The Amazon is home to important wildlife and a biodiversity hotspot of global importance. The ancestral knowledge kept by Indigenous communities about its fauna and flora contributes further to its irreplaceable value. The Peruvian Amazon was heavily struck by the COVID-19 epidemic with a cumulative incidence of 725, a mortality rate of 34 per 100,000 inhabitants, and a case fatality rate of 4.6% by the end of July 2020. In this work, we review scientific literature and media to trace the events that happened at the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic in the Peruvian Amazon. Results are synthesized in three observations: (1) the evolution of the COVID-19 epidemic within the Peruvian Amazon and the response of the Peruvian health care system, (2) Confusing information about Ivermectin use for COVID-19 treatment and prevalent self-medication (3) The response of the traditional Indigenous he...

The sleep as a physiological state, is essential for human life and the processes of sleep and learning are essential for the consolidation of memory. This document aims to present a brief review about sleep and its relationship with learning, from the perspective of neuroscience. The first part of the paper provides a description of the stages of sleep and which are the brain structures involved in controlling them. A brief description of the sleep process in neurophysiological activities (immune system, cardiovascular system and endocrine system) is presented. The learning is related to the changes that occur in the individual at the neuronal, cognitive and behavioral level as a result of the exchange of experiences and stimuli, finally seeking the adaptation with their surroundings. Linked to learning is the memory, ability to acquire, retain, store and evoke these exchanges with the ...

El ritmo circadiano dura 24 horas en el cual están inmersas las horas de vigilia y sueño. El sueño es un estado fisiológico imprescindible para la calidad de vida en particular para el ser humano, igualmente para los procesos cognitivos como el aprendizaje; uno de los aspectos relevantes de esta consideración es la consolidación de la memoria de largo plazo. Presentamos, desde la perspectiva de la neurociencia, una revisión acerca del sueño y su relación con el aprendizaje y la calidad de vida. Luego se desarrolla la relación entre las estructuras sistémicas y las actividades neurofisiológicas, las cuales determinan o coadyuvan al logro de una buena calidad de vida. También nos referimos a los procesos de aprendizaje y su relación con el individuo (a nivel neuronal, cognitivo y conductual) como resultado de la interacción de éste con su entorno a través de las experienci...
