the purpose of this study was to investigate the brain activation patterns in response to thehuman color preference by using a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fmri). a total of 31 healthyhumans without color blindness were participated in this study. the brain activation was induced by viewingof eight different colors: black, gray, blue, green, earthy yellow, red, yellow and white. the q...

Introduction: Military missions involve stressful and life-threatening situations; however, soldiers should have a healthy cognition on the battlefield despite their high-stress levels. This is an ability that should be gained during prior military training. Successful and influential training is suggested to be associated with structural and functional improvements of the brain. Methods: This...

objective(s):melatonin is known as an anti-inflammatory agent, and it has been proven to exert neuroprotection through inhibition of cell death (apoptosis) in several models of brain injury.secondary injury following the primary traumatic brain injury (tbi) results in glial cells activation, especially astrocytes. in fact, astrocyte activation causes the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines...

background: alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia which is still difficult to be differentiated from other types of brain disorders. moreover, mild cognitive impairment refers to the presence of cognitive impairments that is not severe enough to meet the criteria of alzheimer's, and its diagnosis in early stages is so critical. there is currently no distinct method available f...

Neuroinflammation as a protective mechanism for repairing tissue damage in the central nervous system (CNS), has been classified into two types: acute and chronic. It is characterized by the activation of microglia and astrocytes and the increase levels of different chemokines and cytokines. Neuroinflammation can be harmful, and it is a common pathological feature in neurodegenerative and psych...

autism spectrum disorder (asd) is a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by great difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with others and using language. in the last four decades many studies have shown that immune responses in different regions of brain play an important role in asd pathogenicity. a conservative estimate based on the research suggests tha...
