چکیده
Nyberg F. Structural plasticity of the brain to psychostimulant use. Neuropharmacology. 2014; 87:115-124. Beroendeframkallande droger som de centrakstimulerande amfetamin, kokain, ecstasy, metyfenidater och även nikotin bidrar till förändringar i olika beteenden men också i hjärnans kemi och stuktur. De har vistas orsaka långvarig påverkan på nervcellernas dendriter och strukturer I regioner som är sammankopplade med beteenden som är typiska för drogsug och drogberoende. Denna artikel beskriver betydelsen av centralstimulantia på hjärnans plasticitet I områden som som är relevanta för substansberoende.

Effects of Epidermal Growth Factor on Adult Neural Stem Cells
In the adult brain neural stem cells are present in two discrete regions; the hippocampus and the subventricular zone (SVZ). The environment surrounding the stem and progenitor cells, the neurogenic niche, is integral for proper stem cell development and proliferation. Manipulation of the neurogenic niche provides possibilities in regenerative therapy and modeling of diseases. Epidermal growth ...
متن کاملInduced Expression of the Cytoskeleton Linker Protein Radixin in the Adult Brain
Neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs) proliferate throughout life in two regions of the brain, namely the subventricular zone (SVZ) of the lateral ventricles and the subgranular zone of dentate gyrus in the hippocampus. In the adult SVZ, NSPCs give rise to neuroblasts that leave the SVZ for long distance migration along the rostral migratory stream (RMS), on their way to the olfactory bulb w...
متن کاملAdministration of morphine and/or cocaine modulates the expression levels of genes related to plasticity mechanisms in rat hippocampus
Drugs of abuse regulate the expression of several genes involved in receptor regulation and signalling, transcription factors and cytoskeleton proteins. Due to its implication in long-term memory consolidation, rat hippocampus was selected to identify genes that are differently regulated by morphine and/or cocaine administration. The animals were randomly separated into four groups given saline...
متن کاملThe involvement of degradation pathways and neuron-to-neuron transmission in Alzheimer’s disease
Although the vast majority of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) cases are of the sporadic type, mutations causing the familial form have been the focus of AD research for decades. The disease is pathologically characterised by β-amyloid (Aβ) and tau protein aggregates in neuritic plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Furthermore, it is known that AD pathology spreads throughout the brain, most often alon...
متن کاملAdvanced MRI Data Processing
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a very versatile imaging modality which can be used to acquire several different types of images. Some examples include anatomical images, images showing local brain activation and images depicting different types of pathologies. Brain activation is detected by means of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This is useful e.g. in planning of neurosurg...
