as well as somewhat complementary in function. By means of neural signals and blood-borne substances, the two systems integrate the activities of body parts, protect them in numerous ways, enhance their performances in effort or exercise, promote their growth and maintain their healthy tone and vi...
you may see a neurologist to discuss potential damage to your nervous system. Be sure to seek emergency care as soon as possible after a back or head injury.
Several investigations have demonstrated that targeting HDAC activity can protect neurons and glia and improve outcomes in CNS injury and disease models. However, the enthusiasm for pan-HDAC inhibition in treating neurological conditions is tempered by their toxicity toward a host of CNS cell types -...
The central nervous system (CNS) is made up of the brain, a part of which is shown inFigure 1and spinal cord and is covered with three layers of protective coverings called meninges (from the Greek word for membrane). The outermost layer is the dura mater (Latin for “hard mother”). ...
The central nervous system (CNS) is the most delicate system in human body, with the most complex structure and function. It is vulnerable to trauma, infection, neurodegeneration and autoimmune diseases, and activates the immune system. An appropriate in
The immune system is a complex network of lymphatic tissues and organs that consists of various cell types and mediators. It is an intricate system of surveillance and protection that has evolved to protect the body from infections and endogenous malignancies. From a functional perspective, it can...
Central nervous system injuries and diseases, such as ischemic stroke, spinal cord injury, neurodegenerative diseases, glioblastoma, multiple sclerosis, and the resulting neuroinflammation often lead to death or long-term disability. MicroRNAs are small, non-coding, single-stranded RNAs that regulate post...
Being bilingual may have a protective effect against the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease. October 31, 2018 Alzheimer's Disease Alzheimer's: Can A Head Injury Increase My Risk? Some research indicates a link between head injuries and Alzheimer's disease. So what's your risk? October 30, 2018...
They are a special type of “connective tissue” for the nervous system. Sign in to download full-size image Fig. 1. Structure of neuron—each neuron has three basic parts: cell body (soma), one or more dendrites, and a single axon. The injury to CNS leads into activation of ...
It approaches the ubiquity of the vascular system. Both systems are nearly omnipresent, as well as somewhat complementary in function. By means of neural signals and blood-borne substances, the two systems integrate the activities of body parts, protect them in numerous ways, enhance their ...
