen involving organs such as the kidneys and spleen.

What Causes Colic? Impaction Colic. Impaction colic can happen more commonly during the winter months when horses or ponies are fed hay and have only frigid water to drink. The combination of dry feed and dehydration can be disastrous. Because the horses don't drink enough water the food forms an obstruction in the intestine. A horse that eats its bedding or accidentally gorges on grain can suffer from impaction colic. (Over eating grain or fruit can also cause laminitis or 'founder'.)

- on Tuesday, 05 March 2013. Posted in Equine general medicine. Often referred to as pearls or gut rocks, enteroliths are a phenomeon in horses, that can cause colic. When horses ingest a particle that it can't fully digest, the horse's body forms an enterolith in an attempt to protect itself. Particles that cause enteroliths can be anything from string to pebbles. However, recently, Dr. Hughes encountered a case where a horse had a horse shoe nail embedded in an enterolith.

Skin problems & treatments guide Abscess causes. Abscesses are caused by obstruction of oil-producing (sebaceous) glands or sweat glands, inflammation of hair follicles, or from minor breaks and punctures of the skin. Germs (bacteria) get under the skin or into these glands, which causes an inflammatory response as your body's defences try to kill the bacteria. As they develop, the middle of the abscess liquefies and contains dead cells, bacteria, and other debris.
