p n a he primary goals of brain tumor imaging are lesion detection, localization, delineation of extent, and characerization. This information is used to formulate an approprite differential diagnosis that is extremely helpful for the eferring neuro-surgeons and the neuro-oncologists.1,2 In adition, imaging studies play a vital role in therapy planning, uch as stereotactic location for surgery ...

According to the multiprocess framework (McDaniel and Einstein, 2000), the cognitive system can support prospective memory (PM) retrieval through two general pathways. One pathway depends on top-down attentional control processes that maintain activation of the intention and/or monitor the environment for the triggering or target cues that indicate that the intention should be executed. A secon...

This case report is a detailed description of the clinical, laboratory, imaging and therapeutic characteristics of the sixth patient with neuro-Behçet's disease reported by Bulgarian authors. The diagnosis was made in accordance with the international diagnostic criteria for Behçet's disease and was verified by skin biopsy. Therapeutic response was followed up by clinical and magnetic resonance...

Three techniques for staining the secretory neurones in sections were applied directly to the whole brain and/or intact organs of the neuro-endocrine system of certain insects, and the whole brain of various invertebrates and vertebrates. After minor changes in the original procedures, in situ staining was achieved in those components of the neuro-endocrine system that are known to contain the ...

Though stress is an integrated part of the modern life, defining stress in biological systems is difficult. Anxiety, medication, metabolic disorder, neuro-endocrinological abnormalities, immunological responses, neuro-immune interaction and several other internal and external factors are important which induce stress and pain in higher organisms. Stress and pain are often synonymous and overlap...

Chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) results in an accelerated trajectory of several cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and related aging characteristics, however the molecular mechanisms that are activated have not been explored. Adipokines and leptin signaling are known to play a critical role in neuro-endocrine regulation of energy metabolism, and are now implicated in central inflammator...

In his seminal paper, Rowland clearly outlined the rationale, evidence, and implications for the biological control of physical activity. Ten years later, there has been some progress in this area related to childhood physical activity with perhaps the greatest progress being made in the areas of genetics and the neuroendocrinology of physical activity. It is clear that heredity contributes to ...
