Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMotor Imagery and Stroke Neurorehabilitation: An Overview of Basic Concepts and Therapeutic EffectsAmanda Lopes Abbas, Marina Fortuna Lucas, Silmar Teixeira et al.Problem statement: Motor Imagery (MI), which corresponds to an active process during which the representation of a specific action is internally reproduced into working memory without any motor output. It represents the result of conscious access to the content of a movement intention, which is usually performed unconsciously during movement preparation. Approach: This review study aims to provide information on … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 21 Jan 2012 · 7,587 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDose-Dependent Neurotoxic Effects of Monosodium Glutamate and its Potential Genetic Transmission in MiceYanan Zou, Qiong Liang, Lu Liu et al.This study aimed to preliminarily investigated the neurotoxic effects of monosodium glutamate on mice and their pups, and the potential possibility of a genetic mechanism influencing the pups. In this study, mice were given different doses of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) at doses of 2.0 or 4.0 g/kg body weight for 10 continuous days, and its impacts on both the mice … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 14 Nov 2025 · 3,031 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractBig Data and Parkinson’s Disease - from Understanding of Disease to Personalised MedicineYen F. Tai, Nicola PaveseThe advancement of information technology in recent years has generated a huge amount of datasets in all areas of scientific research. This has led to new opportunities to harness the 'Big Data' to improve our understanding of diseases - from investigating disease mechanisms to monitoring treatment responses. The Big Data approach is a data-driven and often hypothesis-free, way of studying … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 27 Jul 2016 · 7,755 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCHRONIC NEONATAL DIAZOXIDE THERAPY IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ADVERSE EFFECTSMichele M. Cox, Christopher C. Wendler, Ildiko Erdelyi et al.Diazoxide is an ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) agonist that has been shown to neuroprotective effects. These observations raise the possibility that diazoxide may have potential as a therapeutic agent for other applications. This study investigated (1) the long term effects of chronic neonatal administration of diazoxide and (2) the role of KATP on murin behavior and neurohistology. C57B/6J pups were … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2014 · 7,447 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvidence of Oxidative Stress in Autism Derived from Animal ModelsXue Ming, Michelle A. Cheh, Carrie L. Yochum et al.Autism is a pervasive neurodevelopmental disorder that leads to deficits in social interaction, communication and restricted, repetitive motor movements. Autism is a highly heritable disorder, however, there is mounting evidence to suggest that toxicant-induced oxidative stress may play a role. The focus of this article will be to review our animal model of autism and discuss our evidence that oxidative … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,115 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNeuropsychological Dysfunction among HIV Infected Drug AbusersRamani S. Durvasula, Charles H. HinkinHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) has been documented to cause direct and indirect central nervous system dysfunction that can be observed as a progressive decline in neuropsychological functioning in a large proportion of persons with HIV and AIDS. Neuropsychological decline in individuals with HIV is characterized by cognitive and motor slowing, attentional deficits, executive dysfunction and memory impairment (characterized by intact … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 7,155 accessesView PDF Cite
