Contrasting acute and slow-growing lesions: a new door to brain plasticity

Contrasting acute and slow-growing lesions: a new door to brain plasticity.

The concept of plasticity describes the mechanisms that rearrange cerebral organization following a brain injury. During the last century, plasticity has been mainly investigated in humans with acute strokes. It was then shown: (i) that the brain is organized into highly specialized functional areas, often designated 'eloquent' areas and (ii) that a lesion within the eloquent area gives rise to...

CARDIAC ELECTRICAL DYSFUNCTION IN ACUTE BRAIN LESIONS

This study briefly reviews the heart abnormalities in diverse intracranial pathologies, including strokes, spontaneous and traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage, and presents the results of a one-year prospective study of heart abnormalities in patients with moderate to severe head injuries and subarachnoid hemorrhage. Different abnormalities such as: QT -interval, T...

P 54: Migraine: a Brain Plasticity Response to Repetitive Stressful Occurrences

Migraine is a primary headache which is very common in the society. Although it is usually starts in a salient point in life span of an individual diagnostically, the repetition of acute stress response such as sleep abnormalities, anxiety, and depression are not new in this population. Therefore, they have had almost a long diary of these abnormalities. In order to understand the role/s of str...
