The outbreak of Covid-19 has become a serious threat to global health. At the time of writing, over 250 million cases and 5 million deaths have been reported worldwide. Canada, like much of the world, is experiencing ...
Research has indicated that expressive aphasia results from left frontal lobe dysfunction, whereas expressive aprosodia has resulted from right frontal lobe dysfunction. The neuroanatomical localization of nonfluent aphasia has been investigated using numerous different neuroimaging procedures, such as computerized ...
Traditionally, brain asymmetry has been demonstrated using behavioral measures of laterality. Foremost among these measures has been the evidence for language lateralization to the left hemisphere [14]. The left and right cerebral hemispheres also appear to differ in their parasympathetic ...
Development of a few but relevant connections is crucial for the proper functioning of the early hippocampus. Unnecessary and redundant sprouting can result in excessive activity leading to the anxiety-like behavior later in life. Aberrant connections observed in the female mice lacking 5-HT1A- receptor ...
Topiramate is a wide spectral antiepileptic agent with multiple mechanism of action effective on epilepsy, migraine, pain syndromes, and several movement disorders. As well as the most common side-effects including nausea, weight loss, fatigue, psychomotor slowing, renal calculi ...
Initial evaluation of intrafraction motion in patients with intracranial targets treated with frameless, mask based stereotactic radio surgery (SRS) using 6D-skull tracking on CyberKnife. ...
Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain characterized by a predisposition to produce lasting seizures. For diagnosis, imaging methods and specifically magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been used. Therefore, the aim of this research was to gather information about possible changes in brain tissue observed using MRI. ...
Enteral (duodenal or jejunal) levodopa-carbidopa gel infusion is increasingly used for the treatment of patients with fluctuating advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). It has been argued that delayed and inconsistent gastric emptying cause erratic absorption of oral levodopa and may play a role in the loss ...
The field of neuropsychology has made significant gains regarding the development and implementation of diagnostic measures and assessment techniques for frontal lobe pathology. Nevertheless, it is becoming increasingly evident that the existing battery of tests remains relatively insensitive ...

Epilepsy is the commonest neurological disorder presenting to medical clinics in Africa. Psychiatric co morbidity in epilepsy has been well described as an often under-recognized but significant component of the illness. There is paucity of data from the South East region of Nigeria, the most populous African country ...
It has been asserted that nucleic acid triple helices might play a role in the molecular pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease. Could changes in polyamine levels drive this? Could this partially explain why the Mediterranean diet is associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease? ...
In the central nervous system (CNS) oligodendrocytes (OL) synthesize myelin sheaths around large diameter axons. This allows the saltatory conduction of action potentials, and increases considerably the velocity of neural conduction. These cellular structures are altered during Multiple Sclerosis (MS), the most frequent demyelinating disease of the CNS. ...
Since 2012 until now, in Indonesia, there has been an interventional medical procedure that is called brain washing. Without preceded by an in-depth study, this procedure has been applied to the community. The purpose of this procedure is to treat, both acute and chronic ischemic stroke. ...
Hereditary Neuropathies include a wide range of syndromes, whose main symptoms and signs have chronic course, they could be are inherited through different patterns, and they are due to chromosomal abnormalities; they are not associated to a known metabolic defect. They represent ...
Brain plasticity, also known as neuroplasticity, is a term that encompasses both synaptic plasticity and non-synaptic plasticity it refers to changes in neural pathways and synapses ...
