Intracerebral neural implants: neuronal replacement and reconstruction of damaged circuitries.
Neural grafting has emerged over the last decade as a viable approach to studying the development and regeneration of neuronal connections in the CNS of mammals. In this review we focus on one particular aspect of this technique: the use of intracerebral neural implants for the reestablishment of severed connections, the substitution of lost pathways, and the replacement of tissue defects in th...
متن کاملAssociative Memory in Damaged Neural Networks
The content-addressability of random patterns stored in neural networks trained with iterative learning rules is studied numerically under the eeects of synaptic damage. The model of damage is random dilution of couplings with some probability after learning. A simple model based on the distribution of stabilities () is proposed, which allows for the calculation of the storage and retrieval pro...
متن کاملEffects of Biodegradable Polymers on the Rat's Damaged Spinal Cord Neural Membranes
The overall goal of this study was to identify the appropriate biomaterials able to facilitate the regeneration in rat's injured adult spinal cord. Acute damage to axons is manifested as a breach in their membranes, ionexchange distortion across the compromised region, local depolarization and even conduction block. It would be of particular importance to interrupt the progress of events h...
متن کاملHydrogels as a Replacement Material for Damaged Articular Hyaline Cartilage
Hyaline cartilage is a strong durable material that lubricates joint movement. Due to its avascular structure, cartilage has a poor self-healing ability, thus, a challenge in joint recovery. When severely damaged, cartilage may need to be replaced. However, currently we are unable to replicate the hyaline cartilage, and as such, alternative materials with considerably different properties are u...
متن کاملIntraretinal Transplantation for Rod-Cell Replacement in Light-Damaged Retinas
Blindness from retinal disease is often the consequence of extensive damage to the photoreceptor cell population, while other cell types which form the neural retina are relatively spared. In this setting, transplantation of photoreceptor cells could offer hope for the restoration of some degree of visual function. We tested the feasibility of this approach by transplanting immature retinal cel...
