Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Triune Brain: Limbic Mind Mind Plastic, Emotional MindFelice Corona, Francesco Perrotta, Carla CozzarelliProblem statement: The theory discussed is revealing, as compared to studies on the human brain, the fact that he has inherited the structure and organization of three fundamental types of reptiles, ancient or primitive mammals and mammals, or recent evolved. What is very disconcerting is that nature has been able to connect with each other and establish a sort of … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 15 Aug 2011 · 8,354 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleClassifying Single Trail Electroencephalogram Using Gaussian Smoothened Fast Hartley Transform for Brain Computer Interface during Motor ImageryV. B. Deepa, P. Thangaraj, S. ChitraProblem statement: Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) is a emerging research area which translates the brain signals for any motor related actions into computer understandable signals by capturing the signal, processing the signal and classifying the motor imagery. This area of work finds various applications in neuroprosthetics. Mental activity leads to changes of electrophysiological signals like the Electroencephalogram (EEG) or Electrocorticogram (ECoG). … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 6,658 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Hyperoxia on Brain Tissue Oxygen Tension in Non-Sedated, Non- Anesthetized Arctic Ground Squirrels: An Animal Model of Hyperoxic StressYilong Ma, Shufen Wu, Lawrence DuffyArctic Ground Squirrels (AGS) are classic hibernators known for their tolerance to hypoxia. AGS have been studied as a model of hypoxia with potential as a medical research model. Problem statement: Their unique resistance to the stressors of low oxygen led us to hypothesize that AGS might also be adaptable to hyperoxia. Approach: This study examined the physiological pattern associated … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2011 · 8,473 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePorcine Brain Extract Attenuates Memory Impairments Induced by Focal Cerebral IschemiaJinatta Jittiwat, Jintanaporn Wattanathorn, Terdthai Tongun et al.Problem statement: Stroke or cerebral ischemia has been recognized as one important problem worldwide. To date, the effectiveness of protective and therapeutic strategies against stroke is still very limited. Therefore, the development of novel strategy is required. Porcine brain is traditional believed to improve brain functions. Recent studies showed that the extract of porcine brain could protect against brain damage … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2009 · 14,615 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleComparison between Brain Tissue Gray and White Matters in Tension Including Necking PhenomenonSina Mehdizadeh, Mehdi Khoshgoftar, Siamak Najarian et al.Characterizing the differences between the mechanical properties of brain tissue gray and white matters is of importance in biomechanics of brain tissue and may find a variety of different applications in medicine. In this study, a comparison has been made between mechanical behavior of bovine brain tissue white and gray matters. Through a linear elastic theory and using Bridgman method, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEnhancing P300 Component by Spectral Power Ratio Principal Components for a Single Trial Brain-Computer InterfaceS. Andrews, Ramaswamy Palaniappan, Andrew Teoh, Loo chu KiongHere we present a novel approach to detect P300 wave in single trial Visual Event Related Potential (VERP) signals using improved principal component analysis to enable a faster brain-computer interface (BCI) design. In the process, the principal components (PCs) are selected using novel methods, namely spectral power ratio (SPR) and sandwich spectral power ratio (SSPR). We set out to assess … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,881 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleNeuroprotection Afforded by GABA Against Oxygen-Glucose Deprivation-Induced Injury in Rat Cortical Brain Slices: An Hormetic Dose-Response EffectLorenzo Ricci, Massimo Valoti, Giampietro Sgaragli, Maria FrosiniThe aim of the present investigation was to assess neuroprotection exerted by GABA (100 nM-100 mM) in rat cortical brain slices subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation and reoxygenation. Neuronal injury and neuroprotection were assessed by measuring the release of glutamate and lactate dehydrogenase and tissue water content. Results demonstrate that GABA exerted neuroprotective effects according to a U-shaped, hormetic-like, concentration-response curve, … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,166 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Relationship Between Location and Prognosis in Brain-Stem TumorsN. Fayed, P. J. Modrego, J. EirasThe objective of this study was to establish a correlation between histopathology and radiological characteristics as well as location of brain stem tumors. Results of therapy were also analysed in relation to the radiological characteristics. Forty four patients were evaluated from a clinical and neuroradiological viewpoint (CT and MRI). In 14 of them we ruled out a surgical therapy. However … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOpiates Upregulate Adhesion Molecule Expression in Brain MicroVascular Endothelial Cells (BMVEC): Implications for Altered Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) PermeabilityMadhavan P.N. Nair, Supriya D. Mahajan, Jessica L. ReynoldsThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an intricate cellular system composed of vascular endothelial cells and perivascular astrocytes that restrict the passage of immunocompetent cells into the central nervous system (CNS). Expression of the adhesion molecules, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) on brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVEC) and their interaction with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,610 accessesView PDFCite
