Structure and function of the cerebral cortex
Do all meerkats help equally? No, research has shown that the amount of help provided typically depends on the ability to help: well-fed individuals are more likely to expend energy for the benefit of others. But this is not to say that meerkats simply help indiscriminately. Female helpers, for example, preferentially feed female pups — probably because these pups, being the philopatric sex, re...
متن کاملLocalization of function in the cerebral cortex.
At a famous meeting of the International Medical Congress held in London on August 4,1881 Goltz of Strassburg (as it was then spelt) confronted Ferrier of London on the subject of the localization of function in the cerebral cortex. In the first part of this paper the events of that meeting are recalled. Goltz was reluctant to accept the idea of localization because of the restitution of functi...
متن کاملCerebral cortex: Function and development
"Structure et Function dans le Systeme Visuel" was the title given to the first Institut National de la Sante et de la Recherche Medicale (INSERM) symposium held on this topic in Lyon in September 1986. Nine years later, its successor was held in the same place. What has changed? Well, the Salle Moliere has had a face-lift, and it would be difficult to think of a finer venue for a meeting of ab...
متن کاملStereological study of the cerebral and cerebellar cortex following short time exposure to morphine in rats
Drug abuse has been claimed to cause the loss of neurons and reduction of volume in both the adult and developing brain. This study examined cortex volumes in cerebrum and cerebellum of male rats that were dependent on morphine using unbiased stereological counting methods and systematic random sampling technique. Our goal was to test whether short time exposure to morphine can affect the corte...
متن کاملEffect of paraoxon on the synaptosomal GABA uptake in rat hippocampus and cerebral cortex
Introduction: Paraoxon (the neurotoxic metabolite of organophosphorus (OP) insecticide, parathion) exerts acute toxicity by inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE), leading to the accumulation of acetylcholine in cholinergic synapses and hence overstimulation of the cholinergic system. Since, reports on changes in the level of γ- amino butyric acid (GABA) during OP-induced convulsion have bee...
