Evolution, development, and plasticity of the human brain: from molecules to bones
Neuroanatomical, molecular, and paleontological evidence is examined in light of human brain evolution. The brain of extant humans differs from the brains of other primates in its overall size and organization, and differences in size and organization of specific cortical areas and subcortical structures implicated into complex cognition and social and emotional processing. The human brain is a...
متن کاملFailure to demonstrate pluripotential hemopoietic stem cells in mouse brains.
Hemopoietic stem cells as defined by the capacity to produce spleen colonies in lethally irradiated recipients were reported by P. F. Bartlett [(1982) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 79, 2722-2725] to be present in high frequencies in mouse brain. He also reported similar numbers of colony-forming units, spleen (CFU-s), in the brains of Wf/Wf mice, the bone marrow of which lacks detectable spleen co...
متن کاملEstrogen, tamoxifen, and the brain.
With the aging of the population and the increasing numbers of individuals that are being diagnosed with dementia or milder forms of cognitive dysfunction, there is heightened interest in identifying risk factors and protective factors for this important health problem. A series of recent publications (1–6) have called increased attention within the cancer community to the complaints of memory ...
متن کاملFunctional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) with auditory stimulation in songbirds.
The neurobiology of birdsong, as a model for human speech, is a pronounced area of research in behavioral neuroscience. Whereas electrophysiology and molecular approaches allow the investigation of either different stimuli on few neurons, or one stimulus in large parts of the brain, blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) allows combining both advan...
متن کاملIs Alzheimer's disease a neurodegenerative or a vascular disorder? Data, dogma, and dialectics.
The cause of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is unknown. This gap in knowledge has created a stumbling block in the search for a genuinely effective treatment or cure for this dementia. This article summarises the arguments for a causal role for either amyloid deposition or cerebrovascular pathology as the primary trigger in the development of non-genetic AD. A bare-bones survey of the published resea...
