Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Review Study of Brain Activity-Based Biometric AuthenticationAla Abdulhakim Alariki, Abdul Wasi Ibrahimi, Mohammad Wardak, John WallBiometrics is the process of identifying an individual among others by biological means. Concerning security, biometric system is one of the best options available in this technology driven era. Places such as nuclear facilities, airports, banks etc. are on the frontline of security threats. Therefore, biometrics such as Iris, face and fingerprint recognition is frequently used to avoid any security … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 27 Jan 2018 · 9,471 accessesView PDFCite
HypothesisOpen accessEvery word in the titleIncreased Tissue Pressure Induces Demyelinated Lesions and Necroses in the BrainHelmut Barz, Ulrich Barz, Almut SchreiberA general brain edema increases the size of the brain tissue and stretches the elastic neuronal and glial fibers. Myelinated fibers are more elastic than unmyelinated fibers. The stretching of the neuronal fibers leads particular in regions of the white matter or areas surrounded by myelinated fiber tracts to an increased tissue pressure. This physical principle can be the reason … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2015 · 7,424 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA HYBRID FIREFLY ALGORITHM WITH FUZZY-C MEAN ALGORITHM FOR MRI BRAIN SEGMENTATIONMutasem K. AlsmadiImage processing is one of the essential tasks to extract suspicious region and robust features from the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). A numbers of the segmentation algorithms were developed in order to satisfy and increasing the accuracy of brain tumor detection. In the medical image processing brain image segmentation is considered as a complex and challenging part. Fuzzy c-means is … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 10 Sep 2014 · 8,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCOMPUTER AIDED SEGMENTATION OF BRAIN TISSUES USING SOFT COMPUTING TECHNIQUESD. Ramkumar, I. Jacob Raglend, K. BatriIn this study, an efficient computer aided classification of brain tissue in to Gray Matter (GM), White Matter (WM) and Cerebro-Spinal Fluid (CSF) is proposed. The proposed work consists of the following sub blocks like denosing, feature extraction and Classifier. This initial partition is performed by ANFIS after extracting the textural features like local binary pattern and histogram features. The … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 6 · 17 Apr 2014 · 6,662 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSelenium Effect on Hyperoxia-Induced Glutathione Peroxidase Activity and Free Radicals Production in the BrainIsmaeel Bin-JaliahThe purpose of this study was to examine the behavior of Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx) activity and Free Radicals (FR) production in the brain during graded hyperoxia exposure with and without selenium preventive intake. Forty two adult male rats were assigned to seven groups, six animals each. The first group served as control and the second, third and fourth groups were … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 7 Dec 2013 · 6,745 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStem Cells in Traumatic Brain InjurySamuel Dobrowolski, Guilherme LepskiTraumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a devastating clinical condition that often causes permanent incapacity, especially in the younger population. The clinical relevant of TBI justifies the scientific interest in the pathophysiology of TBI, as well as in protective effects and development of treatment options. Stem cells have the ability to induce neuroprotection and neural repair inflammatory suppression, causing tissue reconstruction … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 12 Apr 2013 · 7,564 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleBispectral Analysis of Scalp Electroencephalograms: Quadratic Phasecoupling Phenomenon in Detecting Brain TumorV. Salai Selvam, S. ShenbagadeviSince the power spectral analysis of a non-Gaussian process generated by a nonlinear mechanism e.g., EEG, does not provide much information on the underlying nonlinear dynamics due to the lack of phase information, the higher-order statistics such as the bispectra are used to better understand the underlying nonlinear dynamics e.g., the quadratic phase coupling phenomena. The quadratic phase couplings have … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 27 Mar 2013 · 6,537 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTrace Elements Distribution in the Brain of Stressed RatsZerrouk Kamal, Mohamed Najimi, Mohammed Chigr et al.Because of their ability to modulate the Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) a receptor complex, the principal aim of the current work is to assess two essential heavy metals: Iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) by atomic absorption in different brain areas of stressed rats. To do so, we investigated the effect of acute immobilization stress (single 1-hour session) on the distribution … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 14 Sep 2012 · 7,277 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMoringa Oleifera Lam Mitigates Oxidative Damage and Brain Infarct Volume in Focal Cerebral IschemiaWoranan Kirisattayakul, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Terdthai Tong-Un et al.Problem statement: At present, the therapeutic outcome of cerebral ischemia is still not in the satisfaction level. Therefore, the preventive strategy is considered. Based on the protective effect against oxidative damage of Moringa oleifera Lam. Leaves extract, we hypothesized that this plant extract might protect against cerebral ischemia, one of the challenge problems nowadays. In order to test this hypothesis, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 9 · 3 Aug 2012 · 7,574 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNeuroprotective Effect against Alzheimer's Disease of Porcine Brain ExtractWipawee Thukham-Mee, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Supaporn Muchimapura, Chuleratana BunchonglikitkulProblem statement: Despite the increasing importance of Alzheimer’s disease, no effective therapeutic strategy is available. Therefore, neuroprotective strategy is still required. Recent findings show that numerous substances possessing antioxidant can improve neurodegeneration and memory impairment. Based on the antioxidant effect and its reputation to serve as brain tonic in traditional folklore, we hypothesized that porcine brain extract could mitigate neurodegeneration … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 5 Mar 2012 · 8,243 accessesView PDFCite
