Synaptic activity in chronically injured, epileptogenic sensory-motor neocortex.
We recorded spontaneous and evoked synaptic currents in pyramidal neurons of layer V in chronically injured, epileptogenic neocortex to assess changes in the efficacy of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmission that might promote cortical hyperexcitability. Partial sensory-motor neocortical isolations with intact blood supply ("undercuts") were made in 20 rats on postnatal day 21-25 and exam...
متن کاملCognitive abnormalities in posttraumatic stress disorder.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The current review aims to describe and evaluate research on cognitive difficulties associated with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) published between January 2007 and June 2008. RECENT FINDINGS The reviewed studies provide additional evidence that negative appraisals and decrements on verbal and autobiographical memory tasks are exhibited by individuals with PTSD relati...
متن کاملEnhanced excitatory synaptic connectivity in layer v pyramidal neurons of chronically injured epileptogenic neocortex in rats.
Formation of new recurrent excitatory circuits after brain injuries has been hypothesized as a major factor contributing to epileptogenesis. Increases in total axonal length and the density of synaptic boutons are present in layer V pyramidal neurons of chronic partial isolations of rat neocortex, a model of posttraumatic epileptogenesis. To explore the functional consequences of these changes,...
متن کاملAltered in vitro and in vivo flumazenil binding in human epileptogenic neocortex.
In vitro and in vivo parameters of flumazenil (FMZ) binding were measured in spiking and nonspiking neocortex identified by intraoperative electrocorticography in epileptic patients who underwent cortical resection for seizure control. In vitro measures of receptor affinity (K(D)), number (Bmax) and laminar distribution for [3H]-FMZ binding in the epileptic focus (n = 38) were compared to nonsp...
متن کاملThe role of calcium channel blockers in wound healing
Wound healing is a natural response to restore the injured tissue to normal. Wound healing is also complicated process involving different cellular, molecular and biochemical mechanisms and various types of cytokines and growth factors. Calcium channel blockers belong to cardiovascular medicine and administrated to treatment of hypertension, angina and cardiac arrhythmia because of vasodilatory...
