Dopamine-Synthesizing Neurons: An Overview of Their Development and Application for Cell Therapy

Cell-gene therapy is a dynamic constituent of novel medical biotechnology. Neurodegenerative disordersin which damage to or demise of specific brain cell types plays central role, are clear examples of diseasecandidate for cell replacement therapy. Dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons biosynthesize dopamine, a vitalneurotransmitter in the central nervous system. Due to the involveme...

VISUAL STIMULI ASSOCIATED WITH SWALLOWING ACTIVATE MIRROR NEURONS: AN fMRI STUDY

Background and Aim: Human brain research in recent years has demonstrated the existence of mirror neurons in Brodmann areas (BA) 44, 6, and BA40. However, there has been almost no previous research on swallowing and mirror neurons. We have investigated the activity of mirror neurons during swallowingrelated visual stimulation. Subjects and Methods: Subjects were 15 healthy individuals (6 male, ...
