Homeostatic control of brain function – new approaches to understand epileptogenesis
Neuronal excitability of the brain and ongoing homeostasis depend not only on intrinsic neuronal properties, but also on external environmental factors; together these determine the functionality of neuronal networks. Homeostatic factors become critically important during epileptogenesis, a process that involves complex disruption of self-regulatory mechanisms. Here we focus on the bioenergetic...
متن کاملBrain Volume Estimation Enhancement by Morphological Image Processing Tools
Background: Volume estimation of brain is important for many neurological applications. It is necessary in measuring brain growth and changes in brain in normal/abnormal patients. Thus, accurate brain volume measurement is very important. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the method of choice for volume quantification due to excellent levels of image resolution and between-tissue contrast. St...
متن کاملSun Proteins Enlighten Nuclear Movement in Development
Regulation of nuclear movement is a critical event in neurogenesis and neuronal migration during brain development. In this issue of Neuron, Zhang et al. identify a role for SUN and the KASH-domain-containing nuclear membrane proteins as the long-sought linker between microtubules and the nucleus during brain development.
متن کاملToward new theories of brain function and brain dynamics.
‘During the ‘decade of the brain’ brain science is coming to terms with its ultimate problem: understanding the mechanisms by which the immense number of neurons in the human brain interact to Ž produce the higher cognitive functions’ Freeman, . 1998 . As one of the candidate mechanisms, oscillatory neuroelectric actï ity has recently attracted much interest. Since the pioneering work by Lord A...
