introduction: huntington disease (hd) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease which affects movement control system of the brain. hd symptoms lead to patient’s gait change and influence stride time intervals. in this study, we present a grey box mathematical model to simulate hddisorders. this model contains main physiological findings about bg. methods: we used artificial neural networks (a...

Neurotransmitters are also involved in functions other than conventional signal transfer between nerve cells, such as development, plasticity, neurodegeneration, and neuroprotection. For example, there is a considerable amount of data indicating developmental roles for the glutamatergic, cholinergic, dopaminergic, GABA-ergic, and ATP/adenosine systems. In this review, we discuss the existing li...

Neurotransmitters have become such an intrinsic part of our theories about brain function that many today are unaware of how difficult it was to prove their existence or the protracted dispute over the nature of synaptic transmission. The story is important not only because it is fascinating science history, but also because it exemplifies much of what is best in science and deserving to be emu...

Abstract Objective Phenylketonuria (PKU) is caused by a specific mutation of the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene. The deficiency PAH results in high levels (Phe), low tyrosine (Tyr), and reduced catecholamine neurotransmitters. majority PKU patients, if untreated, develop severe mental retardation. contribution Phe Tyr retardation largely unknown. In this study, we used organic hippocampal...
