seizure activity has been proposed to result in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ros), which then contribute to seizure-induced neuronal damage and eventually cell death. although the mechanisms of seizure-induced ros generation are unclear, mitochondria and cellular calcium overload have been proposed to have a crucial role. we aim to determine the sources of seizure-induced ros and ...

introduction: there are several different molecular pathways in tissue damage by ischemic brain injury. the use of antioxidants and free radical scavengers are a matter of attention by some researchers. crocus sativus (saffron) is used previously for protective effects in ischemia state by some researchers. to assess pathologic aspects of neuroprotection of saffron in some susceptible brain are...

purpose: the cognitive domains are assessed by cognitive tests and these assessments are different between man and woman in every test, this study assessed brain function by cognitive domains among men and women. methods : a cross-sectional study was done on a sample of 15 to 75 years old of 80 female and 80 male. all participants did neuro-cognitive computer battery (nccb) after training and c...

conclusions the results of the current study suggested that spinal anesthesia plus intravenous patient-controlled analgesia have the most favorable cardiac effects regarding postoperative levels of pro-bnp. results there was no difference between three groups for basic characteristics and variables and baseline pro-bnp levels; however, postoperative pro-bnp levels in groups a, b, and c were res...

g20 world brain mapping initiative (neuroscience/n-20) is putting brain mapping on the top of global economic issues the society for brain mapping, therapeutics, and brain mapping foundation are propelling therapeutic advances in nano-neurosurgery, nano-bio-electronics, artificial intelligence, neuro-supercomputing and ‘cross-pollination’ among the bio-medical sciences and engineering worldwide...

conceptually traumatic brain injury (tbi) can be classified from a mechanistic perspective as: 1) closed, 2) penetrating, 3) blast, and 4) crush injuries. thus, tbi is a heterogeneous disease and each type of brain injury has different characteristic features often necessitating different approaches to management. the first edition of the guidelines for management and prognosis of penetrating b...
