NEUROSCIENCE FOR NEUROLOGISTS Mitochondria
Following the discovery in the early 1960s that mitochondria contain their own DNA (mtDNA), there were two major advances, both in the 1980s: the human mtDNA sequence was published in 1981, and in 1988 the first pathogenic mtDNA mutations were identified. The floodgates were opened, and the 1990s became the decade of the mitochondrial genome. There has been a change of emphasis in the first few...
متن کاملNEUROSCIENCE FOR NEUROLOGISTS Neurogenetics: single gene disorders
The advent of molecular biology has changed the way in which neurological illnesses are classified, and the single genes causing a number of disorders have been identified. In addition, techniques such as linkage analysis and DNA sequencing have resulted in greater understanding of multi-gene diseases. This review covers some of the molecular tools and animal models used for genetic analysis an...
متن کاملNEUROSCIENCE FOR NEUROLOGISTS Functional magnetic resonance imaging
Blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a powerful approach to defining activity in the healthy and diseased human brain. BOLD fMRI detects local increases in relative blood oxygenation that are most probably a direct consequence of neurotransmitter action and thus reflect local neuronal signalling. The method allows localisation to volumes of th...
متن کاملNEUROSCIENCE FOR NEUROLOGISTS Molecular pathogenesis of neuroinflammation
The past few years have seen significant progress towards understanding the mechanisms of immune surveillance and inflammation in the nervous system. In this review, the milestones of scientific discovery in this field are discussed, and the strengths and limitations of the different ways of examining the molecular pathogenesis of neuroinflammation examined. The review is limited to the inflamm...
متن کاملREVIEW: NEUROSCIENCE FOR NEUROLOGISTS Nanotechnology for neuronal ion channels
Ion channels provide the basis for the regulation of electrical excitability in the central and peripheral nervous systems. This review deals with the techniques that make the study of structure and function of single channel molecules in living cells possible. These are the patch clamp technique, which was derived from the conventional voltage clamp method and is currently being developed for ...
