Antiviral Mechanisms

Blockers that prevent the formation of the viral replication and transcription complex target key steps in the virus life cycle, disrupting its ability to replicate.
The primary target of antivirals currently in use often includes viral enzymes or processes critical for replication.
Ribonucleoprotein complex inhibitors impede virus replication by interfering with the assembly of viral RNA and proteins, preventing the formation of functional virions.
Interferons function as signaling proteins that enhance the antiviral state of cells, stimulating immune responses and inhibiting viral replication.
Antimetabolites play a crucial role in inhibiting virus replication by mimicking nucleotide substrates, disrupting nucleic acid synthesis.

Brain Anatomy and Function

The cortex contains motor and sensory areas, along with higher centers responsible for complex processing and decision-making.
The thalamus serves as the pain center and acts as a relay station for sensory information, processing and transmitting impulses to the appropriate cortical areas.
The hypothalamus is responsible for regulating body temperature, acting as the heat regulating center.
The brainstem contains critical centers for respiration, vasomotor regulation, vomiting, vagal control, and coughing responses.
