Cerebral metabolic rate in hypercapnia: controversy continues.

Thirty years ago, a publication by Seisjo, entitled ‘Cerebral metabolic rate in hypercarbia—a controversy’ summarized the current state of knowledge related to the influence of hypercapnia (increased pCO2) on cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (CMRO2) (Siesjo, 1980). Seisjo quoted a number of papers that provided controversial results ranging from reduced, to unchanged, to increased ...

Cerebral venous thrombosis: another heparin controversy.

R esults from clinical studies and advances in radiological diagnosis during the past 20 years have significantly altered the management of patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), with resultant improvement in overall prognosis and decreased mortality. Although the efficacy of anticoagulation in CVT has not been unequivocally proven, it is widely used as the mainstay therapy. There is a...

The projection of the lateral geniculate nucleus to area 17 of the rat cerebral cortex. IV. Terminations upon spiny dendrites.

The forms of the spiny dendrites in layer IV receiving degenerating thalamocortical axon terminals have been examined in serial thin sections. Reconstructions of segments of these dendrites show that the axon terminals synapse with both the dendritic spines and the dendritic shafts. No main shafts of apical dendrites of pyramidal neurons were found to synapse with the thalamic afferents, which ...
